“it’s saying , ’just because i’m going don’t mean i won’t love you . i appreciate you and i hope you do great and i appreciate everything you’ve done , but i’m out of here , ' ” she explained in the love songs interview . “ [ that’s ] basically what i was saying . and i took it in the next morning . i said , ’sit down , porter . i’ve written this song , and i want you to hear it . ’ so i did sing it . and he was crying . he said , ’that’s the prettiest song i ever heard . and you can go , providing i get to produce that record . ’ and he did . ”

gonzález iñárritu - - well , when i saw that image i was devastated . i was really shaking and i couldn ' t stop crying . i was really scared to make this film , but i accepted because of the caliber of the directors that were involved and the freedom that i would have . i thought , ' ' i have to be humble as a director . ' ' and so i stepped back and let people just remember the day and cry in the dark without any shame . like therapy .

gonzález iñárritu - - yeah , but i suffered the same . there ' s never enough money , but now i have the perfect situation : i finished the script . i scouted the location and i chose the city , i got the actors . everybody was attached - - and then i said , ' ' this is the project , who wants it ? ' ' so i said , well , if this is the corrupted hollywood , i want to be corrupted .
gonzález iñárritu - - that ' s what i love . that this film obviously obligates you not to have prejudices . you know what i mean ? like you have to say , ' ' uh - oh , sorry , maybe i was wrong . ' ' and i love that because that ' s how the world is , really .

i ' m now allowed to reveal i enjoyed wonder woman ! it ' s really good . has the heart & humanity dceu needed . i ' m not reviewing it fyi urltoken

“having spent the last decade in panem , it’s time to move on to other lands , ” collins wrote . “but before i do , i’d like to say a tremendous thank you to everyone associated with the film franchise . i’m thrilled with how this quartet of films , which i find both faithful to the books and innovative in its own right , has been brought to life on the screen . ”
hello ! we’re david and malika , we’re independent filmmakers in brooklyn and the directors of “thank you for playing” .
snarky and enjoyable , but it could have been a ferocious black comedy . no thank you for playing it safe .
i ' ve been moving towards it my entire life . the minute i was born , every breath that i ' ve taken , every action has been leading me to this crack on the out surface .
the film will have its world premiere at the los angeles film festival next month .
# wonderwoman is hands down the best dceu film to date ! film is so good . i absolutely loved it ! bravo @ pattyjenks @ galgadot @ geoffjohns 👏🏽⚔
“she said something to me off the record , so i won’t ever repeat it , but it was so beautiful , and it was so dolly , ” costner said . “it was generous and it was funny — everything that she is — but it was a big thank you . it was a big , fat thank you . ”
durbin - - well , by jumping back and forth in time , the narrative has the effect of a series of wrong impressions . i felt as if i was constantly making snap judgments that i would then have to revise .
“i said , ’this is a very important song in this movie . ’ i didn’t care if it was ever on the radio . i didn’t care . i said , ’we’re also going to do this a cappella at the beginning . i need it to be a cappella because it shows a measure of how much she digs this guy — that she sings without music . ' ”
gonzález iñárritu - - i was first a musician . then i became a d . j . i had a three - hour radio show , talking and creating characters and getting the city crazy . it was very successful , very provocative . after five years , televisa , the big tv company in mexico , invited me to write promos and i decided to direct a couple . and that ' s how i started . i was making comedy and drama and melodrama . we broke the rules . it was great . after that my partner and i created an advertising company . i started writing things for coca - cola or for volkswagen . and i began to hate that , so i did a pilot for a tv series . and then in ' 97 i read a script by guillermo arriaga and said : ' wow . o . k . , let ' s do this . i want to make a film . ' and we started to work on ' ' amores perros . ' '
durbin - - ' ' 21 grams ' ' was the first film you two worked on in english . will your next film be in english ?
we have hit our goal ! thank you so much to everyone who has backed our campaign so far - you are all individually responsible for ensuring that we ' ll be able to bring thank you for playing to theaters and communities worldwide in the coming months , and we are humbled and so , so grateful for your crucial support .
durbin - - did you know that you would end up making something so rough and violent ? i mean it ' s a frightening portrait of urban life , among other things .
thank you for your service
observes , tactfully , the wounds that battle leaves on the human soul . [ full review in spanish ]
dolly parton was listening to her car radio the first time she heard whitney houston ’s version of “i will always love you , ” a song actor and film producer kevin costner insisted she record for the 1992 film , the bodyguard .
i’m a fashionable adventure seeker , sunshine chasing , professional band - aid accessorizer , who loves life . you can read more about me
gonzález iñárritu - - no . he writes but he allows me , fortunately , to be involved , and i feel honored to work with him . i sometimes can be very difficult . i express what i love and my concerns and my doubts . we discuss for hours and hours . and we fight , like a good marriage .
for those who pledge or have pledged at $ 195 or more : you will also receive a copy of the video game , that dragon , cancer . with this copy , you can demo the game at your screenings of thank you for playing !
gonzález iñárritu - - when ' ' amores perros ' ' played at the tokyo film festival , the mexican ambassador never showed because he was embarrassed that i was showing mexico like that . and i said , ' ' well , nobody ' s paying me to be a secretary of tourism in my country . ' ' i ' m just making a film .
gonzález iñárritu - - no . no . i feel very comfortable being a world director . but people from my country sometimes say ' ' oh , you go to hollywood , you get corrupted . ' ' well , i did this film with the same kind of creative control and freedom of ' ' amores perros . ' '
virtual high five ! we ' ll send you a personal e - note thanking you for your contribution .
gonzález iñárritu - - i ' m not a negative person - - i try to be very positive . it ' s just that i think in the awareness of death , if you can deal with that , if you can talk about that , if you can understand that , i think then we will appreciate life more , because we will know that it ' s unique , that it ' s very fragile . so we can say , ' ' how lucky i am that i ' m alive now . ' ' people who are rejecting death , they don ' t want to deal with that , who don ' t talk about that , they are not really seeing how beautiful life is .
houston’s dramatic rendition of “i will always love you” sold more than 4 million singles and won two grammys . the bodyguard soundtrack sold 17 million copies .
hall takes a similarly lackadaisical approach to the facts in thank you for your service , inventing characters and scenes as he tries to create a story arc moviegoers will recognize .
whoa . we received news from gathr , the film’s distributor , that , after its first week in theaters , minimalism is officially the number one documentary of 2016 ( the largest u . s . box office opening for an indie documentary so far this year ) . yay ! thank you for your eagerness , enthusiasm , and support . and thank you for sharing this film with the people you care about most . with your help , our simple - living message will continue to change many lives . we are grateful .

