      The answer to that question is No!, he fabricated most of the events. There’s a documentary you can view on RUclips regarding the accuracy of his stories, having said that it’s a great film and his public speeches are very entertaining. One of my all time favourite films The Burbs.

    Despite being billed as a true story, there has lately been a LOT of suggestion that Abagnale exaggerated most of his stories and was more of a petty crook than he made out.

      I agree. In every movie! Jen, if you're reading this: are you a musician? Or just a music lover! I think this is one of John Williams' best scores. "Close Encounters" is still my favorite score of his......but the music is a plot point in that movie! So it's not really fair to compare it, but other than that, I think this is my favorite score from him that isn't Jaws or Star Wars. (I remember being 9, watching Superman and thinking......he's ripping off himself!😄 He's ripping off himself ripping off Mahler!🤣)

    The beginning credits animation is reminiscent of a lot of fifties and sixties heist movie credits animations. The music is also very in genre.
    As for Tom Hanks movies, "Philadelphia" (1993) it was pretty much his first real serious straight role. Without Philadelphia Tom Hanks might still be the comic actor he started out as.

One interesting anecdote in the book was when he was living in the posh house as a doctor, he had a doctor neighbor who would always chat him up about medical topics that Frank couldn't answer. So Frank started reading medical journal articles on obscure topics that he knew his neighbor wouldn't know about. It worked, and the neighbor started avoiding him altogether.

    The opening scene was combined with some footage of an actual game show, To Tell the Truth, from an episode that aired in 1977. The basic premise of the show was that there were three people all claiming to be the same person. A statement written by that person was read by the host, and a panel of four celebrities would question the contestants to try and figure out who the real one is. After the panel votes, the host says "Will the real (person's name) please stand up?".
    As for the actual Frank Abagnale, it's been called into question in more recent years as to whether he actually did some of the things he claimed to have done in his book.

    Such an underrated movie. It's essentially a coming of age film. Frank is a kid who idolizes his father and clings to the childish fantasy of his family reuniting. He lives in glamor and denial while constantly running away from reality. He falls for Brenda because of her childish innocence, but that dream is shattered. Hanratty, meanwhile, is an alternate father figure, unglamorous and uncharming but steadfast, honest, and holding Frank accountable. The ending is bittersweet; Frank is disillusioned but finally grows up. Christopher Walken is incredible in this and his character never fails to make me cry.

    Hey Jen, Just like Carl said at the end, "living the lie is so much better than living the truth." -------- So many of us face this truth on a daily basis, but we're not good at stealing. -------- So we watch TV, or IG about rich people, or go to fancy hotels or restaurants to get a taste of the billionaire life. -------- In the end all the really matter is love and family.

    Lots of great Tom Hanks films you could check out. Tom Hanks gives one of his best performances in Cast Away (2000) and Road to Perdition (2002). Another Hanks and Spielberg collaboration is The Post (2017) with Meryl Street. And pretty much every Spielberg film has utilized John Williams music. I would say some great Williams music is in Spielberg’s A.I. (2001), Oliver Stone’s JFK (1991), and two Tom Cruise films: War of the Worlds (2005) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989)

    Darling Jen, never disappear from RUclips! We need you ❤
    Wonderful reaction as always, this is such a fun breezy movie. Genius film-making as always from Spielberg.
    I adore your appreciation of film scores and share your love of the incredibly brilliant and beautiful John Williams. Two of my favourite scores of his which perhaps you might consider watching:-
    The Fury (1978) a rather gory horror espionage escapade from Brian De Palma
    Dracula (1979) a lush romantic version starring Frank Langella
    The Williams scores for both are stunning and both movies are, in my opinion, highly enjoyable 😊

    Martin Sheen (as the father in law to be) has many movies. E.g. with his son Charlie in Wall Street (Michael Douglas as the iconic Gordon Gekko) and as the lead in Apocalypse Now. Both worthy of review. Plus, along side Christopher Walken in The Dead Zone.

    Hey Jen, I hum this muci every once in a while as well. It's so infectious. The music and the opening grahpic is a nod to the works of Saul Bass who was the first to make graphic open movie titlesa and fim posters. I think he made them for many film noir flicks including many by Alfred Hitchcock, including Vertigo, North by North West, Anatomy of a Murder.

    I saw this at the theater when I was having serious stress troubles in life. I barely remember anything about it. I remember Elizabeth Banks flirting with DiCaprio, I remember the music montage with the guns in the hands going back and forth, and "You don't have anyone else to call", and not much else.

    Apollo 13, Charlie Wilsons War, Saving Mr. Banks, A beautiful Day in the Neighbor Hood, are all movies where Tom Hanks plays characters based on a true story. He has quite a lot of based on a true story movies.

    Hi Jen! Commenting on your question what to watch in Tomn Hanks movies. You must react to Road to Perdition. The story reolves around gangsters in the 1920s and 1940s. This movie is based off of a graphic novel and directed by Sam Mendes. In my opinion, it is Tom Hanks' most underated movie. Road to Perdition is also the last project of M. Paul Newman.
    Don't forget about Hanks' early work ; The Money Pit, The Burbs, Big

    Such a fun movie, the way Leo foils TM Hanks is hilarious. And yes, he did go on TO TELL THE TRUTH. GSN aired the episode right about the time the movie came out...side note, I always loved the music from the 1970's version of that show...so catchy

    The real Frank Abagnale used to live a couple miles from me when he lived in Tulsa (I think he lives in South Carolina now). His home was just your average middle-class looking home in a suburban neighborhood. Never got to meet the guy, unfortunately, though.

  • @johns3927

    Along with the book Frank wrote, I also suggest the book "The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth, While We Can" by Alan Logan. Basically, a lot of the story Frank wrote is complete fiction. Ironically, he is one of the biggest conmen, but for different reasons than presented in his story.

    One of my favourite Tom Hanks movies is The Terminal from 2004. He plays a foreigner flying into the US gets stopped at the airport through no fault of his own and the movie goes on from there. Would love to see you react to it as it gives a full mix of emotions both good and bad, is part drama, part romance and definitely part comedy. Overall a feel good Tom Hanks movie.

    Hi Jen. Loved this, thanks for choosing and reacting to it. I read the book long before the movie came out; it's very readable and funny. Go for it! For a different kind of John Williams score you might try The Accidental Tourist. Bittersweet, emotional, haunting. Great movie as well. Have a great night. :)
