The TV series that also fascinated Mr. Obama has many interesting things behind the scenes.
Game of Thrones is one of the most popular television series ever on HBO. Currently, the show begins its 7th season from July 16. Let’s explore the surprises behind the lens of this movie:
The presence of stars acting in “adult” movies
In season 4 of Game of Thrones, the movie producers invited a number of porn actresses such as Jessica Jenson and Samantha Bentley. In particular, the beauty from Australia, Aeryn Walker, really enjoyed her role in this 19+ TV movie.
The “nude” scene of the character Cersei Lannister (played by Headey) is based on a real historical event
Many viewers watching Game of Thrones were truly shocked by Cersei Lannister’s cruel punishment in the final episode of season 5. After confessing to having an affair with her cousin Lancel, she was punished by performing nude. city.
However, in a 2011 interview, Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin revealed: “The public mockery may seem brutal, but this scene was actually inspired by a historical fact of medieval England”.
The film was banned by the Turkish army
In November 2014, the film was banned in military schools in Türkiye because of its sexually explicit scenes, violence, and negative behavior. According to Cumhuriyet newspaper, this is not the first time Games of Thrones has caused trouble within the country’s military.
The entire Game of Thrones novel series has 1,842,762 words
Although some other sources estimate the actual number to be less than 1,770,000 words, it is a huge number nonetheless. The film is based on the best-selling fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.
The author’s original intention was that Jon Snow and Arya fell in love
In 2015, a representative revealed Martin’s original ideas for the series back in 1993. Those who have been watching the show are concerned about the intention for Jon Snow and Arya to develop a relationship. The reason is that the age gap between these two actors is quite far and the two characters grew up together like siblings. Martin’s original idea was for them to be half-siblings, so they could love each other.
At some points the actor wore real fur in the film
“The male actors don’t like wearing fur coats and we respect that. So we fake them instead of forcing them to wear them,” said costume designer Michele Clapton.
Animal protection association Peta has objected to the use of real fur in Game of Thrones. That’s why all fur costumes are restored from medieval costumes.
Dragons are inspired by geese
“The goose is really a scary animal,” anyone who has ever been herded by a flock of geese will surely think so. But it’s not quite as terrifying as fire-breathing dragons.
Sharing with Wired, the person responsible for creating the dragon image said: “We observed every action of the geese when they were on the ground and how their wings functioned even though they could not fly. From there we created a motion effect when the dragons took off.”
The actor who plays the blind role is also partially blind in real life
Actor Peter Vaughan plays the blind maester of the night watch from parts 1 to 5. This character is considered a living witness of the royal land. In real life, Peter Vaughan was also partially blind when he turned 88. In December 2016, he passed away at the age of 93.
