Carrie

I watched the 1976 version of 'Carrie' directed by Brian DePalma this past weekend. The premise of the story was a bit weird and cheesy for me. Carrie doesn't know what a menstrual cycle is and freaks out when she starts bleeding in the locker room. Carrie is being raised by her mother who is a crazy religious nut. I felt sort of bad for Carrie because people laughed at her behind her back and said mean things but really she didn't know any better.
Her mother was 'protecting' Carrie from sin but she ended up being the laughing joke of her school. She gets asked to the prom by the popular guy in school but only because his girlfriend forces him to. I was happy that she finally stood up to her mother and took control of her life. Carrie was a shy and confused girl. Even though I knew that the pig's blood was going to be dropped on her head, I so wished that it wasn't going to. It seemed like she was finally beginning to fit in. Earlier in the movie, we find out that Carrie has telekinesis and when the pig's blood gets dropped on her, Carrie looses it and basically kills everyone at the Prom. Even the teacher that was just trying to help her, which made me sad. It seemed like a very extreme case of bullying that went too far.
Remember kids. Bullying is bad because you never know if they're gonna retaliate with telekinesis and kill you. Be nice to people.
