I would NEVER have believed this was the same woman….
The power of modest clothing.
Power of makeup as well
You should have seen the Waif out of her work clothes.
She’s extremely glamorous and looks fantastic for her age
My thoughts exactly
"We just kind of forgot to tell her"
They seem to forgot everything
"She certainly hasn't forgotten about us"
This actress has every right to bring criminal charges.
I bet they didn’t tell her so that they could get more honest reactions when they were filming. There are directors that put their actors through some serious turmoil to get the reactions they want on screen. It’s pretty fucked up.
@@lubystkaolamonola529No, she doesn't. She signed a contract and absolutely could have refused to shoot the scene.
"We were uncomfortable with the rape scene, so we decided to go with some old-fashioned torture. Please lie down here."
Leave it to D&D to "fix" a scene by literally torturing someone for real. They need to be called out for this more often.
😂 i was just thinking that! Failing upward is a skill
I doubt they hurt her on purpose. It was probably an accident or some thing went wrong..
I've also heard that they once said to the actress of Sansa that she would get a love interest in the new season
Mind you said season was the one where Ramsay rapes Sansa i guess that their idea of a "joke" quite an weird obsession for those guys
you missed the point entirely. the script written by Martin himself called for a detailed rape scene, the show writers knew that was unnecessary.
@@pinkace where are you getting this info? Far as I know Martin was barely involved in this season and never wrote scripts
A fake sex scene with regulations to keep the actors safe < actual torture, wtf
Come on it does not need to be fake you know...
Those sex scenes in GOT were notorious for not having regulations or keeping actors safe my guy
@@teleman07What does that even suppose to mean? Is it a joke?
@@fildariusv7045 Are you for real? How can you even think about any concept where it is not a joke, a satire or a critic?
You are dangerous.
@@teleman07 Indeed I am. Beware of me
The original scene would have been a very mountain thing to do.
Yh, the show is already 18+, why don't these ppl just act accordingly..they remove important scenes bc of woke bullshit n ppl's feelings
@@user-qv4bp7vg6usuch a weird edge lord take
Would he still be like that even as a reanimated corpse?
1 line and good acting would've been enough to get the point across
Especially since we know that the Mountain isn't really the type to slowly torture people (and is well-known for his horrendous acts), so the original scene would've been a lot more believable and in line with his character.
That being said though, didn't this scene take place after his death and "resurrection" in the show? I just assumed that the way in which he was revived pretty much stripped him of his free will and turned him into a (more or less) mindless slave who couldn't go against any orders given to him by Cersei. So while the original scene would've definitely made a lot more sense for an uncontrollable/unpredictable Mountain to do prior to his death, it wouldn't really be "in character" now that he's no longer able to disobey/violate orders.
Did you know “in the books” proceeds to talk about an actress’s experience from the production of the tv show.
Lol right . Didn't mention a single thing about the books.
It must be some auto intro he forgot to edit out 🤣
It’s not uncommon for these folks with a recurring bit, it prevents the voice process from getting repetitive
Oh wow I didn’t even notice that 😂 yeah neither of those scenes are in the books 😂
No no I think you’re mistaken this was in the winds of winter chapter 4 the mountain just did that. Like tf 😳
did i know that, in the books, a real life actor had a traumatic experience?
so within the story arcs of the ASOIAF books is a tv show set where GOT was filmed?
thats cool, i did not know that was in the books
My thought exactly
For fucks sake those two
😂
they are sick sadists like Joff and Ramsay
Dumb and Dumber moniker on full display.
You all loved them before the ending 😂
@@Ahmed-og2jmExactly, 😂. GoT fans ate all the controversial shit D&D put on screens for years!
intimacy coordinators needed to be on the set of this show
it genuinely doesnt sound like they ever were, does it??
Were created because of this
What are you on about? No one has come said they felt uncomfortable filming the sex scenes in the show and the fact this actress felt more comfortable doing a rape scene than one filmed attests to that. It was viewers who had issues with how brutal some of the scenes were not the actors. Sophie turner even talked about how much she loved that scene between her and Ramsey.
@Vidar93 Finally, someone said it lol.
