| I’ve been a bit busy recently and haven’t had time to keep up with any Chinese news of any sort (and probably won’t have that kind of time from now on, so this blog will end up being pretty stagnant), but RedKemp found a short but interesting story about the Chinese version of Ugly Betty, which is coming out soon. The verdict: She’s totally cute! I totally agree with Redkemp that all those “very-cute-woman-with-glasses-and-braces = ugly” movies and TV shows out there are stupid. If Charlene Choi, Halle Berry, or some other very pretty woman had black-rimmed glasses and some ill-fitting braces, I’d be the first guy there to comfort them in their ugliness. Apparently Chinese audiences agree that she’s too cute to be called ugly. This article brings out that “Audiences hold the view that the “ugly girl” is beautiful, with a normal figure, big eyes and long hair, aside from the deliberate ugly costuming.” For once, I’d like to see someone truly unattractive cast in one of these roles; maybe if there were more “ugly” people on TV and in movies, the world in general would get used to it and wouldn’t be so obsessed with looks. Yeah, that’s not gonna happen, is it? |
