Not everyone was laughing, but we see through Carrie's perspective in that scene. Through blinding rage and with her mother's words echoing in her mind, she can't differentiate anymore. She's alone, scared, humiliated...and they will all pay for it. I've been there. Not to the same extent as Carrie, but ... fortunately I had some people in my corner, though at the time it didn't really matter. Rage is a powerful force. The tragedy is that Carrie would never get the chance to come to terms with hers. From the moment she was born, she never stood a chance. And Sissy Spacek is beyond phenomenal in this. She doesn't just sell her role, she makes you believe it, whole-cloth.

"This is not how you cut carrot." - Dasha, The Cutie Patootie 🤣👍

Stephen King said that Carrie was inspired by two girls he remembered from school. Both were outcasts, and both died young. One from an epileptic fit, and one from a self-inflicted shotgun blast.

[@rickskynight98]

Dasha, that's how our P.E. shorts were up until the 80s and early 90s.

[@Bloody-Butterfly]

Carrie was just imagining the teachers laughing. In reality only a few dozen students were laughing. But Carrie saw it as everyone.

[@Wezwolf]

A few dozen? That's like 50 people. No wonder she took it out on all of them - It's easier than trying to identify and remember who the 50 were, and try to separate them from the others.

[@Bloody-Butterfly]

@@Wezwolf Yes but it should be noted that in her mind, it literally was everyone. That is important because that can happen to a person when they are being bullied. It is accurate.

[@Wezwolf]

@@Bloody-Butterfly Oh yeah I'm not questioning her state of mind - But are you sure there were 50 people actually laughing at her? I thought closer to 8 or 10

[@auerstadt06]

She's having a psychotic break.

@@Wezwolf Oh no, I’m not certain of the number.

[@billthomas478]

Tommy and Sue were genuine. Sue wanted to atone for what she had done to her in the shower. Tommy was legitimately having fun. It's Billy and Chris who had cruel intentions towards her. Carrie also imagines everyone laughing at her because of what her mom said.

[@baronvg]

The prom scene scared me so badly as a child that anytime I saw a glimpse of it on the tv, I would literally run out of the room 😂

[@IanFindly-iv1nl]

Sue became sympathetic to Carrie after seeing her crazy mother at her house (3:15) which made her understand why Carrie was the way she was. And Chris and Norma hated Carrie cause they got in trouble over her (that period incident). The only characters that I thought Carrie was Justified in killing were Chris and her mother as THEY attempted to kill her first (one by attempting to hit her with her car and the other by stabbing her). And I tend to agree with you on that PE teacher - she just made the situation worse. And no, I doubt that slap would've flown, even in the seventies.

[@kennyhayesmusic7499]

You know what? I hadn't actually thought about that until now: Ms. Collins definitely made things worse by slapping Chris. It only fueled Chris' motivation to make Carrie's life even more miserable. I absolutely agree. Now, Ms. Collins had no idea just how far Chris would go in the end, but she definitely didn't help anything by slapping. It just made Chris want to one-up the slap. *sigh* I love this movie. One of my all-time faves. 🥰🥰

[@jimiewilliams7623]

In the novel, Chris' father threatened to sue the school, but after dealing with his spoiled daughter, he decided she should just suck it up and miss the prom.

[@jimiewilliams7623]

@@kennyhayesmusic7499 It's a little more complex than that in the novel. Carrie had been bullied by the same people since she was in elementary school. Also, Chris' father threatened to sue the school over the slap, but after dealing with his spoiled daughter, he decided that she should just suck it up, and miss the prom. No one, not even Ms. Collins, were responsible for the wrath of Billy and Chris. They were just two demented puppies.

