Christopher Walken pulled the performance of a century with this one. His characters sudden "removal" from the plot after he already had less and less scenes as the film goes on, still hits like a train.

[@thequarteryearman9305]

Had the pleasure of working on this film. I was the middle guard in America when we take Leo to his cell and walk back talking (another couple scenes, one on the cutting floor). Leo and Hanks were a joy to work with and a pleasure to watch in their craft. The cherry on top was being directed (for the cutting room floor scene) by Spielberg. All that's left of that one is me letting Hanks and the other actor through the big cell door. We filmed in a working women's prison, though the section we were in was condemned for 24 hour living (due to earthquake damage), so we had the section to ourselves. So very happy you got to watch this one.

[@christopherschreiber5805]

LOL. Flying 6,000 miles an hour at 300 ft. would be VERY dangerous.

[@alphanerd7221]

Flying 6,000 miles an hour is very dangerous.

[@toddhill7483]

But it IS quite a rush.

[@stephjovi]

well he`s probably never flown a plane in his life so his fiction has to sound exciting

[@rextside]

In fairness to the movie they are very faithful to Frank Abagnale's autobiography, however Frank Abagnale's autobiography has proven to be a complete work of fiction. The greatest con he ever pulled was inventing his own life story. Still a great movie though.

[@LuckySmurf]

His second greatest con was tricking Hollywood into making a movie about his fictional life story.

[@kazimierasmickus8097]

@@LuckySmurf his third biggest con was actign in the same movie

[@troikas3353]

@@LuckySmurf That's not much of a con to be honest, if a studio thinks a movie will make a profit they will make the movie. Pretty much every "based on a true story" film ever made is 90% madeup or exaggerated nonsense as it is.

[@geneeverett7855]

He proved he’s a legit con man. Getting this fiction made proves he has legit con king skills

[@bamachine]

@@troikas3353 One of the very few exceptions to this is another Tom Hanks movie, Apollo 13. Only minor things were "made up" for that movie. Might be the closest to reality of any "based on" movie made in Hollywood.

[@ttsg5601]

Hats off to the casting director for finding these actresses before they were famous. Ellen Pompeo, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Adams and Jennifer Garner. I know Garner was starring in Alias at the time, but was not a household name.

[@stevenwilson1938]

22:30 Ian Flemming wrote the initials novels of James Bond

[@Sgt-Gravy]

Flying in an airplane was a rare occasion & whole big thing in the past. Everyone would dress up for it, just as if it were night out to a nice restaurant or the theater. The pilots were seen as super stars, much like astronauts were in the early days of NASA. Con man, is short for confidence man.

[@jerseyfky]

I'm sure someone has probably said this to you by now, but in regards to airplanes / pilots / and flying..........Pilots were asked for their autographs back in the 60s and 50s because they were looked at as high society, upper class. Nowadays you have pilots flying regional jets for 28k per year. Also... when it comes to air travel itself, it was hugely new back then so if you were any part of an air crew, you were looked upon as royalty almost.

[@JesterRed]

Catch me if You Can was also turned into a Broadway musical.

[@BlunderMunchkin]

Back in the day being a pilot was sorta like being a rock star.

[@Trifler500]

"I don't know what happened to Pan Am" According to a web search: They were hit hard by the fuel shortages in the 70's, which forced them to sell off many of their international routes, right after they had just spent billions on new long-haul 747's, which unfortunately were not so great for domestic travel. The death knell came when terrorists detonated a bomb in a suitcase on Flight 103, killing everyone on board.

[@a35362]

The two things I associate with Pan Am are 1) the Beatles and 2) 2001: A Space Odyssey. You'd think with publicity like that they'd last forever.

[@frenchynoob]

Walken telling him "you can't stop" really sold the character for me. He _KNOWS_ if his son gets caught, he's never seeing the outside of a cell again. Only thing he can do is keep running. He doesn't tell him to do the right thing, he tells him to do what he needs to survive. Like a father realistically would.

[@daffodil852]

I think the father also said not to “stop” because he was living vicariously through his son. His father got punished and lost everything he had, so he is taking pleasure through Frank tricking the system. Remember how gleeful he was, telling Frank he’s got them scared? And how proud he was of Frank after the substitute trick. I don’t think he wanted Frank to come back, based on his “What are you doing here”. That was fear of Frank going to prison. But he wanted Frank to keep pulling cons, to play the game.

[@erencanaslan7989]

@@daffodil852 it's the saddest part of the movie for me :/

[@its_just_garrett_b]

Leonardo DiCaprio was really good in "Man in the Iron Mask"!

[@dlrico]

Glad to finally see a video where you're not bawling. lol If you haven't seen it already, I recommend watching the show "White Collar". The show picks up where this movie left off; except, it has to do with arts and antiquites... and it follows the cases that the 2 solve together. Very good show.

