i didn't read the books and i don't think that the weird facial features can be called evolution, based only on the fact of the last story (after the fall) is even further along than the korean story and halle berry looks like a hot halle berry with a bagelhead implant in her head and tom cruise looks like cast away tom cruise, they have no evolutionary changes imo and they're further along in time than the korean one.
I would like to put my own theory, and would like to avoid the whole "Yellowface" racism thing all together as i think that deters from the cultural issue of blindness, which is sarcastic cuz it deals with the eyes.
first off this is quote from the lead makeup guy
He says it's important to recognize that these characters are living over 130 years from now in 2144 Neo Seoul. ?What we anticipated was that in the future, countries and states would become more homogenized, so it wouldn't be absolutely necessary for anybody to be 100 percent any ethnicity. It could be a genetic mishmash of many cultures, so we didn't feel that it would be treading on Asiatic toes too much by turning Europeans into Asians.?
you can interpret that how you will, i'll give my own take,
white ppl can't do asian make-up.
i'm asian, my wife is asian, we can't have white ppl cut our hair, it just looks weird, she also can't have white ppl do her make-up, by this i mean that for anyone who has been a part of a wedding, if you were a bridesmaid(for which she was a lot) you usually goto a salon right before the wedding or have a makeup artist come to your hotel/suite and do the whole wedding party(the women). When she has a white woman do her make-up, she just looks weird (we won't go into, well why doesn't the bridesmaid do her own makeup then, this is all wedding stuff, and they have their own rules).
It's no different i guess than a black person going into a white salon, it's not gonna happen, i guess i don't know i'm not too well verse in that subject besides what friends tell me, and watching the chris rock movie "good hair".
anyway white ppl can't do asian make-up, even when they did son-mi's make-up as a white person, it was ghastly, she was supposed to be the white kid's slave dad's wife, i thought she was just a red-headed asian woman, then i thought, no, that's impossible for this time period, i guess she's supposed to be white. Then she's in that silly 1960's era as the fat asian lady with the dog that clubs mr smith, but she's really supposed to be a mexican cuz mr smith calls her a wetback, she looked like a hawaiian to me! no hint of mexican at all.
so of course if they're trying to make a white guy into an asian, they're just gonna fck it up pretty bad.
they did better with the chinese girl (the one that told sonmi to rebel)
