"Avatar" stunned me with pictures, and "Birth of a Lie" stunned me with stories

If "Avatar" relies on technology and money to create a beautiful alien planet, then this movie is purely based on imagination and creativity to create a world where people don't lie. Compared to "Birth of a Lie," the six-legged beasts in "Avatar" are simply shoddy.

We usually hate lies, but who can imagine a world without lies. The film imagines a world where people tell the truth instead of lying, and it feels like a Soviet-ruled East Germany, gray, repressed, and ruthless. The funniest thing is when the human being in this world has the first mutant, the first person who can tell a liar, a series of wonderful and ironic things were born, and he even became the person who invented religion... This film is not Know whether to satirize religion or satirize rational science.

    The truth is threatening. In such a city resembling Utopia, we, as the audience, will laugh off ironically because of the harshness of the truth. The creator of the lie used his amazing discoveries with kindness to benefit others as well as themselves. When we were fortunate to see the final combination of Mark and Anna: one false and one true. No matter how tactful or straightforward the words are, it is because of love in the final analysis.

    The front is slightly contrived~ · The back is very warm~~ Novel and creative but did not achieve the best effect~~~

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?

  • Mark Bellison: [arriving at nursing home] Martha Bellison, I'm her son.

    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.
