Also, until about five minutes ago in historical time, people thought that slapping was the actual, correct response to a panic attack. It was supposed to "snap them out of it."

Yes, people did drink and drive a lot in the the 70's and the 80's and the 90's. Carrie's mom is an insane breed of Christian which are, unfortunately, endemic in the States even now.
The Shawshank Redemption The Dark Half Stand By Me The Green Mile The Shining Children of the Corn (1984) Creepshow (1982) Firestarter (1984) It (1990) It (2017-2018) Agreed with your list, just hope she does most of the King movies. At least the good ones. The ones that were badly adapted, like Dreamcatcher, she could ignore. I can't remember some of them in regards to the release year. I do not know how many King films she has done. (New to her channel). I hope she goes through most of them however.
Teachers till I was 13 or so often kept a paddle on the desk; corporal punishment was certainly a thing. Kids policed each other by making fun of at the paddlee (done in front of everyone). Our teachers had paddles with several dime seized holes in them. Lord that made em' hurt more; I mean, ummm, from what I was told...lol
@@icedquokka after 12-13 the detention slip was the paddle. But as a kid if you got paddles, it meant you got a second one back at home. Parents, for most kids I knew , put up with varying levels of zero shit from their kid if he was a jerk to a teacher at school.
I don’t understand why they bully Carrie so much I don’t recommend bullying at this point at all because it’s not fair to Carrie and even her mother is the worse what she did to her own daughter is also abusive and cruel but the pig’s blood was tragic 🩸 Carrie deserves better
In the book : 2 buckets fall - carrie blows up the schools gas tank - carrie blows up every gas station - takes out every fire hydrants in the the street so the firemen can't put out the fire - stops her mom's heart & kills her - walks to the house where she was born & looks at Sue & says " You should have just left me alone " and Carrie dies. And Tommy dies.
1. Stephen King threw this book away, but his wife took it out and told him to send it in. It's the first one that sold to a legitimate publisher that wasn't adult pulp and the first to be adapted into a movie. 2. Back then teachers were allowed to strike a student if warranted. (Class of 1979) 3. Sissy and Piper Laurie were both nominated for Acadamy Awards, but horror didn't get love back then. 😭😭 4. Norma/PJ Soles, As long as I have a face....😝😈 (she has to ace that ballcap) 5. Sue, Tommy and Miss Collins really were trying to help Carrie. I read the book. 6. If Billy's a high school student, so am I. 7. Margaret's crucifixion pose is the same as the St. Sabastian statue. 8. In the book half the town burns. No budget for that here 9. The only thing good in the second LOSER remake is Carrie/Chloe Grace Moretz could get it. (King remakes are 0/10) Including "IT" and "The Stand"
I hate when they make out the moment when SK’s wife iconic or somthing .no it’s k nothing like that they were very poor and his wife wanted desperately to get some money so she made SK write the story becouse they needed money quick it’s a sad moment but at the end it turned out well
@@marcelogutierres-sk7tq Check out King's non-fiction book "Danse Macabre". His story about this is in there. He was teaching school and submitting stories to "pulp fiction" magazines to make extra cash. He was throwing away most of his material. She convinced him to push this one.
Ha! Everyone thinks they're going to get out of Carrie without a jump scare! 🤣 One of the most imitated jump scares of all time, that moment alone is why it's considered a horror classic. The rest of the movie is a tragedy with some supernatural elements! The horror is Carrie's life! (Great reaction video!!!)
Horror movie history. The ending was the first time a movie ends with a jump scare. After that directors called it a "Carrie ending ". After years so many years many movies were doing it and people forget this is where that trend started.
Sue is in the next sequel carrie 2 the rage plays a high-school counselor also FYI Tommy's ross real mother is actress Barbara hale who plays Stella in perry mason secretary
Notice how Sue in her dream sequence is going to the "grave site" on a sunny day, but then when she kneels down and looks up at the "For Sale" cross just before she puts the flowers down - the sky is Black - just before the jump scare. I bet they did that on purpose to make it just that much scarier. (!!!)
