Catch me if you can: Good movie

I pick on Leo constantly only because I don't think he is as good as he thinks he is. Maybe I am jealous but i will admit that this movie is actually really good.

If you haven't seen it yet you really aught to watch it. It is very well done and the fact that it is loosely based on actual events makes it even better. Seriously: watch this one.

The movie was made in 2002 when Leo was much younger and a lot less full of himself. It follows the story of Frank Abagnale (true-ish story) and how he performed con-jobs including to pretend to be a pilot for Pan-Am as well as a doctor and a lawyer.

do you concur?

Frank (Leo) learns accidentally at a very young age that he has a great talent for lying because of various (somewhat traumatizing) things that happen to him as a youth. He ends up pulling off multiple con jobs based solely on what he sees around him and the opportunities that they make available for people that are "confident" enough to pull them off. This turns into some really interesting jobs that he is completely unqualified for and also a prolonged "career" in forgery.

The really great thing about all of this is that an awful lot of the story is admirable, and also very true.

This is a real person, most of these things actually really did happen. Frank managed to not kill anyone and in the end when he was caught he was offered a job by the US Government and helped them to catch other forgers (of documents) for many many years after his capture.

Overall i would say this movie is probably better for you than it is for me because I have a chip on my shoulder towards Leo that I can't fully explain.

Here is the trailer.

I thought the movie was great and if you know my stuff, you will realize that i tend to rate things with some real-life truth to them a bit higher than others. Even if Leo is in them. Oh, and most people don't know this but Tom Hanks is also in this movie.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It had everything - great actors, great music by John Williams, the amazing director Steven Spielberg. It wasn't boring for a second although being over 2 hours long. I simply didn't want it to end. I loved the main character Frank's attitude and his brilliant way of thinking. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it even better. I had to Google Frank Abagnale Jr. after watching this and the friendly face that smiled on the pictures wasn't really what I expected. Leo played his role very well. It's a must watch for everyone.

That film was Amaaazing 😍 when I watched the Titanic I was thinking that is the best of Mr.Leorando . But this film was so excited and realistic! I can't move or stop watching from the beginning to the end😆💖

Two of the most corrupt life actors who haven't been deceived by there own brotherhood. 🙈🙉🙊

Its a so informative and initiative content.i really proud of you sir

After Watching Catch me if you can, 😀 I went back and watched Both Inception and shutter Island.
It's really a nice movie.

is an incredibel movie the police drama is extremely attractive, I am struck by the fact that it is based on the life of Frank Abagnale Jr that at the age of 19 years I manage to get millions of dollars by posing as a pilot of an airline company, a total madness how he managed to falsify checks and sneak out in a fast way, I loved it from the beginning and also that Leonardo Di Caprio was an excellent actor

i still dont understand why i have not watched this movie yet
even though i have seen alot of praise about this movie ,may be i also have talent for lying

Hola @gooddream tenia tiempo sin saludarte, pero no olvido a una de la primeras personas que empece a seguir desde que llegue aquí a steemit. Las películas basada en hecho reales tienen una atracción natural que para mí es importante. Te dejo un gran saludo y bendiciones.
Buena vibra.
