Every September, there is such an American drama that always returns as scheduled.
It's known for gore , violence, horror....
Each season has a different style, haunted houses, madhouses, witches, freak shows... It's a little uncomfortable not to be surprised by this show every year.
It is the famous American horror series ("American Horror Story")!
Since its launch, "American Horror" has won numerous awards, and it has been soft on the Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
Of course, the success of the US-horror series is inseparable from director Ryan Murphy .
He is good at telling all kinds of R-rated topics.
"Stimulus", "large scale" and "heavy taste" are his pronouns.
Whether it's crime or fringe topics, pornography, and all kinds of spooky and spooky horror stories, Ryan Murphy has everything you need.
It is a pity that this year's "American Fear Season 10" has been postponed to next year.
In order to make up for the regrets of fans, Ryan Murphy came up with his new work, the story of the devil "Ratchett" .
Ratchett
Ratched
The whole season is out!
Looking at the poster, the main actor has been announced for everyone.
Ryan Murphy's old partner "Sister Banana" Sarah Paulson will play nurse Mildred Ratchett in this series.
Mental hospital + Ryan Murphy + Banana sister, no one will believe that this is the sequel to "American Horror Lunatic Asylum".
Retro buildings similar to The Shining;
Constantly changing spooky color filters;
Add dramatic conflict, and Ryan Murphy's characteristic kinky thriller, violence, and sex. Sure enough, every episode is full of surprises.
In addition to Sister Banana, most of the actors in the play are Murphy's old team!
The villain "Master" Finn Whitlock in the American horror show
Judy Davis ("Enemies: Betty and Joan");
The most surprising thing is that this "Sex and the City" star "Miranda" Cynthia Nixon joined.
She plays the governor's secretary in the play, and has a sweet relationship with "Sister Banana".
The role of Ratchett comes from the classic "horror" movie "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest". In the film version, Louise Fletcher won the Oscar and the Golden Globe Award for this role in one fell swoop.
In the American Film Institute (AFI) Top 100 Villains list, she ranks fifth, only "lower" than Hannibal ("Silence of the Lambs"), Norman Bates ("Psycho"), Darren Vader ("Star Wars") and The Witch of the West ("Wizard of Oz").
Especially her cold face, using coercive means to treat (control) those "mad people" is unforgettable to this day, and the scalp is numb.
This time, Ryan Murphy will trace the predecessor of "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and tell the story of the horror nurse - "Ratchett" in the past .
How does a nurse cover the sky with only one hand in the hospital? This is probably the question that many people will have when they watch "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest" for the first time.
Ratchett explains this for you.
Use wisdom!
(It all depends on the opponent Taicai)
If you don't have an interview appointment, fake one.
He then preempted, accusing the doctor in charge of Hanover of impoliteness for keeping her waiting too long.
A second ago, the Hannover doctor who was teased by the governor was in a fit of rage, and he was fooled.
She was also attracted by Ms. Banana's excellent eloquence and professional experience, but due to the shortage of hospital funds, she was temporarily unable to hire her.
Miss Banana, who was rejected, was not discouraged, because she had already thought of a countermeasure.
If I don't recruit people, then let others make way for me.
Here, the secretary to the governor saw the political value behind funding the hospital and persuaded the governor.
The funding problem was also resolved, and Banana sister successfully entered the hospital.
And this is just the beginning.
On the day of the governor's visit, she first sneaked into the pharmacy to steal patient A's medicine, causing the patient's discomfort.
Then she took the opportunity to stage a scene of saving people in front of the public. Sure enough, the governor praised her well.
She was also invited to take a photo with the governor instead of the Hanover doctor.
In the second step, she deliberately told Patient B that his family did not want him to be discharged from the hospital, completely defeating the other's psychological defense.
He was also lured to the doctor's office, where the patient committed suicide.
Hearing the news, the Hanoverian doctor was very frightened by the scene in front of him. On such an important day as today, the patient committed suicide in his office and he was to blame.
If not, the governor's aid program will also be put on hold, and the hospital will go out of business.
This is far more serious for him than a suicidal patient.
The flustered Hannover doctor didn't know what to do, so Sister Banana stood up again to solve the crisis for him.
Of course, all this comes at a price.
From now on, her status in the hospital will be unshakable, and the Hanoverian doctor will have to obey her.
In this way, Mildred Ratchett created a perfect nurse image for himself, and successfully penetrated into the hospital step by step, and tried to control the entire hospital.
And she planned all this so deliberately, all to save a perverted killer.
Her brother, Edmund .
He killed four priests overnight, sparking outrage calling for the killer's immediate execution.
After being arrested by the police, the police escorted the priest killer to a psychiatric hospital.
And the key people who decide whether he can go to the guillotine, one is the only surviving eyewitness priest that day, and the other is the Hanoverian doctor who made a mental diagnosis for him.
Only if he was diagnosed as mentally ill could he survive.
He began to pretend to be mad and foolish, trying to fool the Hanoverian doctor, but it was clear that the doctor was not fooled.
However, the Hanoverian doctor does not seem to want Edmund to be guillotined.
Because for him, the "pervert killer" is a good sample for medical research.
