To be honest, when I first watched this movie, I thought it was a spy war movie with many thrilling stories in the complex process of revealing a conspiracy, but whenever I was just about to be convinced by the protagonist’s words, a lie started, and soon it was repeated. is another new lie.
This may be the most basic event that exists in politics, business, and even people's ordinary life: lying unconsciously because of some secrets that you don't want others to know. Maybe after the lie is exposed layer by layer, the first lie makes people feel Unbelievable, even more incredible.
From the whole story before and after, Mark is not a so-called vicious villain, although he wants to get the position of president, he has a lot of cars and may have a lot of real estate, and he has "corrupted" at least 1150 Ten thousand dollars, but I still can't see his sinful nature.
From the narrative of the story, Mark's research encountered a bottleneck, or he poisoned the product, so he lied and said that Japanese commercial spies did it. The company decided to involve the FBI, and Mark was very opposed to it. , In fact, if the objection was effective, there would be no more lies being made and exposed, but the unease in Mark's character prevailed, he lied and contacted him through the office phone.
The matter is too complicated, I can't figure it out. To be honest, this is a comedy and thriller without thrills. After reading it, I feel more sympathy for Mark. Those business rebates, which are overt and covert, are probably common, but because He chose to cooperate with the FBI, and was almost regarded as a lunatic in the end. The FBI did not exonerate him, but was abandoned. No one believed him.

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.
