Imagine a world with no lies and only the truth are said to everyone even though how harsh it would be for the person. I don't think I can't live with in this world and so can you. We've all told a white lie. There are lies that can make someone feel good about their self like the role of Ricky Gervais as Mark in The Invention of Lying. This is the world of Mark where everyone says how ugly, fat, short, or how unsuccessful the person is personally. The word lie doesn't exist in their dictionary. No spoilers so that you can watch it yourself. The concept is sort of a utopia then one person discovered on how to change oneself by telling a lie. He was able to see people not physically but on how they deal with others. Loving, Kindness, generosity, intelligence and loyalty are just some of Mark's characteristics. Good funny lines are thrown to people's beliefs in the existence of a higher being but there are more scenes on the romantic side. Still, a fair movie for me.
