I don't think AHS lacks symbolism in its entirety; I think it's had plenty, and themes have been far more clear in the first three seasons than any of the last 3. I just don't think the way it's executed, especially in the finales, is the best way to make that point if it's what he's really going for, because it doesn't come off that way. Him having 4-5 different TV segments in one episode doesn't mean "OMG he's so clever he's showing us the THEME of overexposure and the media's obsession!"; it's OTT and extra, because if that was his point, he didn't need to make it so messy. Thinking all that doesn't make someone closed-minded; it just means Ryan Murphy sucks at his job sometimes.  |
Let's agree to disagree
Also (I'm not saying this was intended or on purpose, but), I was fine with the lack of characterization the season, because I thought it was representative of the fact that we watch people on our favorite reality TV shows without really knowing who they are; everything they appear to be is really just a façade or character made to entertain on television. So in that sense, I thought it made a lot of sense that there wasn't much characterization and we didn't get to know the characters very much. My opinion anyway
y'all are crazy
