The Invention of Lying (2009)
Source
The film starts from a very original idea, you start watching the film and you think “how has nobody thought of making a film about lying before?”; an intelligent film that is, nothing of the Compulsive Liar type.
Beyond being a comedy, it provides interesting reflections about existence, social life and values.
This is probably one of the best comedies of this century, and probably one of the most ingenious and brilliant criticisms of something as ridiculous as religion.

The mere invention of this curious world in which lying does not exist is not only a display of originality, but the establishment and creation of a plot base that allows not only to demonstrate the virtues and disadvantages of knowing how to lie, but also to recreate tremendously ingenious situations and dialogues that question many of the absurd bases that, as the social animals that we are, we have taken as valid without ever asking ourselves if they are in fact correct.
The absurd need to believe a lie in order to be happy, to give an example, or the media power of lies as a promise of well-being, builds a kind of bittersweet fable in which one wonders to what extent we are happy based on believing what we want to believe, without showing the reality that lurks behind our continually disguised unhappiness.
In addition, the film is full of witty ideas and ironic and corrosive dialogues on topics not only transcendent, but purely mundane (watch out for the Coca Cola jokes), which will make the attentive viewer smile and able to read between the lines the fierce social criticism that hides its elaborate and perfectly written script.
This is a film that tries to show the humanist and secular vision of the world to those who still believe in the self-serving and false tales of religions, created with the sole purpose of controlling and reassuring the masses.
This is a movie for believers to see things from another point of view, but Ricky Gervais, a well-known atheist, did not count on one detail, believers only see what they want to see, and what they want to see is an eternal life because the opposite is not desirable.

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.

What was up with the downvotes? I assume you had your posts written by an ai or something like that and it kind of sucked having you on auto-upvote to see the curation rewards go to zero.
I don't use artificial intelligence, in fact my reviews don't even look like that, I don't know the reason for the downvotes and nobody gives me an explanation and as you can see there is none in my posts.
Weird, I looked for an explaination in a reply but it indeed was nowhere to be found which really sucks. Did you never contact them to ask what's up, I would do that to avoid it in the future. I hope they didn't scare or bully you away from Hive.
Cheers,
