going to be difficult to Game of Thrones cast off the burden of following the trail of The Lord of the Rings . Those who do not know about the history of George RR Martin and have been guided by the promotion of the HBO find no little resemblance to the Tolkien saga : a fantasy world, full of character, ambition and power as targets and with a legion of followers, some verging on fanaticism across the globe. To make matters worse, the impressive head of the series, with gold circles and characters recorded on fire, somehow pay homage to the film adaptation of Peter Jackson. Fortunately, once seen the pilot, the series does not look open to the public the novels of Martin to blow fakes or tricks that would ensure a massive reception. The aim of this production is unprecedented in the HBO is the highest fidelity to the book and undoubtedly the first to fall rendered at the foot of the series are the brave readers who have devoured thousands of pages and dozens of names assimilated with little hesitation. The challenge Game of Thrones now is the bug bite the rest of us, get them to forget the prejudices that most harbor on fantasy novels.
The pilot's opening scene is perhaps not the best. meticulous reproduction of the book, begins with an overview of the Wall, the great ice barrier that separates the Seven Kingdoms, a forest full of ghostly beings . It is without doubt a superb introduction, we finally plasma Images and great satisfaction, one of the more unknowns whose adaptation wake. It can also be a reason for rejection for newcomers phobic fantasy. Please be patient. You only need to go beyond the credits to realize that the beginning was not representative of the argument Game of Thrones. One of the great strengths of the novels of Martin, and that the series has managed to embody a wonderful way, is found in the characters, who have nothing of great . Their desires and ambitions, so worldly as any human, are the bulk of this great story of knightly dyes. Although we to a fictional world full of unpronounceable names, the backbone of Game of Thrones is the struggle for power. And their ingredients are not magic or fantasy, but the intrigue and mystery, much more capable of surprising special effects.
This first contact with the series has served mainly to get familiar with their players who undoubtedly will live a profound evolution over the plot. Although Eddard Stark and his bastard Jon Snow erected heroes of history and the house Lannister its antithesis, not expect this production a clear boundary between good and evil . In this story the less risky to predict the fate of the characters. But if anything has served to pilot Game of Thrones is to confirm the series impeccable, and above all, to calm the minds of skeptics. It shows the hand of the author of the saga behind the scenes because we have rarely been witnessed as reliable as an adaptation that HBO has offered us. And that can only mean one thing: the series will be exciting.
