"Two little mice fall in a bucket of cream,the first mouse quickly gave up and drowned.The second mouse wouldn't quit.He struggled so hard that he finally churned the cream into butter and crawled out.Gentleman,as of this moment,I am that second mouse."--Frank Abagnale Sr.
The film is directed by Steven Spielberg and features Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Abagnale Jr.,Tom Hanks as Carl Hanratty(Great cast ,isn't it?).The director Steven Spielberg is known for his adept use of hugely magnificent and epic pictures,but in this movie ,Spielberg showed his another side of directing--A lighthearted film with fascinating plot which makes you laugh,cry and wonder throughout the movie(IMDb,2005).
The film is inspired by the real story of Frank Abagnale Jr. ,who ran away from home at the age of 16 for the huge blow of his parents' divorce. In the film,Frank Abagnale Jr. really gets a talent of performing cons.He successfully gets by by forging checks and then poses as a Pan American World Airways co-pilot,a Georgia doctor and even an attorney in Louisiana even though he is just a high school boy.At the same time, FBI agent Carl Hanratty(Tom Hanks) begins to track down Frank.A prolonged game between cat and mouse thus begins.
Throughout the film,Leonardo DiCaprio is almost perfect for his interpretation of Frank.He is so charismatic and smooth even when he is telling a lie that common people would easily trust him. And when I was watching the movie ,I kept relating to the role of Jack in Titanic in which Leonardo DiCaprio posed as a poor drifter but still charming whatever he does!And as always Hanks is gooooood!
Thumbs up if you want a nice funny and fascinating film!
