This is one of my favorite DiCaprio movies. Crazy that it's based on this real guy.
Same! It’s such a good film and his performance is both hilarious and vulnerable
Sorry, do the research , the real Frank's story is a total fake , he has been found out .
In real life, Frank's father was the first scam victim.
After his mother moved out following the divorce, Frank stayed with his father, and around that time, committed his very first scam. Using his father's credit cards, he began charging thousands of dollars - but when the first bill arrived, his father caught on.
After a brief stint at a school for wayward boys, Frank moved out on his own at just 16 years old. And unlike in the movie, Frank never saw his father again. He's said that while he was in prison, his father was in a freak slip-and-fall accident and died after falling down the steps of a New York subway station.
The opening credits are very much a homage to opening credits from the 1960's. Pilots were viewed as glamorous as this was when most Americans never flew at all. Oh and the stewardess who shows him the jump seat is Meredith Gray from Greys Anatomy.
Back in the day after WWII to the 70s, Pan American Airlines (Pan Am) was the primo international airline in the world. They were really the only true global airline. Everybody knew they were the best airline out there. Its status was beyond anything that exists today in aviation. Its pilots and stewardesses were seen as the cream of the crop in the airline industry and set the standard for style, grace, professionalism and received incredible travel perks. This was the age when airline travel was expensive and only the upper classes could afford to fly internationally. So yes, meeting a Pan Am pilot or stewardess was like meeting a celebrity.
Pretty amazing to think how times change and how much we can take for granted global airlines and the possibility to fly anywhere just from almost any near place to take a flight, and the standards of that time is pretty much expected on similar level anywhere.
While I think in our day and age and going forward, the grandiose image certain professions had or could have is a lot more transparent and grounded to reality (job uniforms in public is less common as well as being defined by it), and it's more about raw unfiltered entertainment that gets recognized, it makes you wonder if when the day comes for space travel as a more commercial and consumer availability, like visiting a tourist colony on the moon, that the people working there may be viewed in some similar way for whomever commercialize it first.
Now likely not the same way, but afterall, astronauts are still considered highly today, even if perhaps not so easily recognizable out in the world as someone with an airline uniform. It'll atleast be a similar step from airline transport but transport into space, until that too may become a thing people take for granted. Who knows what the future brings!
@@prinstyrio0 makes me think of the Pan Am stewardesses on the ship to the moon in 2001 A Space Odyssey
12:41 unidentified subject.
Thank you, Criminal Minds!
This movie is so good. Leo was so young can’t believe it’s been so long since this came out. Happy you’re reacting to this one.
It’s honestly a magical film, one of my favorite of Spielberg’s
@@nickreacts6394 I agree. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it I think I was 13 or 14 when it came out but it always stuck with me. It was great to watch it again with ya. 💜
The film ends with Abagnale working directly with the FBI, but this isn't exactly how things shook out. When the film was released, an FBI spokesperson (via NewsDay) acknowledged that Abagnale had given lectures at the Academy "from time to time," but denied other grandiose claims about the agency employing Abagnale.
On the surface it seems the biggest con from him was that he was a big time con man as portrayed in this movie. However one must take such denials with a rather large grain of salt.
Excuse me. But why did you give away the ending, of this movie? LOL! Seriously?
I worked on this film and had a great time. I was one of the prison guards who puts DiCaprio's character in the prison cell in America and "The Christmas Song" was playing in the background and also when Hank's character asks DiCaprio's character if he would work for the FBI.
Parks, the inspiration for Brenda, claims their relationship in the film is not only heavily exaggerated, but blithely mischaracterized. In reality, Parks was a stewardess who met Abagnale while he was posing as a pilot. Though they struck up a friendship, it was quickly derailed when he discovered her work schedule (through deceptive means) and followed her all over the Eastern Seabord.
Parks didn't know what to do with him. She tried to tell him that she wasn't interested, but he was persistent.
After essentially stalking her through work, Abagnale showed up at her apartment in New Orleans where she told him that she was leaving to go visit her parents in Baton Rouge. He decided to tag along. After he met her parents, the duo parted ways and that seemed to be the end of it ... until Abagnale returned.
He ended up staying with the family for quite a while. Having successful wined and dined Parks' parents, they came to trust him - even though Parks herself didn't. While he was staying in her family home and sleeping in her old bedroom, she was very reasonably mortified. Her parents were cooking meals for him and introducing him to people in Baton Rouge. Although he took them out to dinners as a thank you, it was later revealed that he was doing this with checks he was stealing from them.
