Catch Me If You Can is an American film depicting the life of a successful impersonator, Frank Abagnale Jr, in the history of the United States (Ebert 1). I saw the movie in the theater in March 2005 during the weekend. Jeff Nathanson wrote the film. It was first released in 2002. There was a strong box office appeal for Catch me if you can. Steven Spielberg directed the film. He is perceived by many to be the most influential and popular director in the cinema history. This is something that made the movie win so many rewards such as BAFTA Film Award.
The setting of the movie begins in the year 1964 to 1967. Frank successfully impersonated a pilot for Pan Airlines and flew for free over two million miles. Also, at Georgia hospital, he wore falsely the cup of a pediatrician the cup (Williams 10). At around the age of 19, Frank had gathered a lot of money that he banked in more than 26 foreign countries. Frank goes through a lot, this is one of the reason of his separation from parents as well as the financial stress of his father with the IRS (Williams 10).
The movie is a historical representation of an era where deception was highly regarded and praised by people. The director might have seen it important to show people the milestone made to the legal system in the wake of 21st-century Deception was seen as a successful thing and inspired the young generation. It was during the industrial revolution. Though the people made groundbreaking inventions, there was still no proper foundation to secure consumers against fraudulent activities.

The movie accurately depicts the history in the field of fraudulent, but it presents the wrong idea of how the deception should be treated. A true story inspired the movie although the characters in the story are not real. This is something that quite some individuals have gone through in life to make them succeed (Rehm 939). Personally, this is an idea that I don’t support at whichever cost because it infringes ones right of succession.
The movie present as with a new perspective of the historical times when law and order had not taken the best shape. Lawlessness was literary praised a thing that should not happen in the current society (Lynch 26). The director of the film has brought the characters in a manner that present his agenda. It is true that I feel sympathy for the people who fall victim to the deception during that historical incident.
To conclude, I can say that the movie didn’t leave anything out as far as the current state of fraudulence leadership is concerned. This is something that has made me love the film so much. This is based on observations of fraud especially deception without notice from the public thus showing public ignorance, that the movie depicted. Since the movie is an inspiration of a true story, I guess I would not have changed much so that the film does not deviate much from the real story. The movie helps me see the challenging side of the American Revolution.
