10.The invention of lying (2009)

Plot

The background of the film is an alternative reality where there is no lying.

Mark Bellison is a screenwriter. In the film industry, because there are no novels, it is limited to historical reading. One night he was dating the beautiful and wealthy Anna McDougs. She told Mark that she was not attracted to him because of his poor looks and financial situation, but he would go out with him and ask his best friend Greg Kleinschmidt for help .

The next day, Mark was fired for lack of interest in the film (which was filmed in a poor movie in the 14th century), and his landlord threatened to evict him from paying rent. Dejected, he went to the bank and closed his account. The teller told him the computer was off and asked how much money he had in his account. Then Mark had an epiphany that enabled him to tell the world's first lie, that is, he had $ 800 in his account (the amount owed to the landlord). He was then in a variety of other situations, initially for personal gain. He stopped police from arresting Greg for drunk driving, sabotaging bank deposits in a casino, and wrote a movie script that tells about the world invaded by aliens in the 14th century, claiming that all memories have been erased . The success of the film made him rich. Mark soon realized that lying could also be used to help others, such as preventing frustrated neighbor Frank Fossett from committing suicide. Soon after, Mark convinced Anna to go out with him again. She congratulated Mark for his financial success and acknowledged that he would be a good husband and father, but she was still not attracted to him.

Mark then received a phone call saying his mother Martha had a heart attack and rushed to the hospital. There, the doctor told him that Martha was going to die. She was afraid of death because she believed it would bring nothingness to eternity. Mark told her through tears that death brought a happy afterlife, introduced her to the concept of heaven, and she died of happiness. With the spread of imaginary news about death, Mark soon gained worldwide attention. With Anna's encouragement, he told the world through the "Ten Rules" (imitating the Ten Commandments) that he talked to "the man in the sky" who controlled everything and promised a generous return in a beautiful place after death. You do no more than three "bad things."

After some time, Anna and Mark were in the park together. Anna asked if he was married. He is now rich and famous and will make their children more physically attractive. Mark wanted to lie, but not because of his love for Anna, so he said "no". Meanwhile, Mark's rival, Brad Kessler, romantically chases Anna out of jealousy of Mark's success. Although Brad's selfishness and cruelty made Anna uncomfortable, she continued dating him and they were engaged. Before the wedding, Greg appeared and convinced Mark that he hadn't missed an opportunity with Anna. Mark reluctantly attended Anna and Brad's wedding, where he opposed marriage. However, the host told him that only men in the sky can stop the wedding. Both Brad and Anna asked Mark to ask "Man of the Sky", what Anna should do, but Mark refused to say anything and left I want Anna to choose. Anna went out and Mark acknowledged his ability to lie. Anna struggled to understand the concept and asked why he didn't lie to persuade her to marry him; Mark said it was "not countable." Anna admits that she loves him.

After some time, Anna and Mark were happily married to a son whose behavior seemed to have inherited his father's ability to lie.

At the CDC, Dr. Ally Hextall identified the virus as a mixture of genetic material from pig and bat-borne viruses. The work of treatment was halted because scientists could not find a cell culture in which the newly identified MEV-1 could grow. Ian Sussman, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, violated Cheever's order to destroy its samples and used bat cells to identify available MEV-1 cell cultures. Hextall used this breakthrough to start vaccine development. Other scientists determined that the virus was transmitted by the iron worm, and when the virus mutated, its basic reproduction number was four. They predict that one in twelve of the world's population will be infected with a mortality rate of 25% to 30%.

Conspiracy theorist Alan Krumwiede posted a video about the virus on his blog. In one video, he claims that he has cured himself by using homeopathy of forsythia.

By this time, the death toll in the United States had reached 2.5 million and the global number had reached 26 million.

Earlier in Hong Kong, WHO epidemiologist Dr. Leonora Orantes and public health officials combed Beth's contact tapes at a Macau casino and identified them as index cases. Government official Sun Feng abducted Orantes to help her get MEV-1 vaccine for her village, where she stayed for several months. WHO officials provided them with the vaccine and released it. When Orantes learned that the vaccines given to the village were placebos, she ran to warn them.

In a flashback, a bulldozer knocked down a tree in a rainforest in China, disturbing some bats. A man finds a shelter in a pig farm and puts down a banana eaten by a pig. The pig was slaughtered and prepared by a chef at a casino in Macau. The chef shook hands with Beth to spread the virus to her.

In feudal Japan, twelve-year-old eyeliner Ku Kubo raised her sick mother Sariatu in a cave near a village. He relied on the shamisen music provided to villagers to manipulate origami in a magical way to make a living, and told the story of his missing father Samurai Hanzo. Kubo couldn't complete his story because he didn't know what happened to Hanzo, and Sariyatu couldn't recall the ending because of her mental state deterioration. Sariyatu warns him not to stay outside after dark, as her sisters Karasu and Washi and his grandfather Moon King (watching him when he was a baby) will find him and keep him left That eye.

One day, Kubo learned about the Bon festival in the village and asked them to talk to their late relatives. Kubota was present but was angry that Hanzo had not appeared from the lantern and had forgotten to go home before sunset. Karasu and Washi quickly found him and launched an attack, but Sariatu suddenly appeared and used her magic to send Kubo away, telling him to find his father's armor.

Kubo woke up in a distant place and found the monkey-his wooden snow monkey charm-survived. The monkey told him that Sariatu was gone and the village was destroyed. With the help of Kubo ’s origami character, Kobanzo, they began to look for armor. Along the way, they encountered a beetle, an amnesia warrior, cursed as a spade beetle / human hybrid, but he believed he was an apprentice to Hanzo.