Abagnale allegrdly stole about $1,200 from the Parks family, and even more from local businesses in Baton Rouge.
Frank was actually one of four children, growing up with two brothers and a sister.
On a similar note, Abagnale's mother never remarried and the Christmastime window scene where he discovers her with a new daughter never actually happened.
Ah so that was a little added fiction for a poignant moment of loneliness, thanks for letting me know!
this is true and motioned in his google talk!
@@RandyReviews1990 NOTHING Frank says has ever been verified. It's all a lie. No record of him or any of his alias's ever taking the bar or being employed by the AG. There was never that night shift or any record of him at the hospital. He never worked for the FBI. Him getting paid by Google for his "story" was just yet another con. It's a good, fun MOVIE, but ZERO percent of it is true outside of his name actually being Frank.
Frank was in jail serving time in the Great Meadow Correctional Institute in Comstock, New York, and wasn't paroled until 1967, which is well after the period he was allegedly posing as a pediatrician
I love this movie. I think this is Amy Adams first movie. I love this movie. Tom Hanks and Leonardo Dicarpio have great chemistry. I laugh every time Tom says “Hey!” Also this movie has Pink Panther vibes to it.
The score, especially during the intro credits, really pushes that Pink Panther feeling hard.
Hi Fi (High Fidelity) was the epitome of sound reproduction in the 1950s.
if you enjoyed Catch Me If You Can, i think you'd enjoy White Collar, though that is a whole series. Matt Bomer is extra charming in that one
The game show female panelist with the brunette hair was the real life panelist in the movie. Kitty carlisle 1910 - 2007 and the show was to tell the truth 1957-1968, 1969-1978, 1980-1981, 1990-1991, 2000 and she appeared on every version of the show.
Love the reaction. Thanks!
I’ve never understood how isolation doesn’t count as “cruel and unusual punishment”, considering what isolation does to the human psyche.
R B
Cruel and unusual? Depriving offenders of certain privileges and loss of good time are standard punishments for bad behavior. Individuals who commit serious violations of prison rules must have consequences and using short term isolation at worst boring, but not exactly torture. As for long term isolation, the effect on a persons psyche is unfortunate. But there are some people who are so violent that prison guard or other inmates aren't safe from them. Would u really suggest keeping them in general pop?
Cry me a river.
@@AliceAndWonderland2 People can go into solitary for anything from fighting with an inmate to getting caught with a pack of cigarettes. We have an amendment that specifically promises not to inflict cruel or unusual punishment on criminals. Solitary confinement is torture, by definition. Based on this, the US is ignoring that amendment in favor of implementing solitary confinement on criminals. You don’t have to take my word for it: look it up. Long term solitary can produce a range of severe mental health symptoms. Personally, I don’t really care to debate whether solitary confinement is beneficial in the prison system in any way. The point of my comment was that isolation IS cruel and unusual punishment. That’s it. You’re just arguing that you think it’s necessary.
Loved this movie growing up.. I saw it so many times as a kid. It was the first movie I saw with Leo and thought his performance was brilliant. It has a weird spy quality to it and such great character development plus that it is based on a true story. Great reaction!
Regarding the lawyer con:
The fifth floor of the building Frank claims to have worked in never housed his agency's offices.
For his part, Abagnale has always had a response to these claims - arguing that the people he scammed simply don't want to admit that they were fooled.
Yes, back in the day, pilots were highly respected. It was considered a glamorous job. I still think they're cool!
When you asked what an "unsub" is, I realized you should definitely react to Criminal Minds. Such an interesting crime drama!
This movie inspired the TV show White Collar, where FBI agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) enlists conman Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) to help him catch other conmen
I was wondering about that. Loved that show, White collar.
That was a fun one
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊 My birthday is Sunday!
I'll be 32 this year!
Happy early 32 my friend!! I wish you a great day and hope the next year is even better! (Also side note really cool you were born right before Halloween 🎃 👌)
What I love most about this movie is how good a job it shows that these things are like 98% social engineering. And he was a master at that. Controlling the situation. Understanding what people are looking for. He was excellent at knowing how to get the information he needed. Like posing as a school newspaper writer to get the airline info was genius. And best of all, most of the anti-counterfeiting things on our checks and money today, were created either by him or with his help and input. They guy has had an incredible life for sure.
