Had the pleasure of working on this film. I was the middle guard in America when we take Leo to his cell and walk back talking (another couple scenes, one on the cutting floor). Leo and Hanks were a joy to work with and a pleasure to watch in their craft. The cherry on top was being directed (for the cutting room floor scene) by Spielberg. All that's left of that one is me letting Hanks and the other actor through the big cell door. We filmed in a working women's prison, though the section we were in was condemned for 24 hour living (due to earthquake damage), so we had the section to ourselves. So very happy you got to watch this one.
Christopher Walken pulled the performance of a century with this one. His characters sudden "removal" from the plot after he already had less and less scenes as the film goes on, still hits like a train.
In fairness to the movie they are very faithful to Frank Abagnale's autobiography, however Frank Abagnale's autobiography has proven to be a complete work of fiction. The greatest con he ever pulled was inventing his own life story. Still a great movie though.
@@LuckySmurf That's not much of a con to be honest, if a studio thinks a movie will make a profit they will make the movie. Pretty much every "based on a true story" film ever made is 90% madeup or exaggerated nonsense as it is.
@@troikas3353 One of the very few exceptions to this is another Tom Hanks movie, Apollo 13. Only minor things were "made up" for that movie. Might be the closest to reality of any "based on" movie made in Hollywood.
Flying in an airplane was a rare occasion & whole big thing in the past. Everyone would dress up for it, just as if it were night out to a nice restaurant or the theater. The pilots were seen as super stars, much like astronauts were in the early days of NASA. Con man, is short for confidence man.
Hats off to the casting director for finding these actresses before they were famous. Ellen Pompeo, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Adams and Jennifer Garner. I know Garner was starring in Alias at the time, but was not a household name.
Walken telling him "you can't stop" really sold the character for me. He _KNOWS_ if his son gets caught, he's never seeing the outside of a cell again. Only thing he can do is keep running. He doesn't tell him to do the right thing, he tells him to do what he needs to survive. Like a father realistically would.
I think the father also said not to “stop” because he was living vicariously through his son. His father got punished and lost everything he had, so he is taking pleasure through Frank tricking the system. Remember how gleeful he was, telling Frank he’s got them scared? And how proud he was of Frank after the substitute trick. I don’t think he wanted Frank to come back, based on his “What are you doing here”. That was fear of Frank going to prison. But he wanted Frank to keep pulling cons, to play the game.
I'm sure someone has probably said this to you by now, but in regards to airplanes / pilots / and flying..........Pilots were asked for their autographs back in the 60s and 50s because they were looked at as high society, upper class. Nowadays you have pilots flying regional jets for 28k per year. Also... when it comes to air travel itself, it was hugely new back then so if you were any part of an air crew, you were looked upon as royalty almost.
Terrific video, Angela. More classic movie reactions, please. I haven't watched _Catch Me If You Can_ in twenty years and you were the perfect person to rewatch this with. Your personality is so bright and so engaging, and curiosity boundless.
Great reaction to a great and fun movie. I remember first hearing of Frank William Abagnale when I was just a kid, seeing him on To Tell The Truth which is depicted at the beginning of the movie. My mind was blown to hear of what he did at such a young age. It was so great to see his adventure made into a movie years later.
Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first little mouse drowned. The second little mouse told everyone he fell in and churned it into butter, but really it was all bullshit and there wasn't even a bucket or another mouse.
"I don't know what happened to Pan Am" According to a web search: They were hit hard by the fuel shortages in the 70's, which forced them to sell off many of their international routes, right after they had just spent billions on new long-haul 747's, which unfortunately were not so great for domestic travel. The death knell came when terrorists detonated a bomb in a suitcase on Flight 103, killing everyone on board.
Deregulating the airline industry hurt them the most, financially. Poor management in regards to their fleet and the onset of Flight 103's demise were death knells, but hardly killed them. They had the monopoly on the safety precautions and procedures and licensing required to own and operate an airline. Deregulation of the industry meant anybody with enough money to purchase a plane and a pilot could legally file as an independent airline, and shortly after that travel companies cut into Pan Am's profits by cutting the luxury from the practice. Air travel was fancy because Pan Am made it fancy, but then air travel became cheap and suddenly...there wasn't a lot Pan Am could do that one couldn't get by just booking first class on a cheaper airline. They sold their name and logo to a railway and still kinda sorta operate some luxury freight and passenger cars on national rail lines. A massive company with a bright future undone by a change in the legalities of their industry they could not foresee. Love it or hate it, it just goes to show that being the first or being the biggest doesn't matter when other companies can just learn from your example and bide their time.
