——Comment on the movie "Improper" The
movie "Improper" is often translated into "Cat and Mouse Game", telling the story of the loss and return of a genius.
Little Frank Albanell is an extremely intelligent thief. The reason why he was able to develop from an empty-handed teenager to a high-IQ fraudster, three conditions created this super thief:
First, the influence of his father. Frank William Albanell is a successful pen ink and other stationery merchant in New York City. He was accepted as a life member by the Rotary Club of New Rotary, which can only be entered by a few elites, and gave a speech on the same stage with the governor and president. The chamber resisted. He can be said to be a successful career, a happy family, a charming wife, and a handsome son growing up. When he was young, he landed in France as a war hero. Without knowing a word of French, he stood out from 200 comrades-in-arms suitors and became the only winning bidder for the stunning beauty of Montréchet. Six weeks later Just marry her back to the United States, Mr. Albanell is really a wonderful life. The outstanding training of his father made his son outstanding. However, this successful man encountered a career crisis and was punished by the government for taxation problems. Tax evasion means that Mr. Albanell is a thief.
In addition to passing the thief gene to his son, the father also gave him enough demonstration and training.
In order to maintain the business, Mr. Albanell tried to obtain a loan. He took his son to public relations and socialize to let him gain insights and use it to train and train successors. Little Frank does not have a formal dress, Mr. Albanell must take him to rent a black suit, because a decent dress will make a good impression on others. Before business hours, Mr. Albanell bluntly complimented the clerk Daisy’s name, and said casually that it was a funeral for his father, a military funeral for an old war hero, enjoying the launch of a fighter plane, and 21 shots. Zhi Ai's luxurious specifications are just for renting a set of clothes, and his deceased father can also be the material for his lies. This move still couldn't move Daisy. Mr. Albanell was naturally able to adapt and gift necklaces cleverly. He used human greed to achieve his goal. It is conceivable that Mr. Albanell relied on these philosophies to climb to the top of the society step by step, and these little tricks will be passed on to his son Frank Jr. as intellectual property, becoming a family secret that he frequently used when he first debuted.
Before entering the bank, Mr. Albanell taught his son another lesson: Why do the Yankees always win? Because the opponent only looks at their handsome uniforms. Good bags and good packaging are always dazzling. The bank manager will open the door for him. Everyone in this world judges people by their appearance. The universal weakness of human nature creates universal loopholes in society.
2. Outstanding talent. Lao Tzu is a hero, young Frank is better than blue because of blue, and has amazing talent for fraud.
He was super awesome at the age of sixteen. Not to mention that he had the idea to pretend to be a substitute teacher and deceived students of the same age. Even the real substitute teacher came and was run away by him. He actually taught a week of French class in a majestic manner. Assigning homework, holding parent-teacher meetings, and even thinking of extracurricular teaching in the French bakery factory, even the school administrators were kept in the dark by him.
He is very attentive. When the principal asked the parents to wait for the punishment, he could easily see that a girl’s reason for asking for leave was false and she had no experience in lying. "The note has no creases. If your mother gives you a note, you will surely fold it and put it. Into the pocket." The little guy is really observant.
Not only was he not punished when he was expelled from school, his father even silently supported him. The father and the son laughed at each other. The father was proud that his son had inherited his IQ. If there is a father, there must be a son. The little Frank got his father's true story.
3. Broken family. Because of bad credit, Mr. Albanell failed to get the loan. The car was taken away by the bank and the family was driven out of the mansion, but Mr. Albanell was not crushed. He also mocked his son and said, "We took advantage of him, and they paid 500 yuan more." The father was strong. The optimistic character of will is also passed on to his son.
Leaving the mansion, Mr. Albanell was still talking and laughing. He used the joke of selling shoes to centipedes to comfort his crying wife, but it was basically ineffective. A woman who has been accustomed to the life of a rich woman can't change from extravagance to frugality. In order to satisfy her material life, she single-handedly created the collapse of the family. For growing children, family bankruptcy is not a problem, mother’s derailment is the problem, and parental divorce is the fundamental problem. Little Frank could not accept a broken family and chose to run away from home, starting a genius wandering. In order to survive, he used deception as a means of earning a living and got lost on the path of crime.
Under the interactive influence of these three conditions, Frank Jr. quickly grew into a generation of top fraud masters.
