What is the difference between "Are you being serious?" and "Are you serious?"

I found the following sentence on one of movies that I'e watched. I know that we usually use "being + adjectives" to talk about temporary situations. However, I cannot understand the difference between the following two sentences precisely. Therefore, I would be really grateful if someone could let me know what is the difference between the following two sentences.


Are you being serious?

Are you serious?

They are about the same. The second is more sarcastic, I guess.
