Carrie

I have been wanting to delve into the classics lately, but have only gotten into classic movies I haven't seen.

Yesterday, Shusli asked if I had seen "Carrie," the classic movie based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. My answer was "no," of course.

We watched it last night, and the story and the cinematography was quite good. The beauty of the body, how folks can go insane... Great acting.

What caught me was the energy of the mother, played by Piper Laurie. The character just fundamental and psycho about her religion giving it no context into the outside world and used to justify her insanity and self-hatred.

Great film! If you haven't seen it like I hadn't, I suggest you do. Stephen King is an excellent writer and there have been many excellent movies made of his stuff, and a handful of pieces of shit. It is amazing to believe he has been writing since I was a kid