His son's "career" is flourishing, and his father's situation is deteriorating. His shop has become unsustainable and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Little Frank found his father who was using wine to pour his sorrows in the bar. He planned to get rid of the rivers and lakes because he was about to get married, but his father refused to let him stop. Because the son can let the U.S. government run away and the federal agents can be exhausted, and these are the punishments the father wants to make to the government. In his opinion, all the unlucky things such as bankruptcy, divorce, and family dissolution are abominable. As a result of the government, his son became a tool for him to retaliate against the government and the society. Under his father's connivance and "coercion", the young Frank went further and further down the road of crime, and he couldn't stop. It can be said that it was this pair of terrible parents who jointly created this talented criminal. Frank's high IQ criminal experience is not a "performance" worth showing off, but his misfortune.
Although the young Frank is extremely clever, he still made many detours when he first wandered into the world. He was young and always had to pay tuition.
He was swept out of the hotel. In order to survive, he began to forge bank checks, alter and paste them, and pretend to be a clerk. He complimented the female bank staff like his father. He imitated his father for bribery, but he was not sophisticated enough in details, so he failed repeatedly. He tells all the lies, his grandmother’s birthday, textbooks stolen, his illness, and other reasons for the sympathy of bloggers, can’t make the cheque of unknown origin be cashed.
These are all because he doesn't have the handsome uniform of the Yankees. When he saw that the well-dressed flight attendants were sought after like stars, he immediately decided to become a pilot too. He first interviewed Mr. Morgan, the owner of Pan American Airlines, pretending to be a student reporter, and learned everything about the pilot. Then he cheated the flight attendant uniform. He is close. It is so easy to succeed, and the authenticity of this film is inevitably suspicious, but the producer Walter F. Parks and director Spielberg both believe that the reason why Abbanier was able to hide from the sky in the 1960s should be partly due to innocence. The specific background of the era. Parks’ words answered the audience’s questions: "I think the 1960s was an age of innocence. At that time, the counterculture had not yet formed. People believed that clothing was a status symbol, and a uniform meant a corresponding status. Frank knew this well. , So I can get through it for a long time."
After bidding farewell to the youthful apprenticeship, the underage protagonist became an old world, and the mature little Frank began to show his talents, forged more various checks, and even boarded the Shunfeng for free as the deputy captain. He can easily trick a flight attendant into bed with Xiao En Xiaohui. He can easily find out the bank code, open a checking account in a different bank, use regional differences to tamper with the code, and constantly forge checks without being caught.
One of the most funny passages is that he spent $1,000 on a female model who had sex with a female model and paid a fake check of 1,400 yuan. Instead, he got a real banknote of 400 yuan to find his head, which was really a deception.
Federal agent Karl Hanrati found the hotel where Frank was hiding. He was calm and calm in the face of danger. He deceived the veteran agents, and then continued to defraud the bank. He became James Bond in the sky.
From pilot to wealthy businessman, from wealthy businessman to doctor, from doctor to lawyer, he can change his profession and identity at any time. He is the director of the night shift emergency room. He has strict management and command. He can rely on the image data to supplement his medical knowledge and he can handle the work without any flaws. In fact, he will vomit when he sees bleeding.
In the house of the nurse's girlfriend Brenda Strong, the three of the Strong family sang an Irish ballad improvisation on the TV. At first he was completely unfamiliar and could not say a word. He could keep up with the rhythm after listening to a few bars. Sing with them. He brags that he graduated from the Law Department of the University of Berkeley and didn’t want to meet the true Buddha. The prospective father-in-law who graduated from the same major at the school asked the strange old man Professor He and his dog. It is impossible for Little Frank to know the name of the dog, but He replied with a foolproof and unquestionable sentence: "His dog is dead." He couldn't be witty anymore.
Despite seeing through the false identities of the son-in-law, the prospective father-in-law is still willing to help this bright and motivated young man. Who would not like him? Under the guidance of his prospective father-in-law, with his own ability, he obtained the lawyer's certificate after two weeks of hard work.
He also evaded the police again and again without concealing himself, and circling the drylands of the federal agent nation.
This kid is really a genius. Everything he does and every case he commits is a big deal. If he doesn't go wrong, we have reason to believe that he will have a bright future, and now he has a criminal record. How brilliant he is, it means how serious his loss is, how amazing his deception methods are, and how deep his misfortune is.
