The Invention of Lying (movie)

This is the most profound parable I've seen in a movie since a long time, and it is so relevant to this forum.

It's the story of a poor guy whose life is changed when he discovers the benefits, for him and others, of making stuff up in a world where there is no such concept as saying something that isn't.

Saw this a few months ago, I recomend

.

Really funny flick, brilliant satire and social commentary. Ricky Gervais is a comic genius.

Watch out for the 'man in the sky' religion popping up somewhere soon, it sounds pretty tempting.

Great scene.

I am with you. A very witty way of taking the Mickey, that's for sure.
