Is It Really That Bad?

In 1974, Stephen King’s career was launched with his debut novel (one rescued from the trash can by his wife, Tabitha), and two years later we got Brian De Palma’s iconic film adaptation that launched the career of Sissy Spacek, resurrected the career of Piper Laurie, and was so good that King prefers it over the book. It really set the stage for future adaptations of his work to be of a similarly high quality… Something which has unfortunately only rarely happened. To this day, it still remains a beloved classic.

And you know how it is with beloved horror classics: If they're good enough, you know they'll get remade. Now, the thing with remakes is that, when it comes to horror, they have as many hits as they have misses. Amazing films like The Thing, The Fly, The Blob, and The Ring all exist alongside mediocre crap like Rob Zombie’s Halloween films, the shot-for-shot Psycho remake, and the Jackie Earle Haley-starring Elm Street reboot. It really comes down to the creative vision and the story you want to tell, you know?

And Carrie is ripe for that, as the original movie cut out a lot of elements from the book that would be interesting to see in a modernized context, as bullying has evolved and even gotten harsher and more deadly over the years since Carrie was pelted with tampons in the locker room. And that’s exactly what director Kimberly Price wanted to do! She wanted to make a film that can stand on its own, a retelling of the story that wouldn’t be a remake of the film, but a different attempt at adapting the book.

The studio, however, had different ideas, and made her do a bunch of reshoots and trim 40 minutes off the film to make it more like De Palma’s version of the story. Three months prior to release the Sandy Hook shooting happened as well, which combined with the editing to turn the film into a remake pushed it back to October, and I’m sure it didn’t exactly help make the film more palatable to audiences either. While not a failure by any means, the resounding critical consensus to the film was “Why did this need to exist?” Even King himself was reportedly not much of a fan, though he did appreciate the modern updates to the story.

As time has gone on, the hate towards the film has cooled and it has picked up a fandom of its own, so I figured it was high time I gave this a watch. In honor of the film’s upcoming tenth anniversary, let’s see if the 2013 take on the iconic King story is really that bad.

THE GOOD

Across the board, I think all of the performances are really solid. Chloë Grace Moretz does a fine job as Carrie (even if, like Spacek before her, she seems a bit too pretty for the part) and Julianne Moore does a fantastic job as Margaret White to the point I might even say she’s on par with Piper Laurie. Judy Greer as Miss Desjardin might be my favorite performance in the movie, though; I just love how brutal she gets with enforcing the punishments on Carrie’s bullies, and how she doesn’t give an inch to the alpha bitch when she tries to start shit. As for Carrie’s peers, they’re all decent, but none of them strike me as very memorable. They all do a good job (even certified creep Ansel Elgort) but none of them really stand out as better than the rest. Still, there aren’t any weak performances here.

I think the finale really works better even if it is a little more over-the-top, mainly because even if it was significantly cut down compared to the original vision. We actually get to see some of Carrie’s rampage taken out into the town, and while we don’t get the full-on force of nature destruction the book gives us, we do get a pretty good taste. I think it gets a little too CGI at times (the floating knives at the end being particularly egregious) but I think it is ultimately a very satisfying take on the ultraviolent ending of the story.

I also like how the story was updated for the modern age, with cyberbullying now being a key part in how Carrie is abused by her peers. Carrie is genuinely a story I feel works much better in a modern context than in its original form. The ways bullying has evolved and become so much more horrifying in the modern age lends itself well to a story of an outcast being harassed by those around her, and her ultimate snapping feels even more justified and cathartic since the bullying she suffers is even more extreme and psychologically damaging than before. Honestly, I think this Carrie is even more sympathetic than the original; I’m not going to fault a teenager who is the victim of parental abuse and then has embarrassing videos of her spread across the internet from frying her bullies with electrical wires or blowing them up in a giant fireball. Fuck ‘em! They deserve it!

