‘There was always something disturbing in the show: a hunger for cruelty that never stopped. Incest, head cutting, tongue-picking, stabbing pregnant women in the belly, eunuch, castrated people, rape, crucifixion, children thrown from windows, children tied to a pole, people fed to alive dogs, more incest. And then the work had real genocide. The enormous heap of talent has been spent portraying even more baroque barbarism.’
Like all publications in the United States, The Intercept had to publish something on the final of the HBO series “Game of Thrones”. This is ours:
With the final of the “Game of Thrones”, it brings us to this point: While some of the surviving characters discuss how to build better sewer systems to prevent ordinary people from dying like flies, the camera slowly moves away and leaves them alone. HBO knows we don’t have the imagination to care about reality.
Despite the thrill of the series’s current Internet thrill, the most sane point of view of the “Game of Thrones” emerged years ago, in December 2016, just by coincidence of Donald Trump’s election, and was published on the Internet. it was not. Another HBO series was in the final of the first season of Westworld.”
At the end of the episode, Robert Ford, the director of the park, appeals to the crowd of executives and investors of the company that owns Westworld – some of the park’s busiest users. Since I was a child, ”he says, “I’ve loved good stories. I think the stories helped us noble ourselves. To repair what is defective in us, to be what we dream of being. He helped them all. What was that? Honestly, lies.”
Unfortunately, he says that people have learned that they edik do not want to change or cannot change”. So he wrote such a final that “there will always be all the things you enjoy. Surprises. Severity.”
Then, with intense surprising violence to Ford’s sleek audience, one of the robots points his gun and distributes Ford’s brain. At that point, other robots are involved, and the assembled people are beginning to slaughter the crowd.
It is so strange that HBO implies that the producers of the show felt hopeless enough to ask them to die about the human possibility, and that HBO’s well-off audience was hateful enough to deserve to be destroyed. But the curiosity of the “Game of Thrones olan, dominated by America’s most privileged liberals, shows that we do not understand that it is ourselves.
If you haven’t seen the “Game of Thrones, you should know that all the celebrations he receives are justified. Until recently, the script was profoundly satisfying for anyone who loved words. Acting was extremely accurate. Design and technical production was like magic.
But there was always something uncomfortable in the show: a cruel hunger that never stopped. Incest, head cutting, tongue-picking, stabbing pregnant women in the belly, eunuch, castrated people, rape, crucifixion, children thrown from windows, children tied to a pole, people fed to alive dogs, more incest. And then the work had real genocide. The enormous talent was spent on the description of even more baroque barbarism.
Of course, good stories always involve a degree of violence. By their very nature, people are closely related to violence, and there are good reasons. But because that’s true, the bad stories pumped by America’s entertainment factory are violent because they have nothing else to offer. The Game of Thrones, since its birth, was perfect for a mass that has always been plagued by bad stories filled with even more banal cruelty. Like drug addicts, we always needed higher doses to make our worn nervous system feel something. The core audience of the “Game of Thrones was people who were rich enough to afford HBO subscriptions – and thus reach almost all kinds of distractions – but still deeply bored.
Anyone with so much knowledge of history understands what it means to corrupt imagination. This is common among the elite of the societies in decline. In fact, the “Game of Thrones expresses this worldview from the mouth of Sansa, a provincial princess who is coveted by the sophisticated capital and who is part of the decadent elite.
In You have to make up a story,” he tells one of his servants, sitting on the pier and thinking about where the ships in the water are heading.
“Why should I make up a story when I know the truth?” the maid asks.
“Because”, Sansa answers, “the truth is always bad or boring.
This is completely wrong: if you can taste more than the most powerful mental flavors, most of the truth is not bad and exciting. In fact, we have the capacity to invent a system that will run everything with energy from the giant sphere in the sky. Using a small portion of our wealth, we can provide clean water to everyone on earth. We can devote our lives to creating something the world has never seen before: a true democracy.
But anyone who has spent time in the upper circles of America knows that many of those people believe in Sansa at heart. Their lives are so spoiled and garish that only extremes can attract their attention. Indeed, Trump – even when living the most extreme life possible as president of the United States – is so bored that all he wants to do is watch cable TV.
This is where the final game of the Game of Thrones brought us. While some of the surviving characters discuss how to build better sewer systems to prevent ordinary people from dying like flies, the camera slowly moves away and leaves them alone. Because HBO knows we don’t have the imagination to care about reality.
