DESCRIPTION:<a href="http://popcornclubshanghai.com/event/watch-talk-the-in
 vention-of-lying-is-honesty-always-the-right-move-46070/register">Watch & 
 Talk: The Invention Of Lying - Is Honesty Always The Right Move?</a>\nIs h
 onesty always the best policy? Or would a world without lies be unbearable
 ? What would happen to kindness\, romance and ambition if everyone said ex
 actly what they thought? Join ICEX\, an award-winning filmmaker and sound 
 designer\, for a Watch & Talk featuring scenes from The Invention of Lying
 . This smart\, mischievously funny comedy imagines a world where nobody ha
 s ever told a lie—until one man discovers how. Co-written\, co-directed 
 by and starring Ricky Gervais\, whose comedy is famous for pushing boundar
 ies\, the film turns an outrageous premise into surprisingly uncomfortable
  questions about truth and human behaviour. Together\, we’ll explore why
  lying is woven into everyday life\, from protecting someone’s feelings 
 to protecting ourselves\, gaining an advantage or offering reassurance we 
 can’t guarantee. When does a comforting lie become manipulation? Does te
 lling the truth make us responsible? Or can it become an excuse for cruelt
 y? Through selected scenes and lively discussion\, we’ll compare perspec
 tives on what honesty gives us and what it sometimes costs. No prior viewi
 ng or film knowledge is necessary: ICEX will introduce the context so ever
 yone can join in. Expect plenty of laughter\, thoughtful disagreements and
  a fresh look at the things we say\, and the truths we choose to leave out
 . Let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs\, and watch a film that
  questions the line between the way we live and the values we say we live 
 by. Let's laugh at its silliness and discuss its depth and brilliantly hum
 an questions. Let's have an unforgettable discussion! 诚实永远是最
 好的策略吗？还是一个没有谎言的世界根本没法待？如
 果每个人都把自己想的原原本本说出来，善良、浪漫和
 野心会变成什么样？跟着 ICEX 来一场观影聊片吧。他是
 获奖电影人和声音设计师。这次我们看《谎言的诞生》
 里的片段。这部聪明又坏得好笑的喜剧，想象了一个从
 来没人撒过谎的世界——直到有一个男人发现了怎么撒
 谎。这部电影由 Ricky Gervais 联合编剧、联合执导并主演
 ，他的喜剧一向以敢踩线出名，这次他把一个离谱的设
 定，变成了关于真相和人类行为的、意外地让人不舒服
 的问题。 [...]
