This lesson remains for future generations. My father, of Spanish Sephardic origin, helped me so much, encouraging me in every intellectual pursuit.

    Catch Me If You Can Viewing Guide Catch Me If You Can Directed by: Steven Spielberg Release date: December 2002 Running time: 141 mins Genre: Biographical crime film VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS (Pre-viewing questions) Read the recommendation before viewing the film • Read the Pre-viewing discussion questions. Carefully read through the Pre-viewing discussion questions in preparation for discussing what you already know about the topic, setting and genre of the film in class or online. • Discuss the Pre-viewing questions. After preparing your answers to the Pre-viewing questions, discuss them with your classmates in class or online. • Read the film synopsis. Reading the synopsis will help you understand the film’s narrative. Use the short glossary under the synopsis to help you with more difficult vocabulary. • Watch the film in English. Watching films in English is an excellent way to improve your English because films are an example of multimodal input – the simultaneous presentation of audio, images and text – which makes comprehension easier. • Use subtitles. Research findings strongly indicate that subtitles help students improve listening comprehension and learn more vocabulary. • Use subtitles in your first language at lower levels. When watching a film, a minimum level is necessary to deal with subtitles in English. Therefore, for lower levels (A1, A2 and B1) it is better to watch with subtitles in your first language and progress to subtitles in English when you have reached a higher level. • Use subtitles in English at higher levels. Students at higher levels (B1+, B2, C1 and C2) should watch films with subtitles in English.

    “Passing.” Review of Steven Spielberg, Catch Me If You Can (California: Dreamworks Pictures Movie, 2002)

    www.ucalgary.ca/hic/ · ISSN 1492-7810 2004 · Vol. 4, No. 1 “Passing.” Review of Steven Spielberg, Catch Me If You Can (California: Dreamworks Pictures movie, 2002). Reviewed by Maurice Yacowar, University of Calgary Though offered and (well) received as a holiday comic romp, Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can may be his most personal film since Schindler’s List (1993). There, as Spielberg has remarked, he for the first time reflected upon his Jewish identity. Consciously or not, Spielberg’s saga of conman Frank W. Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio) addresses the rest of his own career, when he hid his personal identity behind escapist entertainments — that is, when he “passed” undefined as Jewish. As in Woody Allen’s Zelig (1983), the Jew’s temptation to disappear behind a false identity broadens to any ethnic identity’s hunger for assimilation or Everyschnook’s fear of being different in a culture that worships the uniform (Pan Am and up). The only Jewish characters in the film are the absent Mrs. Roberta Glass, the French teacher, and her victimized substitute, whom Frank turns away. As Frank replaces the Jewish element, Jewishness is consigned to the implicit. For example, when people are eager to be duped, Frank responds “Even better,” a phrase more familiar as the Yiddish, “Noch besser.” His father’s Rotary Club story, which Frank recycles as a Lutheran grace, is a Jewish parable of survival. Two mice are stuck in a bucket of cream. One sinks and drowns, the other struggles until he turns the cream to butter and walks away.

  • Was Macht Eigentlich

    Was Macht Eigentlich

    PEOPLE WAS MACHT EIGENTLICH ... ... FRANK ABAGNALE? Der Meisterfälscher wurde bekannt durch die Verfilmung seiner Lebens- geschichte im Hollywood Blockbuster „Catch me if you can“ von Dina Spahi in und wieder kommt ein Film in die Kinos, Hdessen Hauptfigur so faszinierend ist, dass wir gerne wüssten, was nach dem Abspann aus ihr ge- worden ist. Das gilt auch für Steven Spielbergs Film Catch Me If You Can aus dem Jahr 2002 mit Leonardo DiCaprio als Frank Abagnale und Tom Hanks als der FBI-Agent, der ihn rund um den Globus jagte. Basierend auf einem Buch, das von Herrn Abagnale selbst geschrieben wurde, umreisst die Geschichte in groben Zügen fünf Jahre seines Lebens als einer der wohl besten Trickbetrüger der Welt, der sich erfolg- reich als Pilot, Arzt, Professor und sogar als stellver- tretender Generalstaatsanwalt für den Staat Louisiana ausgab. Die geborgten Identitäten waren allerdings nur die eine Seite der Medaille, denn dem damali- gen Teenager gelang es, Millionen von Banken und Institutionen zu betrügen, indem er Schecks fälschte und Sicherheitsmassnahmen überlistete, die für einen Mann wie ihn, der scheinbar für jedes Problem eine Lösung parat hat, nicht narrensicher genug waren. Aber das war damals, und „damals“ bezieht sich auf einen bemerkenswert kurzen Abschnitt seines Lebens vor fast 50 Jahren, als er im zarten Alter von 16 Jah- ren zu seinen Abenteuern aufbrach und versuchte, der Justiz zu entkommen, um schliesslich mit 21 von einem besonders hartnäckigen FBI-Agenten gefasst zu werden. Die Geschichte, die die meisten von uns „Ich habe den Film über Frank Abagnale nicht wegen seiner Taten gedreht, sondern aufgrund dessen, was er aus seinem Leben in den letzten 30 Jahren gemacht hat.“ Leonardo DiCaprio verkörpert Frank Abagnale in dem Hollywoodstreifen „Catch me if you can“ STEVEN SPIELBERG Leonardo DiCaprio portraits Frank Abagnale in the Hollywood movie “Catch me if you can“ 8 ON LOCATION PEOPLE IN PERSON A word with Frank Abagnale.
