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 "Flyer" . Hughes, who combines these characteristics and a suit, suddenly lived a secluded life in his later years, which not only made the American people have a strong curiosity, but also gave the protagonist of the film, Irwin, the opportunity to create this shocking deception. There is even a theory that this led to the resignation of US President Richard Nixon over the Watergate scandal.

After watching the film, according to the final ending of the film, I went to the website of "Time" magazine to check it. I didn't expect that the cover story of the issue on February 21, 1972 was actually Alvin's, but it was replaced in the film with Photo by Richard Gere. At the same time, this day is also the first day of Nixon's visit to China. On June 17 of the same year, the Watergate incident occurred. On August 8, 1974, Nixon resigned over the Watergate scandal.

The Hoax quotes

  • 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.
