The idea of toying with truth in a work of fiction is not new. For example, dramatic irony dates back to Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. And of course, Shakespeare popularized the concept of dramatic irony even further with works like Romeo and Juliet, and Othello.

In a film, it’s easy to take what we are shown at face value. However, some of the most inventive films share traits with the great literature of the past. With the right filmmakers, truth is not something to just spoon-feed an audience.

It’s something to play with; manipulating truth in a film can transcend the quality of the final product. It can make a difference between an average film and a really great one. This can also be considered a cheap gimmick, but it almost always benefits a movie.

This list will showcase 10 great times filmmakers decided to experiment with the theme of truth.
