Sophie Turner looked back on “Game of Thrones” as part of a long interview with Flaunt Magazine – in particular on the stage in which her new Ramsay Bolton husband (played by Iwan Rheon) raped her character during their wedding night. The scene sparked a lot of controversy, but Turner said that she still thought that the show “actually did a lot of justice to women”.
“I felt – and I always do it – that” Game of Thrones “said a light on things that many people were like” Oh my God, you cannot show this kind of thing ” – and I understand that it can be triggered – I understand this point of view,” started Turner.
“But I felt that we are doing a lot of justice to women and that women fight had to fight for hundreds of thousands of years – patriarchy, treated as objects and being constantly sexually assaulted – I do not think there is a woman whom I know who did not have a form.”
Rheon, for his part, previously described the shooting of the stretched scene as “the worst day of my career”.
“It was horrible. No one wanted to be there. No one wants to do that, but if it tells a story, you have to tell it honestly,” he said to Metro in 2020. “They didn’t feel it or anything. It was very, very difficult to look at. It is a horrible thing that happens, unfortunately … it was the worst day of my career.”
“Cutting someone’s finger, you don’t really see it, and when you do like a close-up, it’s a piece of plastic. We act, it’s not real. So something like that where you are in the real reality of the situation is very difficult to manage,” he continued. “It was a horrible and horrible day. It is something that we should not even have to worry about, because it is something that should not exist in this world but unfortunately it is.”
Turner also told Flaunt that when she shares her point of view with men from the distribution of sexual assault, many of them do not believe it.
“And it’s because we don’t do it [talk about] That’s enough-we get away from it, ”she said.
Turner added: “But I am really proud to have been part of” Game of Thrones “where they did not hesitate to show atrocities that arrived at women at the time. I am proud to have been part of the conversation.”
