Game of Thrones

As a school project, we had to write a newspaper segment with our meanings on the program or film we chose to write about.

Game of Thrones or GoT for short, is a TV program that can be seen on HBO Nordic. This an amazing program, with dramatic scenes, a great script, and a lot of death. This program is recommended for nearly everyone, but it is not suitable for children.

The world of GoT is divided into four main lands, but the focus throughout the program is on two of them – Westeros and Essos. In the different lands throughout the world of GoT there are 9 different houses, and everyone and I mean, literally everyone is fighting in a battle to gain control over the lands. The GoT is a unique program and there isn’t anything else quite like it. With the battle over the throne you expect a little death to appear in the program, but a little is a BIG understatement.

With the Game of Thrones episodes, you have zero chance of being bored, every episode has at least one person who dies and there is always a possibility that it is your favourite character. Because unlike most series Game of Thrones tends to enjoy killing of characters you start to get attached to. In my opinion you should be at least 14-16 years old before watching this program, otherwise you might find yourself in quite a shock, with murder, suicide, sorcery, resurrection, war, sex, abusive behaviour and a lot and I mean a lot of drinking, it’s not the most suitable program for younger viewers.

The theme tune of Game of Thrones is an unforgettable tune that tends to get stuck in your head. It was written by a German composer called Ramin Djawadi. The music is instrumental and features one major theme, and the Main Title, which then accompanies the show’s opening credits. Any GoT fan will know the tune of by heart.

So, this program isn’t fit for all, but it is an amazing series that you should try out if you think you’re at a suitable age. Even though the show can be frustrating at times, with the amount of deaths that happen, it is still intriguing to find out what happens.
