The film I chose to write my analysis about is “Catch Me If You Can”. I chose this film because its based on a true story and it amazes me how this individual got away with a lot of things. How his professional clothing and communication with others influenced in whom he became and what he did to accomplish his goals. This film illustrates how identity isolates him from significant others such as his fiancée.

I know many people are judged by what they wear in most situations. It surprises me how well he communicated with others and the things he did to get to where he wanted, how people, who didn’t even know him help him out, they wanted to give him everything. The main actor in this film, which was Frank Abagnale Jr. I believe had an amazing nonverbal communication with others. His movements, gestures, appearance and facial expression played a major role in this film. Impersonating a Pam Am co-pilot, teacher, a physician, and a lawyer, he is able to pass hundreds of fake checks only partly because the clothes make the man, more because he posses enough charm to acquire information, flights around the world and whatever he wanted.

As it talks about in our textbook in chapter 6, nonverbal communication in clothing. Clothing is a means of communication nonverbally. It is suggested that clothing conveys over ten types of messages to others. In our textbook it explains that communicators that wear special clothing often gain persuasiveness. For example uniforms, as Frank Abagnale Jr. wore in the film, he convinced people he was a lawyer, pilot, doctor and other professions. He wore the professional uniform in which provided the atmosphere that allowed Frank to get away with stealing millions through a flurry of fake checks that even the experts could not see through.

In this film Frank Abagnale learns to escape his family’s financial and interpersonal woes
