    I love how you tell the story. I want to add that other reason for Carrie being bullied in school in the book, is that her mother made her eat stuff that gave her pimples and made her gain weight, in an attempt to make Carry look less "pretty" and "drive her away from sin". Is so heartbreaking that she endured abuse from her mother and her classmates.

      I think a big part of her mother’s abuse comes from her husband apparently raping her. (I think so please don’t take my word on this). Doesn’t excuse it but definitely added to her already unhinged mental state

      After accepting Tommy's prom invitation Carrie had newfound enlightenment and independence from her mother. She wouldn't eat her "apple cake" because it "gave her pimples." She told Mom she was going to the prom and "things are going to change." This was all ruined by the chaos that ensued at the prom.

    Carrie was a victim turned villain. She went through hell at home and school. I absolutely believe that Margaret White was sexually abused as a girl and led to her mental breakdown and warped her view of sex. I also believe she wanted revenge on the town (especially the Cavalier) for their sins, so abused Carrie to snap and become the "angel with a sword of fire" going though the town cutting down the sinners (referenced in the book).

    I think Carrie is one of the best horror character ever created because she is not inherently evil rather many shades of gray. For some peoples like myself what she did was justice while other deem her actions cruel and horrid. I like that she is not so one sided like most horror characters that can only be translated as pure evil.

      Not saying that bullied people or people with mental issues will always turn into a public shooter, but most of the shooters have some kind of mental issues or they have been bullied themselves. It's a serious problem.

    Fun fact! In an interview, he told that the shower scene was inspired by the time he was a janitor in a high school. The girls shower had countians to keep privacy, unlike the boys' showers. He thought is was s nice way of giving those girls some privacy. So he wrote the scene specifically without them to make Carrie feel more vulnerable by taking away that small protection.

So I invited/befriended everyone who came new in class or seemed lonely or was bullied by "the popular people". Which actually worked we had our own small group of people who didn't seem to fit in - some people came, some left not everyone was best friends with everyone but it gave us all some sense of safety because we were not alone when someone started to pick on one of us and we had each other.

    I relate to Carrie because I was bullied for wearing leg braces at school, because I was born with cerebral palsy. What makes my story even sadder is that I was bullied by my own sister and she was ashamed of me because she didn't want people to know that I was her sister with a disability and because of my personality, because she doesn't know that I suffered from MPD (multiple personality disorder). I was bullied to the point where I tried to take my own life when I was 13. I was going through a lot ever since I was 5 years old and the bullying made my trauma really worse. I never thought I would ever be happy but because of my friend, I finally got what I wanted after a long time, true happiness

    @Analog_Anarchist 3 года назад +521

    I think the happiest part of Carrie is at the end. It was a separate correspondence from a Tennessee mother to her sister in Georgia, years after the events of the main story.
    It talks about how the writer was the mother of a backwoods family, alongside a father present with her other 2 sons. The letter talks about a little girl who is laughing happily as she play with marbles. But she isn't touching them...
    It's implied that this is Carrie White reborn and living a happy life. She finally is living a life with a happy family, without any implied religious activity, with friends in her brothers and both parents as a complete family.
    I think that's possibly one of the happiest endings in a Stephen King story, and I am happy that in the end, Carrie got to be happy.

    • @theangelproductions
      @theangelproductions 3 года назад +132

      It really is a beautiful ending. It's ironic that some people act like Carrie is a villainous character when the message of the story, which was stated outright by Sue, is that she wasn't born a monster, she was turned into a destructive force because of the abuse and neglect inflicted on her. When she's reborn, she was finally allowed to be her true self because she has family who she can rely on in times of stress rather than using her power for vengeance.

Also it's implied that the more she uses the power, the more her mental state deteriorates because it physically effects the body.

      @@theangelproductions You know how Disney feels like it has to give some of its villains a tragic backstory in these dumb-ass remakes?
      Before I answer that, let me derail my own train of thought by saying that I’ve never thought of Carrie White as a villain. That said, I can’t stand when an actual villain’s motives are retconned by some type of past scorn (i.e. Malificent).
      This is why, as someone who’s read the book and seen what I consider to be *THE ONLY* film adaptation of Carrie (1976) multiple times, Carrie has never felt like a villain.
      She’s the victim.
      Director Brian De Palma and Producer/Screenwriter Lawrence D. Cohen described Carrie’s decent into madness as “tipping over,” as the bucket of pigs blood fell on her. This was what her mother had threatened would happen. After a literal lifetime of abuse from just about everyone around her… Well, to paraphrase the novel: They had finally given her the shower that they wanted.
      I know not everyone in the gym (film) was guilty, nor was everyone in town (novel). In both cases she just seemed unhinged. More than understandably so.
      Up until this point (with the exception of the stones in the novel, Carrie’s Telekinesis was executed by short bursts of rage. At the prom, having been ultimately and grotesquely humiliated, Carrie delivered her vengeance in a state of numbness.
      Which is also, in my opinion, why the ridiculous Jedi Force movement crap in the 2013 reboot fails miserably.

