tl;dr: The new Elizabeth Holmes documentary "You Can See Everything," directed by Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder, isn't just about Theranos—it's a meta-exercise in manipulating the viewer's perception of Holmes through camera angles, editing, and narrative framing. The author argues the film demonstrates how easily opinions are shaped by how a story is told, with Fielder himself (who lived with Holmes for a month pre-prison) functioning as an unreliable narrator. The takeaway: we form emotional impressions first and seek facts to justify them, making us far more susceptible to narrative manipulation than we'd like to admit. | |
