A restrained encounter A quiet farewell

With the collapse of the Great Wall, Game of Thrones is over, and with it this summer.

Although this summer is long and hot, when the cool wind really hits, there is a kind of unbearable loss. Because the end of summer means the countdown to the year begins.

Although this season of Binghuo was rushed and embarrassing, when the subtitles of the seventh episode appeared, there was a kind of sadness that was hard to let go. Because the end of this moment means that the end will also come.

Although the spoilers on the Internet have already made all kinds of details into a sieve, it does not affect the feeling of watching the show, because it is not the simple story direction that attracts fans today, but witnessing the fate of these characters in person.

Compared with the previous seasons, this season has been criticized very much. The rhythm of the fast-forward button is pressed, the logic is difficult to scrutinize, and the plot is relatively dull: Except for the dilemma of the fourth episode, most of the time it is before the decisive battle. The repression of the fierce army.

Even with so many controversies, I still like it because its theme is reunion: relatives, friends, and confidants who have been separated for a long time meet again in a karmic meeting, which is really emotional.

Wolf Brothers and Sisters: Bran and Arya return to the Eastside and meet with Sansa. Compared with the excitement of Jon and Sansa reuniting last season, the meeting between them is much restrained. Bran, who has become a prophet, has a dignified and expressionless face, while Sansa and Arya, who were originally emotionally estranged, have gained a subtle understanding of each other after their respective ordeals.

Lions: Tyrion comes to King's Landing again to meet Jaime and Cersei. Although they are in different camps, and despite the love-hate relationship for half a lifetime, the origin of the same family is difficult to let go.

In the last episode of the Dragon's Nest Conference, the characters of all parties gathered together, and it also allowed those who had had an intersection of fate to meet again.

Tyrion and Podrick: Seeing his loyal and clumsy squire finally grow into a qualified knight, Tyrion's eyes are more gratified. "I'm glad you're still alive." This was their sincerest wish for each other.

Tyrion and Bronn: The "friendship" of this pair of brothers in need is based on money, but this mercenary who only sees profit has done a lot of things beyond self-interest in the name of seeking profit. . After the two casually gags, they said polite words "nice to see you again" and "me too" without looking at each other, but these are the most sincere words in their hearts.

Hound and Brienne: The last time two people who didn't know each other met, they fought a mortal fight for Arya, and this time when they talked about the little girl again, their tone of voice was a rare lightness and relief. The Hound even showed a rare smile. This smile expresses all the tenderness that is indescribable.

Jaime and Brienne: The tenderness of the two facing each other when they said goodbye last season is still vivid, and the brief stare at the goodbye expresses a thousand words. No wonder Cersei next to her glanced at her and frowned impatiently.

Of course, the highlight of all encounters in this season is the meeting between Long Nv and Guo'er, oh no, Jon'er. The couple, who were destined (with the screenwriter's strong match), finally joined forces.

Compared with other gatherings where they don't have much ink but can speak a thousand words, their role in the scene is really enough. However, the lack of foreshadowing of emotional development seems deliberate and hasty, which really makes me and other melon eaters who are looking forward to the love of my aunt and nephew unsatisfactory.

The reason why the reunion is emotional is that meeting each other gives each other a reference to the past, reveals the traces of growth, and reminds the ruthlessness of the years. They had all had peace and comfort before the chaos.

And since then in the troubled world, which of the characters who have survived has not been through catastrophe and been devastated.

"The upright and kind-hearted Snow was gouged out by the cold blade, the romantic Jaime was tragically severed, the lost Theon had no choice but to survive, and the witty and kind Tyrion was even criticized by thousands of people!

Long Ma achieved an incorruptible body through fire, Cersei endured the pain of annihilation and took the throne, Sansa endured humiliation and finally became the Lady of Winterfell, Erya witnessed the tragic human being and turned into a cold-faced killer"

The essence of growth is not to be good, but to become complex. Everyone is no longer who they used to be, but when they meet, they remind you that some things will never change.

When Arya and Sansa stood at the front of the East City, they remembered their father and said softly: "I Miss him." "Me too."

When Jon said to the bewildered Theon, "He's been in you all the time. You're Greyjoy and you're Stark."

Couldn't hold back the tears. Some people have long gone, but they still affect you.

Season 7 plays up the pre-sacrifice solemn tone in a quiet and restrained way. According to the leaked script for the eighth season, most of the protagonists will receive a lunch at the end. The old horse is really ruthless and does not miss any opportunity to abuse people.

But isn't growth so unpredictable? The beauty of the past is still vivid in my eyes, and the difficulties and dangers in front of me are already oncoming.

May you go away for half your life and return as a teenager.
