First of all, this is another classic work by Leonardo. Unfortunately, I haven't watched it on the computer. I finally watched the movie under the temptation of my luggage. The plot of the movie is very rigorous and quite exciting. The story is based on real people and real events. Even if this is the script of a famous screenwriter, the story is bizarre and unbelievable. However, "real life is sometimes a hundred times exaggerated than a fictional story." The plot is not spoiled here. Although the movie is a crime film, it has many emotions. The protagonist Frank has a terrible family environment and his parents divorced. He was only 16 years old at the time, and he ran away from home because he could not stand such a severe blow. And his cheating career also began at this time. Frank traveled all over the place to avoid FBI officer Carl’s pursuit of him (I didn’t realize that Carl was played by Tom Hanks until the last ten minutes of the film ==) Towards the end of the film, Carl wanted to keep Frank in FBI work, and said to him: nobody's chasing you. Due to Frank's lack of family care, Karl is not just a police officer who hunts him down in the film, in fact, he is also a father. He has been teaching Frank how to deal with this society. He has never forced Frank to do anything. Even in the end, when Frank can escape, he moved Frank with his father’s love, which inevitably adds warmth to the film. On the one hand, the role of the police is no longer cold. When Frank was finally arrested, he saw a little girl after his mother was divorced. He was wearing tattered clothes and looked at the family that did not belong to him on Christmas Eve and left tears. This is very sensational in the film. A paragraph. Frank's father is also a very interesting person, because Frank later became a gangster who was also influenced by his father. It can be seen in the various details of the film. For Frank, no one knows him better than the unknown agent. The agent tracks all his whereabouts, understands his hobbies and emotions. In this game of cat and mouse, Frank has already Losing, losing because he has no spiritual sustenance, and the only thing he can wait for is for agents to catch him. He is waiting to be caught, just wanting to extend the time playing the game. So Hu and that lovely agent for five years, ended up in jail in the form of half arrested and half surrendered. In reality, Frank is a genius of internal control design. People who can successfully scam money with forged checks are naturally familiar with those complicated operations, so they are so familiar with checking counterfeit checks later. If this kind of genius uses his talents to inappropriate places, he will end up like Frank. Fortunately, there is an agent who has been so responsible for him, and he just pulls him back on track. The government has served. But in real life there are not so many kind policemen, and no one cares about those who go astray. This is a social problem, but only Frank can be so lucky. The plot of forged checks in the movie, recalling that in class the teacher always emphasized that the use of checks can improve internal control, but this movie turned my mind upside down, and checks increased the possibility of fraud. It reminds me of the importance of internal control and the necessity of confidentiality of information. If anyone has access to a printing press, knows the internal operating system, and can get the information they need by acting as a reporter or a student, then the world will be messed up. Frank’s success was mainly due to his clever mind, but more importantly, it was because people did not have the concept of internal control or the principle of keeping important information confidential. It is estimated that in the present age, there will be no more. In addition, the film was completed in a high-speed working environment, but it was flawless, and many details were perfect. It is a good film that is worth watching for the second time.
