What a Modern "Catch Me If You Can" Might Look Like
by Lewis Robinson
In the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can, Frank Abagnale Jr. makes his living through a series of cons, forgeries and fortunate situations as he pretends to be a pilot for Pan Am, a doctor in Georgia, and a prosecutor in Louisiana. It takes a long time before his crimes even appear on the radar, after which he is pursued by FBI agent Carl Hanratty. Though this movie is based on a true story, the true story itself is a bit questionable. If one were to modernize the film, it would be even more questionable without making some serious changes. Consider what a modern Catch Me If You Can might look like.
Modernizing the Cons
Abagnale started his cons in the 1960s, and there were a lot of different things that he tried, but pretending to be a Pan Am pilot was one of the first incredibly successful ones when it came to making the big bucks. However, there are a lot more screening procedures, and though it might be marginally possible to pretend to be a pilot, it is not likely. One of the most successful modern cons that could be used in the remake would be the spoofing attack. Such attacks are when people pretend to be someone such as a trusted contact or reputable brand to get their victims to give out their personal information. Most of these attacks occur over email, but some of them still occur over the phone, as it is relatively easy to call from a number that is similar to a number in the victim's region. However, if someone wants to initiate an attack via an email, they will need to have fake email accounts and ways to make sure that their attacks do not trace back to them. With many companies using MDR this would be difficult in the modern world.
The FBI Gets an Upgrade
As con artists evolve, so must the government agents that track them down. While Hanratty was a good FBI agent for his time, Abagnale was able to fool him time and again, even pulling off pretending to be a secret service agent for a while. At the time, Abagnale and Hanratty were evenly matched, and though Abagnale was a genius con artist and later became known as one of the world's leading experts on forgeries, Hanratty was the man that caught Abagnale and even tracked him when he tried to sneak out on another con.
Since con artists have had to up their game since Abagnale's time, government agencies such as the FBI have had to evolve with them. The white-collar crimes unit has put out all sorts of warnings against common types of modern scams, and they have a lot of resources and hotlines for people to call in the event that they have been scammed.
Harder to Cover the Tracks
If a modern Catch Me If You Can were to be made, it would be harder to cover one's tracks. When Abagnale forged the checks for Pan Am, he was able to do it by carefully transferring stickers from toy airplanes and placing them on the checks, as well as making sure the fonts matched the other payroll checks. He paid intense attention to detail, which is why he was able to copy the checks. However, being detail-oriented and charismatic only gets someone so far. Also, the details get harder and harder to replicate, and it is easier than ever to track someone who commits fraud. Checks and bills have too many security measures now to be replicated successfully without a lot of specialized equipment, making it not really worth the trouble that one would have to go through to have a prayer of pulling off a forgery.
Catch Me If You Can depicted a genius who found his element early in life and continued to do so even after he had been caught and was serving jail time. However, if the film were to be redone through the modern lens, the new Abagnale would need to be even better, more resourceful and more fortunate than the original.
The 2009 film Confessions of a Shopaholic brings the real-life horror of addiction to light as Rebecca tries to hide from debt collectors while also trying to give people advice on saving money. As romantic comedies are wont to do, she has a few bumbling moments before everything works out and she finds love at the end. However, there are quite a few lessons to be learned from this movie, and they are all very important.
You Will Have a Hard Time If You Try to Be Someone You Are Not
Like Rebecca, there are many people who want something more out of life, and will try padding their resumes to get there without having to do the work. However, if you look closely, Rebecca not only tried to fake her way through the interview, but she also ended up hanging on by a thread when she was at the height of her frenzy with the debt collection issue. She was successful in writing a personal finance column, but only because she was having trouble with it herself, and because she was doing research on the fly. Luke, her boss, called her out for taking her first assignment straight out of a self-help book, only to catch her googling good angles for the topic not a moment later. Although Rebecca started out being incredibly successful, she did ultimately lose her job because she was not qualified and was in a moral quandary.
Luke, on the other hand, has had to earn his place using his own merit. He did not get hired to improve the magazine's NPS, or Net Promoter Score, because he was the son of a famous socialite. He knew what he was doing, and that earned him his place as Rebecca's boss.
