      @@J_C_CH He's not playing himself though. He's acting, so not sure why this even needs to be brought up. At no point in the movie did the story suggest that his character is also an Atheist. Atheists can play a character that believes in the opposite stuff that they do in real life.

      @@dagameplayer I think just about every fool that has replied to me has missed the point by a large margin. My point is merely humourous, Ricky Gervais is playing a character who invents the concept of God while he himself, the actor, doesn't believe in God. That's the funny, and quite ironic, part.

      I definitely think this is why most religions have some form of afterlife-heaven, reincarnation, or what-have-you. We're all scared of dying, so we tell each other "You're gonna be okay" until we all start believing it because we're too scared not to. Everybody hopes to die happy and unafraid, and believing that it's not _over_ over is the best way to accomplish that.
      The problem arises when you start shaming or hating people over it.

    I went to see The Invention of Lying at the cinema over 10 years ago. I'm sorry to say it wasn't a good movie. However, this was the one true good scene in the movie. A emotionally beautiful sad scene and Ricky Gervais's acting was so good at 0:55 - 1:43. You can feel his heart breaking. I have never faced that myself. My mother is only 62. I never got to see all my grandparents one last time when they died and I never got to say goodbye to my friends Beau. Starr. Chester and Milo when they passed on. Films like Invention of Lying. I Am Legend. Logan. No Time To Die really shows you the pain of loss.

    always imagined this moment being the crux of his lies, it is but not in the worst way. like imagine if he found out the doctor was ready to save her somehow and keep her alive but he was so entranced by the lie he didnt want to.

      I know its 3 months old but think of it the other way around:
      "Do people really believe we did nothing before we were born? That we just did not exist? What does it all count for if we were not around for the 14 billion years prior to being born?"
      We have no solid reason to believe that anything happens to "us" when our brain shuts down and turns off. When you turn your computer off it does not go to a realm of magic until you turn it back on again. It just stops "being". Same with us. The fact that this is all we got just makes our lives *more* valuable. Our actions *more* meaningful. And our responsibility to future generations that much more important.

      @@__Andrew I get what you're saying, and it makes sense in the context of what we know right now. But we also know that time is not linear, we just percieve it like that with our senses. So I think we are kinda thinking simplistictly about time, conciousness and death, as if time still passed the same in all universe, concious or not. I'm not saying there is an afterlife or not, I'm just saying that having a conclusion when we know so little about time and the nature of conciousness and perception is pretty much going to be wrong.

    How is she even able to say anything about death if she can't lie? Nobody knows what happens after death so how can she say that it's an eternity of nothingness?

      Without the invention of a consciousness beyond death, the imagining of it (which in this movie’s universe counts as “lying”) then the science that’s left when we remove imagination shows that our consciousness stops, meaning the thing we think of as “I” also stops. What we call a “soul” in our universe is only memory and diseases like dementia prove that is erasable and subject to consequences of the physical body. So through observation, logic, and scientific data ONLY they do know that’s what happens.
      They can be wrong. I’m sure in the movie’s universe people still believed wrong things before science showed otherwise, like that blood-letting cured plague, or that the earth was flat. The people of those times thought those things were true based on the science they had at the time, so they said them. They weren’t lying, they were just wrong.

    The mind fuck is: he's not lying. Even in " world where there is no such thing as lying" what he(the character) said...obviously came from the heart. Something like that isn't a lie. It only became a lie when he(the character) started doing it for commercial and publicized reasons as opposed to just a moment with Mom. See, its not that he( the actor) does not believe in God, for that is impossible, because those who don't believe in God, just hate God.

    Ah, nice idea, but Ricky Gervais just isn't that good with serious emotional outbursts. He's good with taking a funny scene to a "fuck you, viewer, why are you laughing!" scene (The Office UK), which I love, but not really the classic "cryimg" scenes
