Carrie wasn't really the villain in that situation. She relentlessly bullied at school and abused by her religious mother to a point where she snapped.
@JustKelso19933 жыл бұрын
I can see her being pushed into being a villain. She is a murderer for sure. Villains can be victims too. I see Carrie as a victim who was pushed far enough to become the villain in her own story. She didn't HAVE to kill those people, some 'deserved' it I guess but not all of them. That alone makes her a villain.

@@honestdave very true. I do remember at the end of the remake she was intentionally doing some things almost like she had practiced her powers and she knew that she had them all along. But I also kind of chalk that up to their shoddy production of the film, itself. The remake did the original absolutely no favors. It was rushed and done more for shock value for the current audience with no actual substance. It’s been a while since I’ve watched it, but if I remember correctly, they really didn’t show all that much of the actual abuse she endured. It was like they just wanted to get to the big finale where she kills everyone. Definitely not my favorite remake out there.

While I dont think any of them deserved go die, the teacher did too little too late. This abuse had been going on for years (at home and in the school), and she waited until Carrie was in her senior year of hs to do anything. Punishing the girls and threatening to ban them from prom if they don't participate may look like 'helping' on the surface, but it really only served to escalate the situation. Sue and some of the girls may have learned the right lesson, but Chris and her friend def only learned to resent Carrie even more.

Am I the only one who found Identity horribly obvious? I mean we were told how many identites are there and there was literally counting happening with every murder AND they were supposed to take the kid and keep driving the car yet after the car explodes everyone just forgets about the kid? I mean there was not even a sentence like "oh my god Timmy died cause of Edward" or any indication that Timmy (who by being a kid was most important to keep safe until the car exploded) died in the explosion or exploded or burned or anything. The film just went on like instantly forgetting about the kid everyone seemed to care about and actually went back to the kill count yet no one could... I don't know count to ten? I mean where the fuck did they think the kid is or how did they get 10 without 1 ffs. I get that this happened in a brain of mentally unstable person (the misrepresentation of this illness aside) but for fuck sakes there was a room full of supposedly smart people - doctor(s? Idk), judge, lawyers, prosecutors or whatever it doesn't really matter but lol all supposedly smart people - and NO ONE could add or count to ten? The psychiatrist had a list of all the identities for fuck sakes and he crossed out the ones that died yet he also magically forgets? I mean not only was Timmy the only kid there (and there were TEN identities not a hundred ffs) but he was kinda the most important one - I mean psychologically speaking of course. He had a traumatic childhood in which he created other identities to deal with the trauma - that's how it happens in real life and the psychiatrist in the film even explained that to the others yet he still just magically forgets about the kid who is the core of Malcolm's identity and just... idk assumes Timmy died? Even though it doesn't add up? I mean there were other victims after Timmy and all of this would actually make sense if they changed one simple thing - the kill countdown. If the countdown accepted Timmy as a victim and moved forward accepting that Timmy was eliminated it would make sense. Hell, it would actually be fucking awesome cause it would bring Malcolm to his core, which was a traumatised child, and reveal an awesome psychological twist on so many levels. Yet the plot twist is supposed to be the moment when the film seems to be screaming at its viewers: "CAN YOU NOT FUCKING COUNT TO TEN" 😂😂😂 I really enjoyed the plot twist with Edward being Malcolm and I was sure I'd love that movie but then Timmy happened lol. I've been needing to vent about this film for like a year or two lmao so thanks for your not intended opportunity for me 😁

In any case I'm not saying others aren't also to blame and her mother definitely is the full true villain in the story, however to say carrie isnt one or to say that viewing her as one is messed up even tho she literally killed an entire school, is also just not correct, objectively she is a villain and it's not messed up to say she is but the fact that what made her victim also made her into that villain should probably be brought up as well. If anything I dont see the message as "dont fuck with people or you'll get whats coming to you" as a threat, but instead "dont fuck with people, you dont know their story and what can make them snap", not just violently but mentally, which can apply to school shooters, adults who were abused who then abuse others, and suicide victims, without excusing the harm they do if they did any

Once the flood gates in her were opened that was that...she couldn't stop what was happening. Just my two cents...😘
@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink3 жыл бұрын
This is 2 flawed cents though. She killed everyone in the town [in the book], and a lot of innocent teens died in the movie. At the end we do see what she sees which is everyone laughing at her when we know only those assholes who got what was coming to them where laughing which was like 4 people out of everyone. She then proceeded to murder everyone because of bullying when people were trying to help her. That’s like saying a school shooter was the victim because he or she was bullied... this logic doesn’t work at all. Not trying to come for you, just saying.

Carrie and Grace were not really the villains of their movies. Carrie was an outcast who had a *very* religious mother, no friends and labeled as the weird girl who happens to have psychic powers. She was already walking in the emotional tight rope with the bullying peers and the humiliation at the dance had broke the straw on the camel's back. The real villain was the blonde chick and her boyfriend. In The Others, Grace had been suffering migraines and taking care of two children who suffered from photosensitivity had stressed her mentally and psychologically. Despite being strict and overprotective, she does love her children. She mentioned that all she remembered was that she had a huge migraine and the kids were agitating it. In a sudden bout of psychosis, she smothered the kids before she realized what she had done then killed herself out of despair and guilt. There were no villains in the movie, the only ones suitable to be labeled as antagonists were the 'trespassers' aka Victor and his parents whom Grace had thought of as ghosts.

I don't think I will identify the family from It Comes At Night as a villain. I don't even think there's a villain in this story.

They try their best to help the other family and at the same time, protecting themselves. They kill the other family because they think the son is infected, while in fact it's actually their own son. I don't know how to classify them but they're certainly not villains.
