In The Invention of Lying, Mark and Anna went to a hotel,

In this scene the bartender does not agree with Mark:

Mark: They look fine to me.

Bartender: Well, you're stupid.

See here the bartender should reply "Yes, to me also" because of Mark's Fantasy Power, but he replies with "Well, you're stupid." Why?



Best Answer

Mark is stating an opinion, not lying about a fact. So, the bartender disagrees with his opinion, and shares one of his own.

Mark's power is just to lie, and people there just take it at face value.
