Actually it’s not even my opinion. She knew when she put out those component parts that it wasn’t the real Edison! She had to know that!!! (Sorry for going on and on, no one I know IRL has seen it yet and there is much to discuss lol)

As for the question you pose, does she actually believe her own lies? That’s really the heart of it. IMO, again, she’s completely FOS. Who’s on first cinched it right there for me. Not buying her vulnerable battered wife neurodivergent act. Liars lie. She’s a good one.

I’m not diagnosing her as autistic. I think she’s FOS. But she and her husband certainly imply she is. She doesn’t understand Who’s on First? Her total confusion re how people could have misinterpreted her? Billy literally says “her brain works differently” after the who’s on first exchange.

And what does it do for Oppenheim/Fielder strategically or artistically to present that as a closing intertitle rather than folding it into the film?
