timeless epic

I watched both seasons of "A Song of Ice and Fire" in one go, and it feels great. No matter how the grand narrative is deconstructed or subverted, we always have a nostalgic feeling for the epic. That kind of grandeur, that kind of arrogance, that kind of transcendence beyond the reach of everyday things are the spiritual nutrients that we can only draw from epics.



The moment Ned Stark was beheaded caused everyone to let out a whimper from their hearts. Heroes never live long. "A Song of Ice and Fire" regards this sentence as a motto. In the first season of the plot, it took off the head of the most perfect hero in the play. He clings to the honor, and because of this, it is embarrassing to die. I think this is a real tragedy, seeing a great person fall, or a lofty value being trampled on, although I know it shouldn't be, but I also know that it is a last resort, and I can only let it perish.



Novels or TV series like "A Song of Ice and Fire" play with people's sense of justice. Unlike "Desperate Housewives" and other American dramas, they use unexpected suspense, which makes people addicted to episode after episode; as for the plot of "A Song of Ice and Fire", anyone with knowledge of history can guess. Out of one or two, but it is in the step-by-step plot unfolding that brings the expected ending to the fore that A Song of Ice and Fire shows its charm. We just want to see justice finally achieved, and we won't stop until then.



Although there are many things to admire, it has to be said that the plot of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is really scattered. I don't know how the novel is, but as far as the filming of the TV series is concerned, the director handled this point carelessly. Sometimes there is absolutely no connection between one shot and the next shot. This is not a literary film, so there is no need for such a montage technique.
