Personally, I am not a person who dares to watch horror movies (although I didn’t know this to the extent that I can only talk about horror at first), but the topic of this movie is quite interesting to me and it is related to the topic I want to do. There is a connection, so when a friend asked me to go to the cinema, I thought to some extent that I should watch the following old version from 1976 and do basic homework.

After all, the 1976 version is a bit too long, and it still gives me a sense of age. This is based on the technology. Many post-productions are flawed or not enough compared to the current one, but the overall plot is very complete. Basically There are no bugs in the plot, and the story runs smoothly. In fact, after watching it, I feel that the whole film is not a horror film but just a thriller. It talks about the relationship between parents and children, and the relationship between bullying and bullying in school There is a relationship between teachers and students, but there is one point to say that the time setting of the remake version is at the moment, when technology is extremely advanced, cyber bullying is also added to the movie, and the change in time is indeed necessary. , Not to follow the original movie completely. After watching the old and new movies, I was very impressed with the original. I was very impressed. I went to the Pageone bookstore in Hong Kong to read the Hong Kong version and the original version of this book. I forgot which version was designed to look good, red and pink. The main color of the decoration, and then look for it.

Speaking of movies, overall I left the two deepest impressions on the new version of the movie, "What about the rhythm of the movie?" and "The heroine is acting with her nostrils, right", although I saw that Chole was selected in the trailer. I am still very happy to be the hostess and look forward to her performance, but in normal performances, I remember that she kept talking about No and Mami and the nostrils that constantly stretched and contracted under a very strange shooting angle. She Almost the emotions are in the nostrils, and her expression is also very simple, in fact, there is no gloomy feeling at all. In comparison, the performance of the villain Chris is better than Carrie, maybe because I expected too much of her at the beginning.

I think Carrie’s mother’s performance is in place. After all, it’s a well-known big cast. Many of the masochistic scenes given to her in the new version of the movie are more complete than the old version, pushing the entire state of religious fanaticism to a climax, but her mother is in society. In this state of being a person who is easy to be cast in strange eyes, the new film does not show too much, but focuses more on its own reaction to religion. And the movie setting mother and daughter as red-haired is also in line with many old western concepts of "red-haired witch". The new version of the movie handles the mother part more delicately than the original movie, but I don’t know why it’s strange to Carrie. Let’s talk about the personality. The male lead Tommy has changed from a clever and handsome feeling to a new version of a clumsy muscular man, a typical American high school character who is particularly popular, but it does not feel so good. I am a pair in the back seat. The couple has been complaining about the boy's stupidity, and the way he speaks and his expression are somewhat self-righteous. The second female beauty is a typical blonde beauty with big long legs and tall legs. From here, I can feel the changes of the times to people's aesthetic tastes. I would like the old version of Sue more. . The group of fox friends and dog friends did not stand out, but they felt that the twins were also pretty and eye-catching. If you want to complain, you still have to complain about the physical education teacher. In this respect, there is a certain difference from the old version. First of all, the physical education teacher here does not appear to talk to the principal in private for Carrie to hear, but from beginning to end. They all looked like a good teacher who cared very much about the students. In the old version, because Carrie heard the teacher's complaint to the principal, he felt that the teacher was also teasing her in the end. And I feel that the director has also reduced the role of the physical education teacher in the new version. On the contrary, I personally think that it is very important for the physical education teacher to punish the students and quarrel with them on the grass field. Let me talk about the group of friends, the original movie also has a similar female fourth character who follows Chris, but it is not so obvious in the new version. The whole scene focused on Carrie, although she was not as good as I expected.


Personally, I feel that the new drama has many changes to the details of the overall plot. The overall film’s fineness and even the rhythm of the film make people feel far inferior to the old version. Although the changes are minor, the whole story of the film has been shaken: First of all It was Tommy who ran to Carrie's house when he invited Carrie to the dance. The old version of Carrie distrusted him extremely but agreed because he was worried that his mother would find out. In the end, it was a half-push and half-go dance. The new version of Carrie did not agree in such a state of urgency. After all, this Carrie does not have the gloominess of the old version at all. At most, it is just a little afraid and timid, and she is looking forward to such a "normal" life. of. The psychological structure of the most basic protagonist is set differently here, but this is also probably because different directors have different understanding of the original work. The second point is that when Carrie went crazy in the ball, the old version was due to Carrie's extreme panic and anger, which led to hallucinations, thinking that everyone at the scene was laughing at her, and the entire emotional breakdown began to turn the ball into hell, but in the new version The director no longer uses this segment, but instead lets Carrie see Tommy’s fall. It seems that Tommy’s fall aroused Carrie’s final anger. It gave me the feeling that "my last little bit of beauty will be caused by others." It broke out with the feeling of taking it away, so she somewhat retained her sanity and didn't kill the physical education teacher who had helped her. The third point is that Sue seems to be the only person who is not dead in the old version, but in the new version it is a minority. And Sue even went to Carrie’s house to try to save Carrie. I personally don’t particularly like this segment. More inclined to the old version of the arrangement, Sue was stimulated and couldn't get rid of the dead dream, and the dead dream was also arranged very well, making people feel that Carrie's hatred is still not far away. This can be divided into the fourth point. In the end, the old version is much better than the new version. What's the problem of the tombstone in the new version? ? There is no special suspense at all, nor does it give people a terrible feeling, nor does it understand the meaning of the director's arrangement here. There are more details and I will not compare them one by one. After all, there is no need to remake if they are all the same. Each director has an interpretation of each director.

But in general, the 13th edition made me somewhat disappointed. Although Carrie and mother are very beautiful, the screenwriter and director used too much effort, which made the plot not smooth compared to the 76 years. It was said by a friend who went to see it with me. The first sentence is: What is the point.



PS: Complementary comparison of Angela Bettis's version in 2002 (after reading 13 and 76 version 02): When I first saw it, I felt a little subtle, and I felt photography at first Not very good, the lens is a bit strange, even the director’s grasp of the storyboard makes me feel that it is not as good as the 1976 version, but it is obviously low-cost production, and the 76 version and the 2002 version tend to focus on the creation of the entire atmosphere. The narration of the story has its own merits, but the photography, lens, and background music are not as good as those in 1976 and 2013, and the picture effect is indeed better in 13 years. But Carrie in the intersect. Although I like Chole a lot, she does not show her mastery of the film or a lot of performance. The other two are more superficially intersected, and it may be a problem of the director's mastery. The 2002 version of Carrie is more brilliant and the director's own settings are somewhat different. The 2002 version of Carrie is more real, and the 2013 version of Carrie is actually a bit too fairy. The 1976 version has more detailed expressions. The narrative arrangement in 2002 was also different from the 76 and 13 editions, interspersed with the question of the police's final investigation. From this, you can see that in the end Carrie did not create much terrible chaos but killed the main people, and the ending was also It's not exactly the same, but it always feels like watching a TV show. But intersecting these three versions, I still like the 1976 version the most. The overall visual effect of 2002 is really the worst among the three versions.