@@Vidar93 You're listening to the testimony of an actress talking about a scene as "the worst day of her life". Also Sophie Turned has talked about seeking professional help after GoT because she was traumatised. Emilia Clarke has talked about feeling uncomfortable on the set and that she was only provided with a robe between scenes because Jason Monoa asked for it. She's also talked about being pressured to agree to nudity. And that's just at the top of my head, and 2 very famous, relatively powerful actresses. I can't imagine how more expendable actresses were treated. Making this to be a non-issue, which people who are too sensitive are making up, is misinformed at best and malicious at worst.
There's ah, way's to film this without actually torturing the actors.
Which makes this claim a bit strange.
@@Lilo-Abecause it isn’t true
@@Lilo-Aisn’t that the point being made though? They went with the easy option of just actually doing it, and giving no mind to the wellbeing of the actor?
@@Lilo-Ayeaah such a shame she got paid thausands to have wine poured on her face for a few seconds each shot if thats the worst day of someones life they need to get a fucking grip 😂😂
@@him050dan and dave defending their decision “uh yeah we just kinda went ahead and tortured Hannah for real because it was a last minute change and we were focused on getting very believable reactions from her. And given that it’s our process aren’t you glad we didn’t go ahead and show her being raped by a very large man?”
between this and emilia clarke being so desperately scared for her nude scenes in early seasons, it doesnt sound to me like D&D took very good care of their actors
It said in the script I had to get naked and have sex but I didn't actually think you where going to do what it said in the script!!
Maybe the issue wasn’t getting naked and acting out a sex scene as much as it is how the actor was made to feel during the process of doing so other than safe and cared for as a human being. Plenty of actors have described being made to fuel comfortable in such a vulnerable position.I don’t think it’s too much to ask that you’re not made to feel like a prostitute when you’re acting
@@theFez_and that's why intimacy cordinators became a thing (not sure if it was after or somewhere in the middle of the GOT show). From my understanding GOT is a major reason for them becoming a thing. Also I'm pretty sure the commentor is trying to say exactly what you're saying and I agree with the sentiment.
They didn't take very good care of their scripts in the later seasons of the show either.
Took care of their bank account though. Stop complaining
This woman is fiiine asf, the game of thrones shame lady was kinda scary 🫣
Scare-roused haha
Hear me out
She was playing a character, it's a thing known as acting
@@tomblebadil Whoa! No way! Are you sure? Its almost like it's her job and people know that actresses ya know... act.
@@tomblebadilyore vary smart
I mean the SA is still in the scene it’s just that the scene closes as it’s starting which is honestly better storytelling than just forcing us to watch it. One of the few times in the later seasons when Benioff and Weiss got something right.
Yeah, that's how I understood it, too.
And also: it's a 2 min scene, 3 seconds of which was the 'waterboarding'. I mean, don't get me wrong...I don't doubt, that it was an unpleasant experience. I choked, trying to drink from water bottle, while laying on my back, once. It's scary as heck and your first impulse is to want to jolt into a sitting position. Being tied down, would have been panic inducing for sure, even if you're just afraid of breathing in liquid.
I'm sure, there were many of scenes in bad/cold weather and such, that were probably very physically taxing for the actors as well. Having to stay in character, while freezing your ass off or doing fighting scenes or such. Not to mention all the s*xual stuff.
But this seems like a somewhat 'overdramatized' claim. Everything, from make-up and wardrobe and getting everyone in position and doing test runs and filming the whole scene, might having taken the whole day.
But I very much doubt, she actually laid there strapped down for 10 hours, while continuously being drenched in wine.
@@raraavis7782 Other people on the crew have talked about it too, it really does take forever when tv shows or movies do any kind of water (“wine” in this case) scene. Like a few years ago on American Horror Story, I was watching a behind the scenes thing and Billie Lourd
talked about how as soon as she saw that her character had a bathtub scene, she was dreading it because they take all day to film for whatever reason. All she had to do was sit in the tub for a few seconds while the other actresses gave her quick instructions on what to do (the tub was needed for time travel) and then she takes a breath and submerges herself. But it took 8 hours to film such a quick moment and she was a wet, freezing mess all day. Even though Cersei pouring that thing of wine doesn’t seem that long, they still do several takes from several angles and a bunch of other different reasons. She doesn’t blame anybody, it’s just what had to happen, but she’s talked about how it gave her nightmares for a while afterwards. I’m honestly surprised they even did it that way, it’s incredibly easy to aspirate and get pneumonia that way, especially doing it over and over.
