A Game Of Thrones


Como todos os livros que se transformam em filmes ou séries, faço questão de, sempre que posso, ver primeiro o filme ou equivalente e ler o livro completo no fim. Porquê? Porque após ler o livro, não poderei mais olhar para o filme da mesma forma.

Foi o que aconteceu com The Game Of Thrones, no qual deixei a série televisiva avançar para começar então a ler o primeiro volume da série A Song Of Ice And Fire. Fiz questão de ler o original, em inglês, e não me desiludi.

Mergulhar nestas páginas às cegas, pode tornar-se confuso nos primeiros capítulos, demasiadas personagens, demasiadas localizações, sem qualquer referência real para nós... Claro que para quem já viu a série, todos aqueles nomes ganham rapidamente um rosto e uma voz. Foi o que aconteceu comigo.

Ler esta história, foi como visualizar novamente cada episódio, só que numa espécie de versão extended, com novas cenas e acesso aos pensamentos das personagens. Ao ler o livro, os actos de cada uma ganham um novo significado, depois de percebermos os seus motivos mais íntimos.

Reparei que, pelo menos no que consta a este primeiro livro, a série foi bastante fiel, com excepção de ínfimos pormenores, particularmente em relação às personagens Daenerys Targaryen e Khal Drogo, o que é facilmente compreensível para quem ler com mais atenção.

George Martin elaborou uma história complexa, da qual fazem parte inúmeras personagens com profundidade psicológica, várias terras e povos fictícios, os quais acompanhou com o desenvolvimento de uma cultura, uma religião e até lendas e História Nacional.

A genialidade deste autor, merece todo o sucesso que tem tido e aguardo ansiosamente a oportunidade de ler o segundo volume da saga.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

  Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.  A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth. Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine.  The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom.

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

  As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor.  The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability.  Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