    I know the prom dress is actually red in the book, and I get what it does symbolically, but I think I prefer the idea that Carrie's dress isn't actually red; maybe not pink, but a shade of red that isn't as fire-engine obvious. But her mom is so crazy she can't see the nuance, she only sees it as a red dress and all the evil she sees in Carrie. The point is that Carrie's mother was never right about her. Carrie wasn't a monster, her mom tormented her into resembling one. So the dress is close to red, Carrie is acknowledging her own independence and womanhood, but it isn't the bright, burning red of Satan like her mother insists it is, because Carrie's intentions are genuinely good to begin with, and nothing like what her mother assumes of her.
    Edit: no one is gonna read this anyway, but it occurred to me that might be why DePalma first chose to make the dress pink: considered nowadays a soft and feminine color, but still innocent. It isn't until the pig blood hits her that Carrie's dress is actually "red" like her mother earlier insisted. It's like a visual cue that Carrie really was innocent with harmless intentions (pink) but the nonstop abuse from every corner of her community drove her to violence (red). It helps drive home the fact that other people made Carrie this way.

    I always viewed the story as a cautionary tale of what not to do in the face of adversity and oppression because fighting fire with fire could burn you just as easily as it could burn those who hurt you. I truly believe that I became a stronger person, at least in part, because of the novel and it will always hold a special place in my heart as a result.

      Vengeance is born from negativity. It offers no closure and often the person exacting the revenge is left in an even worse mental state because they either are appalled at what they did or they get an intense enjoyment from it, which is a slippery slope.
      Either way, vengeance creates a violent loop where those wronged are constantly going out for their pound of flesh. That's not justice. People that think it's justice aren't fully grasping the concept of it and probably have watched too many movies where vengeance is glorified and you never get to see any of the aftermath on the protagonist or the protagonist unrealistically never suffers any consequences.
      Were the bullies in Carrie terrible? Yes, immensely. Did they deserve what they got? No. Death for bullying? What about the people that never bullied Carrie at all? Did they deserve their death? No. Did Carrie deserve everything that was constantly flung at her by those that tormented her. Of course not.
      Does that mean Carrie should be condemned? I'd also say no. The end result is basically one where the main players in the situation are the ones at fault. Carrie's mother, first and foremost. If there was anybody in this story that got what they deserved, it was her. She was a lost cause by this point in her life and was such a poor mother that she inadvertently, through her own madness, created the situation between her own daughter and the bullies, which led to many deaths and the destruction of the town.
      The bullies are at fault as they intentionally targeted Carrie constantly and despite many warnings, never stopped. They lacked empathy, which is a common thing in teenagers when they're obsessed with popularity and high school hierarchy.
      And lastly, Carrie was at fault, but only during her rampage. It's hard to fully blame her in that moment as after everything she's suffered, her mind simply snapped. But she punished everyone, not just the guilty. How anyone could call that rampage justice is beyond me.
      Carrie was a sweet innocent girl that by the end was molded into a cold, heartless, and dangerous monster. She didn't deserve that, nor did anybody at that prom deserve death. Her mother was the source of everything, but her comeuppance came with s severe price.

For those who don't know, Carrie was King's first big literary work. When he was writing it, he thought it was horrible and ended up throwing it in the trash, ready to give up his dream. His wife dug it out of the trash, read it, and convinced him to keep working on it. Carrie would go on to become a bestseller, and the rest is history.

    King's first book and totally captivating! He pierces through teenage reality and psychology in a masterful way. I haven't watched the 2002 version, Moretz was really good at the 2013 one but Spacek owns the role; one of the best lead performances in a horror/thriller movie ever! The most devastating thing is, Carrie never got even the slightest chance of becoming more. And she loved Margaret despite everything.

    I've always loved this story, it personally speaks to me as I relate to the main character very closely, sadly. The book is far more detailed and elaborated than the movie; but none the less, this film is not only a cult classic (the original; I haven't seen the remake) but a golden nugget of Hollywood. Sissy Spasick did an amazing job, such a beauty.

    Growing up, I've also been bullied in school. I've also stood up to bullies who where bullying other kids in school. I feel like, even tho Carrie would not be able to socialize outside of school because of her mother, on the grounds of the school, me and her would've been good friends.
    I can imagine that growing up being unable to socialize with people properly, not having a decent parent to teach you good values and not having good friends to encourage and support you to be the best version of yourself, would lead any person to struggle the way Carrie did. King wrote a good story, but also a very sad one.

