It isn't too deep of a subject to think that he would not have known what his *true* face looked like. All I'm saying is that I think the realism would have been enhanced if he had seen himself in a mirror and not known who he was looking at because his face in his mind and his face in reality were not the same.

I mean if someone has the imagination and intellect to think the thing up and develope the script as fully as they did, is it really too much to ask that they explain how he knew what he looked like?
