Don't Lie to Me

I found this short video that is related to Paul Ekman's list of basic emotions:

Also, I was thinking about what Jim Jarmusch said about Bill Murray,

how his face is really expressive and that he can make you laugh

just by moving an eyebrow or something like that;

so I was hoping to find an excerpt from Lost in Translation,

the scenes where they are shooting an ad and they're asking him

to make different faces. They are not the expressions Ekman is talking about

but it's a funny exercise in trying different expressions anyway.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything besides this:

And I also remembered this documentary series

about the human face on BBC called...well, The Human Face.

It's Monty Python's John Cleese and Elizabeth Hurley

presenting a different subject each time,

and on this particular episode Paul Ekman was the special guest:

I'm sorry this post is not very illustrated,

I'm still trying to figure out how it can be done :)


P.S. I changed the link for Paul Ekman's video,

I hope this one is not in Swahili.
