Lie to me, which has two translations: "A Thousand Lies" and "Don't Lie to Me", is about a company called Lightman specializing in information investigation, identifying true and false from the body language of respondents.

Starring Tim Roth, who first saw Pianist at Sea, then Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. In the latter two films, he is not the protagonist, and he has not many scenes. The one who really shows his strength is the pianist at sea.

Most of the heroes in American dramas are unique and like to play cards out of common sense, such as Bauer and House. Dr. Brightman, played by Tim, is as immersed in his own world as he does in The Pianist, and sees it in a unique way. "Not doing a proper job", "Seven years of research on eyebrows". Also impressive is Brendan Hines, who plays Eli Loker, a top student at MIT and a capable employee of Brightman, who is rational and straightforward, only speaks the truth, and is very star-like.

The film tells several examples of inner thoughts from facial expressions and other body language, and finds the case of several celebrities such as Clinton for comparison. Happy, anxious, frightened, contemptuous... The 43 muscles of the face can combine more than 10,000 expressions, and these expressions are universal in the world.

It is easy to make up lies, but it is difficult to fake body language. Especially when lying, there will be obvious inconsistencies between the content of the language and the physical behavior. If you master this, you can penetrate into the heart of the other party. While it can be difficult to spot preconceived lies, with the right questions, a breakthrough can still be found.

This film is quite practical, it can help you get to know the people around you and get to know yourself better.

In short, be careful to let your girlfriend watch this film, otherwise you will be at your own risk.
