And your picture shows it as well, it's a metallic sheen (reflective), not a matte (light dampening) finish.
>>
>>221862621
Your photo has specular reflections. The op doesn't.
>>
>>221862621
Are you implying a heavily corroded bronze plate from the 5th century BC (3 centuries after the Odyssey was written, 7 centuries after the Odyssey took place) is in any way comparable to how a bronze suit of armor would look like at that time?
>>
>>221862696
It's not even that, it's that the armour on the set in the OP is very clearly not metal. It's non reflective.

Fucking kek, every orc extra that is not a cgi in LotR has better armor.
>>
>>221862772
Probably because you can't cross verify with any historical records to spas out and be.Autistic over
>>
>>221862772
Yeah it was made out of polyurethane but they at least bothered to provide an actual finish to the armour that that made it look metallic.
>>
>>221862055
Yup, that looks like plastic alright.

Any proof it was like that? Just looks like they assembled the pieces however they wanted.

The film would have looked so much more distinct and kino if they used authentic panoply armor.

Yes that's authentic, it's even explicitly stated that Odysseus wears one in the original text.

Every fucking frame of The Odyssey was unironically the ugliest frame I had ever seen in a film up to that point.

How did they make the film SO ugly? On IMAX film too. It shouldn't even be possible.

These would look so fucking cool on big screen, but probably nightmare to shoot in.
They would also make a cool visual trick by turning cyan patina through the weeks and months in the time the story takes place.

Unions destroy everything they touch and rely solely on the "without unionnns you wouldn't have benefits" myth.
>>
>>221867670
David vs Goliath is literally about technology being superior of genetics.
Goliath lost before the battle, he was just a big target to put rocks in.
>>221867594
Pretty sure the story takes place over 20years or so? The point is still that the armour would look better, and with wear it would look even more cool with presenting passage of time.

t. screenwriter
>>
Whover the king with the spine helmet was, the actor is way too young
>>
>>221867719
>a rock is superior technology to bronze armor
It wasn't about that at all, it was another story about how Yaweh is the best god and blesses Israel and David by helping them kill everyone around them
>>
>>221867693
they destroyed screenwriting, they destroyed photography, they destroyed set design and now we can't even fucking have nice costume design
>>
>>221867773
And the armour didn't help him at all since the sling was superior, he was just a big target, but lets agree we disagree.
>>
>>221867719
It was really just a mythololzation of how Alexander the great’s army functioned. Use rocks and slings to take out the biggest and toughest looking opponents fast and quick to break the morale of the rest.
>>
>>221867719
Goliath issued a formal duel to spare lives from both sides, winner takes all. David did not honor the duel, figuratively brought a gun into a sword fight and to no one's surprise he won. And then the Israelites went and butchered the philistines because why not. So it is a story of subverting the rules and morals of your enemies for your own gain. Effective, yes, but takes away your victim card if everyone turns out to hate your cheating ass.

I bet the costuming department wanted to do better stuff but the execs said that it was too expensive or looked boring. That's how this usually goes.

armor was a status symbol and super expensive
they would take care of it by oiling and polishing it
this is just armor sitting in a museum not being properly taken care of

No you expected passion and you got professionalism. Professionalism is doing exactly what you are told how you are told with acceptable quality, which is what you got in the movie. Passion is going above and beyond to the point of challenging the director just because you think it will improve the end result and you care. Passion was barely there in late 90s already, nowdays it is just professionalism.
>>
>>221866733

Bullshit. Humans have been using slings at least as far as 6000 BC in Levant. Potentially earlier but you know, leather strips don't preserve too well to leave archaeological record..
