In the extras on the DVD of LOTR: The Two Towers, they show how they made a lot of the props and armor. Theoden's battle armor had leather inside that was embroidered with horse heads. It's something you never see on screen, but they did it for authenticity's sake, and so Bernard Hill would feel more like a king. The same goes with putting all of the chainmail links together by hand. They didn't HAVE to do any of this, but they did it anyway for actor immersion. The trilogy's full of little stuff like that. It's one of the few huge film franchises where the copious amounts of special features are all worth watching.

I think it was a neat cinematic choice on the behalf of Kubrick, even if it didn't have a deep meaning to it.

It's Kubrick. It had a meaning.
