"Witch Carrie"-no one has the right to discriminate against anyone

Eryn 2021-10-22 14:35:37

Watching this film is completely aimed at Brian De Palma's name. Before I thought it was a thrilling horror film. Although there are many horror and violent scenes at the end of the film, it is actually a movie about human nature.

The opening of the film is unforgettable. In a volleyball game, because of a mistake in catching the ball, a fair-looking girl was cast aside by everyone after the game. Then the screen was switched to the bathroom. These girls who had just finished exercising were in the director’s The moving slow motion shows their youth, vitality and beautiful figure. At this time, the camera pans to the girl who was scolded before. She is rubbing her body with soap. Everything is so beautiful, just when I am intoxicated. During this slow motion, blood began to ooze from the girl's hands. As the blood on her body oozes more and more, she began to scream and began to ask her teammates for help, but in exchange for ridicule and insults, it turned out that she had menstruation. But her mother didn’t tell her how to face this symbolizing the first time she turned from a girl to a woman, so she panicked, frightened, and screamed throughout the bathroom until her physical education teacher came in and stopped All this.

This girl is Carrie. From the close-up shots, you will find that she is ugly and even a bit annoying. Maybe in your school days, there were such classmates around, maybe you or other classmates like to laugh at this kind of people. Carrie is not only ugly, but also the family environment is different from others. Her mother began to believe in God nervously since she was abandoned by her husband. When she knew that her daughter had menarche, instead of caring for her daughter, she cursed that it was God. Regarding her curse, the daughter asked why she didn't tell her about menstruation, and she slapped it over.

Carrie knew that she had superpowers that were different from ordinary people. It was in the principal's office. The ashtray that slammed on the ground expressed her anger. Later, her mother shut her in a small dark room. She was further sure that she could go there by her own mind. Control certain things. This is very scary. Just imagine, if you look at someone unpleasant, you can let the fan on that person's head fall and smash him to death!

Carrie is actually a very ordinary girl. She just doesn’t have a beautiful appearance and has no normal education of her parents. Therefore, she has low self-esteem and extremely low self-confidence. There are many such people in life. Sadly, we often like to rely on one. People’s appearance turns to express their feelings about this person. In fact, whoever is qualified to discriminate against others, who is also qualified to laugh at others, not everyone is naturally beautiful, not everyone has different boys dating every day, just like The physical education teacher said that we shouldn't hurt others like this. She was the only person in this movie who understood and loved Carrie, but in the end she died at Carrie's hands.

A girl who hated Carrie began to figure out a way to frame Carrie at the prom, while another girl wanted her boyfriend to invite Carrie to the prom. Just like the physical education teacher’s intuition, we thought the boy about Carrie was deliberate. The design framed and humiliated her, including Carrie herself, who thought they wanted to deliberately punish her, but after all, she was just a girl who had never been asked by a boy. She also wanted to be invited like ordinary people, and then dressed up with lipstick and new clothes. I was so good to go to the dance party, so with this little hope of human nature, she accepted the invitation. We started to sweat for Carrie, because another girl was preparing to use pig blood on the dance party with her boyfriend. Carrie... .... The

film then proceeded with two clues. On the one hand, Carrie was persuading her mother to prepare for the prom, and on the other hand was a carefully prepared conspiracy. Praise, when he kissed her, when she became the best dance partner of the night, when the star-like halo shines on her face, her face is filled with happiness, she is grateful to these people who gave her happiness and joy, that moment Everyone would think she was the happiest woman in the world, so when the pig blood falling from her head covered her, she began to explode, all beliefs were gone, and all trust collapsed in this humiliating moment. Believing no one, she killed her physical education teacher with her mind, asked her boy (only later found out that this boy is not bad), laughed at her classmates, and only the girl who arranged her boyfriend to ask her survived the whole party accidentally. ......

Carrie, who was covered with chilled pig blood, returned home. After washing away the blood, she became fragile. She longed for her mother's comfort, but while her mother was comforting her, she took the knife. Stabbed at her, in the end Carrie had to kill her mother with her mind, and then died together...

Throughout the film, I believe that many people will fall into contemplation and will try to find the root of evil. It turns out that a woman who regained confidence in life was completely disappointed after a joke and strangled everyone with evil will. Stephen King’s I haven’t read the novel. Although this movie is also a type of qualitative horror and is known as one of the most famous horror films in the 1970s, it is obvious that Brian De Palma has no intention of making a pure horror. The director’s superb film techniques brought the anger of an inferiority woman towards this evil society to the extreme.

    Our youth is a bloody, hypocritical sadness. The youth of others is a river of blood bursting under the pressure of asceticism and indulgence. Zander Palma's photography and Sissy Spacek's crazy acting skills!

    As the final climax of a horror film, each segment is too fast, and many of them pass by in a hurry, which greatly reduces the degree of shock, and the previous foreshadowing is so unfavorable that I once thought it was a youth school film, but at the end, although I watched a magazine drama It's clear, but I'm still frightened that I envy America's high school prom a few times in my life, a beautiful and evil emperor!

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: 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.
