Monday Recap

On Monday in class we watched the horror movie Carrie from the 70's. I am not a fan of scary or horror movies, but I actually enjoyed it. The movie had many different themes regarding sexuality, religion, and victims. The beginning of the movie Carrie was seen as a victim to the bullies at her school and her mother who over controlled her for the first 16 years of her life. As the movie continued, Carrie was portrayed more as the villain because she had the power of telekinesis, which she used to control her mother, and later on kill her classmates and mother. I, though, never saw Carrie as a villain because her classmate Chris was eager to seek revenge upon her. Carrie always seemed to be very vulnerable like a victim. I perceived the victim as the telekinesis power within her that could move and break things, and kill people. Over all I liked the movie, but it was very strange.
