      The Invention of Lying--Thinking about Lying

      Has it always been human nature to lie? What is everyone's first lie? Is it in this movie's human nature to lie? What is everyone's first lie? This movie really has a good subject matter. Although it is not handled very well, it can always bring some fresh perspectives. If animals can't lie, then there must be a first liar in the evolution of man from ape to man. Is the story at that time similar to the story in the movie? After watching the movie, I felt that my thinking had an instant...

      The dream of a fat man with a flat nose


            Would the world be a better place without lies? At least in the world the authors of "The Birth of a Lie" gave us, life without a lie is not so good. Lies are the most powerful drug, once tasted, you can never quit. Because, in the real world, lies are beautiful. The world in "The Birth of a Lie" is a miserable world, where there is only truth.

      I want to be an honest good boy

      Hurrying to the theater, COCO has already started. I had to look for another film, because I liked Jennifer, so I chose to show this seemingly niche film in the side hall. The movie was only halfway through and I shouted for the price. The choice of subject matter and actors were very unique. Although there was no gorgeous scene selection, it was this kind of life-like footage that made people feel very real. After watching the movie, the whole person is in a good mood. I bought ice cream on...

      [2009] The Birth of a Lie

      Ricky Gervais, I lost to you!
      Just be your museum curator!
      Why do you want to jump ship and become a self-directed, self-directed performer!
      Poor Jennifer Garner with a flower, that's all...

      this one, and the squeamish museum curator's virtues -
      unflattering rants, lingering plots,
      masquerading characters, nonsensical endings.

      A world without lies is
      not a world of cynicism at all times.
      A world without lies is
      not a world without...

      a lousy film

      The idea of ​​having a place where every one tells the truth? em...Boring. I didnt even finish the film.
      We are now in the lie-pervasive world, and there are always some who would think: how did the first lie come into place? theres always a biginning, right? there will be the first one who lies, the first one who kills, the first one who betrays the kindness of human species. Yes, there will always be a first one, in theory. but who cares? We dont care how it begins, we live in the world...

    Evaluation action

    "The Birth of a Lie" did not attract much attention after it was released. The reason for the neglect of the film was that it was not well-watched. The "What if" comedy with lying as the theme, Kim Carey has already played quite thoroughly in "The Big Story". The most interesting aspect of "The Birth of a Lie" is that Jennifer Garner was hired as the heroine. In addition, although the director and actor Ricky Zevis of the film has...
