POWER OF INFLUENCE UNDERRATED |
|
With Steven Spielberg directing and producing, coupled with heavy hitters like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks...you can take this movie to the bank, baby! True enough, from a 'lowly' budget of $52 million, gleaning a gross revenue of $352 million ain't that bad . Not at all. I'll do it any day of the week. What really is refreshing though is how Spielberg finally takes a break and floats lightly with this production...sweet and easy for a change...This guy can print money even while he sleeps! The charm of the young DICAPRIO was etched perfectly to portray the biggest check defrauder of all time: FRANK ABAGNALE JR. A true lesson on the underrated value of INFLUENCE. Frank's life was carved to impress his dad. He was commended for his criminal and mischievous deeds since childhood.... |

I am glad Steven Spielberg directed this fiilm. Despite playing a small role, you can see Amy Adams talent. She is one of my favorite actresses. This is a very complex story but somehow Spielberg makes it feel cool, funny, and exciting. The part where Frank Sr. laughs at Frank Jr. when he leaves the principals office is one of my favorite scenes. Your heart really goes out to the Abagnale family because of divorce and the runaway. You also feel for Carl Hanratty because he can't catch Frank Jr.. I find myself cheering for both Frank Jr. and Carl. This is a great movie. One of my favorites of all time. |

Catch Me If You Can |

A smart comedy with a dramatic core. It's only right that Spielberg directed this film because it could've been a mess in somebody else's hands. Now that I've almost watched all of Leonardo DiCaprio's films, I'm more convinced that he deserves to win a Best Actor Oscar. He's not just a typical actor who happens to have modelesque looks. He knows how to get into a character and do it well. This movie is very amusing because it actually happened in real life (or rather, it's inspired by true events). It's funny how Leonardo DiCaprio's character started from a kid to a well-known, highly creative yet lovable criminal. My favourite scene has got to be the bit where he walks into an airport swarming with FBI agents while being surrounded by stewardesses. For me, that sums up the film because p... |
