Chapter 455: Bringing Game of Thrones to the Stage (14)

Cersei instructed Osney. Sir Kate Black confessed to the church that he had an affair with Little Rose, but Osney couldn't stand the torture of the archbishop, so he confessed to Cersei's murder of the previous archbishop and his affair.

At Tywin's funeral, Cersei publicly rejected Mestirell's request to become Prime Minister, so the Rose family began to slack off on her work, and when she lost power, she immediately returned to the court.

In order to forgive the Church from its debts, she also agreed with the archbishop to restore the Church's armed forces, laying the groundwork for the final defeat.

On the other hand, after the second son Tomman married Little Rose, on one side was a strong and cruel mother, and on the other side was a scheming wife, who was willing to be a puppet in the middle, and tasted the consequences of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and finally chose martyrdom in frustration after Little Rose died in the church trial.

Throwing away the struggle for power, this is simply the drama of "Peacock Flying Southeast".

However, with the leap of Tomman the Great, the de facto rule of the country fell back into Cersei's hands, and Cersei finally completed her transformation from queen to queen.

In the fifth season, Cersei's full-fruit street scene becomes the highlight of the whole show.

Because the original filming location, the Church of St. Nicholas in Croatia, was not allowed to be filmed, the crew had no choice but to temporarily build a simulated church nearby.

Emptying half of the town's residents, hiring 200 security guards, and keeping the scene secret, it is estimated that it cost more than $200,000 for the scene alone.

Although in the first five seasons of the drama version, the audience's hatred for Cersei cannot be described in words, but in this scene, you can feel the cruelty and sadness of the end of power.

Cersei, who has shed her gorgeous clothes, symbolizes the detachment from power, the proud queen who has fought against most of her body, and retreats back to an ordinary and helpless ordinary person, a woman who is at the mercy of power and desire.

The civilians looked at her body unscrupulously, and her dignity as the queen mother and her arrogance as the daughter of the lion family were all peeled off one by one.

This scene has epic shock and desolation, condensing the reincarnation of victory and defeat in the life of the queen, and the power is embarrassing.

Of course, it's not over yet, it's too early to say whether you'll win or lose.

From a certain point of view, among all the villains portrayed in the show "Game of Thrones", the most wonderful is Cersei Lannister, who is also the most powerful character and the most dazzling character in the entire continent of Westeros.

She doesn't have as many painful experiences as Sansa, she doesn't have the equipment of the dragon mother, and she doesn't have the legend and skills of Erya, but Cersei has her own unique persona.

She is the most powerful female character on Westeros, and she gives viewers a glimpse of how a woman is involved in Game of Thrones;

She allows the audience to see how a woman can become the most important and playable player in Game of Thrones;

She allows the audience to see how a woman exercises her power and uses means to rule the continent of Westeros.

Although the continent of Westeros under her rule has fallen apart and the world is in chaos, the King's Landing and the people of King's Landing under her rule seem to be the same as before.

It can be said that Cersei is the person who knows the most about power in the entire continent of Westeros, and when it comes to exercising power, I am afraid that there are few opponents on the continent of Westeros.

She is also the most politically savvy woman in the entire continent of Westeros, and she is a very politically powerful woman.

When people analyzed the dragon mother, they said that the main reason for the success of the dragon mother was her excellent leadership, so the main reason why Cersei was able to become queen in the end was her excellent political power.

If Cersei is asked to lead one or several armies to fight the world, she may not be able to, but if she balances the forces of all parties with her political power in troubled times to maintain a stable state, and can hold one side of the territory for the final battle, then Cersei's set will play very beautifully.

Therefore, the analysis of a character cannot only look at the surface, the analysis of Cersei mainly analyzes the political power of Cersei, and sees how she uses her political power to achieve her goals step by step.

But when comprehensively analyzing Cersei's political power, we must first talk about the two basic problems of Cersei as a character in the play, and only by solving these two basic problems will the analysis of Cersei's political power be clearer.

