I think symmetry is just part of the whole realism genre(if you can pigeon hole it as such) and also I think that very often people in the media, ie newsreaders, especially in recent years, are chosen as much for their looks as for their journalistic or presentation skills.

How much of the average Hollywood blockbuster depicts average people is another matter, so i think we are looking in the wrong places for comparisons to "real" if we stay with film stars, TV presenters etc. Yes there is no doubt they are REAL PEOPLE, but as i said, more often than not their personal appearance ie, their attractivity plays a larger part in their selection.

My personal defintion of real or real life is one that is slightly out of the main stream media star spectrum and would center on the average joe, the plain jane, maybe personally I am looking at the opposite end of the beauty scale as a true representation of average. I juist think that if you randomly invited 1000 people into a room, you could easily pick out the pretty/handsome specimens and several hours later have forgotten the faces of the others. Not that the pretty ones don't deserve some attention or that there is an obvious demand and desire to render/create pretty, but that I think the ugly'/plain/forgettable people need not be forgotten ....If this makes any sense whatsoever.......