Change Can Be Just the Thing You Need
When Luke starts to see Rebecca's potential, he turns to focusing on the writers having a voice instead of improving sales, as Rebecca's column is already doing that. He could have worked for any company when it came to improving sales, whether the company sold insurance or a countertop filtration system, but he ended up at a magazine where he had the chance to nurture Rebecca's talent for appealing to the people. Because of his faith, Rebecca was among the movers and shakers in no time, her time in the spotlight escalating her to international recognition. Since he decided to focus on something that was not in his original job description, it led to him being able to start his own company, all because he developed a vision and was willing to see it through.
Rebecca was very hesitant to start accepting change, and as an addict, she did not admit that she had a problem right away. She compressed everything down to fit in her wardrobe so her roommate thought she had decluttered. She went to the meetings for shopaholics, but she was still too focused on the rush she got from making a purchase. It was not until she decided to make the change for herself that her issues got resolved and things started turning around for her.
Sometimes Your Dream Brings Disappointment
There was an instance where Rebecca was offered a job at the fashion magazine she had always dreamed of working at. However, she found out that she would have to lie in her articles, so she did not take the job. Sometimes your dream is not as magical in real life, and comes with serious ethical or moral issues. Do not be afraid to chase a different dream if this ends up being the case.
While Confessions of a Shopaholic is not wholly realistic, it teaches a lot of lessons about addiction and finding one's own way. This movie is highly recommended to anyone who is struggling with addiction or anyone who needs to realize that the way to your dream is not always the way you think.
Sometimes it can feel like the only way to stay fit is to join a gym. After all, that's where all the equipment and trainers are! But plenty of people do not like going to the gym to stay fit. Whether that's due to the environment, the price or the lack of fun, there are other ways to stay fit without having to set foot in a gym.
The easiest ways to stay fit involve activities that come with a bit of fun on the side to keep you motivated.
If you're in need of some inspiration, here are seven great ways to stay fit without the gym:
1. Airsoft
If you love playing tactical games, then airsoft is a great way to stay fit while having a ton of fun.

You'll need to purchase all the right airsoft kit, including a good quality airsoft rifle, airsoft clothing, and other protective gear, but once you're outfitted, you'll be ready to join the fun.
2. Hiking

You can travel alone or with a group and make a whole day out of it. Make sure to bring plenty of water, snacks and sunscreen so you can stay hydrated and avoid getting a sunburn.
You could even make a camping trip out of it and stay the night at a campsite near the trailhead.
3. Biking
Whether you like biking for leisure or competition, it's a great way to stay in shape.
Biking is low-impact, so it's easy on your joints, and it's also a great cardio workout. Plus, depending on where you live, biking can be a great way to explore your surroundings and find new places you would never have discovered otherwise.
You don't even have to buy a brand-new bike. You can rent a bike from your local bike shop or even check out marketplace sites for second-hand bikes.
4. Swimming
Swimming is another excellent cardio workout, and it's also a great way to cool off on a hot summer day. Whether you like to swim laps in a pool or relax in a natural body of water, swimming is a great way to stay fit without feeling like you're working out.
You don't have to limit yourself to swimming at a pool. You can also find plenty of lakes and rivers that have designated beaches and swimming areas.
5. Yoga
Yoga is becoming increasingly popular as people realise all the benefits it has to offer, both physically and mentally. While some forms of yoga can be quite challenging, many gentle options are perfect for beginners or those with injuries or chronic pain.
Yoga can help improve flexibility, increase strength and endurance, and calm the mind—all things that we could all use more of in our lives!
Follow classes online at home or find a studio near you. You can even practice yoga outdoors in nature for an extra dose of relaxation.
6. Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is another activity that offers both mental and physical benefits. It's great for building upper body strength as well as problem-solving skills, and it can also be very calming and meditative—especially when you reach the top of a climb!
If you're looking for an activity that will push you both mentally and physically, rock climbing is definitely worth checking out. You could join a climbing club or even rent a wall at your local rock climbing gym.
7. Dance
Whether you like salsa, hip hop, ballroom dancing, or something else entirely, dancing is a fantastic way to stay active without feeling like you're working out - because, let's face it, exercising can be pretty tedious sometimes!
Dancing is also incredibly good for your brain health; it can help improve coordination and balance, memory function, and even mental agility. So bust out those dancing shoes and have some fun!