The first question is what kind of person is Cersei?

The audience will see that Cersei is actually very lacking in maternal love, because her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to a little demon.

Therefore, Cersei's personality is very similar to her father, strong and domineering.

Of course, she also inherited the genes and talent of the Lannister family that is unique to playing with power.

Later, Cersei tells Jaime that he is the stupidest person in the Lannisters, but this is true, Jaime did not inherit the kind of power and domineering that Tywin did not inherit, and the skill of political scheming.

Cersei inherited this from Tywin, and from the very beginning, Cersei was that persona. Strong, domineering, proud, in fact, her character's growth experience and acquired environment are very important for personal growth.

Cersei's ability to grow into a queen of power is actually inseparable from her family and her family's cultural heritage.

This DNA is deeply ingrained in the depths of her humanity, and no matter what experience she encounters, this image only strengthens, not diminishes.

Viewers will see that Cersei went on a rampage to hunt down King Robert's illegitimate son and kill him.

This, in fact, is Cersei's revenge as a woman.

The second question is why Cersei is the most hated woman in the entire continent of Westeros, and where does Cersei's hatred come from?

What a person will do and what she will do in the end depends on what kind of emotions she has in the process of experience.

What is certain is that whatever emotion arises in the course of their experience will have a decisive impact on what they do in the end.

Cersei can finally become the queen, and her crazy revenge is actually rooted in her hatred. So how many sources of Cersei's hatred does it have, and who exactly is the person she hates?

She has planted hatred because of one person since she was a child, and in the end, this person deepened her hatred, and this person may be a little devil.

Because of the birth of the little devil, her mother was killed, so Cersei hated the little devil, and later the little devil directly killed Tywin, Cersei's father, which deepened Cersei's hatred for him.

This is a very important source of hatred, which is the hatred of killing parents. This is the first and most important kind of hate.

The second type of hatred is a woman's hatred of her husband.

Every woman will fantasize about her beautiful life in the future, and have a handsome, loyal and capable husband, which is the most worthy of a woman to show off.

When a woman shows off to other women, the first thing she shows off is how good her husband is.

However, Robert is clearly not, and he does not meet Cersei's requirements except for his honorable status as king.

He's not handsome, and his private life is chaotic. Even if Cersei doesn't love Robert, then as a queen, Robert is messing around with flowers and grass outside, and having a lot of illegitimate children, which is also a very face-losing thing for Cersei, which will affect the dignity of women.

It just so happens that Cersei is another person who is not allowed to lose face.

So, in Cersei's hatred, there is this hatred for Robert. Robert failed to give her a life of a woman's fantasy.

Although she also has love, her love can't be spoken, because it is indecent.

The third type of hatred is a mother's hatred for killing her child.

All of Cersei's children died before her, the eldest son Joffrey, the second son Tomman, and even the daughter.

Cersei, like all mothers, loves her children very much, even more than any other mother.

So, as her children died one by one, Cersei's hatred deepened little by little, and eventually it evolved and deepened, becoming a hatred for everyone in the entire continent of Westeros.

These are a few important sources of Cersei's hatred.

Of course, there are many people that Cersei hates, she hates the little devil, she hates Robert, she hates Eddard Stark, she hates the sparrow, she hates the nun who tortured her, she hates Little Rose, she hates Daenerys, she hates Daenerys.

It can be said that the people on the continent of Westeros, everyone who has crossed paths with Cersei, Cersei hates.

This hatred of hers is not anything else, it is not the kind of deep hatred, this hatred of Cersei originally came from the hatred of a woman.

It is the deepening of women's hatred step by step, and finally evolves. It can be said that it is this hatred that drives Cersei's motivation.

Women's hatred is different from men's hatred, sometimes there is no deep hatred in men, men's hatred mostly becomes anger, sometimes men's hatred can be adjusted and resolved, but women's hatred is often irreconcilable and irresolvable.

A woman's hatred is in her heart, and the deeper the hatred, the more severe the revenge.

