I finally understand why Aunt Lan likes working with Ryan Murphy so much

Because Mei feared to know Aunt Lan and was amazed by her acting skills, she felt that she was absolutely beautiful when she was young.

Aunt Lan in Frances is so beautiful and heartbreaking. I had to turn my head away every time she struggled. When I was raped in a mental hospital, I couldn't stop crying. The story is so cruel and her acting is amazing.

Later, the four seasons of the United States and fear, and even the later enemies, most of the roles played by Aunt Lan have similarities. Compared with when he was young, although his face is old, his acting skills are more exquisite, and he can easily play such roles.

Maybe she stopped after the Four Seasons of Fear of America because she felt that the roles were too similar, and later she worked with the bald-headed rival politician. Maybe there are also wonderful scripts and the bald head will persuade people.

But I personally think it's more important that Ryan Murphy really understands Jessica Lange.

When it comes to the older generation of Hollywood actresses, it seems that only "California's legal nominee" Meryl Streep is still in the film industry. Aunt Mei's acting skills are really good, I will never deny it, but Aunt Lan will never be worse than Aunt Mei. From my personal point of view, I may prefer Aunt Lan's acting style.

Sophie's Choice

Not a professional performer, just talking about her feelings from the audience's point of view, Aunt Lan gave me the feeling of "personalization", her performance has a strong personal imprint, especially her performance on TV in recent years. I feel that a role is fixed after she has played it, and it is difficult for others to shake the impression she brings to the audience, and even if the actors who play with her have good acting skills, she is always very attractive. Of course, it may also be because I have a filter for Aunt Lan.

Frances was born at an untimely time, so she ran into Sophie's Choice. Not only did we think so, maybe the Academy of that year was the same, so they would give the best female partner to Aunt Lan. The compensation is self-evident. But time will slowly wear away the mark, and the winner will be remembered by history. Frances is definitely worthy of a golden statue in any other year, but now people find it like a pearl in the ocean.

Aunt Lan doesn't seem to be a very "worldly" person all the time, but she is by no means a person who doesn't fight or grab. Like Huppert, she likes to play a mad woman (Quote: There's nothing I like playing better than madness), and she is indeed a master of the "crazy beauty genre". After the sixtieth year, he is still willing to set foot in the TV field to perform horror dramas such as AHS, which are not very popular in the mainstream, and present the audience with sad, pitiful and hateful crazy performances again and again. But you can also see her rejoicing when she won the Oscar for Best Actress, her trademark shyness repeated, and it's not too late that Oscar owes her finally.

There are a lot of Frances shadows in Ryan Murphy's stuff. Frances himself is very similar to the origin of Aunt Lan's role in the four seasons. It is likely that Ryan wrote it for Aunt Lan. The madhouse in the second season of American fear is too similar to the mental hospital scene in Frances. Frances was tortured by the media and was cynical about Hollywood's style and had to make people think of her old enemy. In the end, Bette asked the media and capital to apologize to Joan. Also, Ratchtree's frontal lobectomy and Frances' lobotomy are almost identical.

American Horror Story

Ratched

Aunt Lan said a long time ago about her recognition of Frances, and said with a smile that this movie should be more of a golden statuette, who knows. Maybe in Aunt Lan's heart, Frances did not get the recognition she deserved, but Ryan gave it and did it very good.

Instead of being overwhelmed, Frances' glory has returned in a different way.
