English funny man Ricky Gervais' new comedy The Invention Lying opens nationwide on October 2. Gervais plays Mark Bellison, an unremarkable screenplay writer who lives in world where humans have the inability to tell lies. But when something clicks in the brain of this "loser" of a man, Bellison becomes the first person on the planet capable of saying something that wasn't (since there's no such thing as telling lies, there's no recognition of there beinh something called the "truth" either).
In a world where there's only truth, the inhabitants of that world are all mostly insensitive, selfish and without any self-consciousness. Basically it makes everyone mean pricks. If you had to be truthful all the time without fail, would you act like a prick?
