How to outsmart the FBI - Catch me if you can

A faultless scene from the Steven Spielberg's film: 'Catch me if you can', clearly a great interpretation by Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Frank Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio) was a former confidence trickster, check forger, and impostor pursued by the FBI agent: Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks). Abagnale successfully conned millions of dollars’ worth of checks as a Pan Am pilot, doctor, and Louisiana parish prosecutor.

Something I love about this scene is that they don’t play him off cool as a cucumber, tho he is managing to fool the agent he’s cleary thinking “oh fuck oh fuck” after doing the window theatre.

In the behind the scene, Leo said he really glad he got to spent time with the real Frank. He's really fascinated by the way Frank's encourage people to believe them in such a very natural way that a teenage boy could ever pull. He also said, he did Frank's character not-so-perfect because that's actually what makes Leo didn't overact or even made Frank so-professional at what he was doing.

anyway, one of my favorite Leo's movies!

I really did love how Carl was kind of his friend throughout the movie. When frank didn't get to see his father much and his mother never, Carl talked to him every christmas. Also how when he finally got arrested Carl said to frank that he would end up in the U.S governments hands. stating he shouldn't worry ect. And in the scene right before that they were right next to each other talking about Carl's daughter and trust.

[@matt2522]

Carl knew Frank was just a dumb (yet smart) kid.

[@Thomas-jo4rz]

My favourite detail is at 2:04 when DiCaprio's character says "yeah sure" in that tiresome tone, his gaze slowly falling as well before reassuring himself. That detail is showing his realisation that this detective is the real deal and his confidence can not be shaken by making him feel subordinated like everyone else prior to this point and to ease his skepticism, he gives him temporary assurance (the wallet) and distracts him momentarily in that state to elongate the sub-conscious validation process which during this interaction the detective considers pointless, since he has already been given the wallet. I think that "waaait" at the end is great too, like he's pretty sure it's not the guy he's looking for but he knows he can't let him leave without verifying, that skepticism is what makes him good at his job, plus DiCaprio was beginning to rush himself as he saw his freedom getting closer. The detective (I can't remember anyone's name, I watched this movie a while ago) could just check the wallet that he has but it would make him appear injustifiably skeptical again, making him look worse, so rather than take that risk, he offers the wallet back, knowing that if it really is the guy he's looking for, then he won't be planning on coming back up (his hands already being full) and momentarily, being stopped right before the exit and implying he left the wallet by accident, the expected coverup would be to thank him but instead, the additional compliment "I trust you" because that's what he's trying to get from him. And then of course the following subsequent premature celebration. That "hey" out the window gets me since he sounds so betrayed after he just said he trusts him and made him falsely on the other side as well.