"Romeo + Juliet" - DiCaprio was so young and very good in that movie.
Hi-fi isn't old time stereo, very good music systems are still called hi-fi (high fidelity) which means high quiality reproduction of sound, usually more expensive than cheaper stereo systems
Stretching ur cv is kind of a western thing, especially in the U.S, it is very unlikely to find much lies in a swedish CV, maybe a very small white lie to get the first job when u have no former experience
There is a TED-Talks with the real Frank, probably on youtube where he tells his real story
Leo Dicaprio has deserved an oscar for so many scenes and performances, then they finally gave him an oscar for fighting a bear, not really an acting achievement, just a very cool scene.. he should have had the oscar for so many other roles and performances
if you haven't seen Frank's google talk yall should its really good he more than meets the eye of course!
I have to check that out, thank you!
@@nickreacts6394 youre welcome Thor my man!
@@nickreacts6394 No. Don't. Google posted a quazi-retraction at the beginning of it. NOTHING Frank says has ever been verified. It's all a lie.

My family loves this movie so much. One of our favorite movie quotes of all time is "Why didn't I concur???"
Yup lmaooo “Why didn’t I concur”? Classic! 😂.
Good humor bar is ice cream. You never seen the good humor truck in the summer?
Frank Abagnale is from my Hometown in New Rochelle, New York! 👊😎. Great flick, underrated IMO. Good stuff man!
You should really watch the show White Collar. It's based on the story of Frank Abagnale. Really enjoyable.
Found out this isn't accurate at all. Frank lied about damn near the whole story. He's another version of Frank Duxx from Bloodsport
Abagnale's claims were made before fact-checking involved Google searches. But it also helps that when Abagnale began telling his story in the '70s, there wasn't much research digging into his claims. He began making these claims at small events and eventually found himself on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson." By that point, people assumed the questions had already been asked.
His claims were backed up by the f.b.i. agent.
CLASSIC movie in my book. a great go-to for all occasions and for everyone. I've seen it enough I can just put it in the background while cleaning or working but it's so good to just sit and actually watch and get wrapped up in too
O wow how did I miss this reaction! This is one of the best real life story adaptations Leo and Tom were both exceptional! And it’s intriguing to think of how this all basically occurred just so frank could find his real calling as a consultant for the government. ( even if he didn’t have much choice at first ) he also gained a friend for life. An Unlikely scenario coming to life. As you eloquently mentioned He made his own luck.
PanAm denied Abagnale's claim.
If you like this Michelle you absolutely love the sting with Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Robert shaw from 1973 wim 7 oscar awards
There is a RUclips video of the real Frank giving a speech about his life and the movie. It's worth checking out.

One of his best movies!
The teacher bit is allegedly based on when he did something similar at Brigham Young, but it's still debated on whether or not it's true.
Fake , you have to be a Mormon to teach at Brigham Young .
@@Jay-vr9ir Dude faked being a pilot, a doctor, a lawyer... you really think it's that hard to fake being a Mormon? (As a BYU alum... trust me, it's not. 80% of BYU students fake it every day)
@@mycroft16 Sorry to tell you Dude , he was in jail during his entire teens , in New Jersey .So Dude , his entire story is bull , so it is a lie about a lie .So no doctor, lawyer , pilot , or professor. But he did steal money and cameras from a children's camp , while he was a fake camp counsellor and he also stole money from the Parks family home.
I have not seen this in awhile . I did watch Shutter Island again recently. He is amazing in it.
I saw the thumbnail an actually went "Oh, what fun!" And almost did a little clap, and as a result I feel like an old lady 😅
Hi Thor would you please react to titanic? It's one of my favorite movies.
DiCaprio and Hanks have pretty good chemistry
7:50 I know it was 1216. One after Magna Carta, as if I could ever make such a mistake. Never!
Movies just for you! Transformers 2007, The Love Bug 1968, Angry Birds 2016, Pixels 2015, Walking with Dinosaurs The Movie 2013, Rampage 2018, Open Season 2006, Space Jam 1996, Looney Tunes Back in Action 2003, Monster Trucks 2017, Goosebumps 2015, The Spiderwick Chronicles 2008, Real Steel 2011 and Gnomeo and Juliet 2011!
James and Thor LOVE title cards XD
Very true
@@nickreacts6394 you guys are great and genuine I'm glad I found you both.
