Reacting to CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (2002) | Movie Reaction

[@cjpreach]

Christopher Walken was amazing in this film. Such depth of emotion.

[@haunted_autumn]

I only found your channel a few months ago, but I instantly fell in love with your reaction style... Seeing your reaction to 'Catch Me If You Can' pop up on my feed just now, I literally shouted 'Lets Fucking Goooooo!' My favorite reactor reacting to one of my top 3 films of all time... today is a good day!

[@garybradford8332]

There is a 1961 movie starring Tony Curtis called "The Great Imposter". It's the true story of Ferdinand Demara who did pose in a variety of professions including a US Navy surgeon. It's a fun watch.

You mentioned that you have not yet reacted to any of the James Bond movies. Well, since Christopher Walken is your "favorite actor", you will be pleased to know that he plays the major villain in one of the Bond films (A View To A Kill). I know you will enjoy it, along with al the other Bond films. Some are much better than others, but they are all well worth viewing!

[@MarcoMM1]

Another great reaction Marie like always. This movie its so good its one of my favourites, and what a deluxe cast. And some fun-facts about this movie, it took 22 years for the book to be turned into a movie. And Frank Abagnale admits that the story was way exaggerated. Carl Hanratty is based on several FBI agents who pursued Frank Abagnale, mostly one named Joseph Shea. If it were true-to-life, christopher walken would hardly be in this movie. In real life, Abagnale never saw his father again after he ran away. But Spielberg wanted to have Frank Jr. continue to seek his father's approval, to show up in his Pan Am uniform to impress him and seek advice from him. Jennifer Garner only had to work for one day. Spielberg had seen Jennifer Garner on Alias and thought she was about to become a big star. He was pleased that she was willing to take such a small role in his movie, and she was probably pleased, too: it only required a day of shooting. The film’s score was composed by the legendary John Williams, known for his iconic collaborations with Spielberg. Williams’ music enhances the movie’s suspenseful moments and injects emotion into the heartfelt scenes, creating an unforgettable cinematic experience. Frank Abagnale Jr. appears in a cameo role as a French police officer in the film. I think this adds an intriguing layer of authenticity to the movie, as the audience gets a glimpse of the real-life con artist. Keep up the good work.

😎👍 Check out the movie "Pennies From Heaven" (1981) if you want to see Christopher Walken like you've never seen him before. 😉 In the early 2000s, Steven Spielberg was really on a roll. Besides this, there was "A.I." (2001), "Minority Report" (2002), "The Terminal" (2004) and "War Of The Worlds" (2005). All well worth watching.

A mind-bending movie to check out down the line: 'INCEPTION'. Amazing film. Also with Leonardo DiCaprio!

[@jeffabugov5291]

Hi Dawn. Been enjoying your reactions for months now but this is my first time writing. If you enjoyed this movie, "Catch Me . . .", an absolutely fun solid "con movie", there are many more better. Create your own reaction sub-genre, darlin! (Con movies being a sub-genre of crime movies.) The best of the best, in my humble opinion, is "The Sting." After that, "Matchstick Men", "Paper Moon" and "The Grifters" (the latter of which is quite dark.) Alongside those would be, also amazing but absolutely comedy crazy funny "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." Start with The Sting and go from there :) Keep up the fun work 😃

[@lazyperfectionist1]

27:35 "Frank, your father's dead." Right. Shit. Forgot about that part.

[@JONSEY101]

Hey Dawn! Looking wonderful! While this is a good movie, the greatest lie that Frank ever told was, in fact, the story he told that was then made into this movie. By the way, it's not your fault that you thought this was a movie based on a true story, even Steven Spielberg, who directed it thought the same at the time, as did pretty much anyone who watched it. The movie has, since then, to be a hoax story in itself. It began when Frank was on a TV show. The idea of the game show was that there would be three people, each telling of some job the did and some remarkable things that would happen. Two of them would lie while one of them would be telling the truth. The contestants then had to guess who the truth teller was. Of course, Frank's story was the one that was made into this movie. So, in reality, all three people on the show had lied. Because of that show, though, Frank would be interviewed by a great many people, often famous ones, and he, of course, became a hit! The attention and money he got meant that he couldn't reveal the lie as that fane and money would all end. As mentioned, since then, it has been proven that it was all mostly a lie. Still, it did make for an interesting movie even though the story itself was the hoax! A great reaction as always! Have a Really wonderful day, take care! ❤

