A bug

The programmer's personality is reversed, and his life is from an innocent niche, and he turns into a sinister liar. Well, don't say I am too serious. The plot is very brisk, but after watching it, I always feel something is wrong. Thinking about it, find a bug.

That is: the programmer is a big fat girl randomly found in the pool. This is no problem. The key is that Fat Niu recognized at a glance that she was the founder and inventor of APP.

At this time the problem came. Fat Niu and the programmer do not know each other, and there is no possibility of collusion. The only possibility to recognize a person by brushing his face is that he has a certain degree of popularity. In other words, he has been in the media and his face is widely known. At least in the mobile party like Fat Girl, no stranger. There is another evidence that the fat girl pretends to be blind, that is, investigates his grandmother's blindness, so she pretends to be the same kind for sympathy. This requires background information to be able to find out.

So, programmers use real identities, not pseudonyms casually used. Even if the pseudonym is used, the homework has been prepared in advance and the fake identity has been done enough.

So why is it necessary to expose yourself to ugliness after boarding the plane and immediately send text messages claiming that you have cheated money. The two victims can call the police immediately, and text messages can be the basis for fraud. The plane hasn't landed yet, and the crook is about to be caught. Especially famous people, the monk can't run away from the temple. For a mere one million dollars? not worth.

Of course, from the perspective of the plot, it is interlocking, and it is necessary to reverse it immediately. The plot is also for the plot.

Elizabeth Holmes, a real person in the real world. An inventor who started a business in Silicon Valley with 800 employees and a blood tester company with the highest market value of US$10 billion proved to be a liar. It took fifteen years to expose it! I have been on Forbes, and I have made friends with high-ranking officials, Wendi Deng’s ex-husband Murdoch, how shrewd it is. The old man who crossed the river and demolished the bridge has invested 125 million US dollars. Note, fifteen years, what a long round. Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme only involved 50 billion US dollars, 10 years. There are many similar scams, such as Juicero juicer.

Fat girls are like street wine trays, beautiful women are delicate nuggets, as for programmers, they are the Wall Street crocodile without blood. Carrying a small flag of the tour guide to visit or something, a strong taste of cheapness, of course, it is for the gathering of liars and the plot for the plot.

There are no surprises in the real world. Fake it till you make it , many people in Silicon Valley say so, and do the same. It is said that Edison said this sentence first, yes, it was Thomas Edison, before he actually invented the incandescent lamp. Whether it's true or not, the disciples are still imitating, and the one who fails is Elizabeth Holmes, Haruko Obokata, or others.

The script is still too shallow.

    The very lovable two heroines have done their best, but "Xiaoguo" is so sincere, the screenwriter and director should come out and take the blame. Obviously it's a movie that should make people feel very cool, but it's not cool at all.

    That's fair enough, then? Are you kidding me, the movie with two female protagonists is still deceived by a man in the end? And the ending is ridiculous too.
