I read an interview with Nolan where he said that because he's red / green colorblind, he deliberately color grades his films to desaturate those colors and make the final result more accurate to what he sees.
Doesn't change the fact that bronze/ heavily pigmented ancient Greece is a horrible choice for such a treatment, but still interesting why he does it.
It's just so obviously a vacuformed plastic shell that doesn't fit the actor that's wearing it. Has no visual relation to any of the other armor styles in the film, despite supposedly being from the same culture, time period, and status level.
He looks like a futurized, Coppola's Megalopolis interpretation of classical armor.
Are you seriously trying to say that by not acknowledging fascists humanity, it's MY FAULT if they then act inhumanely?
Those are some convoluted hoops to jump through just to do some victim blaming.
If you side with fascists, and utterly forsake common moral decency, you are no longer worthy of having your humanity considered when society comes for you. Sorry, shouldn't have voluntarily placed yourself in opposition to all moral and ethical standards.
Have you ever been shelled? Or fired upon by a member of an enemy army who's trying his level best to kill you?
I have. It's not an experience I'm anxious to repeat. I think you're drastically under-estimating the average person's aversion to physical violence and the lengths the vast majority of people will go through to avoid ever being in proximity to it.
Successful rebellions start with demonstrations and build. The escalation of protest and response is necessary to build the kind of commitment a sustainable campaign of violence will require. You can't just conjure a willingness to run into gunfire for people who haven't been trained to do so, and thinking that you can just jump past the slow brewing of rage you need in the general population is idealist at best and naive at worst.
On the other, you're the only person in this entire discussion framing things in terms of open revolt. Collective action is NOT that, and presupposing the necessity of armed conflict could needlessly get innocents killed.
I'd much rather show up for a protest and have to deal with tear gas than show up expecting to assault the city and give them an excuse to meet us with tanks instead.
Edit - not to mention that a wave of people stripping the country bare of supplies and equipment as they move towards the capitol is going to do absolute wonders for the public perception of any rebellion. You'll have Mr and Mrs Public screaming for it to be put down, hard.