You ever notice in movies that their teeth are always perfect, even in movies where its like 1400s like who is your dentist lol my grandpa told me that and it has stuck with me forever
Glad to finally see a video where you're not bawling. lol If you haven't seen it already, I recommend watching the show "White Collar". The show picks up where this movie left off; except, it has to do with arts and antiquites... and it follows the cases that the 2 solve together. Very good show.
you feel happy for Frank bc hes a has a good heart. he was young and did bad things while running from what scared him. When he was given the direction to do something better, he did.
i think there was a gap of time that passed between carl catching frank in france and him getting out of the french prison that is long enough for his sister to be that old
For another great con artist movie, in the same vein. I recommend the Tony Curtis movie "The Great Imposter". Also based on a true story, and equally as much fun.
The movie presents Abagnale like a lovable scamp, thumbing his nose at the system, but his Wikipedia page presents him like a loser who can't stop lying and who got arrested a lot and who made up a lot of his stories. What a guy.
DIE HARD is a CHRISTMAS MOVIE ....here are the facts 1.Die Hard takes place the day before Christmas 2.The Building has Christmas DECOR 3.The Building has 2-3 Christmas trees 4.Office Christmas party 5.Christmas music being played all through the movie 6.End of the movie the heros come out of the building on Christmas morning and it snows
If you love this movie, I can recommend the show "White Collar". Its a bit like "catch me if you can" crossed with "oceans eleven" but a bit lower stakes. It's lots of fun..
If you love this movie check out the TV series WHITE COLLAR, caught con working off his jail sentence working with the FBI agent that caught him solving white collar crimes! Great crime solving show!
If you like this movie, your should check out the tv series White Collar. I loved that show. Similar premise - con man gets caught and works for the FBI.
It really is amazing nothing in this autobiography was real. He actually spent twenty years in and out of prison for passing bad checks. He did spend a few weeks traveling the east coast in a pilot uniform stalking a flight attenendent. There was no French prison, no FBI job.
Air travel back in the 50s and into the 60s was a much more glamorous affair. Pilots were celebrities; stewardesses (yes, sorry, it was the time) were beautiful; and passengers would get dressed up for the experience. I mean, we romanticize it to an extent today but it really was very different from the cattle car reality of today.
@22:28 After he was called the "James Bond of the Sky," he is being fitted for a suit in the next scene and his identity is Mr. Fleming. In case it was not pointed out here or on Patreon, Ian Fleming was the author of James Bond.
interesting little tidbit for all you little tidbit lovers out there: the "inspired by" credit exists thanks to director terry gilliam and his 1996 film "12 monkeys." the idea for that film came from the 1962 french film "La Jetée." the studio wanted to follow the hollywood tradition of using the credit "based upon." and there were also union rules to consider. but gilliam argued his film was only inspired by the other film. the 2 films were actually too different for his film to be considered "based upon" the other film. he fought for the right to use the "inspired by" credit and won in the end. how's that for an interesting little tidbit? btw, the short film "La Jetée," directed and written by chris marker, is a very unique film. it uses a series of stills to tell its story. there are no "moving" images in the film. thanks for the video.
It was fun watching this with you. Had seen this on cable a few years back and forgot how good this movie was. Love the background of the room you are in. Interesting items with the ships and posters. Thanks for sharing.
Did you read the book ? I did read the book and it turns out Frank' real story is all fake . Alan C Logan investigated Frank and Frank's real story is all nonsense .
In reference to the 'Do you concur?' - I believe most people (who grew up in the 80's) are referencing the movie, 'Spies Like Us' with Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase. Another scene before it has the 'Doctor - doctor' bit.
A movie you MIGHT think this was based off is The Great Imposter 1961 starring Tony Curtis. ALSO based on a real life person, and while both seemed to have similar jobs, however Ferdinand Waldo Demara was purportedly a very high IQ person with photographic memory. He also purportedly successfully impersonated a doctor, and purportedly came up with several new techniques for surgery. Purportedly a lot because lifes of a con-man are not really verifiable because most of it is con artistry
This movie was so not on my radar, either, when I first saw it - thanks for reacting - and you so laughed at all the sane places I did... top stuff! :)
It DEFINITELY DEPENDS on the type of test (and sometimes on luck too). And you can NEVER tell for sure, how you should "best study for a test" UNTIL you take "that type of test" at least once. But regarding the "depends on type of test": For example, cramming NEVER would have worked for the organic chemistry tests (not for the specific course I took). Neither would have "staying up too late" for those types of tests either. But on the OTHER hand, there was one biochemistry test that I stayed up until 5am for studying, then woke up at 7am (so, 2 hours of sleep), to take it at 8am... and got a 95% (although I don't think I "crammed" for it... just stayed up late "finishing" my studying). But UNLIKE that organic chemistry course, the biochemistry tests did NOT require critical thinking (just memorization). Probably the craziest cramming I'd ever done (out of necessity.... I was REALLY busy around that time)... was doing ALL of my initial learning and studying for a particular Abnormal Psychology test in THE two hours prior to the test.... between 7-9am that morning. The test was on five [reasonably-sized, NOT small!] chapters (good thing I was a VERY fast reader!) ... but no matter HOW fast one can read, there is still no time to do "actual" reading of five chapters in only two hours... so I settled for "speed-picking-bolded-vocabulary-terms-with-my-eyes" along with their major definitions / points. I got a 95%. I was really surprised though; I would NEVER recommend anyone ever do that "on purpose" if they have any other choice (I just didn't have a choice at the time!)
I love this movie! And it has such a great John Williams' soundtrack. The community orchestra I play with actually just recently performed a suite of the soundtrack a couple months ago.
1:10 Of course Die Hard is a Christmas movie, it's about a guy trying to get to his children for the holiday. It isn't his fault that the terrorists had other plans.
His BS book that inspired this movie reminds me of another: In the 70's a pair of guys had an idea for a book that could sell ( it did become a hit ) interviewing stewardesses to write about all their funny stories. But the women they interviewed didn't have funny stories, so they sat down and wrote fiction of wacky things happening on plane flights, and people assumed it was true. It was called "Coffee, Tea, Or Me?"
47:44 hiya love your videos and reaction. I have a huge suggestion if you like this idea of con man working for government. Show is named White Collar one of my favorite of all time. Hope you look into it
I think you’d have a lot of fun watching one of Amy Adams’ first movies; the late 90s dark comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous. It’s about a teen beauty pageant in a rural Minnesota town. Also has Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, Ellen Barkin, Allison Janney, Kirstie Alley, Brittany Murphy, and Adam goddamn West. The cast is weirdly stacked, like me. 🤪
This came out in the same month as "Gangs of New York" so DiCaprio was in two big movies at the same time. Those performances both helped shed the backlash to the post-"Titanic" teen idol hype. It had been five years since "Titanic" but he took a break after its success and chose projects carefully, first with "The Beach" in 2000.
Pan Am went Bankrupt in 91 It was one of the Airlines that built a reputation as High End/Luxury. When deregulation allowed for other airlines to become competition and provide cheaper travel, Pan Am folded as it tried to be competitive. Having been known for the elegance, cutting expenses also cut into their reputation after the Oil Crisis. It didn't help that it had a bombing a few years prior either.
In the fifties and through the 70s being a pilot was a pretty prestigious job. The "boomer" stewardesses were all young, pretty and on the same level as models, however they were very talented models. It was a career for girls that let them travel the world and hold a rare and glamorous position. I really enjoy the yarn, however I often wonder how real it is. Good reaction. Merry Christmas.
Airline pilots were thought very highly of back in the early days. Many were ex-military, war veterans, and flying was and still is a rather exclusive thing.
Whenever I see Amy Adams, she impresses me. But she gave an interview once and mentioned she worked as a Hooters girl. Now, that's the first thing I think of when I see her in a role.
In the 1950s and 60s there was an almost celebrity status granted to airline pilots. Keep in mind, many of the pilots actually were former WWII and Korean war pilots and sort of heros in their own right. And air travel was still relatively new and shiny. Air travel was glamorous. People actually got dressed up to fly like they were seeing a broadway show. So thats the era this story takes place. Frank found that grey area in the financial institutions and checking practices and did so in a time where doctors and pilots were thought very highly of. Kind of the perfect storm. Opportunity meets circumstance. Right man at the right time, etc...