despite its many strengths , thank you for smoking hovers around mediocrity , and its lasting impression is like a puff of smoke that is dissipated by a strong gust of wind .
gonzález iñárritu - - the reason is simple . my wife and i lost a child , our boy , who was called luciano , when he was two days old . i dedicated ' ' amores perros ' ' to him . and this film i dedicate to maría eladio because we went through that . and because without her , i would never have had the strength to make this film happen . the dedication is ' ' pues cuando ardió la perdida / reverdecieron sus maizales , ' ' which is something like , ' ' for when the loss burns , the green corn is born again . ' ' i don ' t know if you understand this , but - - - -
durbin - - i guess there ' s more than one way for an artist to be corrupted .
gonzález iñárritu - - yeah , an emotional experience . if the film becomes an intellectual game then it ' s boring . i ' d rather watch chess . one of the big challenges is how to maintain the emotional heart of the film . i ' m trying to create an atmosphere rather than a journalist piece ; i ' m very aware of the emotional order of the facts instead of the chronological order of the facts .
gonzález iñárritu - - no , really , i don ' t have anything . i ' m just a one - woman man . my brain is little , so i cannot have a space for so many things . guillermo and i are talking of maybe making the last piece of a trilogy about the kind of coincidences that occur in ' ' amores perros ' ' and ' ' 21 grams . ' '
alejandro gonzález iñárritu - - all my life it was mexico city . and then when i started making ' ' 21 grams ' ' my family and i moved to l . a . , because it was very difficult for me to leave my kids so long . i have a daughter , maría , who is an 8 - year - old , and who tragically has just stopped believing in santa claus , which is heartbreaking . she took her mom and said : ' ' i will never talk to you again if you don ' t tell me the truth . does santa claus exist or not ? ' ' what can you say ? you cannot lie . and i saw in a moment how her eyes changed forever . like the last days of innocence . but anyway , i was traveling a lot and i thought it would be better that she and eliaso my son , who is 6 , came with me . with their mother , my wife , maría eladia .
thank you offers a window into lives that most americans never see , providing an almost visceral sense for what it was like to fight in iraq and then come home to your afterwar .
however , if your film is sold for theatrical release , the price of your license will go up . ascap recommends negotiating a step deal in advance . in a step deal , you would negotiate several different license prices that depend on where you end up showing your film . if the film is only shown at festivals , you will pay a low rate . but if it is optioned for theatrical release or shown on tv , you will pay more .