Hanoverian doctors have an almost insane paranoia about psychiatric surgery, and it can even be said that they are omnipotent.
Audiences who have watched the US-horror series should know that most of the horror stories told in Ryan Murphy's lenses are modeled on real cases and real people , and then rendered and adapted.
Like the haunted house in the first season, the witch incident in the third season, the freak show in the fourth season, as well as sorcery, heretics...etc.
In particular, the methods of treating mentally ill patients in the second season of "The Asylum" are well-documented in history.
And "Ratchett", which is "in the same vein" as "American Fear: The Asylum", is no exception.
A long time ago, people regarded mental patients, deformed children, homosexuals, etc. as demons and wanted to heal them into normal people.
But at that time, the knowledge of mental illnesses that people had was limited, and those mental hospitals that specialized in treating mentally ill patients were almost as good as hell.
Even, in order to treat this "strange disease", some doctors have carried out inhumane medical experiments.
hydrotherapy
The patient is sedated by adjusting the water temperature and pressure in a specially made bathtub, which is relatively "gentle" in many treatments.
In addition, there are electric shock therapy , psychological hypnosis , etc., among which the most appalling treatment is the lobectomy of the forebrain .
forebrain lobectomy
The lobectomy of the forebrain has been called the most "humiliating" history of the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
This inhumane procedure was invented by Portuguese doctor António Cae-tanode Abreu Freire Egas Moniz as a neurosurgery to treat mental illness.
Dr. Monis performed lobectomy on patients with chronic schizophrenia and severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
After surgery, these patients became very tame and docile. Violence, anxiety and other behaviors have also decreased, which did have a certain effect in the eyes of people at the time.
However, the damage to the patient's brain is irreversible.
To perform this procedure, the doctor drills a small hole on each side of the patient's skull, and then inserts a leukotomizer through the hole into the patient's brain to perform the operation.
Later, American doctor Walter Freeman carried out an "improved and upgraded" lobectomy.
Using an awl similar to an ice pick and a hammer, the patient was given electric shocks instead of drug anesthesia.
During the operation, the awl is chiseled into the orbit through the upper part of the eyeball, destroying the corresponding cranial nerve.
Those patients show signs of dementia-like, mental retardation after surgery, and thus lose consciousness of resistance.
In the play, Miss Banana used the Hanoverian doctor's modified forebrain lobectomy to turn the only witness into an idiot.
Then she threatened the doctor with the governor to replace her as the head nurse and succeeded in taking the position.
The story seemed to follow the route she planned, but at this moment, the pig teammates lost their chains.
Banana sister plans to hold a dance, according to the plan, at the dance Edmund will self-harm to make everyone think he is mentally ill.
However, Edmund and the trainee nurse developed a mutual affection, and secretly discussed how to escape in private.
The pair first killed a security guard at the dance, then shot and wounded the governor's secretary before fleeing.
The plan was completely disrupted, the trainee nurse was also killed by the police on the way to escape, and everything went back to the starting point.
As the plot progresses, more and more secrets emerge.
The Hanoverian doctor, who is not called Hanover, once sawed off the limbs of his victims under the influence of hallucinogens, and tried frantically to connect other limbs with needles and threads to treat patients.
Later, in order to avenge her son, the victim's mother paid a lot of money to hire a killer.
He had to hide his name and escaped here.
He dedicated his life to his career, thinking he could be a great psychiatrist.
But he was aggressive, paranoid, crazy, desperate for surgery. He died tragically at the hands of his own patient.
And the tragic life experiences of the two brothers .
They are not related by blood, but they were both abandoned by their biological parents when they were young, and later adopted by the same orphanage.
In order not to separate the siblings, the welfare home volunteers revised their birth certificates.
In the days that followed, they were fostered in several families, but each time they were abandoned again.
The last time, the family he adopted them didn't abuse them and gave them ice cream.
They thought that fate would no longer trick them, and that they would live happily ever after.
But as everyone knows, the hand of fate always guides them unconsciously towards the pre-set life path.
The sanctimonious couple earns a lot of money by threatening their siblings for sex and inviting guests with peculiar fetishes to watch.
One night, the siblings finally couldn't stand the inhuman torture and humiliation. The younger brother picked up a pair of scissors and stabbed the couple in the eyes.
After the incident, the sister ran away, and the younger brother was imprisoned in the reformation center and took all the guilt.
It is precisely because of the guilt that he left his brother to escape back then that Ratchett is now desperate to save his brother.
Compared with the indifferent and ruthless head nurse Ratchett in "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest", Ratchett seems to still retain a touch of humanity at this time.
Before entering the hospital, Ratchett was a field nurse.
In order to save those disabled soldiers who were unable to be saved and could not be relieved, she begged bitterly, she ended their lives with what she thought was "mercy".
In order to save his younger brother, he did not hesitate to harm other people.
But after the younger brother "betrayed her" and destroyed her original plan, the dark seeds that had been lurking for a long time hidden under Ratchett's fashionable appearance were growing in her heart.
This time, she will end her brother's life with her own hands.
Perhaps evil is not innate.
But when everything is out of control, it can devour hearts.
