thoughts of mortality swirl through my mind

Rating: 7/10 (21 November 2003)

On the drive home from the movie I found myself thinking about my life and compared it to the life of Frank Abagnale Jr. This movie is based on a true story. Frank's story is very intriguing and exotic. It is about a man that in the late 1960's that makes a living through fraud. He writes bad checks, imitates professionals such as doctor, lawyer, and airline captain. He made millions of dollars living this way. At this rate it will take me two or three lifetimes to make the money he made. He lived like a god for about 4 years. It makes me want to just try to make one big score. This movie is an inspiration to me to do `wrong' for profit. If only I could have one chance to make big money. I would go for it. Yeah right, I don't have the courage to do it. That is why movies exist. It is escapism for the average man, ME! 7/10
