"They are monsters of cold and death, hating steel, fire, and sunshine, and all life with warm blood. They rode pale dead horses and led armies of the dead, swept through villages, cities, and kingdoms, killing Thousands of heroes and soldiers. The sword of man cannot stop them, neither old and young nor women and children. They hunt down maidens in the frozen forest, and feed their necromantic servants with the flesh of human babies." -- ---- "A Song of Ice and Fire Volume 1: Game of Thrones"
Although the spoilers on the Internet have already turned this episode into a sieve, I was still very excited when I saw these characters that we have followed for seven years gathered together. This episode is the most important episode in the seventh season, and it is also a very important episode in terms of content of the whole drama. The duration reaches 81 minutes. Not only the budget has reached the movie level, but even the duration has reached the movie level. In the previous articles, I liked to imitate Mr. Martin's POV method for analysis. Today, let me analyze it from the three aspects of " friends, lovers, and family ".
friend
As the main content of this episode, the Dragon's Nest meeting is also the reunion of many main characters in this drama after a long separation.
First up is Podrick and Tyrion. When Podrick first came to Tyrion as a squire, he was still a fool, a dwarf and a fool. This combination was everyone's favorite combination, but Tyrion did not have any dissatisfaction or abuse towards him, from time to time. Give some pointers to this simple and honest young man, and Podrick also saved Tyrion's life in the Battle of Blackwater, and did the duty of a squire.
Although Podrick is now a qualified squire by Brienne's side, he will never forget who made him a real man with an honest heart. " I'm glad you're still alive ." Although Podrick's expression was not rich when he said this, it could be seen that this was the most sincere thing he could say to a friend.
Another pair of friends who had formed a friendship during the battle met with less enthusiasm. In the beginning, choosing to be with Bronn was Tyrion's expediency, a cunning dwarf and a mercenary with only money in his eyes. On the basis, however, it continues like this.
From the trial by martial arts to the battle of the Blackwater River to the arrangement of secret meetings with the Lion Brothers, everything Bronn did seems to be from the point of view of interests, but it went beyond the point of interest. Although this "Damn. Black" Sir Water River" exudes a refined egoist air about him, but his friendship with Tyrion is genuine. "Nice to see you again", "Me too", these seemingly casual conversations are actually tacit understandings between two old friends.
Another pair of friends also met at the convention, but their "friendship" came from a fight that nearly killed each other. At the beginning, because of the young Arya, the Hound and Brienne started a desperate fight. Although they both knew that the other party would not hurt Arya, they could only choose swords to face each other for their own ideas. The friendship between them can be regarded as acquaintance without fighting. The other party's strong martial arts and firm belief have left a deep impression in their hearts. Therefore, when they meet again, they will use a tone of mutual respect for dialogue.
When we talked about Arya, we saw a very rare smile on the face of the hound, which was really surprising. Obviously, the hound was delighted that the "little bird" that he had protected at the time was now able to spread his wings and soar. . And there is another detail, that is, neither of them looked directly at each other when they talked, but when the hound laughed, the two smiled at each other and looked at each other, as if saying " thank you for protecting her " to each other.
In addition to a few old friends who met at King's Landing, there was another pair of old friends who met at Winterfell, Sam and Bran. Although the hurried encounter between the two outside the Great Wall was short-lived, they left a deep impression on each other. Although both are the weakest members of Jon's side in terms of force and command, they have a vital role to play.
Bran's superpower is of course needless to say, but he still needs Sam's help. We can see in the play that although Bran is a wirelessly networked supercomputer, it does not have the automatic retrieval function. After Sam provides the keywords , Bran finally found the key to Jon's pedigree in past images. It can be seen that the two people who have a harmonious relationship are a rare "intelligent" talent for Jon.
spouse
It seems that the kings will choose the position of the Dragon Nest because of site and safety considerations, but there is actually another deep meaning behind it. Tyrion said that in the time of the Black Death, the Dragon's Nest, the Dragon's Nest was a place of fear for everyone, but in the late Targaryen Dynasty, there were only a few dragons in the Dragon's Nest that were weaker than dogs, and the dragon was stronger. She also ended up dying in this dragon's nest. Now Daenerys walks into this place as the only blood of the dragon family known to the world, which is undoubtedly a disgrace given to her by Cersei.
After that, Cersei gave her another disarm, that is, trying to use Eddard Stark's honor to divide the "Daenerys-Jon Alliance", but to everyone's surprise, she never died Jon, kneeling, declared his allegiance to Daenerys. Jon's approach is stupid, but it's touching, and while it includes the impact of the dialogue between him and Tormund in the first episode, and Jon's openness, but for Daenerys, it's The best proof of love. So on the boat heading north, the two finally merged together. Although the Targaryen family has always practiced brother-sister intermarriage for the sake of pure blood, Jon and Daenerys are aunts and nephews . , and it is also the will of God in the shadows.
Several families are happy and some are sad, this pair of lovers finally rolled together, while the other pair of lovers turned against each other, that is Cersei and Jaime. In fact, the two turned against each other, because Jaime became more and more like a real knight, while Cersei became more and more like their terrible father Tywin. In the face of the terrifying creatures that threaten all living people, the gentleman and magnanimous James thinks about how to do his best to help the Northern Alliance resist the invasion, but Cersei, who believes in pen and paper tricks, starts a series of small actions at this time, pretending to be. Deploying the powerful Euron fleet and pretending to be generous are actually all to maximize their own interests without a fight.
