In the movie Catch Me If You Can why does Frank rip the labels off of the bottles?
So I had to re-watch this movie because I had no idea he did this. But once I saw the scene, I realized this is a question that can only be answered with speculation! Lemme take a crack at it.I found this answer on the web:He does it so he will have things in his wallet. As he has no identity of his own and steals or creates others, filling his wallet with labels is fulfilling a subconscious desire to be normal and have an identity.While it does sound reasonable, I don’t think it’s as complex as this. I believe it’s just a habit he picked up as a child. His parents were well-off in the beginning, but their wealth declined considerably. I believe he collected labels because of his desire to be “rich”. What do rich people do? They wear name brand clothing and the like. And I believe this was his way of trying to cope with the fact that they aren’t rich anymore. We see him constantly escalating his status in the social ladder. The prestige becomes greater and greater.I think his motive was ultimately driven by his desire to gain money because he realized that money is the most powerful thing you can have. I also believe that he believed money can fix all problems, including that of his parents divorce. Perhaps that’s why he gave his dad an expensive car? Because he wanted to reassure him that he has money, and that there will be no more problems.

How is it possible that male ballet dancers don't have an erection while closely dancing beside their female partners?
I did have a boner once when I was like 12 in a dance studio long long time ago.I forgot why. I only remember that it was quite a moment that I prefer not to experience again.And yes, there are quite a few sexy ballerinas. But there's a lot less sexual atmosphere once you get use to it. When every girl in the room wears tights, for us, it not only becomes a norm, but also we will turn our attention into something like "hey, how can I impress everyone in the room?" instead of "OMG I cannot control my hormone."Besides, we have dance belts. dance belt - Google Search It's a thing that place your package in the right place so it will not "shake" on stage. It also can be viewed as a safety net for sudden erection, because it will make it less obvious, if you are concerned about that ;-)Last, joking aside, male ballet dancers go to dance because we really love ballet. We love to dance. I mentioned this because this is the ultimate force that outweighs everything on the side. People could not understand this because they've never gone on *stage* and dance.
What is Matthew McConaughey humming in The Wolf of Wall Street?
Before certain scenes in the film, and his other films, McConaughey does this to relax. After five takes of that particular scene, Scorsese was ready to move on, but Leo DiCaprio asked McConaughey about his chest thumping. Leo suggested they do another take to include that and it was eventually included in the final cut. It originates from McConaughey's method of relaxation between scenes, which he has said was taken from a song called "I Do" by Ali Farka Toure from "Talking Timbuktu", which Toure had collaborated with Ry Cooder on. Toure passed away. Matthew McConaughey's radio interview | The Totally Unnecessary Wolf Of Wall Street BoardUpdate: Arik Beremzon has the proper answer as well. I didn't realize he had referenced the same source in an answer here, as this was an A2A for me. Consider the first paragraph some added context.
