Most people pay attention to the show because of Ryan Murphy and his team, including Banana Sister #SarahPaulson# , and the posters and trailers that seem to have a terrifying and suspenseful atmosphere. But in fact, this show is not a bloody horror-based drama like "American Horror Story". It is more like a study of female characters like "Feud: Bette and Joan", exploring the classic movie "One Flew". How Mildred Ratchett, the ruthless, powerful asylum nurse in Over the Cuckoo's Nest, came to be.
It can be said that this is similar to the meaning of "Bates Motel" (Bates Motel). Because a movie leaves a deep and captivating villain and people want to know more about him or her, so many seasons are written at once. "Bates Hotel" has been filmed for five seasons at once, and the show has also announced that it has a second season. It is conceivable that there will be no connection with "Flying Over the Mental Hospital" in a short time, but at least for now Find out why Ratchett came to this asylum, and how, step by step, she accomplishes her goal: to take control.
Clearly she is someone who knows how to control others and will do anything to achieve her goals. Since the first episode, she has laid out step by step, and it can almost be said that she has carried the confidence and determination to "win" since she appeared on the stage. Although many of the methods she takes seem to be risky, they are carefully planned, and occasionally take advantage of the people around her, and are good at adapting to changes. Sister Banana's interpretation is also skillful and full of confusion.
This drama actually has the main features of the TV series produced by Ryan Murphy. The pictures are brightly colored, the costumes are fashionable and exquisite, the characters are strange, and occasionally there are surprising horror, sex-love, homo-sex-love content to attract attention. What attracts me mainly is the clothes of the people in the film, especially Sarah Paulson's several sets of clothes are really eye-catching, not only in line with the characteristics of the times, but also in terms of color and tailoring. power. The lesbian content between her and Cynthia Nixon characters is also interesting. Even if there is not too much explicit content, watching them eat raw oysters is still very tempting.
Since it is a mental hospital, of course, all kinds of weird characters are indispensable, and it is easy to arrange some horror elements. In addition to the bloody killing at the beginning, there are often some intuitive bloody scenes that seem unnecessary, such as autopsy of corpses, in order to stimulate the nerves of the audience, especially male audiences. After all, it's actually a movie about women, featuring Sarah Paulson, Judy Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Sharon Stone, if not the occasional horror or sex- Related elements, many male viewers may quit halfway.
Ultimately, it will likely take a lot of time and patience to fully understand Nurse Ratchett's origins and how she gradually became more demented and morbid.
If you think back, did watching five seasons of "Bates Hotel" really satisfy your curiosity about the psychotic male protagonist in "Psycho"? Do you feel it is necessary? Or is it actually better to leave questions like the movie itself, ending in a shock? If you feel compelled to learn the stories behind some of the sick characters, Ratchett might be worth a look.
But I think the reason why some good characters are classic is precisely because of the mystery, giving the audience more space to imagine, maybe the less they know, the better. However, this play can be regarded as an observation and analysis of human nature on the situation of American women and mental patients in the 1940s. But just as far as female characters are concerned, it's still quite interesting to create, each character has a creepy place, and unconsciously wants to know their fate.
