International joke

Mark has assisted the FBI as a senior employee of the company and a secret intelligence officer for a long time. It is not easy for a normal person. In the beginning, Mark's explanation was based on his sense of justice as a biologist, so he decided to stand on the side of morality that he believed to be correct. This kind of plausible reason, even under the premise of cognition of commercial crime, unless Mark is as honest and stupid as he seems, there must be far-reaching significance for Matt Damon to play this role.
If you understand Matt's acting history, you should see that Matt Damon's silly appearance almost has such a deceptive talent. Soderberg installed a lot of elements on Matt that made him look more stupid this time, such as fat, ridiculous hairstyle, clumsy nose, etc., as well as those talk show-like narration passages, in the original The heavy story material is smeared with a few black joys. But just like the previous tips given by "Genius Ripley", under this appearance is a more complicated and unpredictable heart. The so-called justice is always deceived by the true desires behind the protagonist, and there are multiple identities. . The speculative activity and instability of Mark in the character, as well as the imaginary world that seems to be irrelevant to the theme, all imply that this person is probably playing with everyone while playing with himself.
Mark’s mentality has already placed himself in an illusory and paradoxical world of lies in advance, so the occurrence of various possibilities in this world will not be so blunt to him, and he can act like opening up with everyone. It's a joke. For example, fabricating one's own life experience, fabricating a Japanese profiteer out of thin air. The black tone of the film was well grasped from the beginning, and the effect of the soundtrack also reminds you that this is a comedy. So if someone takes extra trouble to figure out what happened in this long-winded language, the idea itself can also teach people joy.

The Informant! quotes

  • Mark Whitacre: There should be a tv show about a guy who calls home one day and he's there, he answers, he's talking to himself, only he's someone else. He's somehow divided into two, and the second one of him drives away and the rest of the show is about him trying to find the guy.

  • Mark Whitacre: [on the phone] Well, they kept coming to the house and they only had ADM's side of the story.

    Brian Shepard: You talked to the Wall Street Journal, Mark? What did you say? It's real important that you not talk to the press.

    Mark Whitacre: Me? I told them I had no comment, but didn't matter, they already had the story, anyway. They already had it. Did you see my stipple portrait? It's pretty good.
