hi so the chainmail sleeves on his fake hauberk for Fellowship start just above his elbow which means they made a second fake hauberk to go with the Gondorian armor that STILL LEFT BOROMIR'S AXILLARY ARTERY EXPOSED!!!!!!

like im on my hands and knees it wouldve been sooo easy to just extend the chainmail down just beneath the cuirass to provide the illusion of a full hauberk ESPECIALLY BC HES LIFTING HIS ARM OVER HIS HEAD!!!!!!!

also im obsessed with the leather accents on his undertunic that has gotta be SO sweaty

Who Let Him Out Of Minas Tirith Dressed Like This.

(I understand range of motion for an actor but there were better ways to do this from a character standpoint as well)

#the like. higher version of the fake hauberk sleeves works FINE when the actors' arms are down #for example: when Faramir speaks to Gandalf before riding out from Minas Tirith #but when you KNOW your actor is gonna have to thrust his sword into the air during an impassioned speech maybe #maybe fuckin. modify the fake armor SLIGHTLY so he isnt at risk of dying a Horrible Bloody Death due to a well-aimed arrow/sword #also like thats a fuckin undertunic whyyyy would you put leather there. you never see it. Because it is covered by other fabric. thats just #leather sleeves on an UNDERTUNIC?????? when youre riding out knowing good and well youre gonna be exerting yourself????#moisture is bad for leather esp sweat. makes it stiffen and crack if you arent conditioning it often enough. OR it has to be lined #(but even then a lining isnt gonna stop you from sweating into the leather. just makes it harder to condition)#so like????? what were we doing here guys. nobody's seeing his undertunic. thats just gotta feel gross!!#NOT TO MENTION THE FACT SEAN BEAN WAS CLIMBING UP A FUCKING MOUNTAIN IN THAT COSTUME SO LIKE????????#lotr #autism event :3
