"Looking at history and seeing later is all looking at the helplessness of people."

"Game of Thrones" does not tell the real history, but the violent outbreak of each event undoubtedly presents the audience with the wonderful and profound sense of traditional historical stories. In addition to this, I also saw another feature of history, the helplessness of a character.
This drama unfolds a very long picture scroll, reaching the Iron Islands in the east, crossing the narrow sea in the west to reach Dothraki (where the dragon mother gets the dragon egg, and carries her own dragon through the fire), the most To the south is the kingdom of Dorne, and to the north, where winter has come, is where the Night's Watch and the White Walkers will slay. The nearly 100 characters in the play are just pixels that fall on this historical picture by the influence of the outside world. They have been placed in this position by history, and all they can do is soak in it.
In fact, I like the role of Robert very much. In his eyes, his lover Lyanna is pure, and Robert is willing to start a war for her. He was heroic on the battlefield and unified the seven kingdoms, but he could not govern the country. What's more, his beloved failed to escape the war and was buried in the tomb of Winterfell. For the sake of marriage, he married the jealous Cersei, and he did not let Cersei replace Lyanna in his heart until his death. When he won the Seven Kingdoms, he was still young and wanted to govern the country well, but there was no one around him who could tell the truth, and the capital, King's Landing, was a city full of lies. In the end, his desire to govern the country with his own hands was shattered by the memory of Lyanna. Everyone may not think so, but I think Robert is a very tragic person in the play. The man has passed away, and reality has dragged this king away from everyone in the kingdom. There was nothing he could do. After the Prime Minister was poisoned to death, he invited his old friend Ned to help him manage the kingdom he built with him, but this would lead to various tragedies and frustrations.
Ned's mind should be more complicated than Robert's, but it may take a few episodes to go back and watch the first few episodes to get it right, so I won't go into details here. Personally, I think the first two seasons were really wonderful in terms of character building and plot, but in the next few seasons, the characteristics were transferred to the ups and downs and visual beast of traditional historical war dramas, and some mythological colors were added. I have to say that the drama The waving of swords, the collision of war horses, and the blood spurting out with the characters' shouts are really real and beautiful!
Back to the topic, let's talk about the half-protagonist John · Know Nothing. He longed to be seated next to his family at the banquet, but he had long recognized his identity as an illegitimate child. However, he then reluctantly became lord commander and king in the north in turn. It sounds very irritating, handsome people can fight and gain supreme power. The first time was Tully's election, and the second time was when the little lord of Bear City questioned other city lords. Jon Snow unprepared and reluctantly accepted the responsibility that the people gave him. He had to accept that it was not joy on his face, but gratitude and gratitude for everyone's trust and love. He would also take up this responsibility and always consider everyone's safety. After being stabbed to death once, he was really depressed about being the lord commander. In the seventh season, I don't know if Jon Snow will be comfortable in his new position, but no matter what, this is his escape. An inescapable fate.
Snow's hairstyle in these two seasons is very pretty

The most helpless but Cersei. She dreamed of becoming a queen, and she did it, but she could never win the king's heart. Fortunately, it doesn't matter, the younger brother is very handsome and can be his lover, and secretly gave birth to three children with his younger brother. Cersei can do things regardless, no matter how disgusting the means, she can accept it, but her love for her three children is absolutely pure. Her mission seems to be to protect the three children. Especially when Joffrey died, all she thought about every day was how to protect them. But it was of no use, no matter how much she did, her children would all die one by one. Sitting on the Iron Throne where both children have sat, and becoming a real queen from queen regent, Cersei has no choice but to watch her beloved children rule the kingdom, and has to replace them to prevent other families from taking power. How could she feel good, but she had no other way.

The key choices in history are hard because every choice has its own temptation, but in the end the principle of self-establishment selects the only option that grows from within oneself. In the end, people still have no choice. This is especially noticeable in film and television dramas. A character looks bright and lofty, but they all succumb to their hearts, and the decisions they make are actually helpless results. This helplessness is sometimes a tragedy, sometimes a comedy. For us as audiences and spectators, this is helplessly interesting. When we are also faced with such a choice, we really have to be a little cowardly. Sometimes we will make ourselves uncomfortable, but we will never let ourselves regret. Sound pessimistic? No, the most important thing in being a human being is not being happy. According to the Taoist priest, isn't it too tiring to be happy all the time? I would like to add that it is the most important thing not to leave regrets. At least we appreciate the above mentioned The three characters of , aren't they?
