Medievalist here: that thing is fricking moronic even by Hollywood standards.
[...]
It’s not realistic AND it looks completely fricking moronic.
I love how he has an obvious scar right where the hole is.
I have to think a skilled warrior would just ram is sword straight through that hole all the way through his face and kill him while fighting at the half sword.
Wow, studio not wanting an actor they’re paying millions for to have his face completely covered up in title fight scene
>I know you’d been looking at Damon’s fat fricking face all movie, but if I go for historical accuracy and put a proper helmet on his head for five minutes you’ll have no idea who it is and we need to to know at all times! It’s not like I did this in the epic battle scene of Gladiator where I covered up Crowe’s face! >t. Ridley Scott
1. lmao anon you know they actually do that, right?
2. how much money do you think would be saved on matt's paycheck by using more stunt doubles?
3. theyre paying for his identity/face for the role, so maximize that
>the plot hinges on the mystery of whether or not a married women voluntarily committed adultery with a friend of the house >'OK let's cast one of the Hollywood's quintessential dreamboats and the ugliest man alive'
>weirdo creepy looking guy >astroturfed by media as a sex symbol >looks like a weirdo creep in the film >but his role is also spun that he's a sex symbol chad who fricks b***hes and makes the girl coom >yet he's also simultaneously made out to be a weirdo creep rapist
These choices were so confusing to me and could only be conjured up from the schizoprenia known as feminism
>it's impossible that the half-helmet is a representation for us, the audience, almost like a practical effect counterpart to the moronic idea of tracking and digitally removing part of the faceplate during the fight so we can see facial expressions which are usually consigned to never being seen in the reality of the situation but can be conveniently shown in cinema, all while retaining the idea that these men did in reality wear protection because the average viewer accepts everything at face value and would think a movie where they don't use head protection is a depiction of reality
you guys are so fricking stupid it physically hurts me to know you are alive
Realism gays when the film adheres to reality
Medievalist here: that thing is fricking moronic even by Hollywood standards.
it's not that stupid, no.
it would relegate this kind of helmet to dismounted cavalry working from behind a shieldwall with a polearm though
Were you there?
>LARPing homosexual here, i’m gay even by Hollywood’s standards
it's kino

Looks cool, that’s all that matters. Caring about practicality in films is for nostalgia critic tier ackshually dork homosexuals
no no no you don’t understand, we NEED to be able to see the actor’s face at all times or the audience will never know he’s a person!!!

Makes so much sense!
> Gladiator where I covered up Crowe’s face
When was Crow’s entire face covered?
Looks good! Bravo is right. Good call, OP.

Then just don't have the fricking hlemet at all. That shit looks so moronic
I agree. Than people would complain about that
Not really. Most movies do exactly that. Rarely hear shit about it. Scott is just a hack homosexual
What movies? Even Spider Man he takes mask off all the time. If not, just turns into Power Rangers
Just have another guy in armour do those scenes lol.

What did Scott mean by this?

They are both funny looking anon.
silence, moid
Now post him in the movie.
What a joke. They post ugly Black folk as Sexiest Man Alive
>'OK let's cast one of the Hollywood's quintessential dreamboats and the ugliest man alive'
funny thing is I don't know which one you're referring to
>it's impossible that the half-helmet is a representation for us, the audience, almost like a practical effect counterpart to the moronic idea of tracking and digitally removing part of the faceplate during the fight so we can see facial expressions which are usually consigned to never being seen in the reality of the situation but can be conveniently shown in cinema, all while retaining the idea that these men did in reality wear protection because the average viewer accepts everything at face value and would think a movie where they don't use head protection is a depiction of reality

I wish each act was actually different, like a Rashomon effect where details change based on perception and interpretation
such a let down
Is it like how Stallone agreed to star in this movie as long as they showed his face as much as possible and minimized scenes with the helmet on?
Some actors really hate NOT showing their face and get angry.
the helmet is dumb but this movie's real sins are the grey filter and the "THE TRUTH" crap
>it’s another thread where redditor anti medieval weirdos have a meltdown over colours existing
Actions scenes where only good party this #believeallwomen propaganda
if his face was fully covered, people would think he's a robot or something
how do we know his other half isn't a robot
then he would be a cyborg
>armor deliberately offers up a weak spot
>tailor your fighting style around anticipating strikes there
It's really genius.
Doesn't matter. He was proved right in the end and that's all that matters.
