I've heard a lot of people recommend "Game of Thrones" years ago, and I haven't started watching it until the end of the final season.
Finished the third season last night.
Unexpectedly, the first season is already in 2011, and it has been eight years in a flash.
Although I have heard of this "magical work" many times before, I have never deliberately sought it out to watch it. I only remember that I once glanced at the TV in a certain hotel (probably with Bao Bin in Changtai), but I still felt that the pace was too slow and did not arouse interest.
If the earliest intersection with "Game of Thrones" was retrospective, it was when I went to Boston in my freshman year. It was 2011, and the first season had just come out (I didn't pay attention). My cousin asked me to see if I could bring him the original A Song of Ice and Fire in America. I went to the bookstore next to the school to help him read it, but it seemed that he found nothing.
I myself am not interested in this kind of European era drama, and most of the similar movies watched it bravely, so I never thought of following the trend and chasing this drama. The impression of "Game of Thrones" only exists in the sporadic contact information and own fantasies.
Last weekend, I originally planned to record the show and chat while "Reunion 4" was still in theaters, so that it could become a hot topic. As a result, it was not recorded because my friend temporarily ran out of time.
In addition to "Reunion 4", the recent hotspot is of course the launch of the eighth season of "Game of Thrones". Both of my friends have watched "Game of Thrones". If I want to chat, I have to start from the first episode of the first season. This size is not a joke.
In fact, after watching "Breaking Bad", I finished the first seven seasons of "Game of Thrones", but I haven't started watching it.
Until the opportunity to record the show, I started to brush from the first season last week.
The first impression is actually similar to the story theme I imagined, but the scene is far less grand. Especially in the first season, there are many indoor and court dramas, even the exterior scenes, the sense of setting is very heavy, and there are no magnificent war scenes. Whether it is a city view or a palace, there is no atmosphere as imagined, and I even feel that the budget is a bit crunchy.
The original expectation was that it might be an epic blockbuster like "Troy" or "The Lord of the Rings", but it turned out that it really didn't cost that much. Although the art is beautiful, the overall atmosphere is lacking.
At the story level, it is actually the Western low-end version of Warring States + some fantasy elements. I would be very interested if it were changed to the background of the Warring States period.
Originally, in order to be able to chat this Saturday, I made up for it crazy these days, but until I finished the third season last night, I found that I was exhausted.
In order to get into the story quickly, I watched the first season at double-speed appropriately, but then it was finished normally. In the second season, I found that the time was short, so I began to watch it at about 1.5 times the speed. By the third season, I found that it was still very stressful to finish brushing before Saturday, and the speed was increased to 1.95 times later.
When you watch a work at double speed, you have lost the meaning of watching it.
After finishing the third season, I found that there is still not enough time, so I simply eat the rest of the food. So I watched a few minutes of the fast food version of the fourth, fifth and sixth seasons on station B, but I did not see the fast food version of the seventh and eighth seasons. I watched the three-minute summary of the first seven seasons of foreign countries, even if I barely made it up. But what happened in the eighth season, I still don't know, I can only ask my friends when the time comes.
Just like watching "Poison Master", N seasons are also brushed together, but this time it really didn't hold back. After finishing the three seasons and watching the fast food, I found that although there are still various drama turning points, new characters appear, and old characters burp, but in the end, all the story lines have to be hurriedly collected back to one point. Going around in circles, in fact, the final thing can only be so simple.
This gives people a feeling of deliberately creating a long story line in order to add characters and branch lines, which is not good.
The rhythm is indeed still slow. I am used to watching movies, but there is still a gap in the drama after all.
A friend once mentioned that the difference between this drama and other dramas is that who is the protagonist and who dies. But after reading it, I found that it is not so exaggerated. The development and ending of each character are reasonable (at least so far), there is no deliberately written death of the protagonist, and the characters who really have foreshadowing are not dead. Other than that, there are all kinds of exposed meat. Indeed, it is quite tempting to shoot women with naked flesh (no feelings for Long Ma, like Melisandre?). Not only is it a feast for women, but men are not afraid to show their dicks.
If the filming goes well this Saturday, we'll focus on the actors in it. After all, there are already too many in-depth interpretations of the plot on the Internet.
I watched a lot of Long Ma's videos last night, and I am also more interested in Ma Wang.
Let's talk about the rest on the show.
I don't know when it will be picked up from the fourth season and finished.
Let it happen.