durbin - - it ' s a peculiarly humbling experience for a viewer . most conventional films reduce you to a kind of passivity . you just lie back and the movie kind of washes over you . in this movie you can ' t lie back . you keep getting brought up short and made conscious of the limitations of your own understanding .
“they started out with it a cappella , ” parton said in 2011 when the bittersweet ballad grabbed the peak position on the cmt 40 greatest love songs special . “and i thought , ’that sounds familiar . … and it didn’t hit me . it was just one of those things where [ you think ] , ’what is that ? ’ and , then all the sudden , when she started singing , ’i will always love you , ’ i just about wrecked the car . ”

we’re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .
gonzález iñárritu - - i trust the audience . i think the audience wants to be entertained , and for me entertaining is not schwarzenegger . for me entertaining is proactivity , to be part of the show , to be part of the creation . different people will construct different stories . i think the great novels in the world always hide the truth , reveal it little by little . that ' s beautiful . but how many films stupidly reveal things and inform people before they need to , because they don ' t trust them ? i think that this film really trusts the audience . another thing : i ' m always very conscious that if the intellectual exercise doesn ' t allow the people to have an emotional ride , then we failed .
once you’ve found out who owns the rights to the song that you want to use , you need to submit a proposal . ascap has some recommendations about the sort of information that you should include in a proposal . make sure to provide a brief synopsis of your film . then explain the ways in which you are going to use the song . will it be used over the opening credits or the closing credits ? how many times will you use it , and for how long ? will it play in the background of a scene , or will it feature prominently ?
or perhaps the film functions as a kind of ph test for humanness : as you feel the film needling away at your soul , you can at least be reassured that you probably have one to needle . there are , of course , no easy answers , although amid its scorching , fractured images , there is one certainty , brought into crisp focus . this is , very simply and straightforwardly , a masterpiece .

however , if your film simply won’t be complete without , say , “bohemian rhapsody” , or “sergeant pepper’s lonely hearts club band , ” then you will need to get a license .
both sides of the political fence will feel royally skewered . all that ' s lacking is a warning from the surgeon general : this film will make you laugh till it hurts .
durbin - - you made one of the 11 segments in last year ' s commemorative film , ' ' september 11 . ' ' your use of video of people jumping from the burning towers was discreet , but it still caused an uproar . what did you intend ?
thank you for playing explores the very personal experiences of a family battling cancer and the beauty and hope that can be found in the artistic process , while also examining the age - old question of where the boundaries lie in representing difficult emotional experiences in art .

in fact , its gaze is even more unsettling than you at first realise : everything you see in under the skin comes filtered through that ultimate outsider’s perspective , which glazer achieved by shooting much of the film undercover , out in the real world , with a disguised johansson weaving her spell over unwitting members of the public . ( of course , professional actors were used in some key sequences , including a scene on a beach that ends with one of the most devastating shots i have ever seen in a fictional film . )

gonzález iñárritu - - exactly . the same themes are in ' ' amores perros , ' ' and they are for me so primitive , so basic , so ordinary . i don ' t agree when somebody says it ' s a very philosophical , spiritual film . i don ' t want to judge my characters . they are not bad or good or heroes or not , they are just people like you and me . sometimes we are weak and we do bad things thinking that we are doing good things .
yes you can ! among our rewards on the right is the opportunity to book the film for a screening for your community . typically , if you ' re screening a film to a club or organization , you need what ' s called a public performance license ( read more about that here ) . during the time of our kickstarter campaign , we ' re offering a unique discounted deal : 1 screening with a public performance license and a filmmaker skype q & a for $ 195 for non profits , and $ 295 for other organizations . or an educational copy of the film - yours to keep and screen as often as you like , for $ 350 . all three of these will allow you to use a screening of the film in any way you choose - as a fundraiser , a community event , etc . this is significantly cheaper than standard rates , and available only during our kickstarter campaign , so worth snapping up now ! and of course , if you have any questions about any of this , feel free to email us : info @ thankyouforplayingfilm . com .

wonder woman is the dc movie i ' ve been waiting for . it ' s exciting , inspiring , funny , and has some truly awe - inspiring action scenes .
there are times when inspiration can arise from the strangest of situations or moments , that can lead us to creation not only for one ' s self , but even possibly find ' redemption ' or else ' destruction ' for another . a film set in modern times , ' thank you for now ' is a tribute to strangers who silently co - exist amongst us searching for a meaning to live .

gonzález iñárritu - - i believe truly that this film is about hope . in ' ' amores perros , ' ' those characters are more exotic , but these people are like you and me . and they represent how many times we have lost a family member or how many times we have lost our dreams or believed in something and it ' s gone . or we can lose our health in a minute .
gonzález iñárritu - - exactly . to obey that kind of thing . or to say : ' ' are you making a film in english ? oh my god . you are corrupting your nationality . ' ' in those terms , hemingway would never have written in cuba . and shakespeare - - why did he set something in venice if he was an english guy ? art would be reduced to local stories . and then we would be reduced . but don ' t misunderstand me . i would love to shoot in mexico again .
as an adult , documentary filmmaker sara lamm discovered that she was conceived via sperm donor . she’s spent years trying to track down her biological dad , using her skills as an investigator to dig ever deeper to uncover where half of her dna comes from . it’s a fraught premise — and one that threatens to upset her seemingly very happy and loving family — but it’s one she embraces fully in her latest film , “ thank you for coming . ”