The whole movie was darkly fun in its unrealistically extreme portrayals; from Carrie's opening shower sensuality, to the subsequent in-your-face high school tropes of cliques / cruelty / narcissism / religion / payback/ etc. To me, it was the future Southpark's dark evil twin.
Brian De Palma is a brilliant director, and Stephen King has written some of the best stories in modern fiction. Sissy Spacek was just amazing as she always is. The 1970s were a very different world indeed.
Sue and Tommy wanted to do something nice for Carrie. Tommy died when the bucket hit him. Sue and Tommy didn't know about the prank. You can see it from their facial expressions. Tommy liked being there with Carrie, especially when they were dancing.
Brian De Palma the director was influenced by Alfred Hitchcock as seen in those closeups and the melodramatic cinematography; and also for the soft-core porn scenes. He made some other good horror films like _Dressed to Kill_ (1980) and _Body Double_ (1984)
Absolutely fantastic reaction. Love the heart monitor. First time I have seen this. All movie reactors should have a heart monitor. Made a subscriber out of me. Well done IcedQuokka. 🙂
Noticed your heart monitor went over 100 when Carrie's Mum attacked her with a knife, obviously this scene had quite a big effect on you. And the end scene where Carrie's hand came out of the grave blew your socks off with a heart monitor rating peaking at 113. This scene also made me jump out of my skin when I first watched the movie at the cinema back in the day. Also I noticed you were still quite hyped up about the movie when beginning your review with monitor ratings over 100 but you calmed down towards the end. Great movie and a great reaction.
Im so glad you enjoyed!!! Thank you for subscribing 🤍🤍🤍 yeah my heart goes up a lot when I’m nervous or moving around a lot hahaha but it’s so fun watching it jump up with a Jumpscare!!
I'm running with multiple Stephen King theories here: Margaret White (Carrie's mother) had a fling with Jack Torrence (from The Shining) and was impregnated. Carrie has The Shining. Margaret White was also a Profit of God, just like Mother Abigail in The Stand. While Mother Abigail could handle it, Margaret went crazy.
Thanks for your review! "Carrie" is one of my favourite movies. 1:13 Norma Watson (the girl with the red hat) suggesting to the opposing party to "hit it to Carrie, she'll blow it"... that's awkward indeed, using the opponent to justify your own scapegoat... now I understand why the gym teacher was picking on Norma during detention ("Energy Norma come on!", "Stretch Norma, Stretch!") 2:38 normal procedure back in the 1970s, and Stephen King also mentions this in the book. 5:36 poor girl... watch Swiss movie "Merette" or the more popular "The Magdalene Sisters"... they give a good impression about what can happen to female persons when Christianity becomes something obsessive. 5:54 Saint Sebastian, not Jesus. Meanwhile, I learned that Sebastian did not die because of the arrows; he was beaten to death with cudgels. 7:20 I had a teacher like him in the 1980s when I had literature class. Got stamped "no literary talent". And now, I'm writing a novel about all those years of bullying and abuse I underwent... 9:38 once again, normal procedure in the 1970s when you were misbehaving. 13:05 even worse, her mother did not allow her to go anywhere but school. Of course, mother does not know Carrie is informed very well about what the place has to offer, as we will see later. 16:48 this is not a prank, but assault... they killed a pig, didn't they? 17:36 Tommy and Sue were good-hearted after the shower incident. 18:17 the "dirtypillows" is explained in the book. 21:53 this is nowhere to be revealed, but maybe it is because Carrie exposes some kind of vulnerability that makes the bullies feel uncomfortable. 25:17 exactly three people = Chris, Norma and Norma's prom date (Billy was more or less shanghaied into it). 31:21 that was Piper Laurie's idea. She wanted her character to die in an orgastic way, as if it were something she was longing for all her life. 34:13 that was a classic jumpscare... here is another one that still gets me, 41 years after the movie was made... from Dutch movie "The Lift": ruclips.net/video/ftr6-3r9TSc/видео.html
Carrie's mom told her that her dress was red before she went to the dance, but it was pink. Coming home though it had turned to red because of the blood. I don't know if they did that like an easter egg detail or maybe it was symbolic.
