First of all, I praised Matt Damon for his good acting. Just watching him alone is not enough to watch this film.
Secondly, I have some difficulty in understanding the plot. Why should a decent person with a high income and a good social status start to fabricate a lie that someone extorted, so that in the end he had to use a series of lies to make up for the previous lies, and finally the lies And back and forth between reality and back and forth, and even fell to the point where no one believes. There is really no better logic to explain it than to have a habit of lying. If so, I spent 108 minutes watching a story telling a lie, it seems a bit worthless,,,

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.
