10 Unanswered Questions From Famous Movies That Are Still Killing Us

Is there anything as compelling or intriguing as the unknown? Almost out of instinctual curiosity, mysteries demand answers, no matter how big or small the question may be. If something is unknown, then generally the idea is to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible.

It's just not always that easy, however - even when it comes to something as simple as watching a movie. You might sit there wanting, even expecting full closure on a story you've become invested in over the last couple of hours of your life, but that's not necessarily the way it works.

Movies can leave unanswered questions dangling for any number of reasons, from trying to pique interest in a sequel, to allowing the viewer theirself to extrapolate meaning. It may even be that answers have been a long time coming, and though there may have been the intention to address them down the line, it's just not the hand those franchises were dealt.

In any case, there are currently no solid or certain answers to any of these 10 big movie questions...

Throughout the events of Catch Me If You Can, Leonardo DiCaprio's Frank Abagnale Jr. managed to live a life as a fraud in just about every aspect. He became an expert at forging documents and at playing the system, so much so that FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) simply couldn't keep up with him.

Of the scams that Frank pulled, one saw him pose as a pilot, another as a doctor, and the third as a lawyer. For that third one, he somehow actually managed to pass the bar exam in Louisiana, something that Hanratty wouldn't drop. He needed to know how Frank cheated.

Towards the end of the movie, Frank and Carl have evolved into colleagues and damn-near friends, but have a history of being dishonest with each other. Truth, or rather the absence of it, was a running theme throughout the story, and while Carl lied to Frank about his family and his daughter, Frank had obviously lied to Carl about a lot of things, too.

Was his story about passing the bar exam just another lie? After being asked multiple times, Frank told Carl that he didn't cheat, and that he simply studied for two weeks and passed the exam fair and square. When he was asked if that was the truth, Frank gave no answer.

Aside from the fact that studying for two weeks with absolutely no education on the subject would make it impossible to pass the bar, Frank proved himself to be an unreliable source of information, meaning this was almost certainly a lie.