In the past, Cersei was stupid to James, but he could tolerate the folly of his lover, but now Cersei is cruel to James, and he hates the most who longs for the light. The breakup of Cersei and Jaime's love is actually a difference in values . "No one can escape from my palm." When Cersei said this, James lowered his head helplessly. He knew that Cersei, who was both a relative and a lover, had completely fallen into darkness. . To James, this woman with a firm eye on the chair is no different from the mad king Aerys who sat on the Iron Throne, but he can't kill the king again, because that is his lover, So all he can do is leave disappointed.
A pair of joy and sorrow, and a pair of lovers are faced with life and death. From Joffrey to Tyrion to Rams, none of Sansa's "lovers" really entered Sansa's heart, but it was "Littlefinger" Petty who really shook Sansa's heart. El Baelish. Littlefinger pulled her out of the fire pit, pushed her into the sea of misery, taught her to be patient, taught her to be tricky, taught her to govern the country and taught her to pretend to be flexible. The true love between them is only a distorted love, and this love will inevitably lead to the complete destruction of one of them.
Although Bran has the ability to see through the past, for Sansa, what Littlefinger has taught her is an important basis for her judgment. "Assume the worst" was the last trick that his lover taught him, and it completely woke Sansa. In every previous conspiracy, Littlefinger could hide behind many people to calculate, but now in this Winterfell, there are not so many shadows that allow him to hide himself, and the conspiracy will naturally be exposed.
This is actually the inevitable fate of Littlefinger. As a "Julien" type character (the protagonist of the famous book "Red and Black"), it is his inevitable choice to use all kinds of strategies to climb up. However, it is really difficult to break through the boundaries of classes. It's a tough business, and even if you deliberately climb up, people in your same class can easily wipe you out, because people are born, and you try your best to get in. Chaos is the ladder. Many people try to climb up, but fail, never have a chance to try again, they fall and die. After making countless people fall into the abyss, Littlefinger finally fell down the chaotic ladder. And Sansa's tears and the words " I will always remember it in my heart " are the final proof of his love.
family
The Hound and the Magic Mountain, the brothers who have been grumbling since childhood, were taught in the first episode of the competition. Obviously, the Hound is not the opponent of the Magic Mountain at all. Now, the two who have been separated for a long time meet again, but they are not the same as before. The Hound has become an ideal and rational warrior, while the Demon Mountain has become a biochemical person who does not eat, drink or speak. It is difficult to say whether he still remembers his younger brother when he comes back from the dead, but from the expression of the Hound, it can be seen. It can be seen that the fierce elder brother has become like this now, and those grievances are not so important.
The Clegane brothers looked calm, while the Lannisters looked sinister. Tyrion sacrificed his life to meet Cersei in order to convince her to let go of her hatred to resist the invasion of the White Walkers, and during the conversation, Tyrion discovered that his sister actually had a cure, she was just out of fear, Fear of not being trusted by the Northern Alliance, fear of hurting the child in his womb.
However, Tyrion, who has always been thoughtful, was deceived and confused this time. Everything Cersei showed, including weak emotions and hints of pregnancy, were actually conspiracies. How could Tyrion think of his stupid and arrogant sister? Now it has completely turned into a venomous snake. Cersei learned very much from old Tywin, but unfortunately, she learned too late. Now that the era of war between kings is over, the decisive battle between light and darkness is the theme. Cersei is doing this now, no doubt digging her own grave. But I don't know who will send her on the road in the future. We see a worried Tyrion as Jon and Daenerys roll the sheets, and I think he might be aware of his sister's plans.
I've said Theon several times before that " cowards don't die, they will rise again ", and now he's finally starting to cheer up. And it was his conversation with Jon that was decisive for him. The two of them were both people who did not have wolf blood but enjoyed the treatment of children of the wolf family in Winterfell, but they took different paths, but old Eddard Stark always followed them like a shadow. Jon made the right choice, and it affected Theon. The brother's words undoubtedly gave the awakened Theon the last push, and he finally decided not to run away, but to save his sister and hope he succeeded.
"I miss him", "Me too". Standing at the head of Winterfell, the Stark sisters, who had completely eliminated misunderstandings, said these words with infinite thoughts on their faces. Although the old wolf king Eddard Stark died in the first season, he has always affected everyone in the Stark family. A lone wolf dies, a pack of wolves lives. In the face of the coming winter, will the wolf cubs survive the hardships safely?
When Jaime left King's Landing, there were snowflakes in the sky of King's Landing in the South. In the play, there are also rare empty scenes of falling snow. This kind of "wasting" of time has never appeared in the past. I think this is telling us that a terrible winter is coming, and no one can escape the threat of the army of death. It was the first generation "King of the North" Brandon Stark who built the Great Wall of Despair with magic back then. Now that the Great Wall has collapsed, will another Brandon Stark create a miracle again? Let's wait and see.
Finally, a word about spoilers
Yesterday, the Resurrection account of Vicious Tongue Movie published an article, which released all the plots of the final season of "Game of Thrones" revealed by hackers on the Internet, and also said, "It's not my fault for spoilers, it's HBO's failure to live up to its expectations, everyone. Don't worry, HBO will definitely change the script after such a big mess", it's just shameless! A weak lock on someone else's home is not an excuse for your burglary, much less an excuse for your hype.
Here, I also want to tell the audiences that my analysis of the plot must be about some plot content. This is not a spoiler. How can I parse the plot without talking about the plot? But I watched the writing after the resources were officially released. If you don't have time to watch it, you can watch the drama and then watch what I wrote. The so-called spoilers on the Internet, you just look at it and know it. There is no need to leave a message under other people's articles and say "Spoilers said, what happened to so-and-so", this is not only to show that you are a fool Meaningless.
Good night and love you.
