The industry of liars has a long history. From the religious scams that use fanatical believers to cause trouble, such as "the sky is dead and the yellow sky is standing", "Da Chu Xing, Chen Sheng Wang", to the most classic financial "Pang's scam" in modern times, all of them have taken advantage of people's goodness, faith, and greed. Xiaobian selected five genius deception movies, each of which burned the brain, couldn't stop, and watched the IQ soar!

I admit that I didn't understand it the first time, and many of the relationships between the characters were not clear, and when I admired it the second time, I had to pay full attention to every detail to suddenly realize when the mystery was revealed. The film uses flashbacks throughout the film, completely overturning the audience's inertial logical thinking, telling you who is the ultimate boss from the beginning, but as the plot develops, you yourself begin to doubt your own judgment and position. By the time you can finally tell who the boss is, the script has completed another subversive reversal.
"When the fake is true, it is also false, and there is nowhere to do anything", after reading it, I silently read this sentence in "Dream of the Red Chamber" in my heart.

Gold medal director, double movie emperor, real events, Douban 9.0, enough to explain the wonderfulness of this film. Director Spielberg has interestingly set up two parallel and intertwined narrative threads of light and dark. Frank runs away from home, swindles, and creates different identities and IQ supergroups to form the main line, and he calls the police detective who arrested him on Christmas Eve, and after seeing his mother's new family, he says to the police who come to arrest him, "You take me away" becomes a narrative dark line. Hanks and Frank, who injected a taste of wisdom and foolishness into Carl, felt sorry for each other, making the cat-and-mouse game seem less cold and unforgiving.
Detective Carl is purely fictional and the "genius" liar Frank is a real thing, it is said that the real Frank plays a French policeman in this film, anyway, I did not recognize it, omnipotent netizens?

What should have been a thrilling crime thriller turned into an absurd spoof satirical comedy. This is also David O'Russell's usual style: exaggerated, colorful, ironic, full of energy. The film is based on a true political story in 1981 in which fraudster Owen Rosenfeld is arrested by federal agent Richie Dimoson in exchange for helping the FBI go undercover and infiltrate members of Congress to investigate the bribery of a senator.