LOL. Flying 6,000 miles an hour at 300 ft. would be VERY dangerous.
But it IS quite a rush.
well he`s probably never flown a plane in his life so his fiction has to sound exciting
Flying in an airplane was a rare occasion & whole big thing in the past. Everyone would dress up for it, just as if it were night out to a nice restaurant or the theater. The pilots were seen as super stars, much like astronauts were in the early days of NASA.
Con man, is short for confidence man.
Back in the day being a pilot was sorta like being a rock star.
Hats off to the casting director for finding these actresses before they were famous. Ellen Pompeo, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Adams and Jennifer Garner. I know Garner was starring in Alias at the time, but was not a household name.
The stargazing around piloting back then was during the early Panam years, pilots were like superheroes.
Catch me if You Can was also turned into a Broadway musical.

The two things I associate with Pan Am are 1) the Beatles and 2) 2001: A Space Odyssey. You'd think with publicity like that they'd last forever.

This was such a fun movie. Enjoyed the reaction!
There's something great about Tom Hanks telling a knock knock joke. Even moreso with the punchline.
i think there was a gap of time that passed between carl catching frank in france and him getting out of the french prison that is long enough for his sister to be that old
Let’s go ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
Pilots in the 50s and 60s were seen as celebrities. Kids loved meeting them and getting wings, etc.
Pan Am was an international carrier. Shut out of the domestic msrket. The problems started with the 1970s oil crisis and soaring fuel cost.
For another great con artist movie, in the same vein. I recommend the Tony Curtis movie "The Great Imposter".
Also based on a true story, and equally as much fun.
Merry Christmas Angela!
You letting the knock knock joke go through uninterrupted was everything I’ve ever needed in life lol
The movie presents Abagnale like a lovable scamp, thumbing his nose at the system, but his Wikipedia page presents him like a loser who can't stop lying and who got arrested a lot and who made up a lot of his stories. What a guy.
This is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time.
I here just reinforce the recommendation to the show "White Collar"
DIE HARD is a CHRISTMAS MOVIE ....here are the facts

Thank you! I get that a lot and it never gets old!

It's lots of fun..
And Bomer is Gorgeous

There was a time that pilots were rockstars and stewardesses were pinups
Good times
It really is amazing nothing in this autobiography was real. He actually spent twenty years in and out of prison for passing bad checks. He did spend a few weeks traveling the east coast in a pilot uniform stalking a flight attenendent. There was no French prison, no FBI job.
It’s hilarious there’s people offended at this and stand up for him 😂

Very young Leo: he did some bit acting work on a couple of sitcoms as a kid.
The greatest con Frank Abagnale ever (truly) pulled was to get this movie made.
'Scuse, me, Angela? I'm sure you get this all the time, but you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen...
One of my all-time favorite films and one of the most underrated of the last 20 years

1:07 most correct opinion 👍🏼
I've crammed for exams before, literally days before taking it, and passed. Depends upon the type of test.
It DEFINITELY DEPENDS on the type of test (and sometimes on luck too). And you can NEVER tell for sure, how you should "best study for a test" UNTIL you take "that type of test" at least once. But regarding the "depends on type of test": For example, cramming NEVER would have worked for the organic chemistry tests (not for the specific course I took). Neither would have "staying up too late" for those types of tests either. But on the OTHER hand, there was one biochemistry test that I stayed up until 5am for studying, then woke up at 7am (so, 2 hours of sleep), to take it at 8am... and got a 95% (although I don't think I "crammed" for it... just stayed up late "finishing" my studying). But UNLIKE that organic chemistry course, the biochemistry tests did NOT require critical thinking (just memorization).
Probably the craziest cramming I'd ever done (out of necessity.... I was REALLY busy around that time)... was doing ALL of my initial learning and studying for a particular Abnormal Psychology test in THE two hours prior to the test.... between 7-9am that morning. The test was on five [reasonably-sized, NOT small!] chapters (good thing I was a VERY fast reader!) ... but no matter HOW fast one can read, there is still no time to do "actual" reading of five chapters in only two hours... so I settled for "speed-picking-bolded-vocabulary-terms-with-my-eyes" along with their major definitions / points. I got a 95%. I was really surprised though; I would NEVER recommend anyone ever do that "on purpose" if they have any other choice (I just didn't have a choice at the time!)
The real Frank never took the test , his entire fake story is out Alan C Logan has outed the real Frank Abagnale .
Airlines used to be glamorous, hence the autographs.
I love this movie! And it has such a great John Williams' soundtrack. The community orchestra I play with actually just recently performed a suite of the soundtrack a couple months ago.

Cool reaction and movie! Merry Christmas Angela!
Can you watch WALKENS first movie with CONNERY???
The Anderson Tapes
It’s been a while since you’ve reacted to something I’ve seen, so this is a real treat!
I hope you’ve been well!
I think you’d have a lot of fun watching one of Amy Adams’ first movies; the late 90s dark comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous. It’s about a teen beauty pageant in a rural Minnesota town. Also has Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, Ellen Barkin, Allison Janney, Kirstie Alley, Brittany Murphy, and Adam goddamn West. The cast is weirdly stacked, like me. 🤪
This came out in the same month as "Gangs of New York" so DiCaprio was in two big movies at the same time. Those performances both helped shed the backlash to the post-"Titanic" teen idol hype. It had been five years since "Titanic" but he took a break after its success and chose projects carefully, first with "The Beach" in 2000.
Pan Am went Bankrupt in 91
It was one of the Airlines that built a reputation as High End/Luxury.
When deregulation allowed for other airlines to become competition and provide cheaper travel, Pan Am folded as it tried to be competitive. Having been known for the elegance, cutting expenses also cut into their reputation after the Oil Crisis. It didn't help that it had a bombing a few years prior either.
He didn't go to Berkeley in the 60s.
Oh, I wish I could be there when you find out what Frank's biggest con of all time was. They even made a movie out of it! XD
Xander told me about it right after I finished watching the movie 😂 all I said was "not surprised" and laughed
Merry Christmas Angela! I hope everyone has a great day!
Whoa. Are you also going to watch other classics like the Sixth Sense and Shindlers List?
After seeing this reaction you might also like to watch (or react) to a tv show: White Collar
Also about a conman, thats works with the FBI.
On behalf of Leo... Your eyes are pretty 😍 😊
In the fifties and through the 70s being a pilot was a pretty prestigious job. The "boomer" stewardesses were all young, pretty and on the same level as models, however they were very talented models. It was a career for girls that let them travel the world and hold a rare and glamorous position. I really enjoy the yarn, however I often wonder how real it is. Good reaction. Merry Christmas.
How many times I quote the "knock knock" joke in my everyday life isn't healthy lol
Die Hard IS a Christmas movie! lol
Frank is 75 and still alive
Airline pilots were thought very highly of back in the early days. Many were ex-military, war veterans, and flying was and still is a rather exclusive thing.
I totally forgot that the knock knock joke was from this movie. I use that once in a while myself. lol
Same, it's certified gold.
Woow i wasn't aware at all that today i would be rewatching this cool movie with such a nice girl ❤
Die Hard is 100% a Christmas movie and I’m glad to hear you say so as well! Merry Christmas!
Bravo.
Whenever I see Amy Adams, she impresses me. But she gave an interview once and mentioned she worked as a Hooters girl. Now, that's the first thing I think of when I see her in a role.
In the 1950s and 60s there was an almost celebrity status granted to airline pilots. Keep in mind, many of the pilots actually were former WWII and Korean war pilots and sort of heros in their own right. And air travel was still relatively new and shiny. Air travel was glamorous. People actually got dressed up to fly like they were seeing a broadway show. So thats the era this story takes place. Frank found that grey area in the financial institutions and checking practices and did so in a time where doctors and pilots were thought very highly of. Kind of the perfect storm. Opportunity meets circumstance. Right man at the right time, etc...
He found gullible people would buy his book of lies.
would love to see your reaction to The Aviator another diCaprio flick
