Talking about Carrie the Witch, the 1976 version, I am not familiar with the director Palma, so I won't comment, but the director's skills in lens arrangement, editing, and light and shadow relationship are amazing, and you can see it as a leopard. He is also not a die-hard Stephen King fan. Another film with a deep impression is "The Mist". There are many similarities in the content of the two films: for example, good people are not rewarded, and both have a nasty goddess. The characters and their gibberish turned into accurate predictions.
Going back to the movie and skipping directly to the end, on the ruins of the Carrie House, there is a cross that reads: CARRIE WHITE BURN IN HELL. I think every family member who has lost a loved one to Karrie has the right to curse her, but we moviegoers don't. Because we entered Carrie's life for one hour and thirty-eight minutes, we know her pure kindness, and we also know the bitterness and pain of her outburst. We do our best to find the people responsible for this tragedy - the malicious Chris and her boyfriend and their gang of foxes, the stubborn fundamentalist Christian mother, plus Carrie's glass heart and her Superfluous superpowers, and finally, the teacher's paranoid sense of justice, and Sue and Ross' childish and aggressive help.
Chris can be seen as the culprit. She's vicious and disgusting, but she's not responsible for the massacre. If it wasn't for being banned from the prom for bullying Carrie, she'd probably be the queen of the prom, the star of the prom, and everyone's applause. praised idol. She's just taking revenge on the culprit who made her lose everything. Teacher, she can only focus on Carrie. An ignorant Blondy like Chris has their own unique values, because they are loved and loved by everyone just because of their beauty, so they bring them the value of "this is a face-to-face world", so in the universal value like Carrie The opposite of "beauty" must be condemned and cast aside. How inexplicably they were loved by the world, how inexplicably they hated Carrie, there was no reason for pampering the beautiful—and there was no reason for hating the ugly.
The mother is the root cause of Carrie's cowardice and negativity. She did not want to have Carrie at all. Instead of aborting or killing the baby, she chose to raise her daughter, just because the Bible requires it, so when Carrie violates the teachings, corporal punishment will be taken lightly. , and the weight is removed. Family education is very important to the growth of teenagers. When you grow up in such a family that has no love at all and is always abusive and restrained, it is also a miracle to successfully live to graduate from high school. The grace of my mother not to kill.
Then talk about the positive image in the film, one is the teacher. The teacher has a sense of responsibility and justice, and takes care of Carrie enthusiastically. But such a saint can also be counterproductive at times, and her rudeness and punishment to Chris is the trigger for Chris's vengeance. In the end, her misunderstanding of Sue also made them miss the opportunity to avoid the tragedy. I have to say that the teacher's jealousy and hatred contributed to this tragedy.
Then Sue and Ross. Unlike the evil Chris and Billy, Sue and Ross really want to help Carrie, but with good intentions and disdainful motives and means. Let’s talk about the means first. If a mature person wants to solve a problem, he first finds the cause of the problem, then analyzes the solution, and then implements it in a planned way. But our gods and goddesses Sue and Ross believe that with their natural powers, through the grand graduation party, Ross and Carrie appeared like that, and the whole scene was HOLD, as if the newly debuted actor was next to the big director. In the same way, we can solve problems such as unpopularity, withdrawn personality, family conflicts, etc. at one time, and give Carrie a better tomorrow. It's no wonder that Carrie and the teacher are suspicious of such a wild and childish move. In the final analysis, Sue and Ross have the same underlying motivation as Chris and Billy, which is arrogance and arrogance. Chris and Billy believe that the world revolves around them, so once there is something they dislike or hinder them, they must be ruthlessly eradicated. As long as they feel right, they are right. And Sue and Ross also believe that the world revolves around them, and they are like gods, "through which unimaginable paths guide the chosen ones". As long as the means are what they feel is right, then of course they are right. Of course we can't deny the kindness and enthusiasm of Sue and Ross, but it is this naivety and aggressiveness that pushes Carrie to the point of no return.
Finally, let's talk about Carrie, our poor and lovely heroine, who came from a rough background but still maintains a healthy three-dimensional view, and is deeply bullied but not psychologically dark (although she finally took revenge on the society). If you have to find the reason from her, then she is glass-hearted. Yeah, what's the big deal, how about splashing pig blood? How about looking down on jokes? What about bullying, abuse, brainwashing and imprisonment? The old lady is a person with superpowers. If she knows how to be ruthless, her power and power will be limitless in the future. Today, you are ignoring the old lady, and tomorrow the old lady will make them unstoppable. Therefore, most of the pain in youth is not knowing how to forbear, and the loneliness after adulthood is mostly the scab of childhood. Breaking your heart early and recasting it can only be calm on the road of writing and reading the world. walk.
After reading this article, there are two things that make people think about it. One is Chris and Billy. If they didn't kill Carrie in the end, wouldn't they be able to dance and talk and laugh at the ruins of Carrie's house? (This is to teach us that after the conspiracy succeeds, just watch the dark and cool.) Second point, imagine that even if Carrie had no pig blood on her head, she had the most memorable and most beautiful night of her life, and when she returned What is waiting for her at home?
Carrie can be seen as a symbol, a microcosm of people who were unhappy in childhood and who took revenge on society in adulthood. Ordinary people do not have superpowers, but the crimes they have committed and the pain they cause are beyond the reach of those with superpowers. Look at those "demons": Sarin gas, Miyazaki-Kin, Ma-Gajue, Manson -Family, the Colorado shootings, etc., this group of people is devastated and angry, but if they open their cobweb-covered wardrobe, is it possible to find a carefully kept fake flower? It is impossible to sympathize with these murderers, because this is real life, not a movie fiction, they have broken through the bottom line of morality and law, and must be punished with the most serious punishment within the legal constraints. But in the future thinking, can we add some "Carrie thinking", not to examine those cases in isolation, but to realize that all sin is the sin of the whole society, and all suffering is caused by our indifference As a result of improper measures, as a member of human society, no matter how clean the hands are, they are not clean.
