In addition to this documentary, you can watch court experts . The second episode of the fourth season of this not-so-popular American drama tells a similar story that obviously borrows from Elizabeth's experience and gives some different perspectives.
A young woman named Whitney dropped out of college and founded a start-up company dedicated to the development of urban sewage purification systems, and because the story is well told (Dad owns a large farm and died of dehydration and heart failure due to a drought ) And the product looks so cool and has attracted a lot of investment. At a press conference, she promised to provide a commercial product within 90 days. After the meeting, the R&D director told her that it would be impossible to achieve what you promised. If you quit labor and management, you still have to report you, and then report her if you did so, and the girl was charged with fraud. The subsequent stories revolve around the defense strategy of the protagonist team and the trial process.
In my personal opinion, these two stories, real or fictitious, are actually discussing the same issue, how important is the legitimacy of the means in the process of achieving goals. If the tester is finally completed, will the frauds in the process be acceptable small flaws, compromises that have to be made in order to achieve the great goal, because the world is stupid and short-sighted.
I actually don't agree with some points in the documentary. For example, Elizabeth is an anti-social personality, tells lies without blinking, and is especially good at manipulating and exploiting powerful old men. Especially a certain professor in the film, in my opinion, she is a little bit wrong with others. Personally, I still prefer Elizabeth to believe that she can do it with her ideals. The more pertinent evaluation in the film comes from a professor of economics. He gave an example of a moral decline. When you believe that you are lying for a noble purpose, or for a greater benefit rather than self-interest, you are under pressure when you lie. The level will drop significantly. Elizabeth should be in a similar situation, but rather back, or because of lack of scientific literacy and willfulness, the lie became bigger and harder later.
It’s still a bit sad to watch this kind of film. Most idealists will not end well, such as Da Wei of ofo, such as Elizabeth. The hardest thing is probably knowing when to persist and when to give up.
