Carrie

Carrie (1976)

I'm watching Carrie now and Tommy and Carrie have just been elected Prom King and Queen. The scenes that come before this make me think about the sequel Carrie 2: The Rage. The scenes where Tommy and Carrie dance and Tommy and Carrie sit at the table and talk are so sad and heartbreaking. Did the makers of the sequel watch the original? Didn't they feel anything, and if they did why wouldn't they want to create a movie that would make viewers feel something?

I'm not crazy about Carrie. It's just too sad. But it's good. For a movie aimed at teenagers it's very good.
