![]() The more commonly referred term Ān-Shǐ is used to recognize the two families that led the rebellion, originally by An Lushan, a fanzhen (a system of autonomous military districts during Medieval China) general officer and military governor of the Taiyuan Commandery who led the rebellion for two years before he was assassinated by his son An Qingxu. The An Lushan Rebellion, also known in Chinese historiography either as the An–Shi Rebellion, An–Shi Disturbances ( simplified Chinese: 安史之乱 traditional Chinese: 安史之亂 pinyin: Ān Shǐ zhī luàn) or Tianbao Chaos (天寶之乱), was an eight-year civil war (from 755 to 763 AD) during the mid-point of the Tang dynasty that started as a commandery rebellion against the Imperial Government, attempting to overthrow and replace it with the rogue Yan dynasty. Black Panther is simple a transposition of Western material societal norms in Africa - It ISN'T a validation of inherently African cultures.Gao Juren (mutinied and attempted to defect) Has anyone considered "Man from Nowhere" in Western incarnation? Have you seen the epic dramas coming out of Russia? The nuanced thrillers from tiny populated Norway? Why don't Western writers develop fantasies from Indic, Native American, South Asian, Central Asian, African fables and myths - not necessarily verbatim, but taking inspiration from the moral lessons and societal comment. Korean cinema contains many excellent drama, crime, action plots. Amazon's unlimited budget has spawned excellent locally-produced series from India, Germany, Russia, Spain, and probably other countries in the making. Perhaps, with COVID influence, that studios will realize that one can produce more cheaply and quickly with digital technology and CGI than previously, that brainlessly repetitive "blockbusters" should be dropped in favor of many more "independent" productions that other countries have mythologies to consider other than Norse, other fables than Medieval European. ![]() Do we honestly need another James Bond, Resident Evil, XXX, Star Trek, Spiderman, Avengers.? GENERAL EXHORTATION OF PRODUCERS They all smack of primarily continued to be financially milked. I am too concerned with the excitement and complexity of adult life to invest grey cells into the intricately puzzling alien "societies" of fantasy franchises like "Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Mortal Kombat", and, now, "Game of Thrones". Just intonated enough to NOT be like a monotonous documentary, but a master narrator in front of a fireplace. Clear, neutral but modulated Brtish standard English. At least, unlike Japanese anime, the faces were not of prepubescent children with impossibly un-Asian saucer-like eyes, spiky hair, and machine-gun sounding dialog. Blended, earth-colored, detail-poor imaging. Has Disney spoilt the standards of animation? This rendition seems more like Anime, more of a narrated comic book with a series of static frescoes. if you have enjoyed the series so far I'd definitely say this is something to watch.ĪNIMATION 4/10. As the narration ends before the events of the main series there are no spoilers to speak of but I suspect it wouldn't be of much interest to anybody who isn't already invested in the series. The story is mostly narrated Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen but also features the voices of several major cast members as the story moves on to their houses. Obviously it can't go into a great deal of depth but it touches on many things mentioned but not really explained in the main series. That wasn't a problem for me though is it still effectively illustrated what was happening. It is described as animated but most of the story is illustrated by a series of still images with only limited animation. This should be of interest to fans of 'Game of Thrones' as it tells us the history that led up to the Seven Kingdoms we've come to know in the series. Ultimately though House Targaryen is doomed as its decedents, prone to madness, cause the 'Mad King' to be assassinated and the last of their line to flee to the continent of Essos. ![]() ![]() With his dragons he defeats the various local kings some houses disappear while others ally with him and prosper. A cataclysm destroys Valyria and later Aegon Targaryen eyes the continent to the west: Westeros. Starting in ancient Valyria, the greatest city this world has known, they leave for Dragonstone with their dragons. This animated feature, which came bundled with Season Seven of 'Game of Thrones' serves to tell the viewer of how House Targaryen came to conquer then lose the Seven Kingdom of Westeros. ![]()