@@raraavis7782 it would've been on and off for about an hour or two hours if anything which is still shit. But I don't think she said it was 10 hrs of her being ( the actress) water boarded for that long but the character was supposed to be water boarded for that long. It would be against the law and she might've died.
Fr. I guess the dummy didn't watch it.
Because you enjoy same sex scenes doesn’t mean everyone wants too…B&W completely ruined the show turned every strong character into soft tissue
Another stupid thing in the show was to pretend that the people of Kings Landing will not rip Cersei to pieces after the sept was blown up with all the priests and the official queen inside ,in the same day that the young king has ‘’killed himself ‘’ , at that moment all people from kids to solidiers and nobles would’ve been , off with her head , divine punishment , to the guillotine !
Yeah. The fact she suffered no political blowback from the world is very very poor writing. She would've alienated every noble with relatives in that temple and every religious citizen of the Westeros. Even among the rank and file of the army there would be immediate unrest.
I get that in her madness she would believe to be solving a problem and not considering all the others she would create. The fact that she faced no real immediate consequences was just stupid writing.
While I definitely agree and point out that the entire theme of the series is actions have consequences and violence is always met with more violence. I would think the only thing I could think of that would support the non reaction was the Lannister’s army were in control of Kings Landing and the public couldn’t have defeated them.
What was really stupid was how easily Jamie sacked High Garden. In the books and the series the Tyrell’s army was one of the largest and best in the 7 kingdoms. Fighting a defensive war against an invading force would have taken a year before the Lannisters would have broken the gates. By then the Queen of Thorns would have gotten word to Danny who would have brought her dragons in to assist. High Garden would have never fallen to Jamie before Jamie’s army was set on fire.
@@barnabusdoyle4930 Its nuts how they were endlesly pomping out lannister soliders all over the continent even they are at the end of a continental war
About taking of Higarden is nearly imposibile for Randyl Tarly to take the title of southern Warden when against the Hightowers ,the Redwynes houses that were blood related to the Tyrells
@@flavius5722 Yeah, I think that D&D borrowered some writers from Disney to complete the final 2 seasons. It was so bad and I would have done the Night King battle in a completely different way, having the NK take Winterfell with the defenders shattered and fleeing into caverns to escape and running south with the NK marching south after them. Force Cersei to see the threat coming and a joining of forces to finally be able to beat the NK and his hordes. Kill Danny and her dragons in the battle and John sacrifices himself to take down the NK. All armies in ruins, Cersi can’t hold power and Kings Landing turns on her forcing her to flee. Kingdom is ruined and no one wants to be king of this mess. Final scene of the show is a dead Bran being pulled by a White Walker into the far north to become the next Night King.
That’s how I would have done it.
@@barnabusdoyle4930 Giving Bran a high by the NK himself, I like it
And than Brann is using his ice powers to travel like DC/Marvel characters, and his resurecting his family to be togheter în new glaciar Westeros , because nobody was good enough to save the old world
Very good idea
Hannah Waddingham was in the books?
Wait I didn't even notice that fr 😂
She's in my book. Damn
That’s what happens when AI creates and posts videos.
"what do you mean I won't be ravaged by 'The Mountain'?"
"Worst day of my life!"😂
Got wine boarded by Cersei instead😂
Underrated comment
Man was there anybody not tortured by that season?
Season 6 was really good what are you talking about ?
Me I guess but that’s because I didn’t watch it
‘Did you know in the books……’
Proceeds to talk about something that happened in the show.
dId YoU kNoW iN tHe BoOkS?
This channel getting lazier and lazier lol
I caught that too 😂
"Did you know, in the books? An actress in the show said in an interview..."
