"Catch Me if You Can" is a film that almost makes crime and deception look fun, though with a sobering look at its consequences too.
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks often work well together, so reviewing them as a pair at this point is almost redundant, but once again they make a great film, tracking the exploits and espionage of Frank Abagnale Jr.
Frank's ability for deception is established early on in the film and in his life, with him posing as a substitute teacher for his peers. The film is sure to emphasize, right away, actually, just how young Frank was when he started conning people.
A stressful divorce is most likely the main catalyst that drives Frank to seek escapes from himself and reality, hence the foray into conning. His many roles, forgeries, disguises, etc... I believe are a psychological escape from his true self, and a comment on the stresses that modern society places on us to find a career and make something of our selves.
The style and feel of the film is a clever mirror of modern society (or what we believe modern society is supposed to be) - fast-paced, modern styles/designs, energetic, and lots of people and cities. The music, shots, action, dialogue are snappy and energetic, moving along brusquely and intentionally, though always with a sense of mild confusion as to the urgency of all this.
Frank's exploits are mostly harmless and fun. He is clever, charming, and is able to talk to almost anyone, and is especially good with good-looking women (it is Leonardo DiCaprio after all...), however, his forging of checks makes things a little more dangerous, hence the snub-noses. Otherwise, he just wants some high-pressure fun away from responsibilities and commitment.
Again, this film seems to be mostly a comment on the pressures of modern society and the need we feel, constantly, to fill a roll, pick a career, contribute to society, keep up, etc.... stressful to say the least, and again, Frank's constant dodging, conning, and mercurial transformations into other roles and people's lives seems to be a serious attempt to escape his true self.
The film is a lot of fun, and Leo is as charming as ever, despite the constant headache he provides for the F. B. I.
Fun film!

Fun film!
One of the most effective animes I've seen for a number of reasons. Atmosphere, or more-so, the complete saturation of, being the foremost technique used in this series. The jazzy soundtrack sinks the viewer deeper into the ambiance of the characters' world. The high-tension action against these smooth and calm sounds adds to the impressive audio-visual dynamics here.
The most effective element in Bebop, like any good fiction, are well-developed and written characters. The protagonists here are bounty-hunters, a precarious and uncertain vocation to be sure. They are after perhaps the most dangerous villains in the galaxy, and their own motivations remain clouded as well, leaving one to wonder just who to trust here.
The high-intensity action against the dreamy and smooth jazz is the most obvious creative dynamic, with the interestingly written characters on their many adventures fleshing out the rest of the series.
So, the interesting characters, their complexity of moral guidance, and the amalgamation of action and calm are the chief elements of success this series has. Favorite.