[@j.woodbury412]

Before they started filming the movie, Sissy Spacek, who played Carrie, told the rest of the castmates that she loved them all and was looking forward to working with them, but while the movie was being filmed she was going to stay away from them and for them to not take it personally; she just wanted to feel the isolation her character felt. P.J. Soles, who played Brenda (the girl with the red baseball cap) said later in an interview, that they all respected Sissy so much for doing that they were all meaner to her than they were supposed to be because they believed it would help her give a better performance. Nancy Allen, who played the main bully, Chris, said she never knew how mean her character was until she watched the movie. Piper Laurie, who played Margaret, Carrie's mother thought the movie was a black comedy, which is why she gave such an off the wall performance. Amy Irving, who played Sue Snell and Priscilla Pointer, who played Sue's mother, are daughter and mother in real life. Sissy Spacek insisted on performing the stunt in the last scene herself when Carrie stuck her hand out from under her grave. Stephen King said, who wrote the novel the movie was based on, said he nearly soiled himself then he saw that scene. The scene at the end where Sue carries the flower to Carrie's grave was filmed with her walking away from the grave backwards and then the film was played in reverse. That's why the scene has an ethereal, dreamlike quality to it.

[@hellsunicorn]

There are religious people, there are crazy people, and neither approaches what Carrie’s mom is. Piper Laurie deserved an Oscar for this performance.

This was one of the first movies in what felt like a long run of horror movies in the '70s, this was one of the first to bring in the concept of a jump scare at the end. Prior to this, most horror movies would end with some sort of resolution that meant the audience could leave relieved and reassured, after this, every horror tried to end with a jump scare

[@dtz1000]

It was funny watching how she reacted to that jump share.

[@claytonbishop4021]

Sissy Spacek once auditioned for the role but the producers think she's too pretty then later she try again but this time she went without makeup. The rest is history.

[@jimiewilliams7623]

Well, that was silly, because in the novel, Carrie may dress funny and was an awkwardly social, outcast but she was still probably the most beautiful girl in school, pimples and all. No one else seems to notice until prom night, so finding someone less attractive, would have been a mistake.

The lighting in the dinner table scene around the 14:00 mark where Carrie talks about prom. The lighting effect when her mother stands up and say NO. I have always loved the final scene where Carrie sets the school ablaze. She walks out of there so slow and methodical which to me is scary. She looks like the Devil. lol Good for Carrie for taking care of business We didn't take any crap in the 70's . HAHA I heard during an interview with Amy Irving, that her scream was so scary that her mother (real mother played her mom) got so freaked out, that she held her and said Her name (Amy) instead of Sue. . The noise was so loud it was not picked up by the microphone. Her own real mother was freaked out. That is a loving mother.

[@johnbuchanon7717]

High school was like that in the 70s, not to that extreme, but there were dirty tricks, teachers could spank, punish independent of the principal but the courts whittled that away. Passive aggression has replaced it. It shifted from parents trusting the school to not trusting the school and schools having to trust the lawyers. Carrie's upbringing by a zealous single mother was odd then but I knew several girls from fundamentalist families who were protected from sex & drugs to the extreme for good or bad. We were more free then but sometimes bad folks took advantage of that. I don't know what Stephen King was trying to say with the story other than fool around & find out when you've targeted a very repressed person who hasn't learned enough self control. Great reaction Dasha!

They weren't brutal when I went to school, but I think they are now. Especially girls. When I went to school, it was mostly the boys bullying, and it was mostly physical and intimidation. These days, social media has become a tool for bullying and this mostly affects girls. Boys tend to bully physically and girls tend to bully socially. Social media has greatly increased the ease and scale of bullying socially, so it's disproportionately affecting girls. Which is sad.

Sorry to hear that. I had the opposite experience, but I grew up more in the country and the boys were all very physical. Farmboys. Therefore there was a lot of fighting and competition. I was always pretty easy going and yet I probably got into a dozen fistfights in school. The boys were just rough, and if you didn't stand up for yourself you got picked on. I never wanted to be that boy, so I would always choose to fight the bullies. Got suspended twice for it, but it was worth it because they never bullied a second time. My point is that culture probably has a lot to do with it.

I highly recommend to read Stephen King's novel "Carrie". The book answers many of your questions. 3:04 Priscilla Pointer plays Sue's mother, and actually is Amy Irving (Sue)'s mother. 5:27 if Carrie had the gym teacher as her mother, all this mayhem would not have happened. 6:11 in the book, Carrie is a silent person who never speaks up. I guess the teacher was overwhelmed by surprise. And oh my yes, some of my teachers at school back in the 1980s also took part in my humiliation... and I'm actually writing a novel about it, finally able four decades after it had happened... 7:12 brutal today, quite normal in the 1970s. 7:58 nope, that is 50 minutes of serious calisthenics per day, added to the regular 3 hours PE per week. 10:17 weird for me too, when I was a teenager, we were not driving cars. We rode mopeds at best, but mostly bicycles. 10:46 Billy and Chris do not share the same school, so Billy does not know Carrie (hence "who?"). 13:27 this is where bullying ends and criminal assault begins. 15:38 Sue is on the good side. 24:02 Carrie activates the sprinklers to ruin the prom dresses.

