The Truth is Written All Over Your Face

Unlike my friends, I'm not a huge fan of serial movies. I often watch one or two episodes, then I get bored. GossipGirls bores me, Glee disgusts me (sorry Gleeks), Modern Family makes me frown. Only two that have stolen my heart and blown my mind. One is How I Met Your Mother (not gonna talk about this one now), and the other is : 

Yes, yes, yes, this one has blown my mind away, made me gasp over and over and over again. It's about a man, Dr. Lightman, an expert of micro-expression. He geniusly spots murderers lies, just by talking to them and reading their faces, gestures and voice tones. It's so hard to believe that one can really detect others' lies only by seeing their faces or listening to their voices. I thought it was so judgemental. 

But it turns out that micro-expression reading has scientific proofs. "Lie To Me" is inspired by a figure named Paul Ekman. He is a micro-expression expert. I just just knew this after I watched "Secrets of Body Language" in History Channel. It was sooo interesting. 

What is micro-expression : A microexpression is a brief, involuntary facial expression shown on the face of humans according to emotions experienced. They usually occur in high-stakes situations, where people have something to lose or gain. Unlike regular facial expressions, it is difficult to fake microexpressions. (wikipedia.com).

There are 7 universal micro expressions : 

There are others 3000 micro-expressions Ekman found. He often reads politicians' micro expression, gestures, and voice tones. You can see it in Lie To Me too. Like this one, 

Ekman said, "Bill Clinton’s famous, 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky' is a big ‘ol lie revealed in the corners of his mouth, as well as in the “distancing” language he used, “that woman”. Or US vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, despite her winking bravado, showed her fear of the press by the position of her eye lids". In History Channel they said that when Clinton said "I never told anybody to lie" he shook his head, but not when he said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman".

In "Lie To Me" I found a speech of Barrack Obama, talking about how he respected McCain. When they zoom in to Obama's hand, his middle finger pointed unconsciously, like this. LOL

Well they say, "93% of human communication's non-verbal.When you found conflict between words and body language,you gotta trust the body language" 

What do you say?
