Game of Thrones and Mickey Rooney (for English speaking people).

Surely if there had been a series of Game of Thrones in 1939 Mickey Rooney had played a role, but I ignore which one.

The Hollywood wunderkind had not been the young Edison, but any of these would-be kings or powerful lords, who swarm through the history of human ambitions, peeled cold and full of substantial clothes, as terrible bullfighters from an imaginary Middle Age. I rather imagine him as a bad boy playing with Peter Dinklage.

And it is that real life is a game of thrones.

The plot rarely is about a monarchy or what remains of it. At least the European monarchies try to maintain the status that would lose dramatically in the royal magazines and tv programes. Actions and reactions are justified or they have people that defends, protects and enhances the royal family image as the Windsor, which the tv serie would never be as cool as the Tudor one. Of course the film misrepresents and alters reality, normally and formally.

The scenarios in our times are about politics, energy resources, football, top models, and everything is coming out on television because otherwise it is not news. Discrete poor people whom no one knows.

In this world of Game of Thrones there is no church of any kind. That power which has weighed throughout human history, is now absent. The village is neither manipulated by bastards interests nor guided by men of good faith who face, without ambition, the stablished power, just to maintain justice and defend the oppressed rights.

Perhaps Mr. Martin, the author, did not want to get into other fights, he has quite enough  with vengeance and revenge which allow many pages to write.
