The red wedding...


Ok, let's begin with this.

The red wedding, it's an episode of Game Of Thrones. The last one they premiered.
It was... shocking.

I don't know if you do watch this series, or you read the books, or you just joined the club recently. If you saw the last episode, you were all the last scene with your mouth open... like a hippo!

It was so sad, unexpected, and  painful, that I could only stay silent.

It was so logical that I could not even understand how didn't I expect that!

But at the same time, it was so sublime. It was so perfect. The whole moment was so well developed, so well thought, so perfectly created... that I stood in silence and accepted it all.
I just thought: Genius.

I took this picture above a few months ago. I was in a middle of a photoshoot, and the model created this "balloons fantasy world". I loved it, but the day was like really windy, and it was a really hard photoshoot to make. But it ends pretty well.
In one of those moments, when the balloons decided to take a fly between the light breezes, one of them (the photo's one) ended on the water, but amidst all that creepy situation. And I just thought: one misstep, and you die. And that was all about the red wedding.

Robb Stark was a balloon in a middle of a windy day.

He was so immature, and inexperienced on the war business, that he was easily to take by the breezes of his bad choices.

First: he gave his word -A KING'S WORD- to Walder Frey of marrying one of his daugthers if he gave his army to the King in the north.
Second: he marry Talisa, ignoring his promise.
Third: Catelyn frees Jaime Lannister and causes a disguised civil war inside Robb's army.
Fourth: Robb executes Lord Karstark after he murdered two captive Lannister boys... that nobody cares about them anyway.
Fifth: Robb realizes that he can't win the war without the Frey's men, and decides to offer an apology giving his uncle as redemption for his offense.
Sixth: all the Starks enter the lion's dent, and are killed... in the most cruelly way possible.

What was the mistake? 
Robb Stark failure to his word... a king's word. He was selfish, and that's it.
A whole house paid the failure of a single man. No, I'm wrong. They paid the failure of an immature king. Blinded for a selfish love... deprived of the light of wisdom.

Only one thing can be said with entire truth after the red wedding: 
All things, good or bad... overtakes us.

See you later,
Jhonny.
