Or, would Logan have gone looking for the good-looker in the photo if he were ugly, or had lost one or more limbs? These kinds of stories/movies are romantic in more ways than one. The prince is always handsome, the princess always beautiful; even the villain is usually handsome in a sinister way. (Haha, when Beauty fell for the Beast, it would have been a hoot if he turned into a guy and she stepped back, exclaiming "Ew, no improvement!")
Very rarely, the Powers That Be in Hollywood produce a movie in which the plain guy gets the girl.
Or, for a more apt example, I cite Hairspray, a perfect answer to the question, "Would he keep the photo if she wasn't beautiful." Of course, Link had the advantage of assessing Tracy in person. But he did make out with her photo!
Kinda strange - I'm rewriting a section now that I've been rewriting for some time - a very hard section because I want to convey something without coming across didactic or stilting the language - but it deals with photos and the image, how a camera was once thought to steal souls, the concept of simulacra and reproduction, the idea of the camera being analogous to human perception and thus the eye of the camera=the eye of the human, as the camera consumes the object through the image so does the eye of the beholder consume its object, and how consumption of the heart of the individual is an internalization of the image, now contained by the master subject. Nkay, and so that photo of Beth may be thought of as magical because it contained part of Beth's essence, her protection, like reverse voodoo. When Aces lost the photo, he lost her essence and her protection.
Or, as Wikipedia says, Melodrama is "usually based around having the same character traits, e.g. a hero (always the fearless one), heroine (the love of the hero, usually the one that the hero saves), villain (usually likes the heroine too) and villain's sidekick (typically gets in the way of the villain)."
I guess the villian's sidekick would be the Ben, since he interferes with his Dad's plans.
