rest till death

Not surprisingly, it makes sense, this is a story that will end in death. The world's love, hate, and hatred are too much trouble and entanglement. Only by dying can we return to peace, and happiness can be stabilized. Despite the ominous hope, or the hidden danger of evil, it seems that it is better to leave this mortalcoil after all. I don't know if there is some religious implication, but the characters in the play are always fettered by too many evils born of love in this world, hesitating between career/academic and family. At first glance, one step is wrong, one step is wrong. In fact, there is no chance to do the right thing at all. Because of fate, there is no other way, and then reincarnation, living like Sisyphus, and refusing to drink Meng Po soup when he dies. Until everyone has become a ghost, it seems that the balance of strength and the basic contradiction have been resolved. Maybe this is the so-called afterlife. After all, sinners who are unrepentant can't go anywhere else. The sound effects are terrifying, the light and shadow settings are terrifying, and scenes such as murder and bloodshed, cutting and stitching corpses are terrifying, but in the theory of "Monster Cat", this is just a "shape". The terrifying "truth" is not the undead of another world, nor is it the chaos, weirdness and madness of Yin and Yang, but the blindness of the heart and the blind obedience of action. The "reason" is: they breed conjectures and doubts, and nurture the bond of evil.

    After watching the first episode, I particularly liked the scene where the vinyl man had sex with the heroine. But after reading it, I was a little afraid of becoming a counselor in the future. . .

    Editing, montage, narrative structure, actor performance... This is a superb work no matter how you look at it. It's pretty impressive. The performances of various actors are also qualified, adding a force to the film. There are not many dramas that can stick to the narrative of E01, let alone horror dramas. The mystery is uncovered by layers of cocoons, and the strange warmth of Christmas in the last episode is full of mixed feelings. The ending pit makes people look forward to it even more!

American Horror Story quotes

  • Sally Freeman: [after Ben presses the "Record" button on his tape recorder] He's going through with it and there's nothing I can do to stop him. We're supposed to sign the papers next week and that's it. 23 years gone with the stroke of a pen. I'm so upset. And I wonder if I'll ever be able to love or be loved again.

    Dr. Ben Harmon: What was the reason your husband is seeking the divorce?

    Sally Freeman: He says I'm very boring. I've tried to converse with him on a variety of subjects. Sports, for instance. I've even learned the names of Football teams he follows. Let's see; there's the Chargers, the 49ers, the Raiders, the Sea Hawks up in Seattle. That's the West Coast. And the Cardinals, they're in Arizona. I memorized them for him. I'm very good at memorization. I can still name the states and all of their capitols which I learned in the 6th grade. My memory helps with my work. I'm an accountant by trade, but I'm branching out into taxes.

    [All this time, Ben goes from listening to spacing out due to Sally's boring rambling]

  • Billie Dean Howard: I think we're gonna get a pickup on my Lifetime pilot. And as soon as we do, I wanna bring you on as my guest.

    Constance Langdon: I can't focus on your... career right now. I maybe looking at a rather Earth shattering situation.

    Billie Dean Howard: Could we be talking menopause baby? Why am I seeing baby pictures?

    Constance Langdon: Tell me... What happens when a human... copulates with someone from the spirit world?

    Billie Dean Howard: Spirits aren't known for their potency.

    Constance Langdon: Yes, but... what if there is, in fact, a conception?

    Billie Dean Howard: You do know about the box? The Pope's box?

    Constance Langdon: What the Hell are you talking about?

    Billie Dean Howard: When a new Pope has been chosen and the bells of St. Peter's chime, he is shown into a small chamber next to the Sistine Chapel. They call it the room of tears, named for the sublime mixture of joy and sorrow that he must contemplate at this moment. He is brought a key to this box. It has been said that this box contains the ultimate secret. It holds the secret of the end of the world.

    Constance Langdon: Oh, for Christ's sakes, Billie Dean, the cameras aren't rolling in here. Will you just cut to the chase?

    Billie Dean Howard: This piece of paper reveals the precise nature of the Antichrist. A child born of human and spirit will usher in the end of times. It is the essence of evil... a perversion of the Immaculate Conception.

    Constance Langdon: What are you talking about?

    Billie Dean Howard: Oh, come on, honey. The Holy Ghost merely whispered in the Virgin Mary's ear and she begat the Son of God. If the Devil's going to use a human womb for his spawn, he's gonna want a little more bang for his buck.
