The whole film has only the taste of wealth

To put it simply, the whole film is somewhat thought-provoking to reveal a very conventional truth: creativity is vitality.
Just imagine, you discovered or invented a thing, when people all over the world are still ignorant, it means that you will make super big money. However, the time frame in which you can profit from it usually depends on how long it takes for the masses to get enlightened. According to the film, we can completely imagine that if one day, everyone finds out that the dead fat boy with a pizza box is saying that God’s religion is a lie, (haha, is it very artistic that I didn’t break the sentence) I guess he The beautiful wife of the villa and the western-style building were all annihilated.
Therefore, the birth of the lie is a story about wealth creation, if productivity is improved, and everything else is traditional, let’s see what everyone else understands.

The Invention of Lying quotes

  • [first lines]

    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.

    Woman: Oh, your baby is so ugly. It's like a little rat.

    Woman at Restaurant: [sitting down] Wow! I just took one of the biggest poops of my whole life. What are you ordering?

    Receptionist: Ooh, it's good you're here. She's not doing well. You should say your final good byes today.

    Mark Bellison: Yeah. Someone says that to me every time I come here.

    Receptionist: She's at the top of our death pool.
