Lies, do they have any meaning?

I haven't come across a film with such an interesting theme for a long time. Although the content is somewhat flawed, it does not hinder the unique concept of this film.

The movie fictionalizes a world that is completely impossible to exist in reality. The biggest feature of this world is probably that no one will lie. Yes, people in this world are born without this awareness and this skill. Everyone is open and honest, expresses frankly, communicates frankly, and expresses the truth incisively and vividly.

Simple, pure and clear, the first third of the shots are depicting how incredible and interesting this unimaginable world is. Advertisements are all real lines, dating are real feelings, getting fired is real contempt from colleagues, I don't like you just really don't like you.

Until, this pattern also means that you have no solace, no care, no comfort, no compliment. Well, no, human nature. What's interesting is that such a theme is similar to the polarities of Libra and Aries, a collision of harmony and straightforwardness. Obviously, once anything goes to the extreme, it is too narrow. This film will take us to think from an alternative perspective: whether lies have any meaning in existence.

It's a pity that the second half of the story seems to have gone a bit off, from the analysis of philosophical dialectical thinking, to the judgment of the so-called high-quality genes. Although the male protagonist is famous, clever, humorous, interesting, caring, considerate and understands women, the female protagonist really likes the male protagonist, but she doesn't want to marry him because she doesn't want to have a fat child with a fat nose.

Therefore, the story at the end of this inexplicable foreign association theme finally just tells us: for senior foreign associations, being ugly and fat is a hard injury, and it is difficult to make up for it with other material fields. Well, as a typical Venusian, I deeply agree. Of course, it must be a big reunion in the end. After all, love is more than everything. It's all tricks, lol.
