"American Horror Story" is a ghost film that follows the traditional route. At the beginning of the play, there are indeed some "people" in the ghost house, but by the end of the play, they all become ghosts. But ghosts are true and false. Some people are dead, but they are still humans; some are alive, but they are already ghosts. Of course, there are also some characters in the play. They are already ghosts when they are alive, and they are ghosts after they die, which cannot be measured by common sense.
What really makes a ghost is a narrow mind, a strong obsession, and an extremely immature character. I think only three of the main characters are normal. One is the heroine Vivian. She is very kind and reasonable. Even if she is suspicious of her husband, she is justified. The second is the black policeman. In my history of watching American dramas, he is probably the second handsome black man (advertising: the first handsome is the guy "sneaked" by the singing girl in "Boston Law"), and he has a strong physique. , Stable and reliable, considerate, from the speech and behavior can feel that this person is very level, as deep as the sea (what am I writing...==). The third is the maid. She has a big chest, a good life, and a sexy dress. Although she will never be superborn, her heart is so pure and innocent. Seeing her makes people feel that the world is still hopeful. The rest are neurotic.
…Or bad guys at least. The cause of this group of lunatics is easy to explain. They are all obsessed with too much, wanting to be dissatisfied, and taking themselves too seriously, so they can't turn the corner, and the result... it becomes such a virtue.
1) Constance
Constance is a leader in the gang of bad guys. Although she is charming, she has fierce eyes and violent air all over her body. She even suspects that the daughter Addy, who is born stupid, has snatched her little white face. In fact, out of female instinct, many mothers have the same-sex jealousy towards their biological daughters, but they are controlled by their conscience and morality. But for a smart and beautiful person like Constance, first the actor’s dream was blocked, then her husband cheated, and then she gave birth to N fetuses with fetal deformities. She simply spent her best twenty years as a woman in suffering. Moderate suffering is the discipline of life, but excessive suffering can make people complain.
However, she is still very combative and strong. She must have had too many dreams of prosperity and wealth when she was young and beautiful, but she ended up in a bleak evening scene. Although she said on the surface that she accepted it all, she must be unable to swallow it in her heart. In this tone, this turned her into an old woman with a little girl's mind, presumably this is the cause of her tragedy.
She refused to forgive. For example, if her husband and maid were caught and raped in bed by her, she must concoct a murder case, fire two volleys, and ruin the lives of the three of them. Weapon~" To solve the problem, you must use "Avada Suo Ming!" I have to mention Jessica Lange’s performance. Jiang is indeed old and spicy. Her temperament is actually quite generous and elegant, but Constance—the trembling tone, which seems to be hysterical at any time, is extremely accurate. She Worthy of two Oscars, he is a true performing artist.
2) Tate & Violet
Tate has an innocent and innocent face of a devil. It wasn't until I watched Lindsay Anderson's 1968 "If" yesterday that I realized that Tate was simply a copy of Malcolm McDowell, and his evil spirit probably came from this. Tate has the quintessence of the classic McDowell-like character-Form 2. He is as tyrannical as "A Clockwork Orange", as empty as "The Roman Empire", and of course, he uses a machine gun like "If".
Tate is a lot like preschool kids: Whenever someone points out that they talked in class or didn't do their homework, even if the evidence is conclusive, they will turn their heads to one side and yell, "I didn't do it... I didn't do it..." Of course it's okay for children to do this. , But Tate has been dead for more than thirty years, still daring to do it, even if he commits an unforgivable felony, he always wants to fool him with "Sorry" with tears. The last few episodes are simply a collection of Sorry, a Tate and a male lead, and two fools who are full of "I'm sorry" are endless, I'm sorry, don't sing Sorry is the hardest word, this word is not used by you The guy who knows how to take responsibility makes it so cheap.
Tate's other trick is to complain about her mad mother, who uses fierce words, as if posting on the Parents' Harm Group. The male protagonist in E12 has already given a very precise summary: many people look for a psychologist, but it is useless at all. They pay only to find someone to listen to their complaints, and then they have the motivation to continue to escape. I personally think that it is not the behavior that an adult should take to take the family factors and environment out to talk about things without looking for reasons from oneself, and constantly complaining about how miserable one is.
Tate is the same as Xuehu in "White Night Walk". It is reasonable to say that he has reached the age of no confusion. What is so special that I force some worries of the young Werte every day, saying that my heart is a lone hunter, I am lonely than fireworks and other nonsense. —— Friends who pay attention to me should know that I am a very second-year person, so I especially don’t see others in the second year. How can I rob me of the limelight in this aspect of self-pity and self-pity — so for Tate this kind of waste wood , I really want to shake his shoulders and spray him with stars: "You can't overcome a childhood shadow, what the hell can you do?!"
Let's talk about the shocking love between Tate and Violet. At first, I liked Violet very much. As an old woman who had passed away, I thought she was good-looking, and I didn't even dislike her pretending to be forced to smoke. At first I thought she was an Ellen Page-like character in "Juno". Later, the plot took a turn for the worse. She and Tate had a relationship with their children, and their rebellious and independent temperament disappeared. When sonic youth played the game, it was almost impossible for them to release my. heart will go on.
