Behind-the-scenes production is at large

Creation background

"At large" is based on real experiences, as Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays Frank Abagnale Jr. in the film, said: "Real life is sometimes a hundred times more exaggerated than fictional stories." This film is adapted from Arbanere's autobiography of the same name. In the book, he recorded the legendary experience of how he changed from a tramp to a civil aviation pilot, doctor, lawyer and university professor, and was defrauded of millions of dollars.

Producers Walter F. Parkes and Spielberg both believe that Albany's ability to conceal the truth in the 1960s is partly due to the specific background of The Age of Innocence. "I think the 1960 s was a naive era. At that time, the anti-mainstream culture had not yet formed. People think that clothing is a symbol of status, and uniforms mean corresponding status. Frank knows this very well, so he can get away with it for a long time, "Parks said.

About shooting

The shooting cycle of "At large" is only 56 days, and the crew has set more than 140 sets in Los Angeles, new york, Montreal and Quebec City. The shooting speed of the film also reflects the revolutionary characteristics of the 1960s.

Janusz kaminski, the director of this film, is Spielberg's long-term partner. He can quickly understand Spielberg's shooting intention, which plays an important role in ensuring the shooting progress.

In addition to the most spectacular TWA terminal at JFK Airport in new york, the crew also changed Ontario Airport in California into Miami International Airport. An abandoned prison in Montreal served as a French prison in Albanel; A block in Quebec City became the village of Montrichard in France. Because waldorf is located in the bustling downtown of new york, in order to shoot the scene in front of the hotel, the crew must block the traffic, fill the streets with all kinds of classic cars of 1960s style, and the pedestrians and signs on the streets should be consistent with the background of the times.

Jeannine Claudia Oppewall, the artistic director of the film, and Mary Zophres, the fashion designer, are ingenious in the use of colors. The background and colors of costumes in the film not only reflect the characteristics of the times, but also complement the fate of the protagonist.
