True Lies

Had to use "true lies" to describe the movie.
A seemingly honest, honest person who makes people feel sincere from beginning to end, and finally broke the news so much, it turns out to be a greedy, dark, cunning "informer" who is always lying! Unexpected!
The film looked dull and even made me sleepy at one point, but it didn't become interesting until the end, when the lies were gradually exposed. . .
It's an interesting movie, but unfortunately requires a lot of patience. Watch it again, there will be a different angle, and more harvest.

The Informant! quotes

  • Mark Whitacre: I read this study in Time magazine when I was at Cornell, which is an Ivy League school, and there were people, including my mother, who never believed I would make it into an Ivy League school. Maybe Ginger, who I met in marching in the eighth grade. And the study said people had nice, sympathetic feelings about people who were adopted, and treated them better. So I made up this adoption story, and people *did* treat me better. And when I got a job, one of my professors told people at Ralston Purina that I was this amazing guy that had accomplished all this in spite of being adopted. And so it was really *other* people who spread the story, not me. Although I admit it was wrong to start it and everything, it was other people who kept it going, even the people at ADM.

  • Mark Whitacre: Mark Whitacre, secret agent 0014.

    Rusty Williams: Why 0014?

    Mark Whitacre: Cause I'm twice as smart as 007.
