The season ended with Satan inside a painting这一季以撒旦被封进画中收场
The 13th season of American Horror Story finished on Thursday with an episode titled "Devil of a Good Time". The Hollywood Reporter describes the finale as closing the season's battle between the Coven and Satan. TheWrap reports that Satan, played by Paul Anthony Kelly, ends the episode trapped inside Da Vinci's The Last Supper, a painting that had been stolen earlier in the season and brought into his New York City penthouse. All episodes of the FX anthology are streaming on Hulu.《American Horror Story》第13季周四以名为“Devil of a Good Time”的一集收官。The Hollywood Reporter把这一集描述为女巫团与撒旦之战的收束。TheWrap报道,由 Paul Anthony Kelly 饰演的撒旦在结尾被封在达·芬奇《最后的晚餐》画中,这幅画本季早些时候被盗,并被带进他在纽约的顶层公寓。FX 这部选剧集的全季已在 Hulu 上线。
The mechanism was a sacrifice. TheWrap reports that Mallory, played by Billie Lourd and now Supreme, travelled back to Salem looking for a spell that could kill Satan forever and found none. What she found was a spell used by the aristocrat Dorian Gray, which traps a soul inside a painting and needed a tremendous sacrifice to work. The sacrifice was Ben, played by Joey Pollari, the Antichrist, who had just become a father.封印的机制是一场献祭。TheWrap 报道,此时已是大 Supreme 的 Mallory(Billie Lourd 饰)回到塞勒姆,想找一道能永久杀死撒旦的咒语,却找不到;她找到的是贵族 Dorian Gray 用过的一道咒语,能把灵魂封进画中,但需要极重的牺牲才能生效。牺牲者是 Ben(Joey Pollari 饰),也就是“敌基督”,他刚刚成为父亲。
A birth, a death and a baby brought back一场生产、一次死亡与被救活的女婴
Both reports describe a birth in the middle of the finale. The Hollywood Reporter says Ben and Madison, played by Emma Roberts, have sex, that Madison becomes pregnant immediately and gives birth to their daughter, and that the newborn appears to be dead until young Mr. Nas brings her back to life. TheWrap credits the episode to writers Ned Martel, Charlie Carver and series co-creator Brad Falchuk, with Crystle Roberson Dorsey directing.两篇报道都写到结局中途的一次生产。The Hollywood Reporter 说,Ben 与 Madison(Emma Roberts 饰)发生关系后,Madison 立刻怀孕并生下女儿;女婴出生时看似已死,是年轻的 Mr. Nas 把她救活。TheWrap 记载这一集由 Ned Martel、Charlie Carver 与联合主创 Brad Falchuk 编剧,Crystle Roberson Dorsey 执导。
Kelly reads that rescue as one of several mercies in the episode. His character also spares one of the men in the opening scene and later a dog. He told The Hollywood Reporter that the devil "decides to call it all off to end the great game" and saves a few people along the way, and that the baby mattered because Sarah Paulson's Cordelia is his character's grandchild. Later in the episode Ben stabs himself in the heart with a sword and turns to ashes, which The Hollywood Reporter describes as defeating Satan.Kelly 把这次救活看作本集里几处“仁慈”之一。他的角色还在开场放过其中一名男子,后来又放过一条狗。他对 The Hollywood Reporter 说,这个魔鬼“决定把一切都叫停,结束这场大游戏”,一路上也救了几个人;他还说救这个孩子带有家族意味,因为 Sarah Paulson 饰演的 Cordelia 是他角色的孙女。此后 Ben 用剑刺穿自己的心脏、化为灰烬,The Hollywood Reporter 把这一幕描述为击败了撒旦。
TheWrap says Satan chose to keep the fight goingTheWrap 说撒旦选择让争斗继续
TheWrap gives the reversal more room than The Hollywood Reporter does. It reports that the season followed characters from earlier instalments as they fought or conspired with the devil, who was trying to win a bet with God for control of Earth and the human race. In the finale, Satan changes course. He frees Cordelia from hell, tells her that ruling humanity and handling billions of lives did not sound fun, and chooses to keep ruling the underworld so he can go on tempting people into damnation for a few more generations.TheWrap 给这次反转的篇幅比 The Hollywood Reporter 更多。该报道称,本季讲的是往季角色聚在一起,或对抗、或勾结魔鬼,而魔鬼正试图赢下与上帝的一场赌局,以夺取对地球与人类的控制权。到了结局,撒旦改变方向:他把 Cordelia 从地狱放出来,告诉她统治人类、处理数十亿条生命听起来并不有趣,于是选择继续独占地狱的统治权,好在往后几代人里继续引诱人堕落。
The same report says Satan offered Cordelia his penthouse as a satellite office for her coven, and that she accepted reluctantly. The Hollywood Reporter's summary emphasises the witches instead: Fiona, one of Jessica Lange's characters, introduces Constance to the basics of witchcraft, and Mallory and Cordelia work out that Ben has to sacrifice himself. Kelly told The Hollywood Reporter that the last scene with John Waters as Mr. Phibes condemns him to hell while giving him exactly what he wanted, which is to keep making his biker movie for eternity. TheWrap notes that this crossover season was first teased last Halloween with the announcement of Lange's return, and that it used four of her earlier characters, for which she had four Emmy nominations and two wins.同一篇报道说,撒旦把他在纽约的顶层公寓送给 Cordelia,作为女巫团的“卫星办公室”,她勉强接受了。The Hollywood Reporter 的复述则把重点放在女巫一方:Jessica Lange 饰演的 Fiona 向 Constance 传授巫术基础,Mallory 与 Cordelia 则想明白必须让 Ben 自我牺牲。Kelly 对 The Hollywood Reporter 说,John Waters 饰演的 Mr. Phibes 在最后一场戏里被判入地狱,却得到了他想要的一切:永远拍他那部飞车电影。TheWrap 提到,这一季的“跨界”设定早在去年万圣节就随 Lange 回归的消息放出,剧中用到了她此前的四个角色,这四个角色曾为她带来四次艾美奖提名、两次获奖。
