Why think so much?

I have to admit that I was attracted by the title of this movie and it turned out to be a movie worth watching. First of all, he has a unique and thought-provoking theme, let's not talk about whether this is the whim of the writer while drinking beer or what, many people say that the writer of this film is anticlimactic, and it is written into a rebuttal, I admit When I saw three quarters of the film, I was thinking the same question, did the writers dig too shallow? Is the story elaboration too rough? But one shot made me realize I was wrong, we were totally wrong! This is not a philosophical proposition about lies, this is just a movie about respect, about love! Just imagine, what is a lie? Do you think of ugly, vulgar, unbearable things? Open your eyes and watch this movie again? You have seen the courage of Mark, who respects his friends and gave hope to his friends, to let his neighbors regain their lives. You have seen the serenity of Mark's mother when he left. Similarly, we have seen the heroine's smile when she breaks the secular ethics and chooses Mark for love.
This is not a movie about lies, he just tells us to respect and love everyone around you, to give them hope, not to despise their appearance, to hate their embarrassment, that is not honest, but cold-blooded and realistic.
Yet why are we so misunderstood about the film's thesis? I think maybe this society is full of too many hurtful, insidious, selfish "lies" that make us sensitive to the word, the unexaggerated and bland yearning for advertising, history, politics, On the other hand, this is wrong. Advertising needs to be creative but not false. History needs to be colored but not tampered with. Politics can be rendered but deception can be avoided. What makes us long to regress to a society of bland, even cold-blooded reality? This is a social and philosophical question worth thinking about, and the answer is left to my own guess.
