Chapter 670: Learn from others
Things are very interesting and slightly outrageous, but the wonderful thing is that there is always a relaxed atmosphere.
Here, the principal is telling the Abagnale couple the seriousness of the matter.
In the other room, Paula Abagnale couldn't believe her ears and turned her head to look outside the office——
Little Frank was sitting on the chair, chewing his nails, full of joy. He looked serious, as if this was the only important thing in the world.
Inadvertently, little Frank raised his gaze and happened to catch Paula's gaze, showing a cheerful smile.
However, Paula was expressionless.
Little Frank realized the tension in the atmosphere, quickly put away his smile, dodged his gaze, secretly raised his eyes, but immediately put them into his mother's eyes again, then quickly lowered his gaze, staring at the ground like a good baby. An ant has an innocent expression on its side face, which is not completely bowed.
This scene made the screening room burst into low laughter.
Melvin was a little surprised: This shouldn’t be a joke, right?
But for a moment, Melvin realized that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Although it was not a funny scene, who could resist Anson?
The Anson in front of me is completely different from "Princess Diaries" and "Spider-Man". He is a little naughty and childish, but also has a little sadness and sophistication of a young man. Despite the sudden changes in his family and despite the school With his life turned upside down, he silently experienced those stormy waves, but never showed any vulnerability, and just fought back in his own way.
In a trance, the images of Little Frank and Anson overlapped -
The audience has never seen Anson's private naughty side, this must be the first time.
In the office, the Abagnale couple were being reprimanded; outside the office, little Frank didn't know that he was in catastrophe.
After just a moment of obedience, a girl came to the Academic Affairs Office and happened to be standing next to little Frank, preparing to ask for leave.
"Miss Davenport, I have a request for leave. I can't attend fifth and sixth periods. I have a doctor's appointment."
At this time, the phone continued to ring. The Davenport girl signaled to wait a moment, she needed to answer the phone first.
It was during this short interval that little Frank could not calm down.
“Hey.”
"Hey!"
called twice, finally attracting the girl's attention.
Little Frank, "You should fold it up."
The girl didn't understand, "What?"
Little Frank glanced quickly at the principal's office, then glanced back He glanced at Miss Davenport, lowered his voice and said quickly, "This leave application form is fake, right? You should fold it."
The girl turned to look at little Frank, a little reserved, and showed a shy smile, "This is a leave note written by my mother. I have an appointment with the doctor."
Little Frank raised his eyebrows slightly, "Haha. But the paper has no creases."
"When your mother hands you the leave request, the first thing you do is fold it and put it in your pocket."
< br>"If this is true, then what about the crease?"
Little Frank raised his eyes and glanced at the girl. After speaking eloquently, he looked a little shy and reserved, and quickly lowered his head and looked away.
The girl was stunned for a moment, quietly looked around, turned her back to Miss Davenport, and folded the leave application in half and then in half again as if nothing had happened, and pressed the crease hard.
Then little Frank looked up again.
The boy and the girl exchanged glances and smiled in perfect understanding.
Crack.
The door to the principal's office opened, and Paula Abagnale came on stage while arranging her gloves. She paused briefly at the door and glared meaningfully at her son; only to find little Frank slumped in a chair lazily. , frowned, and gave little Frank a stern look.
"Frank."
Paula called.
Little Frank lowered his head, quickly sat up straight, and twisted his fingers slightly nervously, not daring to raise his head, but he could feel the sight of Old Frank following closely behind.
Little Frank timidly grabbed his schoolbag, hunched his shoulders and drooped his head, like a sad Abrado, secretly scanning his father's expression with the corner of his vision. Expressionless.
Little Frank was a little surprised. There was no anger, no seriousness, no indifference, but more calmness with no special expression. This made him look at his father twice.
As a result, accidentally, the sight and the sight collided.
Little Frank was stunned.
Frank Sr. laughed, and Frank Sr. laughed too.
Things don’t seem that bad.
pity.
This is only temporary.
Just when little Frank thought his life was slowly getting back on track, the cruelty of reality hit him like a sudden storm, leaving no breathing room at all.
Little Frank became uneasy -
He noticed that some men "came to visit his father without incident", they were all his father's friends; but his father was not at home at all, and his mother entertained him in the bedroom Guests, whose coats he could even see on the sofa in the living room, always looked at him meaningfully and gave him some gifts or pocket money.
He doesn't like it.
Things quickly slipped into the abyss.
The lawyer appeared, the grandmother whom he had never met appeared, the father sat silently in the corner, and the mother earnestly asked him to sign a document and fill in the name of his father or mother in an important position.
He didn't understand what was happening.
Until "divorce" appeared in the conversation, he was stunned. He turned to his father and asked for an explanation or a response, but his father's silence pushed him into the bottomless abyss.
At that moment, in those clear and deep blue eyes, one could clearly see the process of a world falling apart. She obviously didn’t want to cry, but the tears still slowly blurred her vision, but she couldn’t cry out, and she couldn’t detect the sadness and pain. There is only confusion and helplessness, falling from the sky.
Run.
Run all the way.
Use all your strength to escape from here, escape from life and reality.
Little Frank ran away, away from home, with no destination, anywhere but here.
The entire screening room fell silent, so silent that they couldn't help but hold their breath -
because they saw the collapse of a child's world in those eyes.
Moreover, because they did not expect the story to take a turn for the worse, a sudden storm destroyed little Frank's world and also took the story in another direction.
However.
Steven Spielberg once again showed his ability to control rhythm, and the camera turned.
1969, Paris, France.
Time returns to the present again, and Carl is responsible for escorting little Frank back to North America.
Little Frank tried to persuade Carl to change to a better room, but Carl said that there was nothing he could do due to limited funds. Little Frank lowered his eyes and felt lonely again.
"It doesn't matter, I've been in worse ones."
At this moment, the audience suddenly realized, by the way, how could they forget, this is a crime movie, adapted from a true story .
So, does this mean that-
The moment Frank Jr. ran away from home was the turning point for him to embark on a criminal path?
Involuntarily, Melvin couldn't help but think of the fake TV show at the beginning of the movie, the answer given by contestant No. 1:
Dollars and cents, that's where everything begins.
