Character, Character traits, Character Virtues Index, Movie analysis, Catch Me If You CanAbstract
This study aims to analyse the movie “Catch Me If You Can” in the context of character traits. This research employed a qualitative approach, with data analyzed using document analysis methods. In analyzing the film content, the main character was examined based on the character traits listed in the Index of Character Virtues. According to the findings, the main character, Frank Abagnale, exhibits positive behaviors related to the traits of perseverance, wisdom, and optimism. Conversely, his behaviors concerning humility and forgiveness were observed to be negative. Additionally, in terms of kindness, closeness, peace, honesty, he demonstrated both positive and negative behaviors. This study suggests that family structure and familial relationships play a significant role in shaping Frank Abagnale's character traits. The movie "Catch Me If You Can" can be used as a course material in "Character and Value Education," and "Positive Psychology and Spirituality" courses.
