Hello everyone!
Last day for me into this interesting challenge. I didn't even realize that a whole week passed...
Anyway, Day 7 of the #favouritethisandthat challenge as I already said and we'll talk about my favorite movie character.
At this point I want to mention that I am a movie freak,which means hat while I never watch TV, I can watch an entire season of a well written series in just a day. Which brings me to a very big dilemma as I have watched hundreds of movies and series.
But there is a specific character that I almost feel attached with. And this is Frank Abagnale played by Leonardo Di Caprio. This is a MUST see movie for those of you who haven't so far and it is known as Catch me if you Can
The truth is I have a tendency with movies that are based on real life facts but this character....oh boy....he is just great!
The whole movie is just crazy and how wouldn't it be? It is a S.Spielberg movie we are talking about!
It is all about a man, Frank who starts having illegal activities by pretending to either be a doctor, or a pilot ...just name it. Frank could do it. And on the other hand we have a police officer who had become obsessed in arresting him. But Frank kept getting away with it. Constantly. This man hunt lasted years...
Some facts
One of Steven Spielberg's funniest, breeziest movies is the one about a teenage con artist who pretends to be a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer. What fun! OK, he also steals more than $2 million—but at least nobody gets hurt. Catch Me If You Can was Spielberg's first (and so far only) collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio, his fourth with Tom Hanks, and the first time those two mega-stars worked together. The result? A hit with critics and audiences alike, with a 96 percent Rotten Tomatoes score and a worldwide box office haul of $352 million. Put on your fake Pan Am uniform and dive into the behind-the-scenes story of the film, which made its debut 15 years ago
LEONARDO DICAPRIO HAD 100 WARDROBE CHANGES.
Costume designer Mary Zophres said, at first glance, she thought dressing DiCaprio would be easy. Isn't Frank in his fake pilot's uniform for most of the movie? Turns out, no. His wardrobe changes more than 100 times, though that includes minor alterations like removing a jacket.
THEY SHOT IN MORE THAN 140 LOCATIONS IN JUST 52 DAYS.
That's an average of almost three locations a day, many of them in and around Los Angeles, but quite a few in New York City and Montreal. And as anyone who's worked on a film set can tell you, even a move of a few blocks is a massive undertaking. Spielberg and his crew worked fast
DICAPRIO MET THE REAL FRANK—WHICH SPIELBERG DIDN'T THINK HE SHOULD DO.
DiCaprio told an interviewer that Spielberg "thought maybe it wouldn't be a good idea" for him to meet Frank Abagnale. But DiCaprio contacted him anyway, somewhat secretly, and spent a few days following him around with a tape recorder.
And to be honest Di Caprio is just fantasic at this role. Suits him actually. And after watching many films with Di Caprio as protagonist I would also suggest one more movie. The Wolf of Wall Street
which is also a film based on real life facts.
That's it fellas! Thank you