so , what should you do if the song that you want is not part of public domain ? don’t just go ahead and use it anyway ; under us copyright law , the holder of the copyright will have every right to sue within a year of use . one option is to forego preexisting music and to instead hire a composer to create original music . you can then negotiate for the rights directly with the composer .
while hall’s oscar - nominated american sniper script certainly delved into the toll that post traumatic stress disorder took on navy seal sniper chris kyle , thank you for your service puts a growing issue of national concern in the spotlight . the film follows a group of u . s . soldiers returning from iraq who struggle to integrate back into family and civilian life , while living with the memory of a war that threatens to destroy them long after they’ve left the battlefield . foxcatcher ‘s jon kilik is producing and love & mercy ‘s ann ruark is executive producer .

as man desires

the desire of a man is his favor , and the poor man is better than a rich man who lies .
a needy man is merciful : and better is the poor than the lying man .
proverbs 13 : 4 - 14 - nkjv - the soul of a lazy man desires , and has nothing . . .
the soul of a lazy man desires , and has nothing ; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich .
a righteous man hates lying , but a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame .

the desire of a man is his kindness : and a poor man is better than a liar .
what is desired in a man is steadfast love , and a poor man is better than a liar .
what is desirable in a man is his fidelity ; better to be a poor man than a liar .
that which makes a man to be desired is his kindness . a poor man is better than a liar .
the charm of a man is his kindness ; and a poor [ man ] is better than a liar .
and that’s ok , as long as we are together and trying not to .
that which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness ; and a poor man is better than a liar .
the desire of a man is the measure of his kindness : and a poor man is better than a liar .
what is desirable in a man is his kindness , and it is better to be a poor man than a liar .
a man desires praise that he may be reassured , that he may be quit of his doubting of himself ; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success .
is he who has all he desires , and desires nothing amiss .
but all do not desire this ; for some desire certain things amiss , and yet they wish to desire such things . therefore all do not desire happiness .
the perverse way of a man is strange : but as for him that is pure , his work is right .
a man desires praise that he may be reassured , that he may be quit of his doubting of himself ; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success . - alec waugh - brainyquote

a creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve , not by the desire to beat others .
and a poor man is better than a liar ; who is a rich man , as the septuagint and syriac versions add ; who denies that he has ability to relieve the poor , when he has ; or promises to do it , and does it not ; such men of high degree are a lie indeed ! and the poor man , whom he should relieve , is a better man than he ; or that would relieve another , but it is not in his power to do it .
human beings long for grace , and it ' s better to be poor than a man of deceit .

ben lenzo says the modern man seeks a relationship that’s moved past the boxes on an online dating profile .

the desire of a man is his kindness , . . . . either the grace and kindness of god , which is , desirable by every sensible man , as being most excellent , and better than life and anything in it ; or it is his desire to show kindness . a good man is desirous of riches , that he might have it in the power of his hands to do good to others ; and a beneficent man , who has it in his power , is desirous of an opportunity of showing kindness to his fellow creatures and friends ; and such a disposition and conduct render a man very desirable and amiable ; it is the beauty of a man , as ben melech ; yea , a man that is not able to do a kindness to another , yet has a desire to do it , his good will is his kindness , and the will is taken for the deed . gersom takes the word in the sense of
reproach
, as it is sometimes used ; and understands it of the sinful desires of the heart , the imaginations of the thoughts of the heart , which are evil continually , and so matter of reproach ;
i want a woman who is as proud of me as i am of her , and sings my praises from the rooftops . just as i do of hers . she will encourage me and support me in my time of need .

as soon as she is clear of them , olenna privately unfolds the piece of paper and finds that there is a rose drawn on it . she seems cheered by the silent message , as the use of the tyrell sigil indicates that margaery is merely tricking the sparrows and that her true loyalty is still to house tyrell . she also seems to understand that margaery is urging her to leave for her own safety .

this episode marks the first time that peter dinklage has not appeared in two consecutive episodes as tyrion lannister ( he has only been absent from six episodes of the series , the least of any cast member ) . this leaves emilia clarke and lena headey ( portraying daenerys targaryen and cersei lannister ) as the only two cast members who have not been absent in two consecutive episodes .

