The story takes place in a world where human beings don't lie, and all the human beings in it live, work, and fall in love just like us, but... they are completely different from us Something that has been skillfully pinched: lying. Yes, there are no lies in this world, and people don't know what lies are at all. From politicians to advertisers to men and women on the street, every word they say in their lives is the truth from the heart. But one day, the situation changed slightly: Mark, a desperate and destitute young man, told a lie to make a living, and this lie was also the first lie in the world. Mark found that this lie brought him a lot of benefits, so he began to lie one after another. In this world that only tells the truth, Mark's lie one after another brought him a lot of fame and fortune, and his career began to take off.
At first glance, the title of the film is rather dark and humorous. The story begins with a very absurd setting. When you see a group of people open up and talk about what you think in front of you, what a fun and incisive process. . I don't think most office workers say to their supervisors like this: I'm not going to work today, no, I'm not sick, I just don't want to go.
In the first half of the plot, with the sharp and confrontational lines, it also seems to have a bright spot, especially when the male protagonist Mark finds that lies can make him have everything, and all he does is need to move his lips. He tried to explain his shocking discovery to his friends, but unfortunately, the setting of this world is that, except for Mark, everyone in the world lacks the cerebral cortex in the LIE area. In the end, Mark asked helplessly, if the world could become what you want, if you could change everything, you could do anything, what would be the first thing you would do? Mark's best friend said with an ignorant and serious expression, "I would touch girls' boobs." Unfortunately, the style suddenly changed in the middle, completely falling into the clichéd romantic comedy mode, and the second half was not very bright. . .
In a word, the film review is generally that a fat and incompetent loser Mark, with a mouth full of lies, finally embraced the beauty.
The positive significance of this film is generally just to comfort those Luthers, even if you are losers, you are not useless, if you persist until the end, you may get true love...
Of course, let us hold such naive fantasy live. Who says it can't be done?
