It is said that tragedy is to tear up comedy for people to see, but this is not the case. Any story with twists and turns likes to start with comedy, and then tear it apart to create contradictions and promote the development of the plot, so as to show people a mixed life.

The first Christmas: the warm and beautiful music, the red wine that my mother accidentally spilled on the ground, the stories my father told countless times when they first met, all became Frank's later obsession. From then on, he began to work hard Behind the desperate effort to "make money" is to refuse to admit that beautiful things have been broken.

Second Christmas: He started calling Carl even though he knew that Carl, the FBI, was after him, but he still called because he didn't seem to have much to say except Carl. Carl discovers his loneliness, takes pleasure in it, and takes a few more bites of takeout in his empty office.

The third Christmas: Frank went to find old Frank secretly, but they broke up in the end, this Christmas still became Frank's carnival, it seemed to become a habit, he called Carl again, and Carl was still chasing He, so he begged Carl to let him go, and he decided to quit. But Karl didn't agree. This time, three people in Karl's office monitored the phone with him, wanting to know Frank's whereabouts, but in the end Frank played his childlike childishness and hung up again.

Fourth Christmas: This time Karl caught Frank, and they met at Frank's check-making yard, but because of the persistence of the Spanish police, their brief meeting was "ruthlessly" separated.

Fifth Christmas: This time Carl can escort Frank back to the United States, but Frank, who learns of his father's death, escapes from the airplane from the airplane toilet. He ran to see his mother, only to see his new sister in her new family, whom he had never met. Frank looked at this warm and familiar scene and took the initiative to walk to the police car.

The real version of Phantom Thief Kidd, the young version of Luban III, and smart criminals often have a very lonely heart and a regret that they cannot be fulfilled in their entire lives.

Later, with the help of Carl, Frank was released from prison to work in the FBI, and he gradually let go of his obsession. In that cat-and-mouse game, his heart lost due to obsession, finally regained his freedom in the time of imprisonment.

  • Assistant Director Marsh: [Carl and Mr. Marsh are visiting Frank in prison; Carl hopes to convince the FBI to let Frank out of prison] I'd like for you to take a look at something, tell me what you think.

    Frank Abagnale, Jr.: [Marsh hands Frank a fake check as Carl looks on] It's a fake.

    Assistant Director Marsh: How do you know? You haven't looked at it.

    Frank Abagnale, Jr.: There's no perforated edge, right? This check was hand-cut, not fed. The paper's double-bonded, much too heavy to be a bank check. Magnetic ink, it's raised against my fingers, not flat. This doesn't smell like MICR, it's some kind of, uh, some kind of drafting ink. The kind you get at a stationery store.

    Assistant Director Marsh: Frank, would you be interested in working for the FBI's Financial Crimes Unit?

    Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I've already got a job here, you know. I, uh, deliver the mail.

    Assistant Director Marsh: Frank, we have the power to take you out of prison. You'd be placed in the custody of the FBI where you'd serve out the remainder of your sentence as an employee of the Federal Government.
