Was my favorite movie for the longest time.

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2000)

I never liked the beginning (but I guess no straight female would, bunch of naked girls running around the shower room) which actually stopped me from watching the first time i had a chance. I left the room thinking "what? am I in 6th grade health class?" But the next time it was on TNT I was stuck at home and decided to give it a go. Quickly realizing i had made a mistake by giving up on it the first time the beginning is after all essential to the plot. "Carrie" became my favorite movie. Finally I bought it realizing how much I missed watching it during the long gaps between it being on TV. I now have the framed receipt hanging on my wall. (only movie receipt I have ever framed and there's only one other movie in the world that I would frame the receipt of if I could get my hands on it.)I think what I like most about the movie is it shows people aren't born bad they just snap under the bad will of others. Carrie missed out on her chance of a good life because of everyone else. You have this sweet shy girl who gets pushed to her breaking point and does indeed break. It forces you to look at the people who made her snap and lay some of the blame on them rather than just Carrie. Which is a value I think is overlooked in real life. The last thing I have to say is I strongly suggest you do not see the sequel!! Damn the sequel! What are these people trying to do? Ruin a classic?
