Movies inspired by real events are, in my opinion, some of the best movies that ever get made. And not precisely because of how good they may be but because... when someone makes a movie out of something that did actually happened... then you know that it was really something. Something beyond and a lot better the usual days of our lives, the usual people we meet, the usual experiences we always have... when something real is put on the screen then, as far as I’m concerned, fiction takes second place.
I
was totally fascinated with this, not only because it is truly a great movie that was just really well done and has great performances in it... but because it’s
so amazing to convince yourself that it did really happen, that there was this Frank Abagnale Jnr guy who
conned millions of dollars with check forgery, imposed as a pilot, a doctor and
a lawyer... and all of it before he was 19 years old. I mean... maybe I’m just
easily fascinated but I found that mind-blowing, you ever met any young guy who
could have done all of that? Criminal or not you gotta give the guy some credit!
What I loved most about the movie is how it gives you a glimpse of his personal world, his history... so that maybe where it all began, how it all came about, can be better understood.
Tom Hanks is an AMAZING actor, he’s one of those few gifted actors out there who can really just do any kind of role, and play it so well you totally forget it’s him doing it. And Leo... well (man he’s so sexy...), I do think he’s great too; of course I love him for my own personal perverted reasons... but besides that! :P seriously, I think he always does a great job.
Watch
it? Sure! I’d recommend it ;)

That’s been flying over my street for over f**king half an hour... just round and round in circles... pointlessly... it’s SO f**king noisy... and I don't know why the hell it just doesn't go away... ARGH. I swear to God I don’t know what the hell it’s doing, at first I thought it'd be the police looking for someone or something but I doubt it now, it just seems like someone decided to go for a helicopter right tonight and the hell with how much the noise will bother everyone else!... we have never had that before and I’m beyond pissed off right now. I’m trying to do some work! I have an assessment to work on and that stupid NOISE is not really helping! ARGH...
I was REALLY looking forwards to watching this movie, being an Anne Hathaway fan and having SO much admiration for Jane Austen I just had to watch it. Unfortunately though... well I wasn’t totally disappointed but it just wasn’t what I expected. I’m not sure where to put the blame though... see you may disagree with me but I think Anne is a pretty good actress! (OK maybe not the best but she’s not bad), and I was really excited to see her in this role but... I don’t know, I’m still unsure of what it was exactly but every time I saw her on the screen... I’d see Anne... NOT Jane... at all, not once did she make an appearance. However I’m still reluctant on putting the blame on her acting skills, I knew there had to be more to it which is why I did some research :P (and btw that means looking at the ‘extra features’ on the DVD ;) ). It was the director’s intention to portray Jane Austen in a different way, not as the great figure of literature that she is now, but as a simple girl... something she probably was one day. And although I can see the appeal of that idea it wasn’t what I wanted, it seemed too odd to me... I guess because it’s just almost impossible to ever even conceive that your heroes could ever be normal... even less simple. Nonetheless what I did absolutely ADORED about the movie were certain quotes that I will now proceed to share :P well that and James McAvoy (who would have thought he could be sexy... cos he’s so not my type but there’s just something about him... Mmmm... ;) ).

“Badly.”
“And then?”
“It gets worse.”

“Of what do you wish to write?”
“Of the heart.”
“Do you know it?”
“Not all of it.”
“In time you will. But even if that fails, that’s what the imagination is for.”
-Jane Austen and Mrs. Radcliffe
“Flirting is a woman’s trade, one must keep it in practice.”
-Eliza De Feuillide
“Nothing destroys spirit like poverty.”
-Mr. Austen
"A novel must show how the world truly is, how characters genuinely think, how events actually occur. A novel should somehow reveal the true source of our actions."
-Jane Austen
“It is my considered opinion that irony is insult with an smiling face.”
“No...no, irony is the bringing together of contradictory truths, to make out of the contradiction a new truth with a laugh or a smile, and I confess that a truth must come with one or the other, or I account it as false and a denial of the very nature of humanity itself.”
-Judge Lonlois
and Jane Austen