Kubo, the monkey and the beetle recovered the "indestructible sword" from a cave guarded by a giant skeleton. They took a leaf boat across the Long Lake and found "impermeable breastplates" underwater. Kubo and the Beatles swam down to retrieve it, and encountered a sea monster "garden of eyes". He first showed the victim secret eyes with multiple eyes to enter the victim, and then consumed them. Kubo was attracted to this creature, but when he entered, he realized that the monkey was the reincarnation of his mother. The Beatles rescued the unconscious Kubo and obtained the breastplate, but after returning to the ship, they found that the monkey was seriously injured during the fight and defeat of Karasu.

They went to the shore to retrieve it, and Sun Wukong explained that the Moon King ordered her and her sisters to kill Hanzo, but she fell in love with him, and the Moon King branded her with the enemy. That night, Kubo dreamed of meeting an elderly blind Raiden, who pointed him at the "invincible helmet" in the abandoned fortress of Hanzo. They headed there the next day, but it was too late, a trap set by Moon King and Wash. Washi revealed that the Beatles were Hanzo, and they cursed them to take Sariatu away from them and killed the Beatles. The monkey sacrificed himself, freeing up time for Kubo to use the shamisen to defeat Washi, breaking two of the three strings above. Little Hanzo provided an insight that the helmet was actually a village bell, and Kubo broke the last rope to get there quickly.

In the village, Kubo met Rayden, who met Rayden, who was regarded as the king of the moon. He offered to make Kubo's another look immortal, but Kubo refused. Raiden turned into a giant behemoth Moon Beast like Dunkleosteus and drove Kubo and the rest of the villagers to its graveyard. When Hanzo ’s armor proved ineffective, Kubo removed it and re-stringed the ukulele with his mother ’s hair, his father ’s bowstrings, and his own hair. He used this instrument to summon the spirit of the villagers' loved ones, showing the villagers that memory is the most powerful magic among all things and can never be destroyed. The magic of Kubo and the gods protected himself and the villagers from the Moon Beast, depriving him of his power and making him a mortal without any memory. Stimulated by Kubo's story, the villagers were compassionate and told Rayden that he was a man with many positive traits and accepted him into the village. During the subsequent Bon ceremony, Kubo was able to speak to the ghosts of his parents as they watched the lanterns of the deceased villagers turn into golden herons and flew towards the spiritual world.

2.Arrival (2016)

Plot

Hannah, the daughter of linguist Louise Banks, died of an incurable disease.

Twelve alien spacecraft hovered silently at different locations on Earth. Affected countries send military and scientific experts to monitor and research; in the United States, Colonel G.T. Weber recruits Banks and physicist Ian Donnelly to study spacecraft over Montana. On board, Banks and Donnelly contacted two seven-limbed aliens, who they called "Heptapods." Donnelly nicknamed them Abbott and Costello. They both began studying the written language of the alien's complex circular symbols and sharing the results with other countries. While Banks was learning the language, she began to have flashback-like visions for her daughter.

When Banks was able to build enough shared vocabularies to ask aliens why they came, they replied, "Provide weapons." However, China translated it into "use of weapons", prompting them to interrupt communication, and other countries followed suit. Banks argues that the symbols interpreted as "weapons" may mean "tools", and that Chinese translations may have resulted from their interaction with foreigners using the highly competitive winner-take-all game Mahjong.

Rogue soldiers bombed a plane in Montana. Unconsciously, the bank and Donnelly re-entered the alien ship, and the alien gave them an extremely complex message. Just before the bomb exploded, one of the aliens drove Donnelly and Banks out, leaving them unconscious. When they woke up, the military was preparing to evacuate in case of retaliation, and the spacecraft was out of reach.

Donnelly found that there was a time symbol throughout the message, and the text took up exactly one twelfth of the 3D space that the projection projected. Banks recommends that all information be allocated to twelve crafts, and aliens want all countries to share their learning experiences.

Chinese general Shang issued an ultimatum to his local alien spacecraft, asking it to leave China within 24 hours. Russia, Pakistan and Sudan have followed suit. With global panic, communications between international research teams have also ceased.

The bank did the crafts by itself, and then sent it off the transport bay. Abbott died of the explosion. Costello explained that they have come to help humanity, and in 3,000 years they will need human help. Banks realize that "weapons" are their language, which changes people's linear perception of time, enabling them to experience the "memory" of future events. Banks' vision of her daughter, Hannah, was actually a harbinger. Her daughter will not be born until sometime in the future.

When the bank evacuated the camp, it returned to the camp and told Donnelly that the foreign language was a "tool" in itself. Reflecting Sapier-Wolf's hypothesis about how language affects perception, those who master the language can perceive the future and the past. She has a trailer for a UN event to celebrate the newly discovered unity following the arrival of aliens. Here, Shang thanked her for persuading him to cancel the attack by calling his personal phone and memorizing his wife's immortal words: "War will not win, only widows." [10]

Currently, Banks has stolen a satellite phone from CIA agent Harpern, which was rare when the base was confiscated and made a call. The Chinese announced that they had stepped down and released their twelfth message. Other countries followed suit, with 12 spacecraft set off.

During the evacuation camp, Donnelly expressed his love for the bank. They talk about life choices and whether he will change life if he can see the future. Banks knew that, despite knowing their fate, she would agree to have a baby with him: Hannah would die, and Donnelly would leave them after revealing that he knew this.
