The invention of lying

The Invention of Lying takes place in an alternate reality in which lying-even the concept of a lie-does not exist. Everyone-from politicians to advertisers to the man and woman on the street-speaks the truth and nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences. But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark (Gervais) suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to realize that things are getting a little out of control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves. You can't help yourself recognizing that Gervais is English and that is maybe why he is successful in the US. With this movie, he has success worldwide. I like very much english humor and this comedy, together with sarcastic and criticism, is spontaneously a must-see. So many of us have seen themselves in this role, blocked by education and religion, that we starved to free, jealousing the other guy. The english way shows another way and that is why I recommend you to watch the movie. Not the masterwork but the kind of one you want to keep and watch again, maybe forward to friends for them to have a good time.
