GOT adaptation
So the first episode of GOT went along with the book for the most part. I think the most interesting scene was the one where Dani and Khal Drogo consumate their marriage because it is portrayed so differently in the book than it is in the episode. In the episode it is almost portrayed as a rape scene where Dani is extremely uncomfortable and crying. In the book she is more comfortable with it and its more of a connecting scene where you can see how connected the two characters are going to get and already are. I think this was a smart choice because it really sets up the character progression of Dani which is an amazing character progression. I think it would have been confusing if they portrayed it as it went in the book. Dani needed to be scared because she was in a new place being controlled and looked at as an object and for her to break down and really play into that role makes the audience feel a lot of sympathy for her and really adds to her transition. She goes from so low to so high and I think that this scene made that transition really successful in a this film adaptation. Besides that I really do love this adaptation thats why I wrote about it. I think it is done just so well, especially the acting. Looking at some interviews with the actors seeing how they got into their character was really fun because they are all so good and they all embody the characters so well and they add some twists to them, put their own backstory to them and I think that these actors really make the adaptation come to life, as well as all the other things, but the acting is superb.
