Swords (less saber and checkers) occupy a number of weapons an honorable kinoshtampov Bashny.Net

Swords (less saber and checkers) occupy a number of weapons and unconditional kinoshtampov honorable first place, as to the realities of combat are very weak relationship.



first - they are huge. Not all, of course, the movies, but most of the swords look so gigantic that they operated under force unless Terminators, not living people. Well this is what we must have hands and arms to roll such a heavy subject. Links on "the old days" ("Yes, there were people in our time, when spring first thunder. Not that the current tribe, in the mist blue sea!") Do not accept: go to the Museum (Armoury, for example) and compare - even visually - REAL swords how small compared to the cinematic. Therefore, the wave of Hollywood "stars" blacked out "for steel" Plexiglas "thing" called swords (by mistake).



Second - swords embellished. Yes, no matter how silly it sounds, but "kinoshtampnye" Swords TOO fanciful and too richly decorated. Of course, if the sword performs a certain ritual function (in the style of "Cap of Monomakh"), here rubies and sapphires to the hilt, and scarlet, and chasing for the blade can spare. But in the movies such a "Jeweled" swords very often "black" chopped. And this ... nonsense, really. And well as savory during the strike will fly away any bryulik to handle, where it then look on the CPA ..., oh, on the battlefield?

And besides, REAL swords have always tried to make the best possible light. The logic is simple: the lighter your weapon other things being equal, the longer you'll be able to wave them under the nose of the enemy. And hung it all (though very precious tinsel), it will be just a little, but it's hard. Let by tens (or hundreds?) Grams, but heavier. And that's too bad - you get tired quickly, no?

Third - Swords invincibility. Especially in "good". No, the sword of the main villain, of course, will be severed by the sword the main "positive", it is not even discussed. But what is a sword blade of "good" - is unique. ALL chopped, cut, shred, and though there was one notch is okay! Figushki! In reality, during the "saber battle" weapons blunt very quickly, so the soldiers almost always carry a spare weapon (mace or ax).

Shield ... This kind of equipment is not very lucky. It is not clear, but kinoshtampah it takes more than a modest role. And do not decorate it, and the size of it does not shine, and in general - it almost never focuses props and production designer of the film. The only stamp that honored this subject protection - Mandatory fly apart into pieces after the first serious blow of the sword. Bach - and pieces. And that is typical - the hand that was on such a strike (even shield could not resist!) Sword hanging a broken whip, always alive and well.




Spear. This weapon a little more luck. Fascinating mind behind the mind the phrase "Spear of Destiny" has attracted the attention of Hollywood still "WMD" and they faithfully transferred to this subject almost all the cliches associated with swords. "Spear of Destiny", which according to legend the Roman centurion Longinus poked a dead Nazarene in the right upper quadrant, often appears in films like the wand of Merlin the magician, not as the actual murder weapon belonging to the Roman soldier 30s beginning of the millennium. But "simple" spears are good too: how far they had not been thrown, they will punch right through anything. Or all, of anyone. The latter looks particularly relish - on a dead sharpened stick, called a spear, and abandoned because of the horizon line the main character, strung (as Taranka on the rope) with five "ordinary" villains.



All kinoshtampy associated with the use of arrows should be in the "feet to worship" (as the progenitor) famous character of world literature - noble knight Robin of Loxley, nicknamed Robin Hood. Here and getting a boom in uh-uh ... "ass" of another, already stuck in the target, and the splitting tossed into the air jib, and "Shooting" with a simple wooden bow five (with the obligatory hit!) Arrows at once, and ... well, look at the different versions of "Robin Hood" and you all will become clear. It is clear - to the reality that it does not have any relation. Beautiful one ("Elf" Orlando Bloom with his tricks is worth something!) - But no more.

The battle scenes kills (literally and figuratively) POWER arrows. Fires do not even crossbow and the Fool knows where, but they fly so indomitable that easily pierce the unfortunate soldiers, no matter - those in lats or not.

Well, a couple of words about the "shocking Asia". Indeed, such a shock you experience when each, I emphasize - in every action movie a la "kung fu" characters are caught in a narrow yellow Asiatic palm arrows shot into them from five meters. Catscratch - and arrow caught "the waist»!



Of special note is a group of bladed weapons "toporoobraznoy" and "dubinoobraznoy" form - the actual fighting, and not very axes, clubs, maces, axes, etc. poleaxes Here, despite the seemingly limitless space for imagination, all extremely zashtampovannoe. MANDATORY frilly handle in the style of "fantasy" and bent, bend steel ornate blade. Although this kind of edged weapons has always been the weapon of the poor soldiers (well, they do not have money for the forged swords!). By definition, it should be simple as a rake and shovel homely. About indescribable lightness incredibly hard axes and cudgel in the hands of the heroes do not want to even talk.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the military-like "sekirodubinami" heroes kill all growl. It is those who with a sword, cut softly and gently, and "dubinonosets" pounding on the head with his gun with a such a terrible roar, rolling his eyes and spluttering.