cersei later confronts olenna about her plans to leave , telling her to remain for the sake of margaery and loras , who is still imprisoned . olenna retorts that the reason all of this is happening is because of cersei , as she was the one who allowed the faith militant to reform and allowed them to arrest loras and margaery . cersei admits that she made a mistake with the sparrows , but insists that an alliance between the lannisters and tyrells is more important now than it ever was . olenna refuses her , noting that cersei has neither influence nor support anymore and is surrounded by enemies . she tells cersei that she ( olenna ) will be leaving the city as soon as possible , and that cersei ' s utter defeat is her only consolation .
theon and yara take the iron fleet to volantis to hide and rest . inside a brothel , theon sits despondently as yara and the others carouse with naked and semi - naked prostitutes . yara repeatedly tells theon to drink some ale and he repeatedly refuses .
if this was a test for the waif and not arya , that means that jaqen ( or one of the other faceless men ) is wearing an arya face - mask . in the books , the faceless men can only use faces from dead people - in this episode jaqen is even directly shown removing a face from a corpse . on the other hand , the tv continuity has changed this slightly to show that the faceless men can use faces that look like a still - living person . in the season 5 finale , arya saw her own face on the faceless man who poisoned himself - she might have been hallucinating in this moment , but prior to that , she also clearly saw a faceless man that looked like
jaqen h ' ghar
who drank poison and killed himself , while another faceless man pretending to be the waif took off his mask and revealed jaqen ' s face . this might simply be different in the tv version - perhaps the explanation is that the faceless men can take the faces of people with similar appearances and alter them to match a still - living person they closely resemble .

in the books , the boltons might have planned to attack deepwood motte and kill the ironborn who held it ( similarly to their actions in respect of moat cailin ) , as strongly implied in the threatening letter asha received from ramsay - but stannis beat them to it .
related but separated by vast distances ( braavos , the wall , king ' s landing , meereen , the dothraki , etc . ) in contrast , the stannis / bolton / north storyline had merged during season 5 , and they should have been treated as linked chronologically .
in the books , the war that meribald fought in was specifically the war of the ninepenny kings , also known as the fifth blackfyre rebellion , which brynden tully was actually a major commander in . the tv version doesn ' t specify what conflict he fought in during his youth .
in the inside the episode featurette , the showrunners pointed out that yara does love and care for her brother theon , but they made her dialogue with him ( which doesn ' t have a direct counterpart in the novels ) to be deliberately blunt ,
tough love
advice , because as they put it , yara isn ' t a professional psychotherapist . as they explained , moreso than the rest of westeros , the ironborn are a very blunt , viking - like culture of warriors , so they felt this style of advice was more appropriate to their behavior .
then , in conclusion , a note on vaasugiri : everyone has a vaasu inside him ( or her ) . there is nothing wrong about it to begin with . we , as mammals endowed with sexuality , are programmed to feel attracted to each other . it is a natural act , a physical need , as mandar pleads . however , over the centuries , we have made it into something perverse , something that needs to be hushed about , thanks to all the walls that we have erected between ourselves , and the way we have complicated everything ( like with dating conventions , the concept of honour and disgrace , and so forth ) . we denatured our sexuality , took it out of context , overanalyzed and overthought it , and gradually dressed it into something marketable , obsessive , and shameful . ironically , it is such repression—and on the flipside , the paradoxical valorisation of the macho / playboy attitude—that makes an ‘everyday - man’ like mandar into an inveterate , compulsive , and helpless vaasu .
( and first cousin of jorah ) . stannis sent all the northern houses letters asking them to acknowledge him as the rightful king , but despite having no substantial army left and only being a little girl , lyanna sent back a defiant letter which read
bear island knows no king but the
the out of universe explanation is of course that this was simply a dialogue error in this episode and it should be treated as non - canonical , and that lyanna really is 11 years old in season 6 . game of thrones wiki is attempting to contact bryan cogman about this via twitter .

yara tells theon greyjoy that ,
now , since it ' s my last night ashore for a long while , i ' m gonna go fuck the tits off this one .
this implies yara only has sex with women as there are no other known women on the crew of the black wind .
queen margaery is studying the seven - pointed star at the sept when the high sparrow enters and they discuss the passage she ' s been reading , which is about the mother ' s love and mercy . margaery notes that in the past she pretended to love the poor when in fact she only really pitied them . the high sparrow asks her why she hasn ' t joined king tommen in the marriage bed , and margaery explains that the desires that once drove her no longer do so . the high sparrow assures her that desire is not necessary . she has a duty to produce an heir . the high sparrow then makes a thinly veiled threat against margaery ' s grandmother , olenna tyrell , stating that while she is a remarkable woman , she is also an unrepentant sinner .
meanwhile , cogman stated that many days and weeks pass by as jon and sansa travel along the west coast of the north from the mormonts to the glovers - they didn ' t mean to imply that the wall , bear island , and deepwood motte are all a day or two ' s journey from each other .
a woman who understands that these are all things that i will try to bring to my relationship with her too . i have no expectation of someone else that i do not have of myself . i will try to get there every day – and fail . many , many days i will fail . as will she .
this episode once again raises the issue that loras tyrell is being treated as the male heir of house tyrell . in the novels he had two older brothers , and they were cut from the tv show , but even so it is unclear if they have younger brothers or cousins after loras if he were to be removed .

