Short review of "Game of Thrones" - a historical drama in the guise of fantasy
Recently, the sixth season of "Game of Thrones" came to an end, and I had to sigh in my heart when I saw the Dragon Mother coming across the sea on a dragon and being the king of the northern realm. The little devil www.biquge.info became the hand of the queen, and the scene of kneeling before the Mother of Dragons poked my tears, and he finally found someone who valued his talents instead of accidents. There is also a way out for the dwarf and poor! Rise! Unyielding!
For this drama, the grand world view, many characters, intertwined branches, large sections of foreshadowing, unpredictable plots, fantasy and real display, combined with a magical charm. The main reason is that the author of the original "A Song of Ice and Fire", Mr. Martin's pen is too strong, resulting in this drama no matter how it is filmed, it seems that it cannot match the aura of the original book. However, the series also has places that are not up to the original book, with accurate casting of beautiful women and handsome guys, a group of amazing acting skills, big scenes and special effects smashed with money, and the harshness of excellence in details, and finally, the most important point is a large number of missing shots (I won't say that I fell into the pit because of the times).
For this drama, it is often compared to "The Lord of the Rings", but in fact, I think the two are not comparable at all.
In my opinion, "The Lord of the Rings" is a long-scrolled heroic epic, while "Game of Thrones" is a historical drama about power plots.
"Game of Thrones" is one of the few stories I've seen that is grand and subtle in its setting and ultimately beyond its setting. Mr. Martin has spent countless efforts on the setting to make this world real and believable and fantastic. Dragons, magic, gods, sons of the forest, strange spirits, etc., give this world a fantastical coat, but in the end, the core is a power struggle between different forces and different families, and a game of thrones between people around the Iron Throne.
The role of fantasy in this drama is far less than the attraction brought by the rollercoaster-like plot and characters with different colors.
This is a piece of historical history in Westeros, so true that we all believe it happened.
This not only made me think about whether the setting of the entire fantasy background often requires dazzling martial arts and tricky tools, but people can kill a large number of people just by relying on character creation, which is the real rafter pen. Sometimes, these complicated skills are just to cover up the lack of pen power, Jin Yong never let the protagonist keep taking props to upgrade his skills, he is full of characters and stories.
The difference between whether you can create a world is here, whether your setting exceeds your characters and plot, or whether the characters and plots can follow their own trajectories in the world you set, and the grievances and hatreds between them can find their roots, and will also lead to the final result. The setting of "Game of Thrones" is already very strong, and the whole story can go beyond the setting, which is why Old Man Martin is so awesome.
It's a pity that in the current environment of online writing, because of the reader's reading interest and because of the author's pen power limitations, there are a lot of awesome stories in general, even if it is the work of the great god. It is normal for online articles to have to sell festivals in order to buy cool points and ask for recommendations, I hope this society will give online articles some time to grow, and also give readers some time to grow, after reading a hundred books, you will be tired of the so-called routines, and then you will finally appreciate the charm of the real works that can become classics, the baptism of time will wash away the filth, and the big waves will screen out the real gold.
Finally, I hope that Mr. Martin will live a long life, I hope that the seventh season of "Game of Thrones" will come out soon, and I hope that a masterpiece comparable to "A Song of Ice and Fire" will appear in the online literature circle as soon as possible. Come on.
