When misfortune eclipses virtually every aspect of daily life, it is impossible to avoid the "mistakes." Yet the humble and hard-working trio never stops trying and hoping for luck, her own business, time at the beach, funding for school, and better days.The Village Next to Paradise first dropped at Cannes. "It is the first film shot on location in Somalia," said director Mo Harawe who attended this North American premiere screening at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The investment in Somalia paid off in terms of the film's authenticity

The ambient sound of music on the radio, traffic, waves, and wind, contributed to the realistic nature as well. "Wind is a character," said Harawe "so the human characters are not ever alone." Culture is a character too, and I enjoyed the immersion in Somali songs, stories, and landscape.

Martin’s wife once said that she will leave him if he kills off Arya or Sansa.. Tywin Lannister: Any man who must say “I am the king” is no true king.. During the opening credits, each cast member& #39;s name is accompanied by the insignia of his/her character's house.. Featured in Hollywood's Top Ten: Critics' Choice Nominees: Drama (2011).

What’s the consensus?

Main Title (uncredited) Written and Performed by Ramin Djawadi. Let’s say you’re reading these reviews and haven’t watched GoT yet, but now that it’s finished are considering the marathon. In this case, the consensus is accurate, and that is: Seasons 1-6: outstanding. Deep world-building, intelligent dialogue, epic set-pieces worthy of Hollywood, expert acting, detailed plotting, genuine surprises, great soundtrack used sparingly. GoT is worth watching for these seasons, definitely.

There are inexplicable ideas, inconsistent characterization and soap-opera dramas

Season 7: you suddenly notice the writing and plotting has taken a sharp dive downwards in quality. But at least the entertainment value is still very high, so it gets a pass. Season 8: this drop chasms down to depths you didn’t think possible. The writing has gotten so amateurish that the still-fantastic production values ​​are no longer enough to save it. If you ever enjoyed Lost but were amazed at how bad the final season was, you’re in familiar territory here.

Fatal for fiction

The biggest problem with the final season was it took us out of the story and got us thinking about its many weaknesses. We lost our suspension of disbelief. It also ruined the series-arcs to the point where a rewatch of the entire series is pointless. So can I recommend a GoT marathon for newcomers? Yes, the first 6 seasons are worth the disappointments later on.

But best series of all time it is not

It could’ve been, but dropping the ball in the final stretch puts it behind the following superior series more worthy of your marathon: Battlestar Galactica (2003-2008) Twin Peaks (all 3 seasons, plus the movie) Breaking Bad
