Here he's in his final role as "The Inventor" from #TimBurton 1990 masterpiece, #EdwardScissorhands with #JohnnyDepp and #WinonaRyder. It was the first film I saw as a child with Price and I thought he was superb.

neutral · AI labelView post →Avoiding spoilers for Fielder’s movie: In the last ten minutes of The Inventor, several people compare her to a religious zealot who genuinely believes her own BS. Exploring that is a central theme of Feilder’s movie.

I'm very interested in making your movie, with one proviso: once it's been produced you write a prequel about the inventor of the barcode, called The Inventor of The Barcode. Do we have a deal?]
neutral · AI labelView post →That’s a fair response, but that’s clearly not what the movie is about. It’s not a fraud investigation. Alex Gibney’s The Inventor (2019) is.
neutral · AI labelView post →That, to me, is part of the beauty and the meaning of this film. What’s real? Who’s telling the truth? Illusion is a key element in Holmes’ story. For a pure, Alex Gibney-level documentary experience, there’s always his excellent HBO documentary, THE INVENTOR: OUT FOR BLOOD IN SILICON VALLEY.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just saw it yesterday and immediately came home and watched The Inventor to compare what she said then to what she says in the film. We're still talking about it. Is it a lie if you've convinced yourself that what you're saying is true?

positive · AI labelView post →Yeah, I definitely left the movie wondering what people who didn’t see The Inventor would think she did.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve seen people say they watched “The Dropout” and/or “The Inventor” to get into the mood of watching this movie and I legit want to know who can’t get enough Elisabeth Holmes that they need to watch three movies about her. What am I missing here other than “yet another grifter”

positive · AI labelView post →I had never heard of Fielder and had not watched any of the shows about Holmes, though I had read investigative reports on her when Theranos was failing. Still enjoyed the movie. You can go into it w/o having seen The Dropout, The Inventor or anything by Fielder.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh I watched The Inventor, listened to The Dropout, then also watched The Dropout. Do I leave the film feeling like we've humanized her, drummed up some sympathy?
neutral · AI labelView post →I agree, and I wonder do we really need another Elizabeth Holmes movie? We have The Inventor, Bad Blood, The Dropout, multiple segments on multiple shows and Amy "you got played" Chozik's "call me Liz" bullshit story. I know all I want to know about her and then some--she's just a lowlife criminal.

neutral · AI labelView post →15. Night of the Zoopocalypse. ...okay, so I'm just gonna say it...best movie I've seen on Hoopla. Yes, I liked it more than The Inventor. In fact, I was surprised by how much I liked this one. Though admittedly, I shouldn't have been, because this premise is actually really cool. Funnily

positive · AI labelView post →So last week it was "You must see the new Tom Cruise movie" and this week it's "Ignore the Elizabeth Holmes movie"? I saw Alex Gibney's "The Inventor" so I know what she did. I also saw Alex Gibney's "Going Clear" so I know just who Tom Cruise is as well. I'll be going to see "Wildwood" this week.

neutral · AI labelView post →I was quite nervous at the start here when I saw how many production companies were involved - it looked like a recipe for a mess. Well it isn't. It's certainly an amalgam of animated styles featuring everything from flat 2-D drawing to complex technical sketching and some stop-motion characterisations that really worked quite quirkily. It's the briefest of potted histories of the life of Leonardo da Vinci. We start in Rome where his sponsor - Cardinal de Medici - is constantly firefighting for…

The fantastic stop-motion animation stands out, but the 2D sequences are just as, if not more, captivating.
