Liar Liar/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* So, I probably forgot some bits, so please bear with me. Max's wish for his father only to tell the truth is pretty wide, and I couldn't help but wonder a few implications... for example, is Jim Carrey's character forced to tell the truth in a matter in which he doesn't know the answer? What about matters of opinion, is there a "true" opinion he's forced to state? I'm really more asking this because I'm not sure if it was addressed anywhere in the movie...

** Well, the wish was that he tell the truth; it didn't give him psychic powers. If he didn't know the true answer to something, he couldn't give it, obviously. As for matters of opinion, the movie doesn't directly address it; presumably they'd either be exempt, because they fall outside the 'true/false' dichotomy, or he'd be forced to say whatever he thought was true.<br /><br />That said, there are some truths he said that could be construed as opinion; his impromptu roast of his superiors, and telling the woman in the elevator that people are only helping her because of her gazongas, for instance.