THE BAD

...Which is what I'd love to say, but real life has unfortunately made that a little harder to do. In the years since the original, there has been a very unfortunate number of incidents where people were killed in schools. School shootings weren’t really a thing in the 70s, but after Columbine it seemed like one happened every other year. In light of that, cheering while a high schooler brutally massacres her peers seems a bit… tasteless. Now obviously we as the audience are privy to all sorts of details that makes Carrie’s rage justified and her ultimate vengeance cathartic, but still, it does give me pause at least. Should I be cheering while these high school students get slaughtered like pigs? Is this not horribly fucked up? It’s an interesting moral dilemma with rooting for this killer, and while I did put this down in the “Bad” section I think being uncomfortable with what Carrie does is a valid response. I think that the fact her rampage can be viewed as either justified vengeance or as woefully disproportionate violence or even as both at once is a great strength of the story.

What isn’t a great strength, though, is how this was forced into a being a remake, because boy is it ever stuck in the original’s shadow. Moretz and Moore really end up trapped in the shadows of Spacek and Laurie’s takes on Carrie and her mother, and the whole film really just plays it straight with adapting what the original film did. It might be one of the worst studio decisions ever, because despite the strength of the cast and the overall solid quality of the filmmaking, the whole thing just feels boring. Even with the new angles and the interesting takes, the fact remains that the story and plot beats are unchanged and stuff we saw in the original film. It’s not as egregiously shot-for-shot as Van Sant’s Psycho was, but there’s not much here that justifies watching this if you’ve seen the original film.

IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?

As far as horror remakes go, this is one of the most inoffensive ones out there.

Look, I’m gonna be honest: Carrie is not even close to being my favorite King work, and the original movie isn’t one of my favorites. The book is a good debut and the movie is decent enough, but they’re not something I find myself revisiting. So even going into this movie I wasn’t expecting anything worse than what I’d already seen, and that’s basically what I got. This is a very unambitious film, though as mentioned before that was mostly by studio mandate, and thus it’s mostly more of the same—and what we got before was okay, so this ends up being okay too.

I think so much of the backlash comes from the original movie being a beloved horror classic, and thus not something that should be retried lightly. This film seriously would have benefited from more closely adapting the book and modernizing it like was originally planned rather than just rehashing the original movie with flashier effects. What we’re left here is a decent redo that lacks an identity of its own, but is still competent enough to not be the worst thing ever. If you like the movie, I can’t really fault you for it because I can understand why someone would like this much like I can with the original. Even if I’m not super fond of them, they’re decent enough movies.

I think the score is right about where it belongs, though I might be nice enough to round it up to 6. It’s a decent horror movie, and if you like it, I can’t really blame you. It has a lot of good elements going for it, and I think if it had been allowed to be an adaptation of the book I wouldn’t hesitate to call it the definitive Carrie adaptation. Bumping the good parts of It to the 80s made that story a lot better, after all! But the meddling to turn one director’s vision into a mirror image of a previous one’s vision really just holds this back a bit for me. If you want to throw this on your Halloween watchlist or add it to your Stephen King movie collection, it’s a decent addition, but it really deserved to be so much more than the reheated leftovers of De Palma.

Manhattan, Upper West Side, 1957. Against the backdrop of the decaying tenements in the San Juan Hill neighbourhood and the constant threat of the wrecking ball, two warring gangs--tough Riff's Jets and swaggering Bernardo's Puerto Rican Sharks--fight for supremacy. Now, with a once-and-for-all, winner-takes-all rumble on the cards, an unexpected whirlwind romance at the high-school dance between former Jet brawler Tony and Bernardo's delicate little sister María sets the stage for an all-out turf war. But what's a gang without its territory? Above all, when the future is uncertain, what's hope without love?

Directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award® winner Tony Kushner, “West Side Story” tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love in 1957 New York City. This reimagining of the beloved musical stars Ansel Elgort (Tony); Rachel Zegler (María); Ariana DeBose (Anita); David Alvarez (Bernardo); Mike Faist (Riff); Josh Andrés Rivera (Chino); Ana Isabelle (Rosalía); Corey Stoll (Lieutenant Schrank); Brian d’Arcy James (Officer Krupke); and Rita Moreno (as Valentina, who owns the corner store in which Tony works). Moreno – one of only three artists to be honored with Academy®, Emmy®, GRAMMY®, Tony® and Peabody Awards – also serves as one of the film’s executive producers. Bringing together the best of both Broadway and Hollywood, the film’s creative team includes Kushner, who also serves as an executive producer; Tony Award® winner Justin Peck, who choreographed the musical numbers in the film; renowned Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor and GRAMMY Award® winner Gustavo Dudamel, who helmed the recording of the iconic score; Academy Award®-nominated composer and conductor David Newman (“Anastasia”), who arranged the score; Tony Award®-winning composer Jeanine Tesori (“Fun Home,” “Thoroughly Modern Millie”), who supervised the cast on vocals; and Grammy®-nominated music supervisor Matt Sullivan (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Chicago”), who served as executive music producer for the film. The film is produced by Spielberg, Academy Award®-nominated producer Kristie Macosko Krieger and Tony Award®-winning producer Kevin McCollum. “West Side Story” has been adapted for the screen from the original 1957 Broadway show, with book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and concept, direction and choreography by Jerome Robbins.

Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort reunite and recreate iconic 'Dirty Dancing' lift#加速主义

Listen to this article0:00 / 1:481X

BeyondWords

Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort have shared the screen many times, from playing siblings in the action packed "Divergent" movies and costarring in the 2014 romantic drama "The Fault in Our Stars." The actors have teamed up again, but this time, to take on one of the most iconic dance scenes in movie history.

Woodley and Elgort reunited this week and they both took to Instagram to share some moments from their get together. Part of their time spent together was trying to reenact the Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey lift from the 1987 film, "Dirty Dancing."

Elgort shared a photo of the two's reenactment of the big lift on his Instagram with the caption "Clean dancing w Shai." The picture shows Elgort holding Woodley over his head, while her arms are outstretched, just like in the classic film.

‘FAULT IN OUR STARS’ ACTRESS SHAILENE WOODLEY EXPLAINS WHY SHE'S ALWAYS GIVING OUT BIG HUGS

[mermaidsirennikita]

I know it's hard to tell without seeing the performance but do you think Elvis would have panned out differently if Baz went with someone else from his short list; Miles Teller, Harry Styles, Aaron Taylor-Johnson?

Also Ansel Elgort but that one is pretty self explanatory.......

Yeahhhhh. I don't think Ansel has the chops--I actually thought he had a natural charisma before I knew he was a predator (lots of predators do, to be fair). But natural charisma means you can be enjoyable onscreen. It doesn't mean you're a great actor, and I think that anything less than a great performance makes Elvis a caricature because he is extremely easy to caricature. This role, imo, is actually pretty difficult to play, not just because he's one of the most recognizable American figures of the 20th century, but because Elvis isn't someone we see as human anymore. He's an icon more than he is a person.

I also don't think Harry has the experience necessary? Like, Austin Butler may have been a *working actor* not doing super serious projects for years, but that means he was working and he was learning and in some cases working with actors of a super high caliber like Denzel and Leo. Clearly, whatever he was doing paid off. I think Harry has a lot of potential (I liked him in Dunkirk, but that was obviously a small part) and I think he could be a really good actor. Lots of singers of his ilk (very flamboyant and into stage presence and audience connection) are. But he's just way too early in his acting career to make me feel like he could've done Elvis. The accent alone is hard for an American to make sound real, let alone a Brit. A lot of British actors who are otherwise super talented flop at FLAT American accents, and completely crash and burn with anything vaguely Southern; Elvis had a very specific Tennessee accent.

Miles Teller can act, but I think it would've been very difficult to make him work as the "packaged" Elvis. Like, I can see him pulling off the awkward Elvis (who Elvis actually was) but the movie was very into the idea of exploring the creation of Elvis as an icon, and Elvis as an icon was very based on sexuality (which wasn't real but felt real for his fans) and I don't know. This isn't a knock on Miles's looks, though like, obviously he's not pretty in the way Austin is or a young Elvis was--but like... The look and the vibe really do matter for Elvis. So nah.

