In the book, Margaret also tried to gouge Carrie's eyes out when she was three for...talking to their neighbour, who was wearing a bikini. Book Margaret is the most evil and sadistic version. Also, Tommy did develop feelings for Carrie in the book and even thinks that he loves her when they're crowned King and Queen, but I don't think he would've acted on those feelings without Sue's blessing.
Tommy fell for Carrie, because Carrie loved Tommy, and her emotions were affecting him, like a form of telepathy. His inner thoughts have him falling for her, and he didn't even know why.
Actually the stabbing of the mother in the film are meant to be similar to that creepy Jesus statue Carrie’s mom keeps in that closet she locked Carrie in.
The statue is actually of St. Sebastian. Common misconception. In the 2013 version, it's a statue of Christ on the cross, though. Both are pretty symbolic in their own ways.
Yes! I remember seeing the movie in the theater when it was released in 1986 or so and in the credits at the beginning of the movie it says it is based on a short story by Mr. King called "The Body". I haven't read the original story but the movie is one of my all-time favorites, so I would also like to see a video about it. By the way, great video on Carrie as usual. Many thanks 👏👏👍
If I'm not mistaken Delores Claiborne by S. King also does not have chapters. It's been awhile since I read D. Claiborne but I remember reading it in one night due to the lack of chapters.
In the book, in carrie’s last moments she wants her mother. Killing her mother by slowing her heart was real emotional and the fact that Carrie wanted her mom at the end was heartbreaking to me.
The prom scene is also different because in the movie Carrie soaks everyone with a fire hose and then electrocutes her headteacher holding the microphone with it, setting him on fire. In the book she turns the sprinkler system on after she left the gym, that soaks everyone and then the water is directed at someone near electrical equipment, electrocuting them and starting a fire.
Also, she practically destroys the town, the oil tankers near the school get engulfed with flames, causing a massive explosion. She's also destroying every fire hydrant she comes across, so the fires can't be put out. Close to 500 people were killed because of her.
@@molasorrosalom4846 yeah I really don’t know why that was included in the movies cus it would’ve been a necessary addition. If only King was a screenwriter.
That's one of my favourite scenes in the movie, when she's telling 'Carrie' she's pretty, looking into the mirror. I never forgave Brian DePalma for killing off Miss Collins in the film, as she was one of my favourite characters (played by the amazing Betty Buckley, who would then go on to play Carrie's mother, in the 1988 stage musical!!).x
Glad you liked the book better-it's such great read. There is a Carrie 2 ('The Rage'), a film sequel and there's a remake of the original, with Chloe Grace Moretz playing 'Carrie', but they're both a bit 'Meh' !! x
Thank you. I hope it's worth reading. I like the movie I don't like that they call Carrie ugly in the book because it seems like they're bullying her. But I guess that's the point. I slipped through it and a school library years ago. I thought her physical description was over the top
Came here after watching the movie after I read the book and was so disappointed in the movie. They removed important parts and added in parts that didn’t matter

Astute observation!

@@seymurali7308probably a budget thing
There’s a few scenes from the movie I wish was in the novel: where Ms. Collins (Desjardin) comforts Carrie and where she confronts Sue and Tommy.
That's one of my favourite scenes in the movie, when she's telling 'Carrie' she's pretty, looking into the mirror.

I need to read the book again
should also add the musical in there to
Carrie had an unstable mom. She definitely had a mental illness.
Glad you liked the book better-it's such great read.

Chloe Grace on the other hand, they really couldn't make her look the least bit unattractive in the remake.
