Despair After Hope (1976 Carrie the Witch)

Let’s put on the actors first (the Oscar heroine nomination in 1977, it’s not a loss to lose to Fei Dunaway TV… Grandma Qian Qian was 26 and 17 years old, really no pressure, 666)

After watching the film, my first feeling was despair.

We live in an age of contempt chains. When a person has been at the bottom of the chain of contempt, another person suddenly appears, either a goddess or a good elder, who is about to pull you to a higher level of the chain of contempt, but due to some external forces, You fail and you are back to square one. How does this feel? I think it's well explained in the movie, that's the feeling: at the annual dance, I finally got the crown, only to be sprinkled with pig blood on the beam overhead.

Are you asking me about the horror of the next theater murder? No, I just feel bad. Because I know that the consequence of venting all my inner roar is to destroy myself. I suddenly remembered Mr. Lu Xun's words, either burst out in silence, or perish in silence. Carrie was treated by so many strange eyes, whoever changed, everyone would explode. Maybe this would be the best and most satisfying ending in the movie, but in reality, 80% of them became crazy or committed suicide. Is it just the fault of the classmates and teachers around? Not really. Her mother should also bear a great responsibility. The father was not around since he was a child, and the mother did not care about the inner life of her daughter. Such children are prone to extremes. So this also reminds us that once you decide to have your own child, you must be responsible to him (her) to the end. If you do not have this determination, please wait until you grow from a child to a mature one. men and women, and then give their children a complete family.

Having said that, it is easier said than done to do what I said before? I can only wish that we can all adjust the balance of our lives to be more balanced.

But some things can indeed be done from now on. such as the opinion of others. The reason why Carrie broke out in the end, the pig's blood was just a fuse, a last straw that pressed on her heart full of loads. After countless people's heretical views on her before, she finally couldn't stand it and broke out. At this time, I thought of Wei Wei's lyrics: As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world. Although the lyrics of the 90s are a bit funny and joyful now, they just wake us up. If Carrie had her period in the bathroom at first, the girls around would care about it instead of laughing; if the mother adjusted her state in time , raise Carrie with an open attitude; if they sincerely invite Carrie to a dance...then maybe Carrie will turn out to be a good girl. Unfortunately, reality always wakes us up, this is life, you can't escape. In this era, no one has the right to look down on anyone, you are better than him in this respect, can you guarantee that you are better than him in all aspects?

Unfortunately, the world seems to be heading in this direction, whether we have the ability to bring it back to the right path, I do not have an answer. All I can say is, do your best and know the destiny.

    We don’t have revenge because we don’t have superpowers

    7/10. Religion, school violence. I watched the 13th version first. The original version lacked the big scene of revenge and had more classical beauty. The heroine was well chosen. The three climaxes are all related to blood, and the last bloody hand scared me (I found that many movies and TV have copied this later).