Fake sex torture:i sleep
Real actual bondage and waterboarding: real shit
That wasn't being waterboarded not even close
Imagine you’re an actor going into work. You’ve mentally prepared yourself for quite an intense shoot, ie being r*ped by a 6’8, 400lbs man. You’re ready to go, then you’re told, “so yeah we’ve changed the script and now your character is going to get waterboarded for ten hours. To make it look realistic we’re gonna tie you to this table then pour this wine looking liquid over your face for the shots.”
For everyone questioning how that’s worse than the original script. What’s the first thing you do when water gets splashed in your face? Yeah, you use your hands to wipe it off. Now imagine you can’t. You know how bad it is when shampoo is getting in your eyes, but your hands are covered too so you can’t do anything about it. Panic sets in for a brief moment.
Now imagine you’re tied down. You’ve just taken an ill timed breath so water goes up your nose, and you can’t breathe through your mouth because there’s a water being cascaded onto it. You can’t signal to anyone that you’re actually panicking because it’s a torture scene and will probably think you’re just acting.
Sounds pretty scary to me. Not something I’d put myself forward for.
Also people fail to understand how many takes an actor must go through just for a minute of film time. It virtually is a good ol American form of torture.
Um, as if she couldn’t just break character and tell them cut and they would stop…this could only go wrong if the actor is actually restrained which I’d be very surprised if that were so. This short seems like BS.
@@NinjaFob something being unpleasant does not mean it's torture...
Don't know why you bring up shampoo hurting your eyes, but they wouldn't use shampoo so the issue of the eyes hurting would not be there...
Getting water in my face without being able to wipe it off does not sound bad at all if I am being honest. Not even a little bit. Being tied down and having it take a long time to get all the shots and potentially choking a bit on the water does certainly sound like an uncomfortable day of acting, sure, but not that crazy bad. If you think they would have no safe words or gestures to signal that something is actually wrong, you don't know shooting on a set.
Well I'm sure that depends on the individual's tolerance for discomfort. Do you really think you can speak to that actress' tolerance? It could be torture for her but not you.
The clegane outcome would’ve been more historically accurate and probably less cruel for the actress.
GOT is a fantasy show, the heck does historical accuracy have to do with anything?
They do imply rape anyway with him coming in after the torture and the fade to black.
Historically, because GoT happened irl.
@@Klont123 It’s based loosely on medieval culture. That means none of the wokeness to keep you comfortable.
@@chadthunderkawk1650 “loosely” 🤣
@@Klont123The Wall = Hadrian’s Wall
The war = The War of the Roses
Dothraki = Mongols
Valyria = Ancient Rome
And many, many more. GoT is just historical events thrown in together and then given a fantasy setting that allows dragons, magic, etc.
I've wondered before what it would feel like to be "water" boarded with alcohol. Probably horrible. This scene confirmed it.
probably not real wine
Wine is not alcohol and getting it poured on your face is not waterboarding...
What does this have to do with the books?! Is your introduction line pre-recorded?!
Also, I'm not at all surprised that Benioff and Weiss would do that to one of their actors. They also endangered the actors and the horses on the Battle of the Bastards by having parts of it unscripted and insisting on using real horses in scenes where they shouldn't have. The Dragon Demands used to have a bunch of videos on this kind of stuff. I hope the actress sues the shit out if HBO, because this kind of stuff is not okay.
If they had kept it as it was, Hafþór wouldn't have hurt her for real. He's a gentle giant when it comes to things like that
If a fake torture scene was the worst day of your life, you've had a very easy life.
It wasn’t fake. Look it up.
Average Patrick Bateman fan intelligence
Ya the worst day of my life didnt have a medical team on stand by and end with a paycheck.
Sorry, Hanna Waddingham was not in the books.
The writer dudes were so checked out of the project they forgot to tell the actress about the torture scene.. no surprise here.
I feel like I'm the only one who thought the r scene with Ramsay and Sansa was just forced shock value. Everything else he'd done up until that point was so methodical and well written. I mean, the guy literally tricked a dude into castration after killing his own men to trick that same dude into thinking he was helping him escape the prison that he ran.
