The trailer for the 13th version of Carrie was very exciting. At that time, I couldn't help but watch the 1973 version of Carrie. Although there were no special effects, it left a very deep impression. Today, I glanced at the Carrie version of Corot and discovered that the remake of this version is not for surpassing, but just to bring out how good the original is.
The first is the choice of the heroine. Kolo has been stunned by a look in the original version. In the 73rd version, the heroine exudes an introverted, withdrawn and weird temperament as soon as she appears, not to mention the sharp chilling eyes, which has completely merged with Carrie. In the new version, Korona's sweet face and plump body really can't make people think that she will be an isolated and bullied girl. Maybe it's because Ke Luo's own temperament is not suitable for such a role. Although she can see her acting very hard, her own aura really overshadows Carrie's role.
Then there is the choice of age. The remake does not have to be arranged in the modern era, the whole story is more suitable for the United States in the 60s or 70s. After setting the background in modern times, the screenwriters and directors obviously did not do it very seriously. In the 1970s, it was strange that menstruation was not known in high school. However, in today's highly informatized world, there are still people who do not know menarche in high school and cannot justify it.
The new version of the plot is fairly passable. But in the context of this era, the original contradiction of the story has been weakened. In the original version, the performance of the mother was relatively successful. Although the role of the mother was added in the new version, it did not create an image of a strange mother who is completely obsessed with religion and is almost isolated from the outside world. It is more like a religious masochist. In the original version, the mother’s obsession and love for religion is the first, and the daughter is the second. The daughter’s dependence on the mother is very high. In the new version, the mother’s love for the daughter is more obvious, and the daughter appears more independent. It made Carrie look rebellious, rather than a sudden eruption under the pressure of her long-term mother blame. For the performance of other girls, it seems to have passed, far from being true or full. In the original version, Chrissy Hutchinson is a very beautiful and vain girl. She is very popular among girls but not too likable. She is flamboyant and coquettish, but she is not completely malicious towards Carrie. Chrissy in the new version appears naive and brainless, and also appears passive in her pranks on Carrie. The female physical education teacher is also impressive in the original version. For Carrie, she is more like a mother, full of feminine gentleness and kindness, and full of maternal love. Carrie also trusts her very much. Whenever I see a physical education teacher, Carrie seems to see another support, and in the new version, the physical education teacher has become soy sauce. The part of the prom dialogue has also been deleted, but why not delete it more cleanly?
On the camera, the slow motion in the original works well. The bathroom scene at the beginning is elegant and glamorous in slow motion. At the end, when Kris pulls the rope, the silent slow motion and the cross-editing of Su are full of tension and leave room for imagination for the audience. The only slow motions in the new version are slightly weak. The dance with Tommy in the original version is like a dream for Carrie, who has never been in contact with boys. The lack of dialogue and the warm lighting make time seem to stop in the dance steps of the two of them. That is Jia Li's happiest, most beautiful and dreamy moment formed a huge contrast and contrast with the killing and loneliness afterwards. Although the dance in the new version has more communication between the two, it is not expressive.
The new version doesn't seem to care about the details at all. The principal (don’t know if it’s the principal)’s ambiguity about Carrie’s name shows his neglect and perfunctory care about Carrie’s incident. This is also one of the reasons why Carrie killed him at the ball. Although the new version also has it, there is only one thing. , More like a simple imitation of the original. The mother's preaching to Su's mother not only shows her mother's obsession and obsession with religion, but also shows her alienation from other mothers. Chrissy's buddies mixed into the behind-the-scenes work of the ball appear real, and give life to the role of Soy Sauce. Kris and her boyfriend's love and hate fight in the car makes the roles of the two people very plump, and also shows the relationship between the two people's exaggeration and hypocrisy, which makes Kris seem superficial and annoying. Not getting off the bus at the prom is also a hypocrisy that girls want. All of this is omitted in the new version.
As for the changes in the remake. As far as the final killing is concerned, the original version is a sudden outbreak of stimulation after a long period of depression. Carrie is not a murderer in the strict sense, but more like a victim. In the new version, Cologne has become a cold-blooded killer. The physical education teacher survived and was acceptable. Su Lai helped some superfluous when Carrie killed her mother. Regarding superpowers, Carrie was afraid and cautious in the original version, and the Koror version was very happy and willing to use it, which further weakened Carrie's solitary and weird character. Not being killed because of pregnancy completely changed the original meaning of karma that Su was kicked out of the prom because he really helped Carrie and survived.
Generally speaking, the Carrie remake of Corot is perfunctory and nondescript, and the special effects of the new century are not at all enjoyable. Just look at the plaintiff.
