Instead of writing a coy sendup of a theatrical thriller, she's written a genuinely disturbing suspense tale that explores the theater of cruelty life can sometimes be.

她没有部故作神秘戏剧惊悚作品，而是创作了部真正令人不安悬疑故事，探索了生活有时会变成场残酷戏剧。

It was just sort of like a joke, you know, like, a takeoff sendup of America, very lighthearted.

这有点像话，你知道，就像是对美国起飞讽刺，非常轻松。