Most sex scenes in the show were forced shock value
They involved the Sansa in winterfell scene because they wanted Sophie turner and Alfie Allen to act together and they pretty much combined Sansa with Jeyne Poole who was a friend of Sansa’s in the books but she was mistaken for Arya
@@ACinemafanatic "act together"
Great point. It really diminished his character, because as crazy as it sounds, it turned him from "terrifying cold monster" into "abusive man".
Compare it to Joffrey who never laid a hand on Sansa, but his psychological terror was much more palpable. Imagine if, instead of that needless violent scene, we’d instead cut from the wedding vows to the next day. Sansa sitting on the floor, in a state of mute, confused utter terror. She eyes Theon as if begging for help, but too damaged and scared to even muster the words, and Theon begins to cry.
The suspense and horror would be so much greater, and the sympathy would be just as great
That's a shame.
He kinda forgot that he just said "Did you know in the books"
Who knew that nun was secretly a silver goddess
I never understood why people were so "shocked" by the Sansa & Ramsey wedding night scene. You heard sounds, but saw almost NOTHING. I thought they got the idea across quite well without really showing anything. I guess people would have rather they pretended Westeros was only brutal to MEN? SMH...
Yeah and we actually were shown rape scenes involving other characters at several different points so not sure why one that’s basically implied only would be more shocking.
The worst day of her life was her ACTING like she was being tortured? These Hollywood types are too much.
she was literally there for 10 hours
@@ce5122No, he says her character was waterboarded for 10 hours. Obviously they didn't tie her up for 10 hours against her will. If you want to see what real waterboarding looks like, search for Christopher Hitchens getting waterboarded. He was a British journalist and wanted to see how bad it actually was because the US was doing it to people in Guantanamo Bay at the time.
@@SilentAttackTV I though so too but I checked and no she had been filming for 10 hours
Being strapped down and having water poured over your face is literally how the CIA tortures people man, it's doing that exact thing to a person.
Filming for 10 hours doesn't mean tied to a bench with wine being poured over her for 10 hours 🤣🤣
I thought he did do that originally or was it just implied?
Yes, but originally we would have seen it.
@HOTD108_ Ugh, I am glad we didn't see it. Jeez, this would have been so unnecessary.
He didn’t rape her in the show at all… in the scene that was broadcast all that happened was she was woken from being asleep by being waterboarded with wine, Cersai threatened her with unimaginable torture, forcing her to eat and drink, and death only when she would beg to commit suicide herself, then Cersai started leaving the Mountain entered the door and took his helmet off she started screaming, Cersai shut the door and she just kept screaming as Cersai walked away smiling… but he never moved or did anything to imply rape just stared down at her after taking his helmet off… the reason for her screams being that he was meant to be so hideous under the helmet that his face alone scared her more than she ever had been scared.. how you get that he raped her after the camera stopped? idk how you could as it wasn’t implied at all in the dialogue only torture was implied…
@@jasonwithers5504bro it was pretty obvious what was insinuated. How dense are you 🤣
@@jasonwithers5504
Well, it's about the history of the character. The mountain r*ped and killed Elia Martell, Oberyn Martell's sister, after killing her two small children in front of her. Allegedly by order of Tywin Lannister.
There's also that scene, where he very enthusiastically undresses and beats up Sansa, by order of Joffrey. He's a known sadist and r*pist, with a preference for very young girls.
It's not far fetched to assume, that that would be his preferred method of torturing a woman.
And then, there are the religious implications. Cersei is forcing the Septa to swallow wine, precisely because it's against her vows to consume alcohol. Same for sex. It's about making her feel 'defiled', as much as about causing her physical pain.
There are many examples in history, of nuns choosing suicide or self mutilation over being r*led by invaders.
Wtf does this have to do with the books?
So that made the torture scene looked more authentic.
Having wine poured on her face was the worst thing in her entire life….damn, she is lucky.
Ironically the original SA scene would've been "safer" for the actress and play into The Mountain's character as protrayed in the books ... 💀. Though the SA did take place, it just cut to black before we witness it, which still works IMO we don't HAVE to see it.
I didn't and don't get the backlash at the SA scene with Sansa since before her, we'd already seen SA multiple times. A few particularly egregious ones being the deserters of the Nights Watch at Crastors Keep, The Dothraki sacking of a village and Danny with Khal Drogo.
