If you cried during Game of Thrones' Red Wedding scene,four corners of eroticism you weren't alone.
In an oral history of the infamous "Rains of Castamere" episode of Game of Thronespublished by Entertainment WeeklyFriday, a few members of the show's cast and crew recalled what it was like to shoot the Red Wedding, the emotions that were in the air on set, and how much everyone cried.
Game of Thrones' Red Wedding is one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in television history, depicting the moment where Robb Stark's mistake in deciding to marry Talisa cost him his life at the hands of the Freys, as well as the lives of Talisa, his mother Catelyn, his direwolf, and countless Stark bannermen.

"It was, Michelle and I, our last scene on Game of Thrones," Madden said in the oral history. "It had been an exhausting five-day shoot. We were mentally exhausted. I cried my eyes out, completely — as did a lot of the crew and other actors. It was very emotional."
"If we shot The Red Wedding and nobody got emotional, it would be a failure"
"We had become such a family," Chaplin said. "I hadn’t clocked that the end was neigh."
But the scene itself is such a powerful moment in the story and so well acted, especially with Fairley's final moment before her throat is slit and the credits roll in silence, that it impacted people all over the production.
Director David Nutter recalled hearing the hair and makeup people crying during the shoot, and Chaplin admitted that when she was "killed" she had to stop herself from crying because, well, dead people aren't supposed to cry.
Showrunner David Benioff said that he noticed people crying after the moment Robb was killed, too.
"I remember turning to the to the script supervisor after one take where Richard was dying and I was like, 'That was a good take.' And she was just bawling," he said. "It’s a bittersweet thing. You’re making all these people sad. But on the other hand, that’s kind of the idea. If we shot The Red Wedding and nobody got emotional, it would be a failure."
Fairley was so shaken up from the event that she said she had a hard time returning calls or talking to anybody.