in the end , jon and sansa are only able to recruit a small number of minor houses , only adding a few hundred extra soldiers to their army . lady lyanna and her men are seen among the stark and wildling forces . davos deals with a brawl among the wildlings . despite being heavily outnumbered , jon is adamant that they attack winterfell as soon as possible before ramsay rallies more forces and before the weather turns on them . sansa disagrees , instead opting to try and recruit more houses . when jon refuses to change his mind , sansa begins writing a letter to be sent by raven to petyr baelish , taking him up on the offer for troops she previously rejected .
use a line for line reading of meribald ' s speech , as in the books it talks about conscripts being reduced to banditry and living like animals preying on peasants caught in war zones . this would have been difficult to introduce in this context - in the books meribald actually gives it to brienne - but it is one of the most iconic speeches in the novels ( there are numerous
when reading lyanna ' s letter to stannis , jon wonders how come lyanna was the one who wrote the letter , thinking that maege would have left at least one of the older girls behind as castellan . the answer is given by alysane , during the march of stannis ' s host to winterfell :
lyra and jory are with our mother
( at unknown location ) - thus ,
robett glover directly mentions that his brother galbart fought for robb and hailed him as king in the north : he doesn ' t quite explicitly state that galbart is in fact dead , but heavily implies it . robett does mention that his wife and children were held captive by the ironborn , which did happen in the novels ( yara kept them prisoner but made sure they were well cared for ) .

