i admit to never having seen a movie with M.C.
judging only by pictures is not easy, since i found some 4 or 5 pre-accident (i assume) pics on which he looks quite different to me in each of them.
i guess i'd have to see the last pre-surgery movie and the first post- one to be able to tell.
but considering how much a nose job can fuck with the whole face, after an even more extensive reconstruction i sure would expect a noticable difference.

it's interesting to consider how much under the influence of visuals we are, and as far as judging people goes - how major an impression facial features make. it's like a projection screen and everyone's psyche, just seeing the face, projects its own ideas and associations and feelings on the person.
it's completely subjective and to a great degree illusonary.
if i imagine that anyone could have his/her face practically wiped off by an ugly accient, leaving just a mess of burn scars or suchlike, while the person itself essentially doesn't change at all.. i wonder if blind people don't perceive the world more objectively..
