See the ending credits there showing that the film is based on a true story. This is the big thief Jiang Yang, and he is also a young genius thief.

Frank was nurtured by his father, and the child was smart from an early age. As soon as I transferred schools, I pretended to be a substitute teacher, criticized the students who bullied me, and held a parent-teacher conference.

Frank's transformation was due to the divorce of his parents. His father loved his mother very much, but he was bankrupt. He thought that for this reason, his mother left her husband who loved her so much. So left home. He pretended to be a school newspaper reporter to get all kinds of information about the pilots, forged checks (while seducing the teller, while exchanging cash), one by one... He bought a new Cadillac for his father, a high-end suit, and he wanted to buy it A house allows the father to chase the mother back. But the romance of the past cannot be returned with a car, a house and endless banknotes.

Frank also fell into infinite loneliness, waking up in a different bed every day and seeing different people. No one can trust the truth. Every Christmas, Frank had to call the police officer Carl, who was tracking him down.

Carl and Frank are like Tom and Jerry. After Frank desperately escaped, he saw that his mother had lived a happy life and gave birth to a beautiful little girl. My father has passed away, and my mother has a life of her own. Carl stopped the other cops from shooting Frank, and went back to sit in a car with Frank to comfort him.

Carl understands Frank very well, he knows his intelligence, he understands the importance of love and righteousness, and he understands his loneliness and helplessness. Carl even considers himself Frank's guardian, never giving up on him like his own children.

The two of them are also friends. Because they are all living a lie. Carl has been divorced for 11 years, but still wears a wedding ring, so that his daughter is still young, and he has not missed her growth. Frank has been living in lies, deceiving himself that as long as he has money, his mother will reunite with his father, and deceiving himself that Branda truly loves himself and will not change his heart of love for him because of his name.

Sometimes it's easier living the lie.

Catch Me If You Can quotes

  • Frank Abagnale, Jr.: [donning a James Bond style suit and mimicking Sean Connery in the mirror] Hello, Pussy.

  • 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.

    Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Under whose custody?

    [Carl raises his hand]