[@SG-js2qn]

It's a story about the "banality of evil," where nobody is really evil, just more of a thoughtlessness, acting more out of pique than true malice. Like the school principal who keeps calling her "Cassie." The bucket of blood isn't supposed to hurt anyone. The insane mother isn't really trying to hurt anyone, until the end, and that's only because she feels she is confronting Satan. Pushed, Carrie has what amounts to a psychotic break, which coupled with her ability ends in violence, but without that ability ... nothing would have happened. And if Carrie didn't have that ability, she never would have gone to the prom in the first place, because her mother would have prevented it. So, it's the sort of thing where you might look at the result and fairly say, "Well ... that escalated quickly."

This was by no means a daily thing with him. I saw him do this all of three times in four years. This was mid to late 80's. Teacher wasn't a creep, and no one got a bad vibe. He gave my trapezes a pinch once when I was giving him smack, and I was dizzy afterwards. I told him you got me seeing stars. He laughed and said, keep it up and you will. This was pretty much done for fun, as he was not really angry, though I wouldn't want a steady diet of it. Now, any teacher who did that would be nailed to the wall.

Then again, movies don't really need to have effects to be scary anyway...just a creepy story and good direction.

In the book she destroyed the whole town, she was only one who survived

After being the villains here, Brian De Palma works with John Travolta and Nancy Allen again as the protaganists of Blow Out, a very stylish thriller.

[@molasorrosalom4846]

Loved that movie as well, heard John Travolta was suffering from insomnia and depression during that movie, which adds to the performance.

[@leroylowe5921]

This was a De Palma movie? Well that explains the split screen.

[@molasorrosalom4846]

John Travolta and Nancy Allen thought they were playing a bunch of buffoons, and the actress who played the mother thought she was over the top, and it was almost a comedy. Next thing you know, the mother was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actress.

Carrie only imagined all the people at the prom laughing at her, because she was suffering a psychotic break. Only one or two people laughed.

You've got a real thing about people misreading that scene, don't you Murray? 🙂

Great reaction Dasha! This adaption of Stephen King's book was very horrific, but that was his style. 👍❤

[@scottneil1187]

Is his style, he's still writing. He's never been horrific, he's uttey mainstream, James Herbert was horrific.

[@DDD11239]

​@@scottneil1187 E.A. Poe, Lovecraft, Blackwood, Keats, Bierce (or Pierce), had fantastic horror elements. Could also add Lord Byron, for "Darkness".

Maybe from now on you should just have the orange monkey on the couch as a "comfort animal" when watching Horror movies. Or is that a duck? LoL.

Sissy Spacek movie Prime Cut is brutal and haunting but a great watch.

[@matthewforte5341]

Check out movie 43. It has a lot of big names. Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Gerard Butler, Haley Barry. Anna faris, Chris prat. Etc.

The actor who played Tommy Ross was applying for the part of Luke Skywalker. George Lucas was holding auditions for star wars in the same room as Brian DePalma was auditioning for Carrie.

[@molasorrosalom4846]

He starred in that House movie, a classic horror movie from the 80s.

[@dan_hitchman007]

@@molasorrosalom4846 A really cool and weird comedy horror.

​@@molasorrosalom4846House is very underrated. I enjoyed the hell out of that movie.

[@kunserndsittizen2655]

I wonder how upset he was when he saw STAR WARS

[@waterbeauty85]

Amy Irving (Sue) auditioned for Princess Leia. It would have been interesting to see her and William Katt in the roles made famous by Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill.

[@ryandowning9396]

The dead zone is another classic

[@paullandis5524]

I saw this movie when I was a kid and I always thought why kill the pig for his blood I get it how it was supposed to be because of the period thing but red paint would have been just as effective

Keep up the great work Dasha!
