It can be said that the American Horror Story series has been heard for a long time, but I have never found a chance to enjoy it. This time I finally squeezed out the time to finish the first season. This is a series full of Western culture. And, the mid-life crisis between husband and wife, etc., all of which appear in the film. The opening of each episode in the play is about the story of the deceased in the haunted house. I vaguely remember the weird painting style at the beginning of the first episode, a deserted building. The house, a strange-looking girl stared at it in a daze at the door, and two very daring little kids entered the house and smashed objects. The flashback style makes the audience gradually understand why the heroine is so dissatisfied with the hero, and despite the hero's best efforts, he can't get the hero's forgiveness. The rebellious daughter meets the handsome guy who suddenly appears, as if everything is a mystery. With the progress of the plot, the fog presented in front of our eyes is peeled off layer by layer, and we can also see the gentle side of motherhood. Their love for their children is Hongda, and Hongda can distort their personalities and disregard everything. , only for children, Tate's character image also shows us what kind of monsters can hatch from a child who lacks love when he grows up, maybe that's why Tate hates others for rejecting him, he is afraid of losing the love of others His love, from his mother, the brilliance of maternal love is infinitely magnified, even if her four children have problems, perhaps physically, or psychologically, but mother's love allows her to tolerate everything. So when she saw her grandson was born, she could not wait to take the child as her own, and face her husband's cheating early, she felt empty , Finally found a lover who can make her no longer lonely, but because her lover cheated again, she lost her beloved again. From her son, her husband, her daughter, to her lover, life has hit her mercilessly again and again. Fortunately, she is very strong. In the face of all injustices and misfortunes, she has never bowed to her fate, and in the end she has surrendered that fate is best for her. 's answer. Although she got another Tate, from her inner point of view, I think she was more hopeful and more willing to see the shadow of her son in her grandson, and there are many people with tragic fate in the play, maids, Gay men, Hayden, the victims of the Nishino High School massacre, etc. They were originally worthy of our sympathy. They were innocent. Everyone else accepted their destiny. Except for Hayden, she changed from a victim to a perpetrator. , she longed for the love of the male protagonist, but this longing was transformed after her death and turned into a wish only for children. We are always easy to ignore the feelings of others and put ourselves first, and this psychological phenomenon is clearly manifested in the play. The little lover and actress in the play have always wanted to be famous all over the world, but it is a pity that their wish was only realized after their death, which is indeed a great tragedy. After talking about the plot, let’s talk about the subjective feeling of watching the movie. Compared with the rhythm of the previous film, the plot connection in the next few episodes is not very good. Small flaws can't make us deny the brilliance of the whole movie. Many Western cultures and domestic cultures in the play are similar in purpose. Ghosts are the most obvious example. If we deal with the plot of the hero's death, it may be the whole series. The style will go to a new level. Of course, this is just my personal subjective feeling and does not represent everyone's point of view. The audience is welcome to share their experiences.
