300 the movie?

[Narukami]

The second guy from the left has a lovely shield design.

Can it be the many statues of undressed Greek, mostly performing some sport, that gave the makers of 300 the idea the poor chaps didn't wear anything? I mean, the loincloths look like being there for the PG13 rating. :twisted:

That's possible, though one would think the production team would know better.

My understanding was that the director was going for the same highly stylized look that was used for Frank Miller's other novel-into-film Sin City. If so, as I remember it, the Spartans are wearing armor in Miller's graphic novel.

Perhaps the director had a change of hear? A different idea? A better idea?

Reminds me of stars who refuse to wear helmets that cover their face. Actors seldom have a problem with that, but stars almost always do. :roll:
