Carrie

          In my English class we are supposed to read a book a quarter and then write about it. This quarter I read Carrie, a famous book by Stephen King. After reading this book and picturing it in my mind, I decided to watch the movie so I could see how they would put this into a film. I choose to watch the 2013 version instead of the older one because I felt it would be more understandable for me since I live more in todays technology. I also heard that the 2013 version was a lot less creepy and I am not much of a fan of creepy movies. This movie was about a unique teenage girls high school experience as she deals with bullies and her insane mother.
          I really enjoyed the movie because of its plot. It really kept me entertained and wanted to see the end of the movie. At the end of the movie when Carrie kills everyone the special effects didn't look very real to me though which was a real damper on the movie. It was like we finally got to the big ending where it gets intense and the bloody scenes reminded me that this was just a movie. I guess this is good for people that get scared easily but its just a real damper.
          When watching this movie there were a lot of shots that I really enjoyed. For example when they first introduce the closet that Carrie's mother locks her in. All of the shots in this closet are very different in looking up and around the closet. I remember the way that they shots were made me feel scared about the situation. It really put myself in Carrie's shoes.
