Rhaegar, Lyanna, Robert&Cersei - A sadder story [ASOIAF/GOT]
Watch in HD, please!
So, I know I posted the Elena and Delena previews ages ago, but the muse wants what the muse wants! And last night I got this idea which i just HAD to execute (though I did a terrible job).
Yeah, I am a Game of thrones and A song of ice and fire. And I am a huge believer in R+L=J (and btw, I think the key to how Jon survives/comes back lays exactly in this), and I think Jon was conceived with love, rather than a product of rape.
In this video, I tried to show the story of Lyanna, Rhaegar and Robert, and even Cersei, they way I feel it, imagine it and see it.
For those who don't find it clear enough - here is a summary.
Robert Baratheron and Lyanna Stark were betrothed. But Lyanna wasn't quite happy about it since she felt nothing for him. She and prince Rhaegar Targarien met, there was obviously a spark. On the tournament of Harrenhall, when Rhaegar won and had to name the queen of love and beauty, everyone expected him to pick his wife, Elia Martell, but he gave the roses to Lyanna. According to most people, after that he kidnapped her (aka the voiceover of Bran telling Osha about it), but the truth was she left with him willingly. Robert was hurt and believed Lyanna was kidnapped, miserable, etc. While she was happy and she and Rhaegar were in love. Robert decided to start the rebllion to get her back. When he and Rhaegar though, the prince died, which broke Lyanna. Her brother Ned found her in the Tower of Joy dying, and with her last words, she made him give her a promise (NOTE, I am not showing her pregnant or having had Jon on purpose, I want the focus to be on other stuff). Robert was heartbroken. As the new king, he had to marry and he married Cersei Lannister, who at the time worshipped him. But Roberth never forgot Lyanna, even almost 20 years later.
I hope I managed to do well with this video. At first, I was gonna use Liv Tyler (Arwen) and Orlando Blum (Legolas) ot Thranduil (Lee Pace) as Lyanna and Rhaegar, and I decided against it. Sorry for the bad quality of the Rhaegar clips, but it was the only version of The Witcher that my Sony Vegas opened.
The quotes written in the video are from the A song of ice and fire series, and the voiceovers are from Game of Thrones.
