A wonderful "Cat and Mouse Game", a genius teenager who longs for family happiness

in LifeStyle3 years ago

The film "Catch Me If You Can" may not be said to be Steven Spielberg's masterpiece. The black-and-white humanistic film "Schindler's List" in a distinct style, or "ET" is considered a science fiction classic. But this police film is much loved by many. The experience of the talented male protagonist is full of adventure and legends, but also full of sorrow and helplessness, and the perfect ending is a little hard to believe. In short, this is a very special film.

Since this is a game of cat and mouse, the main characters in the film are cat and mouse. FBI agent Carl, played by Tom Hanks, is a cat that will never give up without catching a mouse, and the genius young Frank who is good at forging a check played by a tiny plum who looks the top is his mouse. Inevitably, the acting skills of two people can fully support this film. However, in the film, actor Walken, father of actor Little Plum, Frank, is also very brilliant, even overshadowing the brilliance of the protagonist, and for this role he won an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.

At the beginning of the film, Old Frank tells a story that he is most proud of in his life.

“Two little mice fell into the butter bucket. The first mouse gave up quickly and drowned. The second mouse did not give up. He fought tooth and nail, and finally churned the butter into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, at this point, I am the second mouse. "

Then old Frank went broke and moved from mansion to apartment, and his wife divorced him. Even though he played, he still has a straight suit every time he plays, he is full of energy, his eyes are very sharp, he is full of confidence in the future, and he is always ready to come back. Old Frank's green eyes are especially charming. She knows everything about her son's deception. This is the first time that little Frank who is pretending to be a substitute teacher is found by the school. When he left the principal's office, the father and son smiled silently. Old Frank knew very well that this was just a little test for little Frank!

Then, old Frank, who had lost his glory, mentioned this story again to little Frank, once again emphasizing that he was the second mouse and would not give up. At this moment, there was a sharp difference between him and the time he was full of vigor, and there was a hint of sadness in his resolute eyes. Even though the mouse crawled out, he still couldn't escape the cat's chase. He's still fighting tooth and nail. The cub is a mouse facing the chase, but nothing can stop it. Once he stopped, he would be caught by the cat. This is the fate of the rat!

If you're just watching the scene being chased by the police and bandits, it's definitely not out of the ordinary, and the director's focus isn't on this. Some have said that the editing is a bit messy.

In fact, this is not a simple police drama, but a real-life biopic. But if you just follow the usual method of storytelling, it will be too monotonous, and it will weaken the analysis of human nature.

The director cleverly selected and changed the narrative nodes and flashbacks, which formed a strong conflict with the drama, and the character's appearance had more suspense.

On the one hand, little Frank succeeded repeatedly, destroying Carl and the others around him, and on the other hand, little Frank was caught and tortured by the French police first, then he was extradited by Carl, escaped again on the plane, and was arrested again in in front of her mother's door. This made people feel even more that Frank had a very smart IQ, was young and handsome, and had enormous wealth, but he was actually just a fragile kid, a kid longing for the warmth of his family.

She thought that as long as she could go forward, make lots of money, and let her father drive luxury cars again, she would win over her mother and her family would be reunited. She continues to have an affair, however, she hopes her parents can get back together, and she can once again see the scene of her father and mother hugging and dancing on the mansion's luxurious carpet.

When he finds a girl who is suitable enough to marry, he hopes to get married soon. In fact, she hopes that her mom and dad will show up at her wedding, and then let her mother see her dad wearing an expensive designer suit, and maybe she'll be able to get back to her heart.

This was clearly a very childish thought, He just thought that as long as everything was returned to its original state, the feelings of the parents would be able to return! No matter how high his IQ is and how brilliant his methods are, all his motivation for cheating is just the hope of having a complete and happy family.

Little Frank ended up feeling tired, and he was even more unsure of what to do, because the hope of making up for a once-happy home seemed less and less. You could say he was waiting to be caught by Karl, because there was no running direction. On the plane brought back to the United States by Karl, Frank Jr. heard that his father had died, and passed out in an instant, and his most important spiritual pillar fell. So he did not hesitate to take the risk of running away to meet his mother again. That is his only spiritual support. However, he saw that his mother was very happy after remarrying, and he had a beautiful daughter again, and he seemed to be someone else to her mother. The people of this world are useless people. His inner world collapses, and there was no longer any support for him to continue to cheat. She never ran again, so obediently she raised her hand behind her head, and asked Karl to catch her in an almost pleading tone. Fast. Step by step towards the police car.

In this chase and escape game, there is a subtle connection between Frank Jr. and Karl. Little Frank always called Karl at Christmas, and the most important Western holiday at Christmas is a time of reunion and family fun. But Frank Jr. instead phoned Karl. On the day of the last escape, it is Christmas. The beautiful house of my mother's house is covered with decorative lights. The room was also a festive atmosphere. The mother is casually reading the newspaper, and the little sister is playing alone, How warm is a harmonious family, but the man in the room is not the father, and this house is not his own. Who else could he be that mouse for?

Seeing this, you will be amazed by Frank's IQ, and you will feel sad that his simple wish will not come true at all. This strong emotional conflict is what makes biographical films that fall into stereotypes so beautiful!

Luckily, the ending was great, and it pushed the film to a climax too! Although young Frank was arrested and sentenced, he became an expert at identifying fraudulent checks due to his extraordinary counterfeiting abilities and dominance. Carl not only helped him get out of prison early, but only worked for the FBI until the end of his sentence, and he became his guardian. This is the most touching thing. Lonely little Frank gets new spiritual support!

Little Frank also invented a lot of anti-counterfeiting technology for checks, which are still in use today. She and Karl have always been good friends! A boy genius has finally found his best home!

Maybe we can live well in lies, but our hearts can never be at peace, we can only be rats hiding in hiding! Only by returning to our hearts can we truly find permanent peace!
