Last night the documentary “The Last Watch” was aired on HBO’s screen, which is now available on its HBO Go streaming platform. Instead of focusing on the path traveled by the actors or directors of this epic production, the camera that accompanied the backstage Game of Thrones in its final season stops at the lesser known faces of the series, to show how they made such a possible Deploy a lot of hard work and dedication.
With the exception of Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) who were lent for this documentary, the rest of the cast hardly appears and their place is occupied by the workers behind the scene. Here we collect the five best moments of this emotional documentary:
The extra iralandés Andy McClay was in the Battle of the Bastards, the Winterfell and the final showdown at King’s Landing
The guard Stark the camera follows several protagonists in their journey through the filming set of Game of Thrones, but these are not exactly the same as in the series. One of those tours is that of the extra Irishman Andrew McClay, who was a soldier of the army of Stannis Baratheon and later of the Stark, participated in the most bloody battles of the series and lived to tell it. If we pay attention, we can see him playing his character over the last few seasons. One of the most emotional moments of the documentary is the farewell of his co-workers, Andy is the last to take off the armor and say goodbye to the set.
In charge of doubles a protagonist of the most epic series of all time, Vladimir Furdik was transformed into the very Night King
The king of the Nocheerio double-risk coordinator Vladimir Furdik started working on Game of Thrones in what he does best: coordinating the fights and action scenes of the extras. But the laps of fate wanted, after thirty years of career, to become one of the protagonists. The directors of the series asked him to interpret the villain Night King, who became one of the most emblematic characters in history. Vladimir speaks in the documentary about his past and the choice of career that saved him, in addition to rubbing shoulders with fans, surprised to be recognized without his characteristic prosthetic makeup.
The Farewell of Kit Harington (Jon SNow) was one of the most emotional and repeated times said he felt as if he was saying goodbye to his family
You know nothing, Jon Snows of the most emotional moments of the documentary are starring the same Kit Harington, although it appears rarely. The first is in reading the script of the last season, where Harington (Jon Snow) was the only one who had not read it. Upon learning of his latest interaction with Daenerys and the turn of his character, the expression of surprise and exchange of glances with actress Emilia Clarke are unpayable. His other great moment comes to the end of the documentary, when he says goodbye to the extras that accompanied him in his last battles, with whom he came to fraternize. Kit gets excited to tears and makes everyone excited on the other side of the screen.
Lottie went from being separated months from her parents to becoming part of the end of Game of Thrones
The smallest of the threads of this emotional documentary is the work of the stunts such, two British entrepreneurs who suddenly see themselves with the enormous task of dealing with all the prosthetic makeup of the most epic television production of all Times. Husband and wife, their work in Game of Thrones consisted not only in giving realism to all the wounds and effects required, but also to solve any problem that was presented at the time. The level of stress that this couple deals with only adds to the sadness of being separated for months from their little daughter. Thanks to their great performance, they manage to get a role as extra in the filming and finally can see it in their place of work, in a beautiful reunion worthy of the best of the scripts. At the end of documentary we see little Lottie as an extra of the savages, coming home on the snow next to her village. The Lord of the nieveLas intense working conditions faced by the production team included climates of extreme and inclement temperatures. In the more than seven months that production lasted, they had to move to inhospitable locations and deal with contingencies of the order of nature. From the short duration of the day and the arrangement of light to a historic snowstorm, the Belfast team was on edge. Del Reid, the man in charge of making snow on the filming set, had to move from Northern Ireland to Seville, Spain, to oversee that everything worked well, and in the documentary recalled emotional moments of his life that took him to that place. The documentary sheds another light on the episodes of the last season and all the work that implied the production, beyond what one sees with the naked eye and was as criticized, like the scripts or the performances. Producer Deborah Riley explains it better than anyone when she says Game of Thrones couldn’t get any bigger than she was and that’s why she had to finish. In this note:
