When it comes to campus horror movies, it is estimated that 80% of friends will think of ghost movies for the first time.
Regardless of the classic Thai ghost film "Ghost Shadow" in 2004.
Or let many people remember the "Sopranos Talk" series.
It can be said that it is a good work in this kind of horror film.
Of course, horror films with school stories are far more than ghost films, and what "The Teacher's Favor", "Queen's Classroom", "Teachers Are Not Human", "Real Devil Games", etc., all let people appreciate how terrifying the silence under calm is. But this kind of horror film also has a problem that is not a problem, that is, the appearance of the actors who play the male and female protagonists is becoming more and more idolized. If the plot is filled with a lot of thriller scenes, I think it may be a school idol romance film with some dog blood.
However, the film to be introduced today can be called the originator of campus horror films.
<h1>Carrie the Witch</h1>
Released in 1976, the film is a famous American director, known as "Hitchcock of the United States" and "contemporary suspense master" Brian de Palmer, following the release of "Lost in Love" in the same year. However, unlike the thrilling suspense of "Mystery", this "Witch Carrie" is more to connect the plot to social phenomena, using religious beliefs and cruel crimes to set off the dark side of the quiet life on campus.
Put it this way, if "Lost" is the source director Brian de Palma's interpretation of Hitchcock-esque suspense, then "Carrie the Witch" is his unique perspective on the "bullying" and "discrimination" in reality.
She has always lived under the colored eyes of others, she is like a monster, unable to integrate into the campus, suffering from the white eyes of others.
Ugly faces
Even the children on the road hated the girl named Carrie.
But one day her life seemed to take a turn for the better, but the circle of life that seemed to be about to begin to change made her fall into an incomparable abyss...
At this time, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world
The film is 98 minutes long, and as far as horror films are concerned, the whole film is not very outstanding in terms of horror atmosphere rendering, and even more like a thriller than a horror film. Instead of scaring the audience with the lens of "ghost appearing" as in recent years, "Summoning Spirits" and "Lurking", nor stimulating the audience's nerves with bloody scenes like "Real Devil Game", but stabbing the heart of every audience through the heroine's dead eyes.
This woman is more deplorable than anyone else.
She didn't know why others were doing this to her and laughing at her. She didn't understand what those so-called common senses were, and even when menstrual leave came, she would be frightened and afraid that she was going to die. She is like a blank piece of paper, timidly wanting to integrate into society and be a normal person.
But it was almost a delusion, and even her biological mother thought she was a sin!
Watching her daughter suffer all the grievances, she did not have any comforting action
Yet even this, the girl did not give in, and she tried to start changing all this with her own actions...
Subdued her mother with her mind
In terms of plot, "Carrie the Witch" is not strictly a horror film, its description of "school bullying" and "twisted family education" is more like an alternative youth education film for parents and teachers to watch. The helplessness of young girls, the tragic experience of being bullied, the distorted concept of family after being backward and having no freedom, all kinds of things are like an iron fork in people's hearts. And Carrie incarnated as a witch, and the figure under the fire was even more suffocating. (Carrie White, a very introverted girl, but her personality and obsessed with religious worship made her the most unpopular person in her class, being bullied every day.) But even so, she still integrated into everyone and became a normal person. However, when she attends the graduation party despite her mother's objections, the identity of a "prom queen" turns all this into a nightmare... Not just hers, but someone else's! ）
It was the applause and smile she had dreamed of
How much she wanted herself to be in this moment, no other people's blank eyes, no other people's bullying, some just other people's applause and smiles. But God may always not love this poor girl.
Let some nasty guy smash it all up and push the girl into the abyss once and for all.
She hated those people, hated those who constantly laughed at others.
The maiden's last shred of sanity was lost, and at this moment she was both a witch and a death.
End all the sins in front of you in the light of the fire.
This is the story of the awakening of the weak: she never wanted to integrate into this society, to be an ordinary person, to live a normal life, like a normal girl, to meet a prince who really loved her. But all this seemed to be just a delusion, and when she thought that everything could start perfectly, reality gave her an incomparable blow.
Although she killed those nasty guys,
But when she hid in the house and begged for her mother's comfort, all she got was a sharp blade.
In the movie role, although the other roles except for Carrie, the heroine, are not very prominent, the role of Carrie's mother is still very impressive.
In this film, the heroine's mother, Margaret White, is played by Piper Laurie, a character between holiness and the devil. Early in the film, the character gives the impression of a perfect ascetic nun, with a belief in faith everywhere in life.
However, it is such a character that presents two images in the middle and late stages of the film.
One is the image of a mother full of maternal love.
She knew Carrie would be ridiculed, and she hoped she would obey
The other is the image of a mad woman who wants to purify all evil.
She thought Carrie's birth was a mistake, and now she had to fix it all
Finally, I would like to ask you two questions here:
First, why did Carrie choose to die with her mother in the fire at the end of the film?
Second, from the movie, the female teacher is still very good to Carrie, but why did Carrie still kill her at the dance?
