      The Deception: From Lie to Nightmare

      (Written by Zhi Ning on October 31, 2007)
          There is a scene in the film "Secret Meeting" that makes people even more disappointed with the media (fortunately, he has been out of this business for a long time): the war reporter Pi played by Steve Buscemi Under the coercion of Sienna Miller's soap opera actress Katya, El finally revealed one of his secrets - the most brutal story in a war report was made up by himself, for the sake of It's about creating gimmicks, accomplishing tasks, and...

      Cows fly in the sky, people blow on the ground

      "Tycoon Pseudo Biography" The Hoax is another film involving "Hollywood Legendary Tycoon" Howard Hughes after "The Aviator", and it is also linked to Nixon's resignation. Unbelievable, right? It is adapted from a true story, but it is more dramatic than the movie. The highlights are as follows:

      1. Precious videos and photos of

      Howard Hughes Howard Hughes is still a legend and a mystery. He has multiple identities: an inventor who did not graduate from high school , the...

      Scam The Hoax

      It's been a long time since I watched a movie. I finally finished playing Magic 33 and the expansion film yesterday. I went home from class today and watched "The Scam".
       
          This is a real event, the plot sounds a bit bizarre, and the specific process will not be introduced too much here. Howard Hughes, a legendary figure in American history, avid flier, billionaire, playboy, Hollywood director and producer, serious cleanliness disorder patient... These are all shown in the film...

      "Liars, Boxes for Liars"

      Liars, Boxes for Liars by


      Clifford Irving, a writer of minor fame who wanted to use the public thirst of "Howard Hughes" to gain fame and fortune!
      So, together with another writer, he made up the most sensational hoax of the last century, which was finally exposed, so he was on the cover of "Time"!
      Become a super big liar! However, the process of writing his biography and the final result were linked to Nixon's downfall. It's incredible, isn't it? It's based on a true...

      the real protagonist

      As the saying goes: the daring will die, the timid will starve to death. This film is an excellent commentary. Clifford Irwin, played by Richard Gere, is also a perhaps less-than-perfect but true example of this statement.
      In the 1970s, little-known author Clifford Irwin told an unbelievable big lie that eventually turned into a daring and outrageous hoax that fooled the American public and the world alike. The media, but also made himself the focus of attention, the object of the media's...

      Absolutely unexpected joy, unexpected joy. This is really a hard-hearted scalp, not afraid of bullshitting. It's not that Gere has no acting skills, it's just that he faints a lot, and occasionally he is very strong if he doesn't...

    Movie quotes

    • Clifford Irving: Bumped by this adolescent coffee boy. My lit professor at Cornell compared me to Hemingway! The middle of my life is at hand, and I don't have a couch.

      Dick Suskind: Think about this: Henry Miller was 38-years-old, unpublished. His wife left him for a lesbian.

      Clifford Irving: You're kind to tell me that, Dick. You're a very good man. You're a good friend. Need a loan?

      Dick Suskind: Always.

    • Dick Suskind: Cliff, you publish this you will have a storm of shit rain down on you.

    • Edith Irving: You're always so careful when you talk, always so soft like a cushion for what you want. But I am leaving. But before I go, I give you something. You are exhausted from your lies. So tell the truth. Tell me the truth about what you did with her this time. It is your moment to be clean.

      Clifford Irving: I saw her.
