The horror movie "Carrie the Witch" is mainly set in the American state of Maine in the 1960s and 1970s. It tells the story of a high school girl Carrie being tortured by her mother, a Christian fanatic, and her classmates who tease and mock her. The oppression, and finally the use of telekinesis in a situation of hatred and despair caused a series of fire explosions that destroyed the school and the town of Chamberlain, killing many students and innocent people in the disaster. In the end, she kills her own mother and goes to the end of her life in a desperate situation.
In the film, Margaret, a fanatical religious believer, uses the Bible to madly restrain her own humanity, and at the same time imposes this on her daughter Carrie, who is seeking freedom. In addition, she even goes to Sue's home to try to guide her. Sue also believed in Jesus, but it can be seen from the film that Su's mother did not welcome her arrival and was even full of boredom and impatience, and finally sent Margaret with ten dollars. In the contrast of these two families, there is a huge difference in religious beliefs. One is to exaggerately impose religious beliefs on his daughter, and the other hopes that his daughter will grow up with a relaxed and liberal mentality. And the White family is constraining the satisfaction of normal human nature with an extremely exaggerated and perverted belief, so that Carrie has never received the education of the menstrual period, never got the correct female values, and never got how to integrate into the social group. educate. As a descendant of the family, Carrie has been constrained by this extremely perverted and exaggerated religious view since she was a child, but in reality, as she grows, she craves more and more complete humanity.
There is a great contradiction and conflict between the shackles of religion and the pursuit of human nature. On the one hand, Carrie wants to pursue human nature, but she encounters setbacks and tricks in the pursuit of human nature, which leads to her telekinesis. On the other hand, after her outbreak, everything about human nature has been desperate, she still chooses to go home and find her mother, but her mother tries to kill her with a knife, and the mother on the religious side is unwilling to accept her . In the end, she killed her mother in desperation, and went to death with her while rescuing her from her collapsed house.

In the narrow and dark closet, Jesus was nailed to the cross with his limbs, his body was pierced with arrows, his eyes glowed with white light, and his face was very frightening.
Scene 2 : After the dance, Carrie comes home. Driven by sin, her mother intended to kill Carrie with a knife. After Carrie was stabbed, she began to activate the telekinesis function to mobilize all kinds of sharp weapons at home to stab her mother to death and nail it to the door frame, like Jesus. generally.