Tate is a forty-year-old boy with multiple lives and no love experience at all. Violet was even worse. She "attempted" her suicide for Tate, even indirectly sending her mother to a mental hospital-everyone was like this when they first fell in love, and they all felt that the world was only this big. It’s a pity that, in the first place, the adults are all bitter and hated. The young couple interspersed between them are fragile and weird. They are really good-looking. They are just a match made in heaven. I'm half old. The mistress almost had to believe in love again—and then—I got angry when I mentioned it, the screenwriter and the screenwriter actually blackened the two of them.
The boss Tate himself is already a big pervert who puts himself in the SM rubber jacket. It cannot be measured by common sense. I ignore him; but, dear Violet, how can you be so mean? This man looks like Malcolm McDowell, do you continue to believe him? What's more, where can I persuade my mother to die? In fact, although our Violet has a very high intelligence, maverick, cool and elegant look, but seeing her crying and crying virtue of Tate, it shows that she is still an out-and-out little girl-since she is a little girl, Will want to rely on others to solve the problem. But after she died, she was trapped in the house with a group of crazy ghosts. When she encountered problems, she couldn't find the police, so she had to find her parents. She was too scared to face the lonely and neurotic life after death. She needed her usual nagging mother too much.
The story of Tate and Violet tells us some truths:
1. When first love, everyone takes it very seriously, and finally realizes that they are farting, and the answer is floating in the wind-but it has often caused catastrophic consequences, such as Violet. , The whole family is destroyed.
2. Adults must dare to act. For example, when you were fifteen years old, you had a campus shooting. Thirty years later, you should be full of desperadoes, with one arm tattooed on your sleeves, and don't cry.
3. "I'm so painful", "I'm so lonely", and the most abominable "I'm so sorry" are all forbidden sentences. They will completely destroy the audience's favorability for the character and blast him to scum.
4. Young people should not always think that their parents are outdated. If they have problems, they should still find their parents. It’s better to have parents than anything else. If you have any questions, communicate and negotiate first.
5. Most importantly, don't use masked sex toys! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
3) Burned man, Hayden, Travis
There are many movies and televisions about the junior three. Like "Doctor Zhivago," the junior is so elegant and elegant. Only by personal charm to defeat the original match of the same three-good girl, it blurs the moral boundaries. Hayden clearly belongs to another film genre, namely, a nonexistent 80s family ethics film starring Michael Douglas.
Hayden's problem, to put it bluntly, is not good for the hero. The male protagonist is self-conscious and suave. Like every psychiatrist, he doesn't want anything except sex. When there is a problem in the married life, he will hook up with the little girl, but he always gives up! Hayden became a little grudge. When Hayden was alive, she was not as vicious as Constance. She was at best a careful half-eldest girl, but unfortunately, she died before she could recover from the shadow of the hero abandoning her, so she had a complete face. Distorted aside, her laughter and demeanor have also become very weird and profanity, making the audience hate her more and more-the director definitely did it deliberately.
In fact, like Hayden’s despair of broken love and abortion, he will experience one or two times in his life. It feels that the world collapses and the earth does not turn, so many people can’t help but enter the curse mode, hoping that others will not die, all It's unlucky for everyone to accompany themselves, the end of the world is here, and the universe is also a big bang. I feel that the choreographer wants to use Hayden, who is in the ghost mode, to persuade everyone that time will always wash away the unpleasant memories.
The one who had the same illness with Hayden was the burned man who killed her. The burned man is ugly but very gentle. It will be revealed later that it was an obsession—well, Constance has broken his family for so many years, and is still obsessed with it. However, I feel that what he did was not really out of love, but because he paid too much for Constance. If he didn’t take back something, he really couldn’t swallow this breath, so he had to die all the time. Stunned and beaten down. Like Hayden, he couldn't give up, couldn't face the truth, couldn't get out of trouble, couldn't become strong.
In stark contrast to them is the innocent Travis. He may have some Oedipus and masochistic complexes. He has an irresistible attachment to the irritable Constance, and he likes children. So his life after death is still easy and happy, he can't live with himself. Finally, a scene in which the Hispanic family was driven out of the ghost house was collectively dispatched, which divided the nature of ghosts: the ghosts who were dispatched still have the possibility of being redeemed. They are still kind-hearted people in the mouth of the maid, like The severely deformed Beau is also very good; and those hiding in the dark corners, probably can only stay alone forever.
The ratings of "American Horror Story" are said to be quite gratifying, with an average of 3.5 million, and the finale exceeded 5 million. I wanted to carry forward the spirit of a harmonious society and criticize the empty, bloodthirsty, sinful, and decadent capitalist American emperor, but sincere As you can see, this is actually a traditional family ethics drama that is about to become extinct in our bad age, and it is full of preaching and fatalism, with positive values, healthy, and progressive, just like a textbook of ideological and moral character. I think this drama is suitable for family viewing. It has the effects of strengthening the body, refreshing the brain, and improving the moral level. And it tells everyone straightforwardly, to relax, to be kind, to return to the family, to trust in the family, and to learn. Take responsibility, don’t be okay, and don’t just use... well, masked sex toys.
