Lies are reprieve sugar for pessimists

It's a pretty good movie. It's very ordinary at first glance. It's so ordinary that I don't really want to see it. After I just downloaded it, I just pulled it and wanted to delete it directly, but thanks to the almighty mule, I can't bear it when I look at its 2G size. forbearance. The film is about a small town in a certain year, a certain month and a certain time. At that time, human beings did not have the ability to lie. Everyone told the truth. Even if it was harsh, they would be honest. Saying it out, although I don't understand what they can't say in their hearts, at the beginning, the female pig's feet opened the door and said that I was a little embarrassed when she was masturbating, and she was really an honest child. The male pig's feet is a loser, ugly, short, fat, with a flat nose, a bit like a toad, is a failed screenwriter, the boss is thinking about firing him, within a day or two, his secretary will also Don't like her, his handsome colleagues hate him, his friends are also some losers in life, his pursuit of female pig's feet fails because his genes are too bad, and he is not the fifth diamond king until one day , he told a panic, and in such an honest town, his lie became true, after that he used every lie, he became the spokesperson of "God", he got a job again, and he lived in a mansion , but he is still alone and living a life of failure. Although it is a happy ending, I don't think he can laugh.

This movie can also be renamed, The Birth of Religion. The director's world view is very realistic. Although it finally reached the emotional level, I think it still satirizes the world very bitterly. Religion is a lie. Said that the existence of lies is hope, but in an instant I realized how small and fragile such hope is, just like the friend of the male pig's feet said, if you can go to Elysium after death without committing crimes, then I might as well drink every day, Decadent life is good, drinking can make oneself die early, why cling to the happiness of this world? What an ironic happy ending, although the male pig's feet did win the female pig's feet with love, the director told us that the good is only our expectation, everyone expects good things, but in fact we live in this cold and lonely universe.

In the eyes of man, a lie is like colored glasses, it adds a candy color to our life, but in fact, even if the poison is wrapped in candy, it is still deadly, and even when it is over, his friend is still Decadent, the people around him are still obsessed with pain, and the most ridiculous thing is that their child is also a fat nose, but, as Einstein said, the eternal is the stupidity of the universe and human beings, human beings because of lies , The life of the cup is beautiful, although happy, but stupid.

Lies cannot exchange for beauty and happiness. The reason why a male pig’s feet can catch up with beautiful women is because he has some beautiful qualities. Of course, more importantly, the people in the small town are honest and simple people. In today’s society, Lies have become more dangerous, after all, they are technical jobs, but I think people who live in lies are more pessimistic than real people. Those who know the facts are dangerous and can still face it with a smile. Yes, it is the truly optimistic person.

Suddenly I found that I was actually quite optimistic, haha ​​^_^.