[@BrandonWestfall]

There's something great about Tom Hanks telling a knock knock joke. Even moreso with the punchline.

[@Angelderbat]

If you like this movie, your should check out the tv series White Collar. I loved that show. Similar premise - con man gets caught and works for the FBI.

[@RiverGodess]

Yes! Please! That is my favorite show of all time. Please watch it, it really is amazing!

[@shanecoleman1597]

You ever notice in movies that their teeth are always perfect, even in movies where its like 1400s like who is your dentist lol my grandpa told me that and it has stuck with me forever

[@alphanerd7221]

Teeth were actually better in the 1400's. Our teeth rot because of all the refined sugar. Ever notice that dogs don't need dentists?

[@alphanerd7221]

Everyone catches Barry Allen but nobody notices Dr. Connors.

[@AndrewKendall71]

Oh, I super forgot the Saul Bass style opening credits design. So much about this film is great... and stylish - as a designer, love that intro.

[@TheMadMurf]

This was such a fun movie. Enjoyed the reaction!

Let’s go ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄

[@baron7755]

There was a time that pilots were rockstars and stewardesses were pinups

[@pinkpenzu]

Good times

[@henrymassey9904]

For another great con artist movie, in the same vein. I recommend the Tony Curtis movie "The Great Imposter". Also based on a true story, and equally as much fun.

[@treetopjones737]

Very young Leo: he did some bit acting work on a couple of sitcoms as a kid.

[@lakeit]

Merry Christmas Angela!

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

interesting little tidbit for all you little tidbit lovers out there: the "inspired by" credit exists thanks to director terry gilliam and his 1996 film "12 monkeys." the idea for that film came from the 1962 french film "La Jetée." the studio wanted to follow the hollywood tradition of using the credit "based upon." and there were also union rules to consider. but gilliam argued his film was only inspired by the other film. the 2 films were actually too different for his film to be considered "based upon" the other film. he fought for the right to use the "inspired by" credit and won in the end. how's that for an interesting little tidbit? btw, the short film "La Jetée," directed and written by chris marker, is a very unique film. it uses a series of stills to tell its story. there are no "moving" images in the film. thanks for the video.

[@GarrettJayChristian]

you feel happy for Frank bc hes a has a good heart. he was young and did bad things while running from what scared him. When he was given the direction to do something better, he did.

Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first little mouse drowned. The second little mouse told everyone he fell in and churned it into butter, but really it was all bullshit and there wasn't even a bucket or another mouse.

[@massdistractions]

Great reaction to a great and fun movie. I remember first hearing of Frank William Abagnale when I was just a kid, seeing him on To Tell The Truth which is depicted at the beginning of the movie. My mind was blown to hear of what he did at such a young age. It was so great to see his adventure made into a movie years later.

Merry Christmas 🎄 Watch your doors and corners... ✌️

[@sharonrigsby5297]

Airlines used to be glamorous, hence the autographs.

[@Pixelologist]

Air travel back in the 50s and into the 60s was a much more glamorous affair. Pilots were celebrities; stewardesses (yes, sorry, it was the time) were beautiful; and passengers would get dressed up for the experience. I mean, we romanticize it to an extent today but it really was very different from the cattle car reality of today.

[@thorguff]

No need to apologize for using a term that was obviously an official term.

[@ZheToralf]

If you love this movie, I can recommend the show "White Collar". Its a bit like "catch me if you can" crossed with "oceans eleven" but a bit lower stakes. It's lots of fun..

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

And Bomer is Gorgeous

[@a35362]

The movie presents Abagnale like a lovable scamp, thumbing his nose at the system, but his Wikipedia page presents him like a loser who can't stop lying and who got arrested a lot and who made up a lot of his stories. What a guy.

[@Hollycb12]

2:25 speaking of Rey, I've always thought you resemble Daisy Ridley. You're both beautiful!!!

6:06 Yes, he learned to be a con man from watching his father...ironically (not shown in the film) the first man he conned WAS his father.

[@josephforest7605]

Did you read the book ? I did read the book and it turns out Frank' real story is all fake . Alan C Logan investigated Frank and Frank's real story is all nonsense .

[@maurer3d]

The greatest con Frank Abagnale ever (truly) pulled was to get this movie made.

[@JozyMozy]

9:42 not "diddling!" LMAO Happy Holidays, Angela and team! Congratulations on everything you've done over the past year, y'all deserve the world!

[@Poooof]

Hope you will watch "I Love You Phillip Morris". It is kinda the same life based story about famous criminal but more comical

[@maurer3d]

1:10 Of course Die Hard is a Christmas movie, it's about a guy trying to get to his children for the holiday. It isn't his fault that the terrorists had other plans.

[@PanzerKunstExponent]

Cool reaction and movie! Merry Christmas Angela!

