It is not only medieval violence and killings of key characters that characterizes television series Game of Thrones . Fantasy epic has no plans to tone down the explicit sex scenes.
When HBO’s stars meet the world’s press in London, before the season premiere of the fifth season, is on women and Series controversial sex scenes one of the themes actors gets the most questions about.
– I believe it is important to remember that we are not showcases a contemporary environment, said one of the actors who have played more demanding sex scenes, Emilia Clarke.
In the role of Daenerys Targaryen experiencing Clarke in the series to be married off and raped.
Several series overgepsscener has aroused debate, partly because TV makers go beyond the book’s original scenes to portray these as not -frivillige. Others criticize the series to use sexual assault as gratuitous shock factor and female nudity as a visual distraction to tell intricate, necessary background stories.
– We show a medieval society where women and men roles are much more separated than present day. Yes, one might say that in itself is sexist. But sex is part of the life, and also a part of our series.
Not gratuitous
Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark in the series, has practically grown up on Game of Thrones ™ kit. She began acting in the series at age 14, but says she has neither experienced sex scenes or violence in the series as problematic.
– No, I feel that it is very, very necessary. Nothing of it is gratuitous, and it was such women came up and forward in the world at the time. I think it’s appropriate. Game of Thrones try not to be a safe series, and it’s part of the reason that there is such a big success, she said.
Neither Carice von Houten, who plays the red woman Melisandre, see nudity as a problem. Her character sets several times without a thread in the series.
– I do not complain about naked women in the show. I think nudity is handled very well in the series, and as long as it does not become Sexist I mean it’s just good to show woman’s body. And my character is her body a weapon, it’s kind of an instrument, she said.
– Do not misunderstand me, it is not my favorite thing to record, it is a bit uncomfortable. Man exposes himself, and suddenly people talk about my nipples afterwards. It seems that people are more comfortable with seeing heads cut off than nipples, and I think that’s weird.
Adult audience
Also, Iain Glen, who plays Looks Jorah Mormont in series, describes the criticism of Game of Thrones as a woman derogatory as the “pure madness.”
– Firstly, this series aimed at older people, which is reflected both in theme and morality that always moves in a gray. And secondly is the world we portray a feudal society which very largely dominated by men, it is a patriarchal and old fashioned community.
In this context Game of Thrones woman marks contrary surprisingly strong and dangerous, he said.
– Looking at woman characters entered in this universe is deadly. They may not have the crown on his head, and they may not have a sword, but the poisoner, they kill, even small Aria is a murderer. And they are equipped with real, three-dimensional travel, he said.
– Imagine Game of Thrones without sex and violence, people would ask themselves: do you think we are 12 years old? If someone isolation will hang up in that they saw a pair of tits, yes so there really is something in their heads.
Male willingness
Several have pointed out that the preparation and the amount of female and male nudity in the series are powerful skewed. One of the show’s male profiles, Jon Snow actor Kit Harington, says he wants more nudity among men welcome.
– I think like it might be more male nudity. Sex is used as an instrument of power in the series, to manipulation. There are only allowing it to watch over the body of a man is not as controversial as to watch over the body of a woman. But having said that it is pretty much male nudity in the series, you see many just torsos in the series, you do not look the part, says Harington and pointing strategically down under the table.
– But will you really see it? I do not think you can show full nudity with men without being distracting, in a way. So yes, I think there should be more male nudity, but I do not know how to shoot a nude sex scene with a man without it looking ridiculous.
Newcomer of the fifth season, actor Deobia Oparei says he more than happy to help smooth out the balance of the series.
– I would have loved to show off my ass! Shoots Oparei, until the townspeople laugh from both co-stars and the press.
