The 16-year-old Frank William Abagonel (Leonardo DiCaprio) originally had a happy family. His father is a business elite and has received the Medal of Honor from the mayor. He enjoys a good reputation. His mother is glamorous and kind and loving. Frank lived an enviable life, but all his life ended up in his father's shop and was accused of tax evasion by the government. His father's reputation was discredited, and his superior material life plummeted. Frank's father tried to get a loan from the bank to make a comeback, but was repeatedly refused. The mother had an affair and finally got to the point of divorcing her father. Frank was upset and decided to run away from home. Everything is different from then on. Frank used his ingenuity and some skills he learned from his father to start cheating. Frank pretended to be the deputy captain of Pan American Airlines and traveled to more than 50 U.S. states and more than 20 countries including France. Bank checks scam bank payments, and even fake checks were used to pay for sex transactions. Later, he falsified his documents and became a doctor. He was qualified as a lawyer in Louisiana and became a prosecutor. In the past few years, Frank defrauded more than 4 million U.S. dollars. FBI agent Carl Henretti (Tom Hanks) was ordered to hunt down Frank, but was tricked by Frank several times and failed to catch him. Just like Tom and Jerry in the cartoon "Cat and Mouse", the cat will never try to catch a clever mouse. Carl later investigated Frank's family situation. He hated Frank's crimes and teased himself, but unconsciously sympathized with his family experience and admired his ingenuity. The two started a cat and mouse. game. But in the process of hunting down, Carl's feelings towards Frank are also changing. From his disgust at his behavior, to his appreciation of his talents, to his father-like care and trust, this is not just a simple policeman. Chase, but a divorced middle-aged man's rescue of a child who has fallen because of the broken family.
I like Carl's care and appreciation for Frank, but I also hate his perseverance in hunting Frank. I often think that if he can let Frank go, maybe Frank can start a new life and marry the girl named Brenda in New Orleans. . But then I realized that I was wrong. If Karl put Frank on a horse, Frank would never be able to grow up in his life. He would always live under another name Kaunas or another name that was not his real name anyway. He would never be himself, but if To grow up, you must be responsible for everything you do.
Frank was just a child from beginning to end. He has been trying to solve the problem by evading. He thought that as long as he was rich, his parents could go back to the same life as before. The home was still warm and his mother could spend time in a small villa with a fireplace. The father danced on the brand new carpet to tell his son about their wonderful encounter. After he successfully pretended to be a pilot, his first thought was to tell his father that their family members as pilots could take the flight for free, and let his father tell his mother to prepare luggage to travel; he was able to cash more and more cash through a check and then first give it to his father. Buy a Cadillac and let him drive home to surprise his mother and take her for a drive; after he is tired of cheating and wants to get married, he is the first to inform his father because he wants his father to take his mother to participate. Wedding, and he had forgotten that his mother had an affair before getting divorced. He deliberately avoided the reality and blind illusion that his mother would remarry and believed that his mother was just angry with his father, and his mother would finally reconcile with his father and return to it. This home. When he heard from his father that the FBI found out that his mother and his family had remarried, he didn't care whether his parents knew that he had committed a crime. Instead, he repeatedly asked his father: "How can she be like this? How can she be like this?" He is a child, otherwise It is not just because the outside world called him "James Bond in the sky" that he would spend money to buy all Bond's outfits in the movie, clothes, sports cars, and women. Naturally, this "Bond girl" was also bought with money, which is a pity. It was a check made by Frank himself and the girl gave Frank cash. He was just a child, but in the end no one thought he was a child except his father and Karl, and treated him as a criminal, but Karl did not, as Karl said to Frank’s father: "He is not a criminal, he just in trouble." When everyone thinks he is just a child, only Karl realizes that what he committed is not a guilt that a child can bear; and when everyone thinks he is a criminal, only Karl (if his father is still If he is alive, his father counts as one) thinking he is just a child, Karl finally said to Frank, "You're just a kid.
Frank's feelings for Karl are also very strange. Their relationship between enemies and friends makes the two wonderfully connected, although the honest Karl will always be shaved by Frank again and again. There are two things that touched me the most in the film. One was that Frank cried bitterly when he learned that his father had passed away on the plane. He recalled that when he was 16 years old, when his father and mother were dancing at home on Christmas Day, tears were already in my eyes. But I couldn’t help but after Frank escaped from the police. Frank stood outside his mother’s room on Christmas Eve after he escaped. He saw that his mother had a comfortable and elegant new life, and she had a new life. Husband, the most important thing is that she has new children. She has forgotten the son Frank. Just like forgetting her incompetent ex-husband, Frank is standing outside her mother’s house and bewildered when she sees the police car that came to hunt him. When he found a savior, he couldn’t wait to get into the police car and said to Carl: "Let me get in the car, Carl!" In the end, his father died and his mother completely forgot about him. Where should he go? Frank's father asked Frank for a sentence, and at this moment it had a double meaning. His old father asked Frank: "Frank, where are you going tonight?" When his father didn't know, his father asked Frank with a smile, and when his father was utterly depressed and already knew what Frank did, his old father asked Frank helplessly and distressedly. On that Christmas snowy night, Frank, in thin clothes, looked at his mother's warm home, which had nothing to do with him, and turned and left. At that moment, my tears broke completely. The other is that after 5 years of Frank’s imprisonment, Frank was able to regain his personal freedom due to Karl’s advice and running away, and worked as an FBI technical consultant to solve difficult scams. On the first day of work, I saw Frank’s expression and the people around him. Tears fell from my eyes when I was on my face, Frank was finally able to use his real name to work and live upright. Although the files were piled up like a mountain, he was very busy at work, but Frank was happy because the busyness was So real, no longer adulterated. Frank wore the uniform of a Pan American pilot again. I don’t know where he went that time. Maybe he went to the variety show at the beginning of the movie. Maybe it’s something else, but it doesn’t matter where he went. What’s important is that he went again. When he came back, he did not live up to Carl's trust in him and the efforts and guarantees he had done for him. He started a normal life and made a lot of money with his expertise in cheque making. He would have a home he had longed to find in Brenda. The family sang around the TV to the variety show after dinner, and swayed with the melody of old music while washing the dishes with his lover. What was different about Tatsu's time was: This time Frank used his real name to be with his family forever, no more lies and deceit...
ps: I have never understood the feelings of the children of divorced parents. Although many friends are like this, maybe I still can’t fully understand it now, but I think they all have such a simple feeling for their parents, just like Frank. And the strong hope is: to be with you, as before. Although not everyone has to go through these earth-shattering things like Frank did to realize that the wish is unfulfilled, but I believe that everyone is as hurt as Frank, and they have wanted to use evasion to face the cruel facts. Either cynicism or depravity or study hard. For these people who are hurt in their hearts, I can only wish in my heart that they will finally have a warm home of their own.