Federal agent Karl Hanrati has a dull and uninteresting character. He is not funny at all when telling jokes, but this does not prevent him from having strong business skills. As a laughing stock and marginalized, he can only partner with two demoted dumb guys. Because the marriage failed and his daughter was under the custody of his ex-wife, he had to devote himself to work to relieve his loneliness. He was just as lonely as Little Frank. Therefore, the relationship between Agent Carl and the suspect Frank has always been half-enemy and half-friend. The relationship between the police and the robber, the cat catching the mouse, and the phone call on Christmas Eve to get rid of loneliness.
According to clues from the marriage news, Carl found that at the wedding, Frank ran away in a hurry. Brenda agreed to meet with him at the airport, but she was already under control, and Kalb was under control. Every entrance and exit of the airport was guarded by special personnel. Even the men's toilet would be checked regularly. Frank seemed to be doomed to escape.
Because the airport is the only way to escape, in order to be able to leave here safely, Frank once again showed his magical powers to cross the sea. As a pilot, he was caught among the eight flight attendants he recruited at the university under the name of Pan American Airlines. By the time the agents found out that he had been fooled, he had already flew to the cloud to escape from the United States, and then continued to make the most professional real checks all over the world.
Based on the paper quality, ink, printing technology and other factors of the cheques, bank experts inferred that these cheques should be printed in several countries such as Europe and France. From this, Karl judged that the young Frank was hiding in Montréchet, France, because of that. It was his mother's hometown, where his parents met and fell in love and formed a mandarin alliance. That was the source of his love. His heart longed for his parents and a good family to reunite. When he was able to find this, Carl also understood the emotions of little Frank and the motivation of the crime. He knew that little Frank was just a lost child, and the relationship between police and robbers between him and little Frank began to change, and he wanted to treat this lost child. bring home.
Little Frank hid in the printing factory next to the church in Montréchet, near the place where his parents had their wedding, so that he could get closer to love, but his wish was no longer fulfilled. Carl rescued him from the French police who had imprisoned him for about three years and extradited him back to the United States because he could receive the most humane treatment in the United States, while in Europe he would only die in jail. On the plane, Carl informed his father of his death. The heartbroken little Frank escaped when the plane was about to land, but this time he did not want to escape, but ran to his mother's new home. Standing outside the window of his mother's new home, he gazed with tears and affectionately into the warm glass windows. The orange lights, the considerate husband, and the beautiful and well-behaved little daughter, the family of three enjoyed the family happiness. The indoors are warm and pleasant, although the outdoors is covered with snow, but the trees are covered with colorful lights, it is really warm indoor and outdoor. And little Frank stood blankly outside the window, he was just an unloved child, a child without a family.
I can no longer have a complete family. The dream of reuniting my parents and a good family is completely shattered. The frustrated little Frank accepted the arrest. He was sentenced to twelve years in prison and only served four years in jail, and began to work with Carl. , Do what he is good at. He might habitually run away during the first weekend vacation, but Karl didn't stop him. He arrived as scheduled on Monday, and he did not run away, because here, Carl built a home for him. With a home, Frank will never get lost or wander again.
The meaning of everyone’s life is for the family. From this point of view, Agent Carl is a loser. His wife left and his daughter took away. His life became boring and meaningless. He saved himself by saving this little criminal. In life, he didn't see the lack of his daughter. Little Frank made up for him. Subconsciously, Little Frank became his lost child. This is his self-salvation. He saves himself by saving little Frank and makes his life meaningful. So this is a story of salvation and self-saving. In the end, Agent Carl and the criminal Frank changed from a relationship between a policeman and a robber, a cat and a mouse, to a father-son relationship. Therefore, the translation of this movie into "Getting Out of the Law" cannot restore the essence. "Cat and Mouse Game" is simply an insult. I prefer its earliest translation title "I Know Who You Are". This is a good pun. It means me on the surface. Knowing that you are a criminal and where you are hiding implies that I know that you are a child who longs for love and a complete family. Carl knows, the director knows. Frank was lost on the road of crime because of the broken family, and because Karl never gave up on him, Frank finally found a home again. In short, the reason why little Frank is miserably lost is because of the loss of love, and his reason can return because he has found the long-lost love again. This is also Carl's compensation for him. Carl needs a child, and Frank needs a home. They complement each other and compensate each other.
The reason why a person can go the wrong way and commit a crime is often because he loses love, cares, and his soul is hurt. Really heinous bad guys are rare. Most criminals just lost their way in life, so the best reform for criminals is not imprisonment or punishment, but healing, healing their broken hearts with love! Certain wicked and stubborn demons naturally have to treat them differently, but for the whole society, the healing of love is the fundamental way out. This is also the biggest inspiration this movie brings to the audience.
