Spielberg: Catch Me If You Can part 1
WHAT DOES THE PROTAGONIST WANT? Frank Abagnale, like John Anderton in Minority Report, has seen his family shattered. Anderton’s family is destroyed by a random child-abductor, but the forces at work on Frank’s family are more nebulous. It is "them," the various authorities and gatekeepers that keep the middle class in their place that seem intent on driving Frank’s family apart — specifically, government agencies, banks and big business. In short, "authority," all those people who, when you try to get a leg up in the world, say "No, you can’t." Frank, like Anderton, will spend the narrative of Catch Me If You Can trying to put his shattered family back together.