The only reason I hated the Sansa scene was that it made no sense storywise and was overall only used to show just how "Evil" Ramsay is despite a whole season of torturing Theon.
ASOIAF is an insanely Grim and Dark series, it shows the realistic side of feudalism and its wars, no one is spared. Not men, not women, not children. Showing or Implying SA, abuse, murder etc. is an important aspect of the series. For those who find it uncomfortable, simply don't read the books or watch the show, lol. I do agree that things have to be dialed back for television and I like most if the changes they made along with the things they kept. Seasons 6, 7 and 8 were just straight nonsensical garbage though.
So yeah, I find it both amusing and hypocritical that people took offence to that one scene despite the fact we already witnessed arguably worse actions by characters in the show ... yet no one blinked an eye until Sansa 🤦🏿♂️.
people did blink an eye at rape in the earlier seasons, those are people that stopped watching the show. survivorship bias.
as for the people that continued, the reason why people blinked at sansa is because the show wasnt new anymore, it had gone on for 6 years at that point, we had seen so much rape over the years that people were pretty tired of it being used for titilation and "evil" characterization. yes we get it, rape was a part of that time period, but in the tv show it stopped being about that "point" and just became obnoxiously horrible
we were okay with it at first because it was new, it was establishing a world, and it was establishing characters. but when you keep doing it, it seems fo be less about the "message" and more that they were either lazy, gross, or just didnt care
@@prplfleur "It was establishing the world."
My point EXACTLY! SA was established as something that just happens and quite often, so it makes sense within the world that a sh*t ton of it happens, along side murder which people don't seem to mind despite it being just as bad if not WORSE lol. Theon was flayed and then there was those iron born who were flayed, too.
In a television sense I get why they wouldn't want to go that route (as you said it'd be obnoxious) and I agree. My point about peoples hypocrisy and not blinking until Sansa is that when people bring up their issues with SA in GoT and HoTD they always default to Sansa and stick to just that completely disregarding all the other disgusting acts that occur (including other SAs). Like all the other agregious things are fine but S.A. oh no not that. It'd make more sense to just say "the shows too graphic and violent for me" that makes complete sense.
Your reasoning for why people accepted SA before also doesn't really make sense. SA is SA you don't have to go seeing 6 seasons of it to finally say: "Okay that's, too, far." Which is what most people use for their argument.
If most people had your type of argument: "feels like the writers were getting lazy, obnoxious or disgusting." That'd be another completely acceptable point because it tells me you were obviously never okay with it and only spoke up about the Sansa B.S. because it doesn't make sense storywise and is a boring cop out.
Most people make it sound as if the other SA and torture scenes were fine but the Sansa one wasn't because it was too personal? Like as if it makes it worse or better just because it's a main character.
I suppose that is quite realistic since we'd be more upset if someone we know is assaulted over someone we didn't. Even though we know it's horrible either way we'd rather it affect "the other" just don't want to admit to it.
But yeah I hope I explained myself well, and for the most part I do agree with the points you were getting at. Hope to hear more of what your opinion is if you decide to reply.
Obviously its because Sansa was the main Characters daughter that we also saw grow up. So when it happened to a main character and the main characters daughter people cared. Cuz it was hot when it was emilia clark but not when Sansa got it. Like the sex scene with Aria where people found it weird cuz they watched her grow up. And literally no other reason cuz no one really cared about SA aside from then. From what I remember that's when articles started getting made.
@@Abzlmnog2.0That's just insane to me lol. Some random female character getting sa in the background is fine, but it happening to a main character(another one, Dany was already sa and there was an attempt towards Brienne, craster's daughters were sa, and it goes on and on) is worthy of uproar is crazy. Condemn it immediately or not at all.
The directors must have just freakin’ hated her, they only used like 45 seconds of the 10 hour waterboarding footage.
