I watched the movie "The Birth of a Lie" and enjoyed such a steaming hot pot meal. The opening was tepid, just waiting for the plot to develop, until the climax brought out by the first lie, began to add a variety of comedy food to enrich the table. The goal is to create a "cloud moving from all directions, wind from all directions" in the "frivolity" comedy core, which cannot be underestimated, just like the cultural atmosphere is overflowing on the wine table, "the world is big in the cup, and the sun is in the pot. Month length".
The style of the movie titled Ricky Jarvis is not mysterious to the audience. His talent for creating comedy has been confirmed in the English version of The Office. This time, the three positions have to shoulder to shoulder, once again produced such a seemingly nonsensical comedy, but there is no magic in the sky, as expected, but there are also unexpected surprises.
Speaking of the whole movie, if the screenwriter does not have deep skills, it is easy to tell the story into a dead end. In a global village without lies, it is not difficult to make up some unimaginable weird things in communication that does not require any modification of language. But if you want to follow this ropeway, climb to the other side of the mountain, and bring back the sun and rain outside the mountain, you need skill and strength.
As far as choreography is concerned, Ricky's performance is better than his acting skills. I especially like the small fragments and small dialogues in this film where I can think and play.
"A sad place for hopeless old people" is written outside the building of the nursing home; Pepsi's advertisement complains helplessly to Coca-Cola "when they don't have Coke"; the Ten Commandments in the Bible are tampered with and recorded on the pizza box; the wedding The vows of loyalty to each other have also become a guarantee of "guarding the children with all their strength throughout their lives"; the portrait of Mark behind the priest in place of the gods is the finishing touch, and so on. These are the essence, but not all of them. They are just a little test, but from this eye-catching point of view, you can understand another important task of the play’s laughter, which makes you smile and use your brains.
The ideological content of the whole play is crisscrossed, and there is no absolutely independent argument, like playing a language game, seeking dialectical unity. If you don’t distinguish between true and false, if you say the truth is true, you create a "lie" and people can't understand the "false" that you think it is.
Even if there are no lies, there are talented losers. Even if there are no lies, there is still an intrigue vanity fair. And such a complicated and clear logical way of thinking can add luster to the structure and connotation of the story, and it is enough to make up for the shortcomings in the movie, such as some people who do not consider the adult's allergic reaction to sensation and naked injection of tear gas. Bridge section.
The turning point in telling the story must of course start with Mark’s first lie. Only in this way can Mark’s image be reshaped and the image of a declining man who has just been unemployed, abandoned by love again, and is about to fall on the street is lost. When he changed the three hundred dollars in the bank account to eight hundred, the dialectical thesis was expanded. At this time, there are two sides of hypocrisy and truth. The lying Mark represents hypocrisy, and the masses of people who don't know what lies represent truth. However, such a confrontation has led to a weird support group. Mark easily won the support of "kindness", but behind the people with the "real" in their hearts stood "harm, jealousy, power, stupidity, selfishness."
In fact, for Mark, who has gained popularity through lying, There is no absolute benefit and transfer. The woman he loved deeply refused to give in to his stubborn nose, and even later shook the woman's heart, but still did not change his impression of incompetence, talent and appearance in the heart of the future mother-in-law.
Not all lies, Mark is designed under premeditated circumstances. When the mother is dying, the most touching comfort is the improvisation of self-love. Of course, sometimes because of the eagerness of courtship, they will indulge their mouths and do whatever they want. The story of saving a baby in a fire and encountering a big bear is enough to test a person's IQ. Perhaps it is the nonsense that has not been scrutinized, but it shows that Mark can become a good husband and a great father. In popular understanding, the connection of these two paragraphs seems to be in line with some ordinary things. What we call "white lies" are not hypocritical lies. If this world does not want to be destroyed in hopelessness and depression, we need appropriate silence and tolerant praise. This also shows that lies are not all scourges. If they are out of love, then lies are the declaration of love, the truth of love. Conversely, to analyze lies with a dialectical perspective, we must face up to the evil nature of lies. Naturally, there are conditions. Mark knows how to move freely, so he made no mistakes. But once it is not well grasped, the lie will be controlled by desire and eventually become a weapon for hurting others and self.
This film also gave women a lesson invisibly, what kind of man is their most insurance long-term meal ticket. Mark gave the answer with actions, and men who respect women are the most trustworthy. Mark and Brad are in sharp contrast. Mark, who lost to Brad on the outside, is countless points higher than Brad in terms of internal value. Brad's biggest failure is jealousy, jealous because of his mediocrity, and jealous of the open and upright people because of his selfishness. When dealing with Anna, the difference between the two people is even more evident. Mark loves the house and the Woo, and it is completely behaving in the eyes of the lover. This should be instinctive and not a lie. And Brad is not only arbitrary about Anna's eating habits, but also rude to Anna's mother. This happened to make another comparison. Anna was in front of Mark once and told his mother on the other side of the receiver how Mark was an ugly fat boy. An excellent example of the combination of bluntness and rudeness proves once again that some "blunt words" are sharper than lies, and their value is sometimes to stab the kind and deceptive people.
Let's also talk about a topic that has no absolute conclusion. Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible. The answer to this question is here, perhaps there is no answer at all, just like the soul and the body are the same as a mortal, there is no more thorough understanding.
Towards the end of the movie, Mark's self-deprecating outfit is really a kind of "God" with you. That is what we call shaky baggage. It is a funny way to connect the rest of the time and reveal the last topic-courage. It is also worthy of shaking.
Love or not, why not ask your own heart, but ask God? I like Ricky's little tricks in the ending. Mark don't use lies to catch the beloved woman, the first time he didn't do that, this time he won't. The moment Anna ran out of the church, she probably didn't realize what she really wanted. She used courage to break through secular prejudice and parochialism, and also proved the fact that love can transcend everything with her actions.
In the movie, a few brisk and beautiful episodes add a touch of vitality to the story, blending a romantic atmosphere into the funny and serious. Although I can still feel the long string of goose bumps when Mark grasped the lies and brought hope to all the depressed people, but in retrospect of the whole film, the gains outweigh the disappointments, and the joys outweigh the complaints.
