美國(guó)著名作家歐亨利的小說(shuō)《最后一片葉子》,描寫(xiě)患肺炎的窮學(xué)生瓊西看著窗外對(duì)面墻上的常春藤葉子不斷被風(fēng)吹落，她說(shuō)，最后一片葉子代表她，它的飄落，代表自己的死亡。貝爾曼，一個(gè)偉大的畫(huà)家，在聽(tīng)完休易講述完室友瓊西的故事后，在最后一片葉子飄落，下著暴雨的夜里，在墻上畫(huà)出了一片“永不凋落”的常春藤葉，編造了一個(gè)善良且真實(shí)的謊言，從而維持一段即將熄滅的生命之光.Part1ThelastleafTwoAmericanMoviesaboutlyingTrueLies(1994)LiarLiar(1997)