Her at the end: "So I shaved down there for nothing then"
The segue “anyway” in this video is hilarious
That’s not being water boarded, I swear actors are made out of thin tissue paper if this makes your worst day list
Yeah she is blessed if that was the worst day of her life
Tbh someone pouring water on your face and have it get into your mouth and nose seems pretty horrible. When small amounts of water accidentally get into my nose in the shower it’s literally painful and makes you cough severely. Water going down your nose and throat simultaneously is horrible
Lol, that's not "waterboarding". Waterboarding is when a towel is placed over one's face and water is poured on it to give the sensation of drowning. Simply pouring liquid on your face doesn't even compare.
Yeo, her torture only lasted a day. We had to endure the whole of seasons 7 &8.
That was one of those scenes where you know what happened without it being shown
Now it looks like Gregor is just feeding septa with wine 😂
They poured red water on her face and she would have been able to tell them to stop at any point. Let’s not over blow things.
If you sent me this woman's pic and told me this was the septa I'd 100% have called you a liar.
Who remembers the first episode of season 2 when they killed babies?
Your quiet that’s alright, my friend is also quiet (enter the mountain) the screaming starts
It just feels so unnecessary... Both could have been made without showing or just partly showing the scenes, to create the illusion.
D&D really did not fare well without any concrete and complete script, or when they distanced themselves from it...
I deeply dislike the dudes. What a disaster the last 3 seasons were... 2 last seasons maybe, cause the 6th had decent events like the Sept sabotage, hold the door, and the battle of the bastards (even with its weaknesses about coherence)
Waddingham: I didn't know you're gonna torture me for real.
D&D: Shame. We kinda forget.
Hearing stories like this from Hollywood all the time, it really starts to click that they are more like a disorganized factory than a wonderland. People getting shot, safety riggings getting rushed to meet deadlines because nobody has their shit together...
This isn’t waterboarding. This is someone pouring liquid on someone’s face. When you are waterboarded, your face is held still and a damp cloth is held firmly over your mouth and nose. Then liquid is continually poured over that cloth. The actress can breathe in this scene. You can’t during being waterboarded. One is torture. One looks mildly uncomfortable
Thank you, at last someone set things straight.
She said it was the worst day of her life. So it was above her limit and what she could handle. And honestly, someone pouring water on your face and have it get into your mouth and nose seems pretty horrible. When small amounts of water accidentally get into my nose in the shower it’s literally painful and makes you cough severely
@@fringe394 never said it wasn’t uncomfortable. I said it wasn’t waterboarding. And honestly, if that is the worst day of her life, sounds like she hasn’t done many difficult things.
@@fringe394If I lived in a perfect fairy tale land my entire life and one day stubbed my toe against something, then that too would be "the worst day of my life"
No, she’s not being waterboarded. But this is a civvy woman, tied down and having water poured over her face. One ill timed breath and water shooting up her nose is gonna make panic set in. Not to mention how horrible it feels to have water in and around your eyes and not being able to do anything about it.
Didn’t know the books had details about the actor’s experience during the filming of the show. Truly remarkable!
They should have kept the original scene, yeah, it was a shocking thing to do, but this was a show full of shocking and horrible things. And if people were too sensitive to watch it, then they should’ve just found another show.
If that’s the worst day of her life on a game of thrones set then she must have a very good life.
So it wasn’t acting, we were literally watching a woman be tortured? Wtf, she should sue
This is when the writing started to prioritize shock over narrative.
I understand EVERYONE is uncomfortable with forced relations type scenes but tbh that's unfortunately just an evil part of humanity. While I dislike them as well they do provide a very powerful emotion which is a big part of why we watch shows/movies. I'm rambling a bit but I think they should have left that scene bc it makes sense in the story and is sadly realistic.
Tbh when I watched it I still assumed he was going to r**e her, they just didn't show it on screen. I think Cersei alluded to as much but it's been a while since I've seen that episode
Poor woman; it was unfortunate she had to undergo that. No actors should have to face something like this.
I wish they kept the original scene, yeah, they were shocking. But this was a really dark and twisted universe. And it seems like that elicited feelings of genuine remorse and sympathy for the victims.
Imagine you go to work and then they just surprise water board you with wine for 10 hours. Good luck ever getting me in a film studio again 😂
Another way the SHOW was better than the book. Martin felt the need to go into the details of every instance of sexual assault, abuse, and rape. The show writers knew that kind of shit can be implied without taking away from the story one bit.