[@SoloRenegade]

I've crammed for exams before, literally days before taking it, and passed. Depends upon the type of test.

[@sathvamp1]

It DEFINITELY DEPENDS on the type of test (and sometimes on luck too). And you can NEVER tell for sure, how you should "best study for a test" UNTIL you take "that type of test" at least once. But regarding the "depends on type of test": For example, cramming NEVER would have worked for the organic chemistry tests (not for the specific course I took). Neither would have "staying up too late" for those types of tests either. But on the OTHER hand, there was one biochemistry test that I stayed up until 5am for studying, then woke up at 7am (so, 2 hours of sleep), to take it at 8am... and got a 95% (although I don't think I "crammed" for it... just stayed up late "finishing" my studying). But UNLIKE that organic chemistry course, the biochemistry tests did NOT require critical thinking (just memorization). Probably the craziest cramming I'd ever done (out of necessity.... I was REALLY busy around that time)... was doing ALL of my initial learning and studying for a particular Abnormal Psychology test in THE two hours prior to the test.... between 7-9am that morning. The test was on five [reasonably-sized, NOT small!] chapters (good thing I was a VERY fast reader!) ... but no matter HOW fast one can read, there is still no time to do "actual" reading of five chapters in only two hours... so I settled for "speed-picking-bolded-vocabulary-terms-with-my-eyes" along with their major definitions / points. I got a 95%. I was really surprised though; I would NEVER recommend anyone ever do that "on purpose" if they have any other choice (I just didn't have a choice at the time!)

[@josephforest7605]

The real Frank never took the test , his entire fake story is out Alan C Logan has outed the real Frank Abagnale .

[@user-xj3ve7wt8k]

It was fun watching this with you. Had seen this on cable a few years back and forgot how good this movie was. Love the background of the room you are in. Interesting items with the ships and posters. Thanks for sharing.

[@treetopjones737]

His BS book that inspired this movie reminds me of another: In the 70's a pair of guys had an idea for a book that could sell ( it did become a hit ) interviewing stewardesses to write about all their funny stories. But the women they interviewed didn't have funny stories, so they sat down and wrote fiction of wacky things happening on plane flights, and people assumed it was true. It was called "Coffee, Tea, Or Me?"

[@ThomasKnip]

This movie has all the heartwarming moments to be perfect for Christmas. And it is a fun movie, too. ^^

I think you’d have a lot of fun watching one of Amy Adams’ first movies; the late 90s dark comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous. It’s about a teen beauty pageant in a rural Minnesota town. Also has Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, Ellen Barkin, Allison Janney, Kirstie Alley, Brittany Murphy, and Adam goddamn West. The cast is weirdly stacked, like me. 🤪

It really is amazing nothing in this autobiography was real. He actually spent twenty years in and out of prison for passing bad checks. He did spend a few weeks traveling the east coast in a pilot uniform stalking a flight attenendent. There was no French prison, no FBI job.

[@geneeverett7855]

It’s hilarious there’s people offended at this and stand up for him 😂

[@borjankosarac3645]

Obviously there’s the caveat of how the autobiography isn’t truly nonfictional as is claimed, but Di Caprio being in his twenties playing a minor correlates to Frank William Abignale purportedly looking older than his actual age… Either way, it makes enjoying the film less objectionable as far as “biopics” go; if a lot of the details are fictional anyway, the Hollywoodisms are less offensive inherently. I can think of a few particularly egregious and problematic “based on a true story” cases, some of which are especially heinous as far as humans rewriting history to suit themselves. At least going in it was known that Carl Hanratty (waa that the spelling?) was a fictional character loosely based on the cops tracking Frank. Makes sense as a throughline and gives them a personal connection that carries the whole story.

[@routchenko]

Angela, a movie recommendation to react if you haven't seen it is Arrival (2016) directed by Denis Villeneuve

[@4thwallbreaking870]

If you like these kind of stories, maybe give White Collar a try. It's an amazing show

[@JMO_1976]

​@@kazimierasmickus8097I rewatch those, plus Suits, In Plain Sight, & Leverage quite a bit. From the early 2000s to the mid 2010s, networks like USA & TNT had some excellent series. Now they essentially are rerun networks, funnily enough for everyone else's shows. It's surprising they don't rerun their own shows at all.

This came out in the same month as "Gangs of New York" so DiCaprio was in two big movies at the same time. Those performances both helped shed the backlash to the post-"Titanic" teen idol hype. It had been five years since "Titanic" but he took a break after its success and chose projects carefully, first with "The Beach" in 2000.

Sadly it was just recently reported that this account is false. Frank apparently got away with a con...why not be surprised. And For Hard a Christmas movie? I like Die Hard just fine but what makes it a Christmas movie? Many movies have different backgrounds but that doesn't mean that's their story.

[@alphanerd7221]
