The world in this movie is made up - there are no lies. Every sentence is true, only language exists to describe the facts. Every word of everyone is true, so any language spoken is the ultimate judgment without any cover up. Language is only used to describe reality. Without lies, there is no doubt; without deception, there is no wariness. Real so trust.
The name of this movie attracted me. I am very curious how the director will set up this world without lies. People are telling the truth, so what?
Because I can imagine myself.
Come to think of it, every word is true. As soon as you open your eyes, tell the people around you about your dreams. That dream may be dark and wretched. You start a conversation, the conversation becomes very slow, you have to think about what the truth is. Do you love him? Do you love her? Who are you thinking about? Who will miss you? You go to work and you see bosses, colleagues, some you like and some you hate. These emotions are all revealed. You may be asked questions, and as long as you are asked, you will tell the truth. Imagine that secret in your heart. We are all like little dragons: I have many little secrets, little secrets, little secrets... I won't tell you, I won't tell you, I won't tell you... But in a world without lies, I just say what it is. You go home, see your parents, and tell them everything about you. Maybe you didn't go to work, maybe you didn't have a good class, maybe you went to a bar, maybe you played 419, maybe you fucked gay, maybe, maybe, there are countless unknown maybes. These may all become transparent. Because you don't lie, when asked, you tell the truth.
Tell the truth, beautiful or terrible?
The world in the movie is as real as it is, and a little boring. But there was a man, a loser, a little man whose life was full of cups, and suddenly mastered the skill of lying. Yes, in a world without lies, lying is a skill. Because every word you say will be believed by others, so what you are depends on your self-definition. You can fool everyone, so you can do whatever you want.
Question: If you could do whatever you want, what would you most like to do?
The two characters mentioned in this question also mentioned sex. And it's between a beautiful girl who has never met before. Let me think... If I could do whatever I want, what would I most like to do? Of course I can't tell you? It's too dark, too obscene, too obscene, and you'll get caught...
But one thing is certain: I'll go with you... It's hard for the
movie to go on. There is one person who is omniscient and omnipotent, and everyone thinks it's true. As you know, later, the protagonist gets money, status, mansion, everything by lying. Except love. Because of the truth, the heroine can't trick herself into falling in love with him, she won't "deceive" this kind of action. The protagonist is a short, fat man without a straight nose. For truth, all plans are directed to the desires of the heart. The standard for the heroine to choose a mate is the best configuration of hereditary genes to give birth to an excellent next generation. This is close to animal reality. Yet, even in our world of lies, doesn't love at first sight happen every day? If you look like Ximen Qing and have a big donkey, isn't it an advantage? If you are Wu Dalang, isn't it destined to be a cup? It's not that I'm vulgar, that's what "Jin Ping Mei" said. Love this thing, the proportion of animals is very large.
Later, our protagonist was very restrained, and there was no explosion of greed. He also told the heroine the truth. However it cannot be understood. People don't understand what a lie is. The cup is that the movie ends in a hurry, letting the protagonists fall in love and give birth to a short and fat next generation. is true love.
The final foreshadowing is that the crystallization of this love inherited the quality of his father's lying, and he became the second liar in the world.
This gene will spread very quickly.
Except for a few higher animals, the animal world does not lie. Ants, wildebeest, anteaters, sloths, cheetahs, sea otters, none of them lie. Primates have lies. See "The Monkey, the Gorilla's Tale".
Lies are a product of evolution.
There is a gene, or several genes, that happen to mutate. The owner of this gene started to lie. We assume that he is one of our ancestral monkeys. The banana tree is in the east, and he tricked the other male monkeys into saying that the banana tree is in the west. Then he told the mother monkeys the truth. This lying monkey can eat enough and get priority mating along the way. Natural selection has no morals, it will choose this lying monkey to win.
Thus, the lying gene began to spread. In the end, all monkeys that don't lie are eliminated by the hand of nature discovered by Darwin. Our ancestors won out, and thus we lied.
So there are politicians, writers, directors, statistics.
When you see this, you should smile: the above is all fabricated, and it is okay to watch, believe that it is deceived.
In a world without lies, lies are born. We are now in a world full of lies, who dares to give birth to the truth? The truth may exist, but it is difficult to search for it drowns in an airtight sea of lies.
The universe is so empty, there is no light. We deceived each other and eventually ourselves. I shake and shake, how happy I am!