The show is not even close to being better than the books. You have to go more in depth writing than you do on screen I thought that was common sense
Tell us you haven't read the books without telling us you haven't read the books...just delete this comment.
@@jalenpalmore8766 the show is better in MANY ways, but it is also worse in many ways. And no, you don't HAVE to go in depth just because it is a different medium. read better novelist like Updike, Wallace, Burroughs, Marquez... they can lay down clues for the reader to infer the outcome. Martin seems to revel in shock.
@@Captain_Wavy_Jones whatever man, I read the books years ago it's not something to brag about.
@@pinkace never said it was worth bragging about. I don't know why anyone would brag about being able to read a book. For the most part shows and movies leave out so much detail that books are usually vastly superior. They took GRRM universe and butchered it to hell and back.
Getting wine poured on your face for a couple of seconds ≠ waterboarding. Real waterboarding goes on for an uncomfortable amount of time, and there's a cloth on your face so you can't breathe at all. Not saying they should have done that to her, because it's horrible, but whatever this is looks very mild.
They spent 10 hours filming the scene, also it was real wine, that will burn your eyes.
D&D: We kinda forgot that it was only acting.
I mean, you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs
Viewer: the scene was so amazing it almost looks real
The actress: It was 💀
A bit of grape juice on the face is her worst day ever. Try losing your house and family home! These actors know nothing of struggle and bad days
If that’s the worst day of your life you had a damn good life
Sounds like an easier ordeal to stomach rather than the original scene
Well that is so a D&D thing to do. How can they make a scene worse when the reactions from the actor are as real and as accurate as you can get from 'filming' a 'torture' scene. SMH.
As someone who’s been thru WBing
It’s horrible
It’s like dying but not quite
I’m sorry this happened to her
That’s very sad
She almost drowned and she now has a terror of the water.
Never let Twitter produce your stuff for you. It will always result in a worse product.
This video just blew my mind. I would never have put that together.
She hadn’t seen how the show ends at that point though…now she has a new “worst day of my life”
Bruh they legit just waterboarded her😂, how can someone be so incompetent plenty of other waterboard scenes have been filmed without actually torturing somebody
This isn't close to real waterboarding though, this is just someone getting water poured on their face for a couple of seconds. Real waterboarding you can't breathe at all and it goes on for an uncomfortable amount of time.
The mountain did have his way with her as Cersei shut the door while saying "Shame"
The more reels I watch from this channel, the more I think “what’s the point of them adapting this to tv if all they is rewrite the stories. Thank God I read the books.
It’s left ambiguous as to what the mountain actually does to her. I always assumed there was Elia Martell treatment involved.
Such a "shame" they didn't tell her
Talk about taking authenticity to an extreme is an understatement! 🙄😁😉🔥💯👍
I remember they did this on mythbusters and the girl freaked out too
That was the worst day she had? Pretty chill life she must lead
Whoa! I would not have placed that actress as Septa Unella! She looked much older and more frumpy!
She got off light. Her character went through hell
when backlash actually makes it worse on the actresses :O
This is why game of thrones TV series failed to live up to the written version
That’s why she look so familiar on Lasso
Uh. Waterboarded? No, no, in real waterboarding they put a bit of cloth over the mouth so that water can pour in but you can't just cough it up. It creates the sensation of drowning without actually doing so. Getting water splashed on your face for hours would no doubt be tiresome, but that ain't waterboarding.
Really, the solution is for the director not to fuss over the perfect "wine spilled on face" shot and get it over with quickly.
Actors to D&D, hey who's that guy (points to spook in the corner of the set)
D&D: Oh ignore him, he's our technical advisor for this scene
We live in a time period when TV and media cater for unhinged people...
Season six was torture itself.
Wish I could say that was the worst day of my life.
This was the little known meta-chapter that GRRM wrote back in 1996. Publishers thought it unwise for George to reveal his future seeing ability. Also questioning whether or not the characters' brains could comprehend the experience of interdimensional displacement and shifting realities.
Scene was maybe 20 second, so yeah. That's what acting is!!
