Game of Thrones final season is approching and every weeks we get a little more about the show behind the scenes, cast interviews, predictions and analysis videos of youtuber fans. As a fervent fan myself and the waiting being painfully long (Did my waiting, TWO years in Azkaban ^^ !) I keep feeding myself with all of the videos above when I can. But last week one video in particular, made me feel really happy. And yet there wasn't much about Game of Thrones but it was more about the relationship of two actress : Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner.
My favorite character of the entire show is Arya Stark and quickly Maisie became one of my favorite actress as well, so I started following her work. Throught those years watching the show, I enjoyed as well a lot the off-screen parts of Maisie and Sophie. It is so endearing and fresh to see those young girls and then women have this bond in the Hollywood Industry. I'm not saying that in Hollywood women are always in competition, against each other; instead lately we see more and more actress involving themself in women's causes and speaking for their rights. That's great and important. But sometime I can't help but feel that some of those are staged, and Hollywood is just playing the feminist marketing card without really solving their issues. So in an already not so friendly environnement for women, it is nice to see Maisie and Sophie have this genuine, caring and sweet bond. Maybe I'm a fool and it's not as genuine as I think it is but thanks to those girls, I'm hopeful to see more and more of this kind of friendship in the Holywood and cinema scenery and women generally being inspired to support each other. Also the idea of soulmate being only romantic relationships is just broken down in this interview and I love it ! Yes you can be soulmate with someone and not have any romantic feeling for them !
