Because of love, go home

Even the most intelligent criminals have their weaknesses. Frank's reliance on family is his Achilles' heel and his most lovable part. Therefore, no matter what kind of strategy Frank applies in the later period, even if he escapes temporarily, it will be easy for Carl to find him. That's also why Carl saved him, in addition to talent, a large part of it was for this reason. Because a child with an infinite longing for family in his heart will not be a cold-blooded criminal, but a reindeer who has lost his way.

Carl's love for Frank is close to the love between father and son. Frank is like a mischievous child. Although he can play tricks on his elders occasionally, he still chooses to embark on a normal life path under Carl's trust. Although the ending of the story is bland, it is also a kind of warm approach.

    The star-studded biography + crime mystery film, it seems that it is by no means Spielberg's strong point, the subject matter and style are not suitable, even Wei Guangzheng's thematic biographical film is much better than this. The cartoon head and prologue were very creative, and then they went all the way down. However, I like the two passages pretending to be a substitute teacher and pretending to be a captain and fleeing surrounded by beautiful women. (6.5/10)

    (8/10) Officer Carl is a fictitious character, but Frank, the forger, is a real person. Because of his excellent counterfeiting technology, he has served the FBI. It must be mentioned that in reality, the main responsibility for Frank’s parents’ marital problems lies with the father, but the film puts the blame on the mother. He did have a lawyer's license, but it took eight weeks instead of two. Wikipedia said that Frank was playing a French policeman in the film, but I didn't recognize it.
