Reflection to Game of Thrones


          I recently started watching a TV series called Game of Thrones and I want to talk about it. It is an Americanc epic fantasy  television series created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels. The series, set on the fictional continents of Wasteros and Essos at the end of a decade-long summer, interweaves several plot lines. I think that it is very fascinating, popular and successful and absorbing. The series explores issues of social hierarchy, religion, civil war, sexuality, crime and punishment. According to sayings, it is the most recent big-budget work to have contributed to the popularity of the fantasy genre in mainstream media. When you watch film, you will see this. It received widespread acclaim by critics, despite the fact that its use of nudity has been criticized. I think that these critics are right. I also believed that the serial is very successful, popular, magnificent and big-budget work but there are too much nude scenes in it. It has exceptionally broad and active fans all over the world. Additionally, I want to talk about how many awards they received—two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Drama Series, a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Television Series – Drama, a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation in Long Form, and a Peabody Award. Peter Dinklage won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film for his role as Tyrion Lannister. The settings, characters and plot elements of the novels and the TV series are derived from European history. A principal inspiration for the novels was the English War of Roses (1455–85) between the houses of Lancaster and York, reflected in Martin's houses of Lannister and Stark. I started to watch this film because of the fact that it’s a historical one. I liked it very much and I advise you to watch it. 

This video is beginning part of the serial. I liked the music which is in this video. I wanted to share it with you.
