Only a happy ending can reflect the hardships of the process

After watching the first season of "American Horror Story", I think this is a blood-themed family film, because although the process is extremely hard, in the end, the family finally lives happily in the castle together...

The background chosen for the first season is rather ordinary. There are usually some so-called weird stories in ancient houses, let alone such a quaint little villa that is more than 100 years old. Every group of people who lived in it and turned into ghosts had their own stories, so in the end, this seemingly empty house was actually quite crowded, but there were people (ghosts) of all occupations, so functionally it was quite Complete, at least there are doctors, servants, actors...

The souls of those who died in this ancient house will stay here. This setting is not new. In fact, The Grudge is a similar setting. But like this drama, it's the first time I've seen so many people who died in the old house. The first thing I felt was a little speechless. It was almost a hotel, and when I saw some ghosts behind me, I couldn't remember. So it's actually not that scary.

Speaking of horror, I remembered that the Chinese name of the show is "American Horror Story", which is actually inappropriate. The American word shock is a bit more shocking or surprising, focusing on the viewer's feeling rather than the object being described. The word story itself has a bit of a fictional feel to it. So the title is equivalent to telling you that this is not true, it is just a story. Generally speaking, ghost stories mostly emphasize their authenticity.

The ending of the story is good. The family of three finally died in the ancient house. Then, as ghosts, they lived happily together and solved all the knots in their hearts. At the same time, they also started doing good deeds to scare away all those who would buy the old house in the future. From this point of view, this ending is a good ending. But the final ending left a little suspense, that is, about the child born by the man and the ghost, which is a bit weird, but he didn't seem to be mentioned in the second season.

Although this show is a little bit nonsense, it still has a bit of connotation. Don't be so stubborn when you are alive, you must learn to be flexible. Nothing is flawless, you just don't see it. So, turn a blind eye to some things, the so-called life, it is rare to be confused, and some things are digested in your heart, don't take it seriously.

    To paraphrase ''American Beauty'', ''Look at him. Jerking off in the Episode One. This will be the high point of the season. It's all downhill from here.''

    The first episode seems to be bland, but the second episode has the meaning of starting to look good. Will continue to follow!

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.
