The witch and the superhero are only one mother

According to Stephen King’s writing logic, evil is evil because he is evil. Room 1408, trucks occupying the streets, clowns, stoves, etc. are all like this. They are all born as demons.

But Carrie is the only one with a kind heart in Stephen King's works or adaptations of film and television works I have seen, even though she has the power of demons.

The whole film does not explain why Carrie possesses the power of a demon, or Carrie is a demon. The devil is this power and can always be resurrected. Just like the old lady Carrie said, we need to kill him over and over again. After Carrie's death, this power was transferred to Sue's child. So having power is the source of evil, not the person who uses power. This is actually in line with Stephen King's writing logic.

If the education Carrie received since childhood was not heard every day, you are a sin and need to pray for salvation. It is not the old lady who said that she is different from them because God is watching her. It's unclear if Carrie became Scarlet Witch or Professor X, isn't it?

Although Carrie suffered school violence that triggered her loss of control, her failed family education was the root cause.

The family environment made Carrie feel inferior, weak, and outlier, and such a cowardly character made her a lamb suffering from school violence.

But Carrie wanted to integrate into the life of a normal person, only one step short of success.

As a film and television work that reflects campus bullying, "Witch Carrie" is a success. She did not label the bullies in the same way. On the contrary, the bullies would be afraid, and the bullies would also have conscience to discover.

But as a horror film and a cool film with blood revenge, it is really unqualified! The first half is too slow, I haven't gritted my teeth with hate, you have already killed! Check out "I Spit Your Grave" or "Earthworm" next door, this tm is a horror movie and a revenge movie, alright!

Finally, I was wondering if Carrie killed a lot of innocent people. In fact, it is not. Those cold-eyed bystanders do not overwhelm the bullies for campus bullying victims! The bully will be open to other passers-by at the party, because you, me and he are all the same!

Lying and silence can be said to be the two major evils that have spread in human society. In fact, we often lie and remain silent at every turn. ——Haruki Murakami, "Listen to the Wind"
