anonymous person

He's always tearing labels, that kid. Tear off the labels to keep them in reserve, as if to stick them to yourself. He always lacked an identity, even on his wedding night, he was just a nameless person.
He stopped growing the moment he ran away from his parents' divorce papers. Even though he wanders in the adult society, wears his 17-year-old body as a 28-year-old Ying Ting, opens doors with a shining uniform, and plays the rules of the adult world more familiar than adults, he is still a child, only With a simple ambition, I hope to buy back his home for my father and her love from my mother.
The mind is so smart, the performance is so bold and shocking, but the identity is also melting little by little. Who is he? A minor who was abandoned by his mother and poisoned by his father? A social person with countless identities, endless wealth, and incomparably smart, but without a real name? When everything receded, the only connection between him and the world was the phone calls of two lonely people every Christmas.
This is a very simple film, except for the legend of the thief, it is about escape and loneliness. Leonardo has a childlike innocence no matter how old he is. As he stood in the snow and stared at his mother's new daughter in the house, he looked like an angel, a homeless angel. He's always been a good fit to play someone who's cut off from the world -- maybe he didn't belong in the world at all.

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]