[@misterno-ice-guy8082]

A real life game of tag?! Never been, but I have seen Monty Python's olympic hide and seek

[@Anaj-us4eo]

There is a true movie about childhood friends playing tag into their 40’s -50’s I forget the title.. something like ‘ your it’….. Anyway it has Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, John Hamm, it’s a fun watch as well…

[@StarkRG]

1:51 "No way it's a true story." So, there's multiple layers to this. The movie made a handful of small alterations from the book. The real Abagnale claims the biographer made up significant portions of the book. Pretty much everything we know Abagnale has claimed has questionable veracity (no record of passing the bar exam) and some have even been shown to be impossible or clear fabrications (such as claiming to have been in prison when records clearly show he wasn't). In short, it's a movie that takes liberties with a half-invented biography based on an interview full of lies. It's a really fun movie, though.

[@iUseVegas]

[@lazyperfectionist1]

30:09 "'Check?' Why is it just spelled like that? Is it not spelled 'C H E Q U E?' With a 'Q' and not a 'CK?'" Not in the US, Dawn. I believe they spell it like that in Canada, though.

[@TampaCEO]

14:30 - First $1,000 in 1960 is like $10,000 in todays money. Second, he gave her a FAKE CHECK, so basically, she paid him $400 (about $4,000 in todays money). Im surprised you didn't catch on to that.

[@davestang5454]

He learned how to behave like a doctor and a lawyer from watching TV shows like "Marcus Welby, MD" and "Perry Mason". "Ballsy" doesn't even begin to describe the nerve of this guy. The real Frank Abignail also chose less high-profile jobs and that would have made more sense to most people in the con game. The REAL important theme of the story is the strange bond between Hanraddy and Abignail. The fact that Hanraddy ultimately had the power to destroy Abignail and chose a very different track was a huge twist to end the story.

[@mikelundquist4596]

I was production manager at an event that Frank Abignail spoke at, before this movie came out. He had everybody fooled. The movie studio, police, Johnny Carson, me... everybody believed his story.

[@SeanHendy]

👏👏👏👏 Yep, all of it is completely made up. To mention just one, he couldn't have been an on call overnight paediatrician at the time he claims because the hospital concerned didn't even have such a position, nor was there a midnight to 8am shift. Further, that at the time he says he was at Cobb Hospital, he was in prison in New York.

[@ronaldmaclean4369]

I heard an interview with him which was aired on BBC radio 4 about 30yrs ago. If I remember rightly he did impersonate being a lawyer, a university professor, a pilot not sure about a physician? He was caught fraudulently cashing cheques but when the relevant agencies realised that he had a very high IQ, they thought it would be better to use him as a employee rather than have him rot away in jail. Having said that...he could have been lying to the person conducting the interview I listened to?

[@granadosvm]

18:03 I know the story is fictional, but I find very interesting how the mom gives away all the information about his son without a warrant, while the father is very protective. The way I heard it, Frank Abignale is a real con artist who helped banks to design security features to prevent people like him from using the same methods, (now everything seems to be electronic), but the rest of the story is on itself, a con created by Frank to sell books, which peeked interest of Spielberg, who bought the rights to the movie, making his con even more profitable.

[@davestang5454]

The rest of story really isn't all a con by Abignail, only some of it. The spirit of the narrative is true but the facts and details are not. The main points in the story are all still correct.

@@DawnMarieX I owned the security company that secured the film location. They actually built an entire airport terminal in an enormous Palmdale, CA hanger where they (Skunkworks) developed our top secret aircraft. It had marble floors, escalators, shops, restaurants and hundreds of extras and you would swear you were in a real airport. Steven Spielberg was afraid that pictures of it would leak before the movie came out so we had to wand everyone going in and make sure they left their phones in their cars. No pictures were leaked. Tom Hanks is a really nice man. At the beginning of the work week he had his assistant give each of my security officers a lottery ticket. I told Tom that I could lose my entire team if they pooled and someone won I then asked Tom what size uniform he wears in case that happened. We did a great job on a lot of films but that one was our best.