The actor did not know the ending when he signed on演员签约时并不知道结局
Kelly told The Hollywood Reporter that the writers were working as they went. There were maybe five episodes when he started and 13 in the season, he said, so "things change, things go and just play along". His reaction to Ben's sacrifice was immediate. "Well, I was flabbergasted," he said, then added: "I'm very unimpressed. Very disappointed in his choices."Kelly 对 The Hollywood Reporter 说,编剧是一边写一边拍的。他进组时大约只有五集剧本,而这一季有13集,所以“事情会变,会走样,你就跟着演”。他对 Ben 自我牺牲的反应很直接:“我目瞪口呆。”随后又说:“我很不以为然。非常不认同他的选择。”
He has not been watching the season as it airs. He is filming The Housemaid's Secret and looking after a baby at home, and told the paper that his television time "doesn't really exist anymore". TheWrap reports that he agreed immediately when Ryan Murphy called about the part, because it meant acting alongside Lange, Paulson and Waters, and that he calls the show "cuckoo bananas".他没有追看正在播出的这一季。他目前在拍《The Housemaid's Secret》,家里还有婴儿要照顾,他对该报说自己的电视时间“基本已经不存在了”。TheWrap 报道,Ryan Murphy 打电话问他是否愿意演这个角色时,他立刻答应了,因为这意味着能与 Lange、Paulson 和 Waters 同台;他还说这剧“简直是疯得可爱”(cuckoo bananas)。
A suave devil rather than a snarling one一个斯文而非咆哮的魔鬼
Kelly's devil does not shout. TheWrap describes him playing a "suave" and "a little debonair" Old Hollywood devil, and quotes his reasoning: "The devil's an individual who already knows everything and knows how to get what he wants, so he doesn't really have to push too hard." He added that it is "almost a little scarier if [he's] not scary".Kelly 演的魔鬼不靠吼。TheWrap 形容他演的是“斯文”“带点翩翩风度”的老好莱坞式魔鬼,并引述他的解释:“魔鬼是那种已经什么都知道、也知道怎么得到想要之物的人,所以他其实不必太用力。”他还说,“如果他不吓人,反而更吓人一点”。
His favourite scene was a dance. He told both outlets that tangoing with Jessica Lange as Constance was a high point, and told TheWrap the pair learned the routine about an hour before shooting and kept missing steps, with plenty of laughing between takes. He also described the prosthetic work behind the kills, including the black goo that sprayed him during the scene where his character kills the older version of himself. He told TheWrap he would still like to play "a really disgusting human" as a villain one day.他最喜欢的一场戏是跳舞。他向两家媒体都提到,与 Jessica Lange 饰演的 Constance 跳探戈是拍摄期的高光;他对 TheWrap 说,两人在开拍前大约一小时才学会舞步,拍摄时不断踩错,笑个不停。他还谈到杀戮戏的特效化妆,包括他的角色杀死“年长版自己”那场戏里喷了他一身的黑色黏液。他对 TheWrap 说,自己将来还想演一个“真正令人作呕的人”式的反派。
A painting is not a permanent prison一幅画并不等于永久监牢
Mr. Nas is not dead in any ordinary sense. He is inside the painting, watched over by the Coven, and Kelly described the arrangement to TheWrap as being guarded by his kin, "essentially his granddaughter and daughter". "He's just stuck in a painting. You can always break out of that at some point," he said, and offered a purgatory reading along with a joke about the show reaching season 18.Mr. Nas 并没有通常意义上的死亡。他在画里,由女巫团看守。Kelly 对 TheWrap 形容,看管他的是他的血亲,“算是他的孙女和女儿”。“他就是被困在一幅画里。那种东西你总有机会打破的,”他说,并给出一个“炼狱”式的解读,还开玩笑说也许要等到第18季。
Asked whether he knows the character's real fate, he said: "Nope. I don't think anybody knows a true answer on that. It needs to be written." Season 14 has already been renewed, and Kelly said he would seriously consider returning "if I get the call". Neither interview gives ratings, a production start for the new season or confirmation that the character comes back. Related coverage on this site includes The Diplomat's fifth-season renewal, the second and third seasons of Trauma Code and the Netflix date for Ethos season 2.被问到是否知道角色的真正结局时,他说:“不知道。我不认为任何人知道真正的答案。那得写出来才知道。”第14季已经续订,Kelly 说“如果接到电话”,他会认真考虑回归。两篇访谈都没有提供收视数据、新一季的开拍时间,也没有确认这个角色会回来。本站相关阅读包括《The Diplomat》续订第五季、《Trauma Code》第二与第三季以及《Ethos》第二季的 Netflix 上线日期。