    When I was in school, there was this extremely religious girl who came to our school from a different one, she was weird, in the sort of aura sense that she exuded, and very jumpy around us.
    I saw her sitting by herself, praying before she ate. We live in an area with baptists and religious folk so it didn’t look odd to anyone, some of us did the same thing. I went to sit with her when some of the people I sat with said they tried but she made it a point that she didn’t want anyone to sit with her.
    I sat near her and asked her how her day was, a simple “hi, how you doin?”, and she jumped like ten feet in the air she got so startled. I asked if I scared her, and she said “I don’t like people, go away.” I told her sorry and walked away. Nobody bothered her as much as we could manage, of course we still tried to speak to her, and we all tried to invite her to sit with us, but she always slumped in on herself before slinking away to her lonely table.
    I got concerned and asked a few teachers who had lunch duty with us to keep an eye on her because she was kinda scaring us. She would look so pitiful and miserable but the moment people tried to make an effort and offer her friendship, she pushed it away and seemed to turn her nose up at us, starting over by looking miserable.
    I saw her reading Carrie in the library, we didn’t have that book since this was a middle/high school and those books were too graphic, so I knew it came from home.
    My mom is a Stephan King buff and I asked her what the book was about.
    She told me and I noted that the book looked worn out and seemed to match how the girl was behaving to a T.
    Isolation, loneliness, and inability to connect to others. The only difference being she seemed to want to be alone and wallow in self pity of some kind.
    A couple of years later, after everyone stopped trying to make an effort because she didn’t want it, we heard that she had been planning to cause a school shooting after posting some things on insta and Snapchat. None of us had those but her cousin, who had come to the school after her, said that she was mentally not there and idolized Carrie.
    Presumably, she wanted to make herself seem alone and isolated so she could justify herself in her attempt to hurt us.
    We all were shaken up and when someone new came, we tried to joke and ask them to not read Carrie.
    We got lucky it didn’t happen again before we, my class, graduated.
    All this to say, I feel bad for Carrie because she didn’t deserve anything that happened to her, but this girl had twisted that a bit to suit her own needs.

    The Caviler is the same roadhouse that Ralph got drunk. This is the place of her conception in away. Also the she returns home to her momma because she was hoping to be with her before killing her. She wants her momma when she dies. She kills Margaret because she wants to fend herself from further attack. The whole fact that Carrie ‘loses her humanity’ doesn’t happen. Carrie isn’t a villain Stephen King said that he never wrote her as a villain when caused her destruction yes she does it without humanity but she still has it. She just takes it out of the equation. I mean she could have kill her mother by crucifying her but she chose to spare her the pain and she stopped her heart. And until her period Carrie was never consciously in control of her powers. Her period was her traumatic experience that set off the ability to consciously control the power. And Margaret knew about the power. That’s why she was scared when she got her period because she was afraid of what might happen and if the power would come back. She was aware of the power through the fact of her grandmother who also had these powers.

    The De Palma film is what led me to read the book - but even after a tv film, and a remake I still feel as if every adaptation misses the true horror and sadness behind Carrie. I had hopes for the 2013 film, and while enjoyed - it still disappointed. I truly believe the tv adaptation had the right idea on creating a miniseries - but didn't use the time to explore things further. If adapted again - I think a three episode, even four - series would be great under Netflix or something. Incorporating more details, and exploring the psychological torment behind the character. Ep. 1 could be everything up until the closet scene - showing her birth, childhood memories, the stones - introducing the White Commission report - her period, the incident with the bike. Ep. 2 would start by her release from the closet - we meet several survivors of Black Prom - the detention, Chris's expulsion/her father's threat of court - some brief added fluff (further instances of bullying - fleshing out characters) - end with Sue asking Tommy to take Carrie to the prom. Ep. 3 - Tommy asks her - Carrie says no - Ms. Desjardin gets involved - Sue's main trial scene (she will have several of course) - Tommy asks her again - she says yes - Chris finds out - Billy and his goons go to a pig farm - the dinner scene/telling Margaret. Ep. 4 - Prom night - detailed witness accounts by survivors (again, sprinkled throughout - but this is their episode to shine) - (we do the book events of her humiliation - encompassing the idea that this is Stephen King's Cinderella - she trips, she loses her slipper - fleeing into the night - just as the novel) - the destruction of Chamberlin - the aftermath - Sue's final thoughts. This story is mostly told in flashbacks - and in modernish times - I think some found footage could be interesting as evidence to support the claims made by the White Commission. We could get security cams - some iPhone coverage - etc - nothing excessive, but the usual technological traces of such a catastrophe. (The trial would be the plot device - the point being made whether or not Carrie White was a monster or a victim of circumstance, and how the small town of Chamberlain, Maine had turned a blind eye on a girl that was in need of their help. The school knew, the parents knew, the children knew - nobody did anything). There is a way to further flesh out this story - and make a beautifully tragic adaptation. (Also side note: let Carrie be chubby for heavens sake, she can still be beautiful Hollywood - I assure you). Long reply, I know - but I've always had such a fascination for this particular story - and there's so much more that can be done with it.

    • @theangelproductions

      I agree. FX bought the rights and plan to make a miniseries, which I'm hoping is decent. I think the 2013 movie got the closest to the feel and look of the book, but I still want to see a chubby Carrie with acne - it makes her much more relatable and empowering for people who also look like her. It would also be cool to see more of the town itself, and maybe some exposition as to why a lot of the townsfolk weren't exactly innocents in the destruction. Also, I just want Carrie to wear a red dress for once.

Since she doesn't look like an Angel, their Caveman brains will instantly label her a Monster. The Halo Effect isn't just Hollywood, its human nature. In order for these idiots to sympathize they MUST find her attractive. She also must always be a girl, no gender-bending to make it a gay male bullied by religious parents and a bigoted school, nope. They'd label him a school shooter and say he should have "Manned Up".
