ファンタジーが苦手です。好きになりたくって，ロード・オブ・ザ・リングの三部作にも果敢に挑戦しましたが，いずれも始めの30分で涙の爆睡でした。ハリーポッターでさえ，あまり集中できずに困っています。実はスターウォーズすらファンタジー色を強く感じて乗れずに悩んでいます。そして，ファンタジー以上に，興味をもてないのが，「ベン・ハー」的な西洋の古代戦記物です。
I have no interest in fantasy. Still, I thought it would be great if I came to like it, so I bravely tried all three films of the series called “The Lord of the Rings” to end up dozing off in less than thirty minutes each time. I can’t concentrate on seeing Harry Potter series very much, too. Actually, I was not excited about even Star Wars series because I somehow found them kinds of fantasy. There is another genre of movie that I’m not interested in at all, that genre is the western ancient war movies like “Ben-Hur”.
海外ドラマ「ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ」ダイジェスト映像
アマゾンプライムでシーズン６まで見放題のドラマ「ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ」のあらすじを知った時，自分の苦手な要素が満載でたじろぎました。しかし，苦手を克服するチャンスだと，恐る恐る視聴してみました。シーズン１の冒頭，いきなりのゾンビ登場にくじけそうになりましたが勇気を出して見続けてみると……。
I couldn’t help recoiling when I knew the outline of the drama series “Game of Thrones” which you can see from the 1st season up to 6th on Amazon Prime Video without charge, because it was full of something I have no interest. However, I gave it a try with some trepidation because I thought it would be a chance to overcome what I didn’t like. At the beginning of the 1st season, I was almost giving up due to zombies who showed up suddenly, but I continued…….
いつの間にか夢中になって観ていました。寝るどころか，体操座りでした。残虐なシーンも多く，人間関係が途方もなく複雑で，正直よくつかめていない部分もあるのにこんなに観れているのは，ひとえに登場人物の魅力だと思います。単純な勧善懲悪ものと違い，一人一人に人間味があって，その心情に共感できるところがあります。自分が特に好きなのは，小人症の俳優，ピーター・ディンクレイジさんが演じるティリオン・ラニスターという役柄です。生まれついての小さな体格で，父や兄妹から疎まれながらも，したたかに奔放に生きている人物です。
Somehow, I found myself absorbed in it. Far from dozing off, I actually sat up with my arms around my knees. Even though there were many cruel scenes and the characters’ relationships were very complicated so I couldn’t understand some part of the plot well, I was perfectly into it because of the charms of characters. This story is quite different from a mere moral play because every character has something I feel empathy for. The character I particularly like is a guy called Tyrion Lannister played by an actor named Peter Dinklage who suffers from dwarfism. With his naturally tiny build, he has been neglected by his father and siblings, but he lives his life shrewdly and wildly.
気が付くと，もう第4シーズンです。この勢いに乗って，ファンタジー好きになれたら，また世界が広がると喜んでいます。
Now I find myself seeing the 4th season already. With this momentum, I might be able to like fantasy, so I’m delightfully expecting that I can expand the world I’m interested in.
