Honesty is a physical defect

The Invention of lying movie has an interesting beginning: the world didn’t have the ability to lie, and calling the boss to ask for leave would just say: “I’m not sick. I just hate work!” (So it seems that today’s It’s actually a phenomenon of returning to ancestors that handsome men and cool women challenge their bosses.)
Until one day, Mark, a middle-aged man who couldn’t pay the rent, was forced to a corner by poverty. His brain cells suddenly mutated and he blurted out to the bank teller. There are still 800 yuan in my account!"
At the moment when the bank clerk smiled and offered the big bills, the world's first lie and liar were successfully born.
Mr. Mark finally waited for his "dog day" (didn't it mean that every dog ​​has its day). Fancy that beauty on the street? Just step forward and say: "You have to make love with me, otherwise there will be war." The beauty turned pale and eagerly dragged him to open the room.
In the world of telling the truth, being able to lie is definitely a superpower. With the golden cudgel of lies, our little Ma brother can completely stir up the rectum of this boring world!
Just as I was excitedly looking forward to the collapse of the world’s chaos and music, the director suddenly chanted the curse. In the second half of the movie, he began to play the morally correct card. It was said that Mark had fabricated a heavenly lie in order to comfort his dying mother, and The bottom line of how he insisted not to lie caught up with his dream girl.
How rebellious, how subverted, how evil, and how charming an idea, just wash your hands and be good.
Boring. Lax. What's wrong with you? I can't help but throw swear words and blank eyes at the director who has a brain stroke.
The only shining point of this unstemmed rotten movie is this idea: lying is an evolutionary physiological indicator, and it is as difficult to change as tall, short, fat and thin.
I said why I am so unworthy, I blush when I lie, I have a guilty conscience when I brag, I get goose bumps when I get close to someone, and I feel sick when I want to flatter! It turns out that the evolution of congenital deficiencies is not complete.
What we call honesty and frankness is actually not a moral vanguard, but a lagging evolution.
I don’t like to chat with strangers very much. One of the main reasons is that I can’t help but dig my heart out to people. After a few words, I may not even hear the name of my family, so I just put my hobbies in the family business. It's all out. I feel so stupid when I finish talking. But as soon as there was a blank in the next chat, I recklessly braised or steamed myself and then quickly served it out.
I once suspected that this was an occupational disease of studying journalism, and I always wanted to disseminate the most and most important information in the shortest time.
Now I understand that this kind of stupid eldest sister's inextricable frankness is a pitiful physical defect.
After figuring out this truth, I felt much more at ease. Since the birth defects cannot be changed, don't worry about reviewing yourself and reinventing yourself.
When the unit had a meeting again, I sat quietly in my seat, and watched enviously all the leaders with rich expressions and eloquence, speaking righteously and sternly about the spiritual, ideological, policy, policy, and planning, deployment, and vision benefits. Under the X-ray of imagination, they are like alien creatures with three heads and six arms with advanced precision, and their transparent and weak coelenterate creatures had to retreat into the corner inch by inch, hoping that they could evolve into a small one tomorrow. The shell that hides the shame.

    Mark Bellison: [narrating] Testing. Testing. Testing over the credits. The credits that no one cares about.

    [under his breathe]

    Mark Bellison: "Ooh, we're the business people. Ooh, we want our credit before the film starts, 'cause..."

    Mark Bellison: Anyway. The story you're about to see takes place in a world where the human race has never evolved the ability to tell a lie. This is a typical town in that world. As you can see, people have jobs and cars and houses and families, but everyone tells the absolute truth. There's no such thing as deceit or flattery or fiction. People say exactly what they think. And sometimes that can come across as a bit harsh. But they've got no choice in the matter. It's their nature.

    Man: [on the phone] Look, I'm not coming in to work today. No, I'm not sick. I just hate it there.
