Everyone wants a life without lies, but is the truth behind the lies really what we want? Are we ready to accept the truth called betrayal, exploitation, hatred?
The truth, are you really ready?
——Comment on "Don't Lie to Me"
"If I told you there was something on the ceiling, how would you react?"——At a party, a friend asked everyone such a question. The scene that followed was that the girls all raised their heads directly, while the boys raised their heads only after moving their eyebrows. The person who asked the question smiled smugly: "This is the difference between the typical thinking habits of the sexes."
"When did you start studying psychology?"
"Wrong! It's behavior. But it's not research, it's the same as "Don't Lie to Me" I learned it."
The appetites of the people around him were suddenly lifted, but they didn't know that "LTM syndrome" opened up to us.
It's amazing that the original name of this American drama called "Don't Lie to Me" was actually "Lie to me", so I reluctantly pouted again for the translation problem. As far as I know it, it should be translated as "Lie to me". Try to lie to me? , arrogant, suitable for Dr. Lightman at work, and also suitable for FOX, who is full of confidence in it - they put it after "America's Got Talent" with an audience of 30 million, which is all the series dream of golden period.
However, it turns out that FOX's confidence in this new drama is not without reason. As a TV series, its success is not only limited to dazzling ratings and audience loyalty, but also has a huge impact on the real life of fans. influence. If people affected by a TV show are called "the show syndrome", "Meteor Garden Syndrome" is just a handful of daydreams, but "LTM Syndrome" includes almost all its audiences.
Let's take a look at the typical behaviors of LTM syndrome:
1. Make a collection of episodic behavioral knowledge on the Internet.
2. According to the interview video, combine various gossip news to do celebrity analysis.
3. When talking to others in daily life, you can't help but observe whether others are lying to you.
4. When lying, you will deliberately control the small movements that are easy to expose yourself.
5. Day and night looking forward to the early release of the new season of "Lie to me" (the food will be served immediately in September).
The most interesting of these is Behavior One, from which the behavioral tidbits listed above are derived.
TLM's model is that each episode is interspersed with two stories (only very few episodes tell a story), all of which are cases taken over by the Lightman Group. This private research institution has a wide range of employers. Today, it is the FBI that has a headache for criminal cases. , Tomorrow is a rich man who is confused about love. The four protagonists with distinctive personalities expose people's lies layer by layer by virtue of their expertise in the fields of behavior and psychology, and approach the truth.
The knowledge listed on the Internet comes from their analysis of the case or Lightman's teaching process for the government. It is not only directly spoken by the protagonist, but also reinforced with pictures of celebrities, which is the most attractive part of the film. So there is no need to pay attention to the "behavioral tutorial" that comes out with the latest episode of LTM, in the forty minutes of watching the episode, the things you want to remember are already ingrained in your mind, and then you will be doomed. Start seeing how it affects your mood, your life, and the people around you.
When the person you are talking to makes a slight unilateral shrug, involuntarily purses, rubs his neck, or touches his nose, when you keenly capture the flashes of anger or disdain on their faces Expression", you may not expose them face to face, but your mood will inevitably be affected to varying degrees - everyone is lying to you, and there are several lies in such a short conversation!
So you get depressed and doubtful, you look at the people around you as uncomfortable, and they look at you even more strange - what does this do for no reason?
Can you tell them why you are unhappy? As long as there is a shred of sanity, absolutely not. You know that this is all the influence of LTM, but out of the infinite yearning for "truth", you still can't extricate yourself to return to LTM to find the truth again and again - so far, you have completely fallen into the LTM cycle.
Is it scary? But almost everyone who knows it can't resist its temptation, teach you to see if the people around you lie to you! The mysterious and mysterious behavior and psychology! Wouldn't it be a pity not to see...
In fact, it's really a pity.
Voice-over: You refute yourself what the hell are you talking about...
Well, I mean, LTM is really a super good American drama, but in order to avoid it affecting our lives, we need to treat it Beware, this is what the above does. As for the solution, see below.
Voice-over: You dead panda, it's not over even if you don't ask...
hey... I continue to speak aggrievedly.
Although the above rendering of LTM is so terrible, in Panda's view, these adverse reactions are not inevitable, as long as you firmly grasp the core of LTM - that is what Gillian, Lightman's partner, often said: What matters is not whether people lie, but why they lie.
The brilliance of each case is the ingenious management of the screenwriter, and its foundation is the eternal topic of "human nature". When you've seen previous stories, followed all kinds of close-up shots with obvious hints, and thought you and Lightman had foreseen the truth, those O'Henry-style stories ended, I believe, there will always be one that makes you sigh Thousands.
It is warmth. The middle-aged congressman ruined his political career due to the scandal of recruiting prostitutes, but he would rather give up his life's struggle than tell the truth to anyone. That prostitute was the daughter he gave to others many years ago. He couldn't abandon her again for his own sake, and he couldn't let the label "the congressman's prostitute daughter" follow her for the rest of his life.
It's justice, the female scientist did sell the formula to other companies, but her conscience was condemned when she found out that the formula she sold had caused the death of a patient. She steals information again, not for money, but for justice in her heart. She will do her best to prevent the potion from causing more disaster.
In life, some lies are good intentions, some are means, and some are for the sake of the overall situation. So next time, when you want to get angry with a lie, look at the liar's purpose first.
In the play, everyone knows that Gillian's husband often lies to her, and Gillian himself, a psychologist, is even more unlikely to not know, but no one has ever said anything. When Torres asked about Lightman, the answer was that it was okay to mind his own business, and when Lightman couldn't help himself, Gillian told him to keep the bottom line.
This is the wise man. Everyone wants a life without lies, but is the truth behind the lies really what we want? Are we ready to accept the truths called betrayal, exploitation, hatred?
In fact, some things are better if you can't see them clearly, what do you think?