Let's talk about Cersei's 'talent' in politics.

The first and most important one, and one of the most important and exciting episodes in the entire Game of Thrones, is Cersei's bombing of the church, killing Cersei, Little Rose, Little Rose's father and brother, as well as Cersei's uncle, Cersei's cousin, who became a lackey of the Sparrow.

It's a brilliant revenge.

Not to mention here, in the nearly twenty minutes, the audio-visual effects presented in the TV series include music, including the plot, including the characters, and so on.

Let's just talk about the bombing of the cathedral that Cersei planned.

This episode is a very good example of Cersei's political power.

She took advantage of the sparrow, took advantage of the trial, and Cersei was in a weak position at this time, but a politically strong figure should have the ability to turn disadvantages into advantages, and it just so happened that Cersei was like this.

She brought back the situation she had been in in a weak position.

Of course, the sparrow is also to blame for being so stupid as to let Cersei's fruit parade through the streets and judge Cersei in the church.

Cersei agreed on the surface, behind the layout.

Because Cersei had to agree, at this time the power of the sparrow was in full swing, and those who knew politics knew when to bow their heads, because bowing their heads was to better raise their heads.

Cersei had already made a plan, and although she agreed, she didn't go, she buried the wildfire.

Just wait for the day of judgment. Poor Sparrow was as stupid as ever, he underestimated Cersei's methods too much.

At the same time, I am too confident, and if I want to be a good player and participate in the game, I can't be too confident, and I can't take my opponents lightly.

Eventually, Cersei blew up the cathedral and wiped out all of her hostile forces in one fell swoop, leaving people speechless and deterring the rest of the opposition.

In this way, people with strong political power are able to turn crises into opportunities, to reverse unfavorable situations and to develop in their favor.

Here, the only thing Cersei loses is Tommen.

After blowing up the cathedral, Cersei has no enemies in King's Landing, and King's Landing truly ushers in Cersei's time, and she sits on the Iron Throne.

However, Cersei's sacrifice was also great, she paraded naked in the streets, lost all her dignity, and her youngest son jumped to his death, leaving no relatives except Jaime.

But what does this mean for a female politician?

In some ways, the bigger you want something, the more you may need to pay and sacrifice.

If a person with strong political power wants to bear his gains, he must first endure his losses.

Another plot is even more proof of Cersei's super political power. When Snow and the Dragon Mother take the ghouls to King's Landing to negotiate with Cersei to unite against the Night King.

The audience will see that Cersei ostensibly agrees to the little devil's lobby and promises to send troops, but she is a hyper-realistic politician who sees nothing like what Snow and the others see.

The Snow may be a little more noble, for the sake of all the people of Westeros, which is idealistic.

Cersei is a realist, she doesn't care about other humans, after the death of her own child, she doesn't value the life of the living anymore, she wants her own stable rule.

So on the surface, he promised the Snows, but behind the scenes, he assigned Euron to let his fleet take the Golden Army over to fight against the Dragon Mother.

Here, Cersei's plan is very clear, her vision is also very clear, and she calculates very accurately.

She expected that if she went to fight the Night King, she would definitely die and even lose more than half of her troops, and when the time came, how would the remnants of the Dragon Mother fight against her own complete army?

And Cersei saw a glimmer of hope, that is, the dragon mother's dragon was not invincible, and she saw the dragon mother's dragon change from three to two, plus there was a huge ballista.

That's why Cersei is so confident, she calculates well, this is the ability and ability that a politician should have.

She made a promise, but she could not keep it, and she knew in her heart that even if she did not fulfill her promise, no one would object, and no one would say about her, because there was no one in King's Landing who could resist her forces.

The whole of King's Landing is only at Cersei's orders.

However, Cersei was still overconfident, and she didn't expect the Dragon Mother to slaughter the city.

However, Cersei has no way out, and she can only choose to do so.

I believe that if Cersei were given another choice, she would still choose this way. Because she's Cersei!
