Review #10: The Movie: Catch Me If You Can

I watched this movie because of the actors in it ,and because they are usually good actors ,so I thought I would give the movie a try. As I was watching the movie ,I was first focused on the actors and then I soon got pulled into the story and how good the story is. By the end of the movie, I was not thinking about the actors ,I was just thinking about the story because it is a good story. I also found out at the end of the movie that it was based on a true story. This movie is about a kid who leaves home and becomes lost and confused on the way. Although, he seemed like he was succeeding in life ,he was actually cheating it and getting things by cheating his way to them.

Everything he had in life was not because he earned it fairly ,it was because he cheated to get it. Because of this, his life unfolded and became bigger than he was able to handle. In this journey, from leaving home ,he ended up being charged for check fraud ,but also got a job working for the FBI and slowly got his life together without cheating. While working for the FBI, he helped with the check fraud department because he was a master at it because of all the things he was able to do with check fraud ,so he was able to tell if something was not right ,and instead of just being a prisoner ,he became beneficial to the FBI ,and gained a real life that was not cheated ,and his conscience was cleared.

I thought this movie was good overall, at first I was not sure about it because I had never heard about it ,but I gave it a chance and even though it was longer than I thought it would ,I enjoyed watching it because it is about loosing your way and finding your way back. It is about love, loss, truth and lies. This movie has meaning if you are looking for it ,and can maybe inspire anyone that it is not too late to turn things around no matter how bad they get. We can often find light through the storms even if it takes along time to happen ,or longer than expected. I think it is also about going a direction just to prove something to people but it does not make you happy or fulfilled. I think it is about being true to yourself and not doing things just because you think that is what you are suppose to do ,because that is when people loose their way and become lost and possibly in trouble.
