I watched the finale with the mentality of watching the unfinished end, but after reading it, I didn’t feel that there was any unfinished ending.
A few days ago, I heard that the final season of Game of Thrones was unfinished, so I didn't want to watch it. Recently, I couldn't help but watch it out of curiosity. The strange thing is that although I don't like this ending, I don't think it's unfinished at all. I think Game of Thrones is still a great show because I try to think about the intent of the directors and writers. Let me tell you my opinion below, welcome to discuss.
In the final season, I don't think its theme is obscure. After a little thinking, it can be seen that the theme it wants to discuss is dictatorship and democracy. Unfortunately, I see all kinds of comments on the Internet are venting their emotions and dissatisfaction, no one Just stop and think.
British Lord Acton said: "Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption." This sentence is perfect to express the final season of Game of Thrones. We see that Long Ma is lost in the pursuit of power step by step. Yes, Long Ma has not forgotten her original intention of resisting tyranny and establishing a new world, but the scary thing is that in order to realize her ideal, she no longer sticks to the cruelty of the means, but slaughtered the city in anger, and slaughtered in the name of justice. Terrible lunatics, this has happened time and time again in human history, Hitler slaughtered in order to build his German Third Reich, Japan's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, Cambodia Pol Pot, in order to step the country into communism, put all the People were driven out of the cities, and a third of the country's population was massacred. In order to overthrow the Qing court's uprising, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established a system that was even more decadent than the Qing court, causing the largest population decline in Chinese history. In the final episode, after talking with the little devil, Snow reconfirmed that the dragon mother has completely changed. For her ideal justice, she can raise the butcher knife to everyone. In her eyes, there is no longer any difference between innocents. Either obey. Either destroyed, so the kindest snow in the whole play stabbed his lover with a knife. The director expressed his resentment against dictatorship and tyranny in a very tragic way. I still remember the little devil in the play asking snow: "If you ride on a dragon and have the ability to destroy everything, will your choice be like the mother of the dragon to slaughter the city?" Snow's answer is: "I don't know", this plot is amazing , Kind people always simply think that they will make a righteous choice, but the complexity of human nature is that good and evil are always changing. The most interesting thing about Game of Thrones is that they seldom create facial characters, the characters in the play Always wandering between good and evil, I think this is the best part of Game of Thrones, it is always naked and cruel torture of human nature.
Continuing to say that the finale that left the audience and fans the most dissatisfied, the green prophet who made people feel the most incompetent in the whole show sat on the throne, yes, this is a rude ending, and I don't like it very much, but try to think Looking at the intentions of the director and screenwriter, this ending is still understandable. Killing Long Ma is the director's attitude towards tyrants, and the Green Prophet's ascension to the throne is the answer given by the director. From the perspective of human history development, the whole is a process from dictatorship to democracy. Of course, this kind of democracy is only relative democracy. There is no absolute democracy in this world. We will not discuss it here. We cannot predict the future of mankind. But at least at this stage, democracy is the answer to the direction of social development. Only power with constraints is safe, and absolute power makes people absolutely corrupt. During the discussion about choosing a monarch in the show, Sam blurted out that he wanted everyone in the world to choose. Not only did I smile, but it turned out that Sam was the greatest thinker in Game of Thrones. What a clever arrangement. Of course, the director did not make Sam's proposal come true, but was ridiculed. If he really wanted to do that, it would be a bloody drama. So the little devil proposed that the Green Prophet be enthroned. The Green Prophet has no descendants and must be re-elected after his death, thus ending the hereditary monarchy and taking the first step towards democracy from dictatorship. This is my understanding of the ending, and why I say that although I don't like this ending, Game of Thrones is still a great show. It's really unfair that all the directors and screenwriters are angry on the Internet. Their intentions are not wrong. , the fault is that the character of Green Prophet is too weak from beginning to end, and no one likes it at all. If this character is made plump and powerful, this ending will definitely not get such a one-sided evaluation today.
In fact, if I were looking forward to the ending, then I hope it is darkness to the end. When Snow raised her knife to kill Long Ma, the precautionary gray worm deployed by Long Ma in advance shot Snow with one arrow, and Long Ma was furious and cut her throat to encourage Snow. The little devil was completely blackened. The people who brought King's Landing by snow, including the Onion Knights, were all slaughtered by the dragon mother. Sansa became the king in the north and raised a banner against the dragon mother who ascended the throne. Erya put the dragon mother in her own place. on the list. Long Ma once again staged the history of her father's mad king. Everything is just a reincarnation of human beings chasing power. Hehe, how, I believe that the director and screenwriter must have thought about this shooting method, but they chose an ending with a more hopeful meaning.
In the end, I refuted several opinions on the Internet that I was very opposed to. One was touting the so-called hacker leaking the script, what Long Ma was pregnant with Snow's child, went to give birth to a child and died in childbirth, the body was hung on the city by Euron, and Snow led the team After doing Euron, finally Snow and the dragon mother's child ascended the throne. Are people so lacking in IQ these days, don't they have the ability to think at all, and such a mentally retarded plot is worth blowing up. If this is done, it will really bring down Game of Thrones and become a standard Hollywood hero drama. Let’s talk about the Night King. In the understanding of many people, the Night King, a big boss who has been brewing from the beginning to the end, can’t die so quickly. It should be that all human beings abandon contradictions and fight the Night King vigorously to the end, but I think this is also A Hollywood ending that doesn't fit the spirit of Game of Thrones at all. Game of Thrones never wanted to describe something as superficial as pure justice triumphs over pure evil, so the pure evil of the Night King is destined to not be the end of the story. The love and killing of each other is just a foreshadowing.
To sum up, my personal favorite three American dramas are "The Wire", "Breaking Bad" and "Game of Thrones". The biggest feature of these dramas is that they never simply discuss good and evil, right and wrong, but are ambitious. Facing the torture of human nature, I really hope that everyone can watch the eighth season of Downstream Game of Thrones again. It is really not perfect, and there are reasons to be angry, but it is not without logic, and it is not cliché. This drama is still a great TV series, and its ideological depth has surpassed that of another Western fantasy masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. Looking forward to the day when the eighth season is rehabilitated.
