"Carrie" (Chinese translation of "Witch Carrie"), Stephen King's famous work, moved to the screen twice, divided into 1976 version and 2013 version.
1976 version: The story begins with a group of female middle school students taking a bath in the school locker room. The heroine Carrie has her first menstrual period. She is shocked, thinking it is an internal injury, and calls out to her classmates for help. Not knowing, he made fun of her, regarded her as a monster, and kept teasing her in the future. Jimmy said: The fault of the child is the fault of the adults! Indeed, Carrie's ignorance of sexual knowledge is all because her mother is a mentally ill Christian maniac who sees sex as evil. Being a daughter is a kind of sin.” In other words, she takes her perverted emotions caused by her sexual repression as an object of venting. But on the day of her menstrual period, Carrie also developed a supernatural ability - the story uses the metaphor that the development of a child to an adult means that a new force emerges in the body. But Carrie's growth is suppressed and blocked, so her supernatural powers are twisted into a force of destruction. At a school dance, but when everyone teased her again, she became fierce and used magic power to mess up the objects in the venue, the whole building caught fire, the gate was blocked, and people in the venue were killed or injured. . Carrie, who was hit hard, returned home, hoping to be comforted by her mother. Her mother took her in her arms, pretended to comfort her, and stabbed her in the back, intending to get rid of this evil obstacle. Out of self-defense instinct, Carrie used her magic again, and all the knives in the kitchen flew to her mother's hands, crucifixing her to the door frame. When her mother died, Carrie grieved so much that she burned the house down with force and died with her mother.
The above story implies that if parents mess up their children's growth with their own values, it is the source of evil, and the world will be in chaos, leading to tragedy. In the United States, there have indeed been cases in which children sued their parents on growth issues, and the judge sentenced the parents to lose money. This strong awareness of treating children as individuals equal to their parents, and thus maintaining personal growth, is not among Chinese people. To this day, there are still many Chinese people who believe in "parents who are perfect in the world".

    Every time Carrie uses super powers, he uses "Psycho" bathroom murder music and its variations, and the quick editing happens to match the rhythm of the music. Except for the murder scene, the most impressive part is the corporal punishment. The scene is pinched to the middle scene, and the camera moves horizontally, but the figure always keeps stretching vertically. The face is repeatedly drawn into the painting, and the contrast is very prominent. After being covered with pig blood, he looked so much like Neon Demon that he always thought that he would eat people at the end.

    Oh my God! The superstition of God is terrible, single mothers are terrible, the hatred of female classmates is terrible, and the girls cursed by Satan are terrible. Don't laugh at your classmates, kindness sometimes brings you a lifelong nightmare. Everything is forced! Poor baby! John Travota was destined to be a villain since he was a child.

Carrie quotes

  • Miss Collins: [to the girls] Now, my idea for this little trick you pulled was three days' suspension and refusal of your prom tickets.

    [the girls gasp]

    Norma: [in disbelief] What? God!

    Miss Collins: That'd get you where you live, wouldn't it? And you deserve it. I don't think any of you have any idea of just how nasty what you did really was. But the office has decided you're to have one week's detention.

    [the girls sigh with relief]

    Miss Collins: Still, there's one little catch. It's to be my detention.

    [the girls are once again perturbed]

    Miss Collins: That's fifty minutes every day starting today in the athletic field. Get the picture?

    Chris Hargenson: I'm not coming.

    Miss Collins: That's up to you, Chris. That's up to all of you. Punishment for skipping detention is three days' suspension and refusal of your prom tickets. Any other thoughts? Good. Now change up.

    [the girls proceed begrudgingly]

    Chris Hargenson: Where are you going?

    Norma: Come on.

    Chris Hargenson: I'm not coming.

    Norma: You're really not gonna come? You're gonna miss out on the prom?

    Chris Hargenson: I'm not coming.

    Norma: Well, I'm not gonna miss the prom.

    Chris Hargenson: Fuck.

  • Margaret White: I'm here on the Lord's work, Mrs. Snell; spreadin' the gospel of God's salvation through Christ's blood!

    Mrs. Snell: Yes, of course...

    Margaret White: These are godless times, Mrs. Snell.

    Mrs. Snell: I'll drink to that. Mrs. White, I'd like to contribute five... ten dollars.

    Margaret White: [offended] I see. I pray you find, Jesus.
