The birth of a lie: the lie is gone, and the lie is lost

Too many people complain that the world is full of lies. Would a world without lies be better? From the perspective of this film, the answer is no. When reporting to you, your subordinates will directly express their dissatisfaction with you; every time they see a street bum, they will tell him that you are an incompetent loser; when you are fired, no one will come back to comfort you What you replace is cynicism; when you are dating a beautiful woman, she will directly indicate that she will not sleep with you or even kiss and clearly inform you that the date is unavoidable. A world without lies is not beautiful. It seems that the law of conservation is suitable everywhere, or not so harmonious... The story begins in such a world. When people push the mark into a desperate situation, there is no vocabulary to describe Something happened, oh, that thing in our world is called a lie.

The uniqueness of the story has increased the viewingability of the film a lot. After all, we all want to know how long the self-justification of mark can last, and what the world will look like by mark. But the success is also the Xiao He and the defeat is also Xiao He, so that the protagonist of the story film can be fooled, but the screenwriter comrades are not easy to handle. The film does get a lot of entertaining from the ridicule of these cold-blooded and unreserved people through the mark. Don't people lie about these correct things and they have to make up the lesson? People lose their kindness? Not reserved, cold-blooded and ruthless? Well, it's all for entertainment, but the plot has since entered a paradox.

I have been observing whether there will be a plot containing religious significance in the film. Fortunately, this expected bug did not appear. The last place of marriage was not the church, and the mark was replaced by the god in people’s hearts. This paragraph is still good. If you thank your ears, it is satirize, isn't it? ...There are still many puzzles. For example, wouldn’t Mark not flirt? After the whole world believes in him, why use it in a fire to tell the story of a child and a bear when he is alone with beautiful women. ?...I didn't laugh..

What about the actors...To be honest, I watched this movie at Tina Fey. I didn't expect that they were just a runaway. After a few sarcasm, there was no trace. The next year around the two foreign Marks is more of a meaning of being a friend. There is no self-study portrayal but it always appears on the screen. Jonah Hill is just rushing to the name of Ricky Gervais. Speaking of coming back to look at the two protagonists Jennifer Garner and Ricky Gervais, how can I not see the aura of Mark.. And Garner.. This will be completely stupid..

Absurdity is indeed an art. I believe this script is more suitable for the stage. The drama can have more room for play... The birth of a lie can be said to be absurd, but it is unnecessary to be determined and reasonable. Isn't it better to be completely crazy?

    There is a section in the middle that is simply the birth of religion! The wedding vows are too great

    The story is very good. The world without lies is really scary. Watching this film reminds me of "The Truman World".
