Film Review: 'Game of Thrones' Everyone Has a Life You Can't Define

Game of Thrones season 8 trailer
Winter is coming ......
The people of Westeros are finally beginning to experience the horror of the long night, a night of endless darkness, where snow and ice cover all signs of life and the Night King leads an army of ghosts across the Wall.
On the 14th, the final season of the phenomenal American drama Game of Thrones (Game of Thrones) begins, with the second episode of the eighth season airing tomorrow (April 22).
Based on the fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by American author George R. R. Martin, "Game of Thrones" tells the legendary story of several great families competing against each other in the fictional and empty continent of Westeros.
As the plot develops, several power camps are becoming clear: the North, commanded by House Snow and Wolf, is allied with Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons; Cersei, the lone Lion Queen on the Iron Throne, rules King's Landing; and an army of fey ghosts led by the ultimate boss, the Night King, is breaking through the Wall. ...... Some say that Power Play redefines good and evil, overturns our view of history and ethics, and is like experiencing a true story of the land of Westeros, like the Chinese mythology Journey to the West or the historical novel Three Kingdoms.
But if you ask me, the reason why Power Play has conquered tens of millions of Power Play fans is not only that the work itself has epic magic scenes like Lord of the Rings, but more importantly that every character in Power Play, even the small ones with just a few sentences, has a life that you cannot define.
Their good and evil, their desires, their choices, you can't think in terms of the usual "formula" of a film or TV drama, and you can't easily make a judgement, because you might accidentally be hit in the face with a reversal.
This empathy for the characters' difficult fates, but also for their wisdom, has made Power Play one of the most popular American dramas of all time.
Take for example the first female lead, the Mother of Dragons - Daenerys Targaryen. Just look at the appearance, the first appearance of the dragon family princess, completely a silly white sweet at the mercy of her brother, confused to marry the horse king, was poisoned, assassinated, gullible to believe the words of a witch indirectly killed her husband and the fetus in the womb ......
Just when you think the princess with her beauty and lack of wisdom is about to get her lunch, she is reborn and hatches three real dragons in the fire! You'll be inspired by her "true dragon blood" and there will be dragons soaring in the heavens of Westeros once again.
Just when you think she's going to easily defeat her rivals and reclaim her lost Iron Throne with her three dragons, she says: "Wait, I want to free the slaves and break the rule of the nobility!" Don't forget, she is the descendant of Aegon the Conqueror, the Dragon King.
"Conquest is deeply embedded in the DNA of the Dragon family, and the new generation of the Mother of Dragons wants not only the Iron Throne, but also the "Queen's Justice", and a conqueror with justice in her heart will be able to wield power for the sake of her justice.
"The Game of Thrones has always been about justice, but it cannot be equated with it.
Cersei, the lioness who was prophesied from a young age to be overthrown by a younger queen. Her life is perhaps one of the more clearly defined "villains" in Power Play.
But when you really look at her, she is the one who has been brought up to follow the Lion's "pay back what you owe" rule, and who owes so much to others. On the surface, she was the founding queen of the Baratheon dynasty, a woman of great honour, but in reality her husband did not love her at all. Her eldest son was poisoned by her own brother, the Imp; her only daughter was sent as a hostage to an enemy country, disfigured and abused by her enemies in a personal vendetta. ...... When the abuse became extreme, she went mad.
This time, her opponents are her scheming daughter-in-law, Little Rose, and her opposing bishop, the High Sparrow.
Cersei stood on the Red Keep and calmly watched the rolling smoke. Many spectators let out a gasp from their throats at this moment. Such a simple and brutal way of revenge was really very Cersei.
But was it cool?
No!
In the next second, Cersei's only remaining child, the young King Tommen, who loved his wife, little Rose, broke down from the tower and was martyred. It's never a "good read" in the way that Yankee Doodle Doodle Dandy is, but rather, it hurts, so much so that you can't help but feel the pain of each character's departure.
One of the most painful scenes in Power Play is, I'm afraid, the sacrifice of Hodor.
Hodor, a strong but mentally retarded manservant from Winterfell in the North, has been carrying his young master, Bran, who has been crippled on his back since the first season, away from Winterfell to escape the Fae.
Why does Hodor only say "Hoder" under his breath? This mystery is not answered until season six when Bran escapes from the Walkers. Bran learns to travel back in time to thirty years ago, but the Night King finds out about the crossover, and the Ghosts find the cave where Bran is hiding. To protect Bran, Hodor uses his body as a shield against the door, shouting "Hold the door"! On the other side of time and space, the young Hodor from thirty years ago seems to have heard the shout, and suddenly he falls to the ground, twitching and repeating "Hold the door ......", which gradually turns into "Hoder".
Hodor's secret is finally heartbreakingly revealed. Who would have thought that for thirty years, one man's destiny would be to hold the door and save another?
Hodor, a character so small that he has only one highlight moment in Power Play, has become a sharp pain in the hearts of countless Power Play fans. Some critics believe that the writers of "Power Play" have given a textbook demonstration of the setting of Hodor's character.
There are so many similar tear-jerking scenes, and if the end of Hodor's sacrifice for Bran was predictable, the "bloody wedding" of Bran's brother, the young wolf lord of Winterfell, left everyone breathless.
Robb Stark, the eldest son of the Guardians of the North, raises the banner of righteousness and goes south to save his father from house arrest in King's Landing, and at first he is called upon to do so, but at his own wedding he is destroyed by the Freys, who claim to "guarantee the safety of their guests". The young wolf is beheaded, and the young wolf is killed. The young wolf lord is beheaded and Lady Stark Catelyn's throat is slit. ...... The gruesome massacre reveals the true bloody underbelly of Game of Thrones. But is Robb himself really not responsible for the bloody wedding? A commander in chief, for the sake of his own love, tore up the marriage pact with the Freys, leading to the destabilization of the allied forces, and personally gave the enemy the opportunity to divide.
There are never easy victories in Power Play, and how should the epitaph for Robb Stark's short life be written?
In a sense, Power Play has created a whole new experience in film and television, with eight years of updates and a cast that has basically never changed. The audience has grown up with the cast, watching Erma grow from a fatherless, orphaned daughter to a top assassin, and watching the Three Stooges grow in height and intelligence.
We can't define the lives of everyone in the show, and Power Play can't define the audience's likes and dislikes. Cersei has her fans, Bear and the Mother of Dragons have their CP parties, and it's like this real life in a million different ways is playing out in front of you ......
However, there is no such thing as a good time. What will be the ending of the final season?
Like life, it is unpredictable.
