I have always had the urge to imitate Steve Jobs and buy 10 sets at a time after looking for the right outfit. Although I never worry about the matching of clothes, sometimes I do encounter challenges of different sizes and lengths. Following the Steve Jobs style can save a lot of worry, the only thing that requires a lot of thought is to choose between washed clothes and unwashed clothes. After watching the HBO documentary "The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley" (The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley, 2019), this idea was completely dispelled.
The protagonist of the documentary, Elizabeth Holmes, is much more decisive than me. She has long adopted the Jobs style, wearing only the same high-necked black sweater and jacket. When Nixon was forced to resign due to the Watergate scandal, he put his hands in a V in front of the plane leaving Washington as a farewell. Few politicians in the United States are willing to continue to adopt this posture. In the same way, Holmes has become a rare super commercial liar in American history, and the half-life of Jobs's dressing style is likely to be greatly shortened as a result.
Looking at the whole film, Elizabeth Holmes' scam can basically be seen, but her motive for weaving this awful lie is still unclear, and I can't understand which key factors in her personality gave birth to such a special individual who is so different from ordinary people. She is so young, but the scam is so big and lasts so long. The series of deceived persons listed in the documentary are regarded as masters of the world, including former Secretary of State Kissinger, News Corp boss Murdoch and former Secretary of Defense Mattis. The older generation of politicians and former Secretary of State Schultz survived the Watergate and Iran Gate incidents unscathed, but he fell headlong into the scam set by Holmes.
why? how come? Because Holmes is as deep as the voice after electronic processing? Or because she is as blue as the South China Sea and never blinks? Perhaps by coincidence, most of the deceived celebrities in the documentary are men. Perhaps still out of coincidence, the earliest and most determined skeptic who appeared in the documentary was a professor when Holmes was at Stanford University, a woman.
In future drama movies of the same subject, Jennifer Lawrence will play Elizabeth Holmes. I hope she can provide us with clues to further understand this role.
