There are always liars

If you have a liar like the protagonist of the movie Mark, then obviously there is no need to be too nervous, because such a person has completely integrated the lie and the truth, and it is estimated that even he himself does not understand why he is habitually lying. .
Such people, just like when we watched this movie, really don't understand why they always lied, and ended up putting themselves in prison. How can such things that harm others and themselves be done? But sometimes, I think just like in the movie, you should see a psychiatrist. Maybe it's a certain external factor, such as the adopted child in the movie is more cared for, causing him to have a compulsive mentality instead of having what ordinary people think. A fully self-interested factor that can be understood.
Some reviewers thought the movie had a laugh, but I didn't see it, maybe because of the subtitle translation. But the film has brisk music from time to time, which seems to tell everyone that it is a dark humor film. Until the end of the film, TRUST was still sung, but at the beginning it was revealed that the protagonist was lying all the time. I want to ask the director, who are you lying to? This isn't a suspense movie.

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.