in the episode consistently uses her right hand to handle the money bags she gives the sailors . maisie williams is actually right - handed in real life but is always careful to play arya as left - handed because she is in the novels - she wouldn ' t make such a casual mistake like this ( three separate times in the scene ) .
we next see arya standing on a bridge admiring a view of the titan of braavos when an old woman approaches her and reveals herself to be the waif , who repeatedly stabs her in the gut , twisting the knife as she does . arya escapes by leaping over the handrail and into the river . she is left stumbling through the streets of braavos , leaving a trail of blood droplets and visibly afraid .
i want to move beyond ticking surface level boxes like “has a great sense of humor , ” or “loves the beach , ” which matter only for a short time , and long term not at all . i want the things that are core to what i believe are important for a human . as a registered human myself , this also applies to how i live my own life . and that’s way beyond skin deep .
although she gives me her heart and her mind , i want her body too . she understands her body , takes pleasure in it , knows what sets her afire , and wants to engage & teach me the same . she willingly gives herself to me because she knows i will simultaneously treat her body as the gift it is , but will also allow my hunger for her to take over , devouring every part of her .
it is pointed out to lyanna that her uncle jeor mormont made jon snow his personal steward , because he was grooming him to succeed him one day and thought him trustworthy . it is unclear , however , why jon didn ' t take this opportunity to also point out that her uncle outright gave him the house mormont ancestral sword , longclaw , made of priceless valyrian steel , and assuredly jeor would only have bestowed his blade on a man he thought was trustworthy . then again , perhaps jon was worried that if the meeting didn ' t go well , they might try to take the sword back from him .
is still alive ; in the fifth novel , it is implied by her daughter alysane that she is alive and with two of her other daughters . robb has sent her and galbart glover on a mission to the north prior to the red wedding , and ever since no one heard from them . she has older surviving sisters ( the eldest , dacey mormont , died at the red wedding ) . maege did leave young lyanna as the
it is unclear where the tv version is drawing the exact number of only 62 fighters . in the books , it is mentioned that all of the vassal houses in the western half of the north can only muster about 1 , 200 men or so , and as lyanna mormont points out , bear island isn ' t very populous and didn ' t have a large army to begin with ( before most of its soldiers got slaughtered in the war ) .
margaery instead pleads for olenna to return to highgarden instead . as she emphatically tells her grandmother to return home , margaery secretly slips a piece of paper into olenna ' s hand . in doing so , she seems to have successfully communicated to olenna that she doesn ' t quite mean what she ' s been saying in front of septa unella , and olenna ' s expression changes , realizing this . she plays along and agrees to acquiesce , then walks away .
this is only the sixth episode of the entire tv series that tyrion lannister has not appeared in - and given that he didn ' t appear in the previous episode either , this is officially the first time in the entire run of the tv series to date that tyrion has been absent for two episodes in a row . if tyrion misses one more episode , he will slip down to tie with cersei as the most frequently recurring character in the tv series .
in turn , this explains why unlike much of the rest of westeros or even the rest of the north , bear island has a strong tradition of producing warrior women : bear island itself is fairly poor and densely forested ( as seen in the episode ) , so its inhabitants gain most of their sustenance by fishing the surrounding waters . this means that the men are often out at sea for days at a time , unable to react to surprise sea raids made by ironborn or wildling boats that slip past them to get to their homes on the island . as a result , the mothers and older daughters of families on bear island had to learn to take up weapons themselves to defend themselves and their homes . while they apparently follow the inheritance laws of the mainland , putting daughters behind sons , so many men die in raids that families from the island fully prepare their daughters to fight and potentially have to rule some day .
yara is persuading theon to regain his former identity and self confidence , as she will need his assistance in getting justice and retaking the iron islands from their uncle euron . when pressed , he says that if justice were served , he would be burnt for his crimes , so she responds , “fuck justice then . do it for revenge . ” eventually she convinces him to put his guilt aside and help her because she needs him . he drinks some ale and begins to gain some composure .
in the books , jaime didn ' t bring a full lannister army of 8 , 000 men to riverrun to assist the freys : instead , some elements of other lannister armies were already present , commanded by his cousin daven lannister ( son of stafford lannister ) , who had been struggling in vain to get the freys in line ( daven is a capable leader and jaime sympathizes with his troubles ) . thus in the book version , jaime only brought about 1 , 000 new lannister soldiers with him as reinforcements from king ' s landing . as the siege was a recent development in the tv version , tv - jaime apparently just brought them all at once ( it wasn ' t stated how many lannister soldiers were already present under daven ' s command in the books ) . the frey army surrounding riverrun numbered about 2 , 000 in the books ( most of the other half of their army accompanied the boltons to winterfell to help them hold the north , but this was cut from the tv version ) .
jon , sansa , and davos travel to bear island , where they meet with lyanna , the ten - year old head of house mormont . sansa and jon try to flatter her with small talk about her mother maege and uncle jeor mormont . however , lyanna is unimpressed and aggressively brushes them off , demanding to know their business in bear island . lyanna initially rejects their request for help and stresses that house stark is dead and that she needs her forces to garrison bear island . she also remarks that jon and sansa cannot be considered starks since the former is a bastard and the latter has been married twice into enemy houses . lyanna is initially unconcerned about the threat of ramsay . before lyanna can dismiss them , davos intervenes . after briefly discussing his background , davos manages to convince the young lady mormont by warning her about the dangers the white walkers pose to the living . she agrees to contribute 62 men , which is all she can manage , and promises that they each fight as well as ten men .
in the books , ryman was the frey that jaime struck across the face to teach him a lesson about not making idle threats : the tv version condensed this with black walder rivers . as seen in the episode , jaime struck him with his golden prosthetic hand , badly injuring him and knocking him to the ground . in the books the hand is solid gold , though for unknown reasons the tv series had jaime point out that it is gold - plated steel - still a heavy , solid - metal prosthetic .
in part this explains why lyanna mormont is such a confident , capable , and defiant ruler despite being a 10 year old girl . many major lords on the mainland don ' t expect their daughters to come to rule and thus don ' t train them for it , i . e . tywin lannister never tried 10 year old cersei lannister to be able to rule and fight if he died . in contrast , house mormont does raise its daughters to be able to rule as capable political leaders if the need arises .