The women who plays Sue Snell's mother in Carrie, actress (Priscilla Pointer) is really the real life mother of Sue Snell /Actress (Amy Irving) Her mother Priscilla Pointer is now 100 years old.
29:58 In the same way that religion is propaganda, this is anti-religious propaganda written by someone that hates organized religion. It's interesting to see how easily people can be influenced by works of fiction.
There are still religions that think women showing any skin that exposes more than hands and eyes are sinful. Some Christian varieties too. Some blame Eve for all the world’s problems. These are tactics to maintain male dominance. If one ever loves a woman, as a friend, mother, sister, partner, whatever, they must see we are all equal.
5:55, 32:50 "Jesus statue"??? Have you ever seen a depiction of Jesus with a bunch of arrows in his body? 😂😂😂 Isn't it more likely that this is a Saint Sebastian statue considering that at least to my knowledge there is no other saint with this particular, hagiographic attribute? 😉 8:57 Come on, 70s movies are known for being full of shots of sexy bodies (post sexual revolution). Nothing to be uncomfortable with. 11:00 Here in Austria a lot of people still drink and drive. 😁 21:10 They are having a good time, that's why.
"Religion itself is horrific!" 🤣🤣🤣 The real horror of Carrie is that Child Protective Services couldn't take Carrie away from her abusive mother. Physical abuse aside 😅 the mental/psychological damage parents do by forcing religion on their children really needs to be studied...
The best horror movies use monsters as stand-ins to mirror fears we all have. "The Fly" is about watching a loved one dying of a terminal illness and being unable to do anything; vampire movies are about the fear of being seduced by a charmer who turns out to be an abuser you can't get away from. The opening scene of "Carrie" in which she has her first period, and it's pig blood at the climax, tells you what it's really about.
Back when this was filmed the only states that didn't have corporal punishment were Hawaii and Massachusetts, so the teacher slapping the students was the norm, horrible, but the norm. I'm not trying to convince you to like Stephen King, I hate it when I don't like something and people try to convince me otherwise, but (and yes i realize the but sort of negates my previous statement) three of his movies are generally considered great cinema that you might appreciate. Two are just dramas, 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'Stand By Me' and one is a great drama with a little bit of supernatural thrown in 'The Green Mile' . anyways great reaction, can't wait to see what else comes with Halloween season, the BEST season of all.
"What's going on with them? They're so toxic!" 🤣🤣🤣 Nancy Allen and John Travolta get to be the main characters in De Palma's Blow Out (a very good thriller) after he uses them as villains in Carrie. They are far more likeable (I'm not a huge Travolta fan but he's great in Blow Out), but they really crush their over the top bully performances here. King loves to write bullies😅, but at least they get what's coming to them - Christine, Stand By Me, and Sometimes They Come Back also have some great teen bullies.
Great video, and great to see my good friend Kangi! It's very much a Stephen King trope to have an evil religious fundamentalist who is projecting their own sins onto other people. I get where he's coming from but his lack of subtlety in this regard is rather bad writing imo. But then I'm no King fan either. Although I think this is also exaggerated, there are definitely some 70s attitudes that - thankfully - are less common today. Teachers hitting kids, drink driving, ignorance about one's own body, bullying. Of course these problems haven't gone away but they do happen less.
Recently caught an old TV movie that kinda rips off Carrie (but in a good way) - The Spell 1977 I highly recommend it to any fans of Carrie. The finale is particularly great. Also, for 'Carrie as a wacky teen comedy' - Zapped
