Is this pattern a chaotic but fascinating act of feminist resistance? Is it coincidence? Is it totally meaningless?
Say goodbye. Photo-Illustration: Vulture, Universal Pictures, HBO and Warner Bros. Emilia Clarke has been deservedly and wildly famous for nearly a decade, but because most of that time was spent fucking around in Westeros and incidentally ruining my life, her résumé is somewhat limited.
First off, we have Game of Thrones. In it, Emilia Clarke plays Daenerys , who falls in love with Khal Drogo, her rapist and husband. Soon thereafter, he is mortally injured in, uh, battle? I don’t remember how and I refuse to look it up. Anyway, Dany, devastated, attempts to revive him with the help of a witch. But then she’s like, “Wait, actually, no, he’s acting really freaky and I think he should be dead.” And so he dies.
Lou falls for him anyway, and spends the movie trying to convince him that life is worth living. At the end of the movie, he’s like, “Well actually, sorry, I still do want to die.” He goes to Switzerland to shuffle off this mortal coil. Lou accompanies him on his voyage, does the requisite rending of her mad garments, then leaves for Paris with a nice chunk of his change and sips a cappuccino at a café, smiling.
That is, until she meets Tom , a nice man with a normal coat who shows up out of nowhere and begins to teach her about the beauty of the world around her. Kate eventually lets her guard down and falls for Tom, only to discover … he’s dead. Near the end of the film, Tom tells Kate that he was killed in a bike accident a year earlier , and actually, he gave … her … his heart … when he died. Now he’s here to make sure she doesn’t waste her life electrocuting animals.
