Allegory about lying

On the surface, "The Birth of a Lie" is a novel romantic comedy. In a fictional world where there are no lies, the male protagonist has inadvertently gained the ability to lie. With the help of lies, the first person to lie has gradually achieved career and love success-unfortunately, the subsequent plot development is slightly clichéd and messy, making the film unable to escape the fate of a wonderful beginning and a sloppy ending.

But the film gives people a lot of inspiration in reality. "The Birth of Lies" directly teases and ridicules the hypocrisy and ugliness that people have become accustomed to. What does "The Birth of Lies" remind us?

1. There are no lies in the world, and lies are all forced out; but the lie will get better and better, until finally it becomes everyone’s habit to lie, and all kinds of lies come at their fingertips.

2. Everyone wants to round up the lie, so the lie is like dominoes-you lie once, but you have to make up for it with more lies until you get deeper and deeper.

3. Sometimes lies are more pleasing than reality. People like beautiful lies and are willing to immerse themselves in them. Even if the lies or the truth, they have no meaning in reality.

4. If you tell a lot of lies, you will believe it, so it is very important to distinguish lies. If the ability to distinguish lies is generally lacking, lies will eventually become the collective consciousness and common memory of society.

So I should wake up suddenly. Peek-a-boo, seventy yards, five times better. I am immersed in a flood of information of all sizes every day. Fortunately, everyone has the ability to distinguish between truth and lies. It’s a good thing to be two-faced with one set in the mouth and one set in the heart. If there are so many lies that everyone himself believes, that would be the most terrifying.
