I love the previous doc about her honestly it shows how far you can get in life by being white and having a certain baseline of tech babel, people will hand you the world lol
Some of the discourse about her from people after watching this is nuts
Like did we watch the same thing
Shes not remotely charming or convincing
All she was doing was spamming “i dont know” over and over lmao
I only knew the overview of what happened with Theranos and Holmes before I saw this movie, so gotta say one of the most hilariously sick things I learned about it from the movie is that she was only convicted of defrauding investors and got the charges about defrauding patients dropped
So sickening and predictable
lmao this is one of Billy's parents

Type of discourse that could only surround a white person lmao

she’s lanky and talks quirkily low while making eye contact
bummer sunny won’t be in this one
FACTS
I saw someone saying they just wanna give her a big hug
Like nigga she in the feds lmaoo
Billy feels like a fictional character written by Rachel Sennot lmao
Rewatched. EH was, imo, hiding her power level and lying about not understanding the Who's on First bit. There's no other explanation. She's clearly extremely high iq and has no neurological impediments to reading people -- the opposite actually

How is she extremely high iq?
I mean but sticking to the bit didnt even benefit her majorly she lost all the money and fame. She is serving prison. She was the face of it while the indian guy is forgotten about name wise. She still is trying theranos 2 rather than accepting she is a drop out and average intelligence unless there is something I am missing. I dont view her as some super liar genius. I view her as likely on the spectrum and out of touch with reality due to her development years being in terrrible relationships.
one part my theater laughed a bit too much at was
when her dad talks about her experiencing rape changed her
THEY WERE LAUGHING THEIR ASS OFF AT THAT. Its like I GET IT she isnt a perfect person by any means she is guilty blah blah she lied defrauded investors but a lot of what my crowd laughed at wasnt even the parts that were funny some of it was just seeing nathans face they would burst in laughter and its like bro chill
Mine didnt laugh at him saying she was raped just at Billy immediately trying to shut the dad down from talking further and it was less of a laugh and more of a "oh s\*\*\* this mf is nutty and controlling af"
Also the reveal that her dad worked for Enron was admittedly funny in a "figures" kinda way lol
I feel bad for the kids most of all
Kids do deserve the money man

she is a woman who is thinking about going to prison and the whos on first schtick isnt that funny in the first place. Her sleep schedule was likley not that of a normal human being with kids in lead up to going to prison. If I heard that joke I could be thrown off while cameras and filmed

Enron was hilarious 100% and Billy trying to rush the conversation of men controlling her life.
my audience was brainrot man
some of the internet is more focused on virtue signaling that they saw the movie but that she is evil and deserves all the jokes/ being dehumanized/ in prison
more than the actual point of the documentary.
They are focused on going clapping saying "I am better than that huamn being less of a liar than that human being who will never confront their sins."
Again this pairs well with digger or serves some of the same functions as Jersey Shore
while also having some of the same levels of control production wise and framing as a season of jersey shore
One shot I really loved was when amanda was sitting against the tree with Nathan on the right side sitting too. It was taken from a low angle and the blocking and the coloring was immaculate.

eh
I’m open to the idea that she genuinely doesn’t understand the joke. I guess I’d believe that more than the insinuation that she is acting like she doesn’t understand the joke.
Billy using that as an opportunity to prove that she is different than regular people makes my sensors go off because throughout the first half of the doc there is definitely a strategic effort by Elizabeth and Billy to sort of clean up her image. To prove to the audience that she is not who the media says she is.

but you say there is the strategic goal to clean up her image. That isnt their goal lol Nathan and Lance shot 16 hours a day and they chose to splice the footage up the way they did there isnt a day count. There is no indication at any point that billy or elizabeth know or decid what footage is used. So the framing of her image is on the hands of the editor, director and nathan to be best serve their narrative.
Unless you think she was acting the entire 34 days. Which at times the whole house has cameras .

Well… I don’t exactly know what Lance and Nathan’s goal is with this. I think that’s the thing I’m still excavating.
But as for Billy and Liz, I do think there was a goal here to rehabilitate her image. In the film, it’s not like Liz is saying anything that doesn’t align with what she has said publicly and on trial. She’s never going to say “I knowingly defrauded people.”