the tv version is nonetheless thematically similar : he explains that he used to be a soldier , and instead of glory and honor , it led to him mindlessly obeying orders to burn villages and kill unarmed peasants , but he ' s tried to make amends with what time he has left alive . as a conscientious objector to the vietnam war , george r . r . martin was critical of how other high fantasy literature glorified war , and he wanted to deconstruct this in his own works to show how in real life it is most often horrible and pointless suffering .
dorne does not appear in this episode , and has not appeared since the season premiere . the night ' s watch , bran stark and his subplot , the vale , samwell and gilly in the reach , ramsay bolton at winterfell , daenerys targaryen and the dothraki , and meereen also do not appear . cersei , olenna , and margaery appear in king ' s landing but tommen and the small council do not . house greyjoy appears in the form of yara and theon ' s faction as their fleet arrives in volantis , but their uncle euron and the iron islands themselves do not .
in the novels , brienne and podrick encounter a wandering septon named meribald who used to be a soldier in his youth , became a bandit at one point and did many things he is ashamed of , and now makes penance for his past by helping the poor and needy . the tv version basically condensed septon meribald and the elder brother together into one character : they are similar characters in the books . in the
inside the episode
featurette , however , the showrunners refer to him as
ray ,
not
meribald
- apparently they made a new name for the condensed character .
house mazin
, meanwhile , does not exist in the books at all - it is an in - joke reference to screenwriter craig mazin , who doesn ' t directly work on the tv series but gave the showrunners vital advice about the unaired pilot episode . this is the third time it has been mentioned in the tv series , the second this season . a new second - tier
major house
can ' t easily be fit into the map of the north at this point , given that the books have already clearly defined who controls which territories . there are two in - universe possibilities : house mazin might be a prominent third - tier
minor house
( similar to how house forrester are prominent vassals of house glover , who are themselves vassals of the starks ) , or they might be one of the 40 or so minor noble houses from the northern mountain clans who live northwest of winterfell - they are all as weak as minor houses , but are technically second - tier major houses in the sense that they are sworn directly to the starks and don ' t have any other overlords . the books never gave a definitive list of all of the northern mountain clans .
it isn ' t explicitly stated where the scenes involving sandor clegane take place , but given the presence of the brotherhood without banners it is apparently somewhere in the riverlands - combined with the fact that brother ray ' s book counterpart septon meribald also operated in the riverlands . when arya abandoned sandor they were actually leaving the vale and near the coast where its southern border meets the riverlands ( which is how she was in riding distance of a port at maidenpool ) . also brother ray says he picked up sandor on a wagon , so apparently he took the hound with him as he journeyed back into the riverlands .
brynden states that riverrun has enough food supplies to last for two years . in the books , he similarly managed to gather ample food supplies at the castle before the siege began , right after the red wedding . in the tv version , the siege wasn ' t going on off - screen this whole time but is stated to have only recently begun after brynden recaptured it in a sneak attack , thus he still has two full years worth of food supplies in this version as well . sieges can last for many years in westeros , because castles are built with larger storage space to survive the years - long winters .
yara ' s character is named
asha greyjoy
in the books , she was renamed to avoid confusion with osha the wildling ( asha greyjoy is a much more prominent character , but was only introduced in season 2 , after osha was introduced in season 1 ) . asha in the books shows no particular hints of being bisexual or experimenting with women : she is very sexually active and unashamed of this , going so far as to learn from a woods witch how to make her own moon tea ( an abortion drug ) . game of thrones wiki reached out to george r . r . martin himself to inquire about this :
meereen appears in the title sequence even though it isn ' t in the actual episode . as the creators explained , it would be very expensive to create an animation for every location that appears on - screen , so they limit them to those that will recur frequently enough that it justifies the expense . no title animation was created for volantis when it appeared in season 5 because it only appeared in one episode - thus there wasn ' t a pre - existing one to use in this episode . the greyjoy fleet is headed to meereen , so on the balance it was probably less expensive to just re - use the animation for that location .
the only subplots which haven ' t caught up with their materials from the novels at this point are samwell and gilly actually arriving in oldtown itself , a few ( condensed ) parts of the greyjoy subplot , parts of the king ' s landing storyline , and a few elements from the slaver ' s bay storyline ( though tyrion has caught up ) . this isn ' t counting major subplots which were simply abandoned such as the martell storyline from the books and the griff storyline in the free cities . at the rate these few subplots are advancing , it appears that every subplot will totally catch up with the books by the end of season 6 .
in the parallel book scene , davos attends the court of lord wyman manderly , seeking to have him support stannis . one of the attending freys , ser jared ( fourth son of lord frey ) , tells the freys ' version of the red wedding : robb and his followers have warged into wolves , and the freys acted in self defense . brazenly , jared even goes that far to claim that wendel was killed as he shielded lord frey with his body . davos is stunned at the enormity of the lie , which wyman seems to believe . then , rhaegar frey ( lord frey ' s grandson ) says similar things to robett ' s statement in the show :
major credit goes to the cast of course – from the lead actors to the cameos . brilliant , understated portrayals , complemented by natural dialogues , situations , and issues . as jyotsana , one of mandar’s married lovers , quips , tu toh bhaag gaya , main kahaan bhaagegi ? thus , they part with a final hug , a wistful smile on her face ; leaving you to reflect on the nature of impulse and the social implications . moreover , all the characters look real—the sort of people you see around your neighbourhood or on the streets . special mention to the child actors who manage to convey the awkwardness , insecurities , and excitement associated with sex and attraction during adolescence .
jaime and bronn lead the lannister army to the gates of riverrun , where the freys attempt to coerce the blackfish into surrendering the castle by threatening to execute edmure tully . the blackfish calls their bluff and refuses to surrender . disgusted with the freys ' incompetence , jaime takes charge of the siege and attempts to parley with the blackfish , warning him that the lannisters will show no mercy to the tullys , but if he surrenders , the lives of his men will be spared . the blackfish rejects the offer and warns jaime that he has two years worth of food in his stronghold , and that while hundreds of his own men may die defending , thousands of lannister troops will perish as well .
jaime lannister never went to dorne as he did in season 5 of the tv series - the dorne subplot in season 5 was so heavily condensed or outright changed that it bore little resemblance to that subplot in the novels . instead , that was the point in time at which jaime left for the riverlands to deal with holdout pockets of robb stark ' s tully allies - and thus he wasn ' t present when the faith militant arrested cersei , nor for her impending trial by combat . when he received a letter in which cersei begged him to come back and aid her he burned it in disgust , realizing that her petty plotting against the tyrells nearly destroyed their family ' s hold on power and endangered tommen .