I wonder if you have ever heard of the movie Big Trouble in Little China. Great cult classic movie starring Kurt Russell. John Carpenter film =).
Seems like the story is more accurate to what this guy always told everyone but nothing is based on evidence, a German RUclipsr did once a video where she talked about his story, which crushed my admiration for this guy. Nontheless a great movie!
I started rewatching the highlights to see if I wanted to watch this again and I think I might watch the full commentary on patreon at some point. I remember really liking this film but I do remember it was quite long? I also didn't realise the airline Pan Am was showcased to this extent. One of my aunts was a Pan Am stewardess and I think it was a prestigious airline back then (I could be wrong). And yes, pilot's were more respected back then too. I had a relative who was one and it was met with a lot of "Oh, wows" at the dinner table. But that could just be my family lol. Pilots/ men in uniform also seemed a lot more suave and stylish. Think 'Top Gun.' So there was definitely an air of prestige. And can I just say...I know most people think of Titanic as Leo at his peak...but my goodness, Leo looks so handsome in this film. So classy! Anyway, I look forward to hearing your final thoughts on this once I get around to watching it on Patreon. I definitely see the Saul Goodman connection :)
I definitely recommend re-watching the full movie if you have the chance, it's really a good one! That's cool your aunt was a stewardess for Pan Am, and honestly the fact that there was more prestige with airlines in general back then sounds really neat, almost like how movie stars were looked at back in the day. Talk about the good old days, it makes me nostalgic for an era I don't even know haha. And yeah, Leo is like a handsome, classy Saul... and I just love how the whole act drops several times and you see a scared kid who just wants to see his family together and happy, even though that's gone forever...
@@nickreacts6394 Yeah, they did a tv show called ‘Pan Am’ which was one of Margot Robbie’s earlier roles I think. I only watched one ep but airlines were more glamorous for sure. I also have nostalgia for an era I don’t know haha. But when I’ve gone back to watch clips of the Oscars and Grammys from back then, it does feel more elegant and like it meant more. Anyway, I will definitely rewatch this film to see those shades of grey in Leo’s character. Con artists are kinda like serial killers in a way…Even if they show remorse, can you ever truly trust them? I tend to see the best in people but I do understand the apprehension for the viewers and real life victims of con artists too. It makes for a compelling story :)
If you like this movie your going to like the tv show White Collar. It's also about a conartist who gets taken out of prison to help the FBI agent who arrested him.
There was a TV series loosely inspired by the latter bit of this story (the working for the FBI after he got caught part) called White Collar. It was a fun show. Again loosely based.
13:38 Some people don't glorify money. On the contrary. Wealth can be a turn off to them. I believe Frank Sr to be one of those people. Let's face it, the majority of people with money aren't self made. Born into wealth, rare opportunists or cheaters. This movie is a hard case of the two latter
The tragedy of divorce 💔😭
Do the Titanic!!!!
I feel bad for frank he deserved a better family dynamic who knows maybe he wouldn’t have made all those unhealthy choices - that being said he paid for his mistakes and grew from them which is what matters most. An excellent redemption arch!
as good as leo is in this movie and yes he is excellent but i LOVE Tom hanks in the movie he was just awesome
Really fun movie! such an adventurous romp considering its all about fraud ><
Isolation because of his manipulative background. How long before he has the entire wing treating him as the warden
✌️❤️!...
You should go watch the original IT from 1990 Stephen King! It's a classic horror movie! 😱👹🕷️🤡
Unsub stands for unknown subject
From what I've heard, this movie (and the book it's based off of) are gravely false. Many of the events didn't happen or they didn't happen the way they were portrayed.
You should check out "American Made" with Tom Cruise. It's another "based on true story" movie where many of the events in the movie probably didn't happen
18:33 - 18:35 First time I hear the english pronunciation for that surname. So weird.
The movie is OK. However if you like the movie, you will LOVE the book
14:17 was be supposed to show the wrong side of the badge?
Unsub, unknown subject, and the line where Walken says The Rest of Us are suckers is an old school New York term, you’ll hear it in Bronx Tale a criminal will often have the mindset that working hourly jobs and paying bills is them being suckers to the grand lie that they’ll get everything they want by playing by the rules so Walken is saying he knows and gives his approval.
Good movie, but in real life Frank was just a scum bag.
Nearly all of the film if fiction, loosely based on Abagnales life.
frank is a great guy!