Aaron could've, probably. Aaron is a beautiful guy who can act his ass off and has already played a famous singer with mommy issues and an extreme divide between his public persona and his personal self, and he killed it at a young age. I think Aaron would've been able to do it. Do I think Aaron could've done it as well as Austin...? That's a different issue. I don't know that anyone could've played Elvis in this movie as well as Austin.

[superbatson]

how do you feel about Austin butler as Elvis since I think you said a while ago you would’ve preferred an unknown actor to take on the role?

i love him. obviously, i have him as elvis as my icon. from what i've seen in clips and trailers so far, he does an incredible job to embody elvis. from the hair to the voice, i have no doubt he'll be great in the film and i am very excited to see his performance.

i don't entirely remember making that comment but it does sound like something i would say. i think i might have just gotten frustrated with that leaked shortlist that supposedly named the final actors in contention for the role and how i knew every single one of them. degree of support varied - i love harry styles, i was meh about ansel elgort & miles teller, i had no real feelings about austin, and i don't remember the fifth name reported (i think it was 5 names total) - but i at least knew the names. now, of course, i realize it probably wasn't a "final contenders" list but just a leaked list of name talent who tried out for the film (i heard luhrman wouldn't even let harry audition bc he didn't want someone with an already big image in the role of this icon).

now i'm honestly fine with who they cast. i mean, from that shortlist i mentioned, austin is probably the actor whose star is the smallest. yes, a lot of us are familiar with him but mostly from small roles in kids shows and movies or that one mtv series he did some years ago. he's not as big a name as the others so although he isn't unknown, he could use the career boost that this film is already giving him (he's gonna be in dune 2! that's huge!). and i might have also been skeptical of his singing abilities bc i knew the others had some musical talents (i don't remember knowing about miles but now i see he sang for the new top gun so i guess he's decent), but again, i've since realized he was perfectly cast. he doesn't have to be an amazing singer, he just has to replicate elvis' voice, and so far he's done that perfectly. so i cannot wait to see him in the film.

(maybe i also just pushed for an unknown bc of that guy, drake milligan, from the CMT show i'd watched some of, sun records. bc he's definitely got that elvis voice down and is not well-known, but eh, it wasn't meant to be i guess. hope he sees success on AGT, lol)

Tarantino: "West Side Story" Deserved the Oscar

Yo, movie buffs! Remember the 2022 Oscars? Yeah, the one with the slap heard 'round the world? Well, amidst all the drama, there was another story that flew under the radar: Quentin Tarantino's major beef with the Academy Awards. More specifically, his gripe with their decision to overlook Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story". Wait, what? Why the shade towards Spielberg? It all boils down to Tarantino's love for the "real deal." He famously avoids watching new movies, preferring to stick to the classics. But he made an exception for "West Side Story" and "Top Gun: Maverick," and let's just say, he wasn't shy about sharing his thoughts. In a recent interview, Tarantino didn't hold back. He called "West Side Story" "the best movie of 2021" and declared that it "should have won the Oscar" (with a few choice words we can't repeat here). He even went on to praise the film's lead actor, Ansel Elgort, claiming he deserved the Best Actor award. Whoa, that's harsh. Did Spielberg take it personally? Nah, these two are industry legends, and a little friendly competition never hurt anyone. In fact, Spielberg probably just chuckled and said, "Hold my Walkie-Talkie," referencing his iconic "Top Gun" directing gig. For Tarantino, it wasn't just about the film itself (although he clearly loved it). He's a big believer in honoring the spirit of cinema, and "West Side Story" represents a classic Hollywood musical brought to life with modern filmmaking techniques. It's the kind of movie he admires and wants to see more of. But wasn't there already a "West Side Story" movie? Yep, there was the 1961 version, which itself was based on a stage play. But Tarantino is a sucker for a good remake, as long as it's done right. He believes Spielberg paid homage to the original while adding his own unique touch, creating a film that resonates with audiences today. It's a reminder that even the biggest names in Hollywood can have strong opinions (and sometimes express them colorfully). It also highlights the ongoing debate about the importance of originality versus honoring cinematic traditions. Ultimately, whether you agree with Tarantino or not, his passion for film is undeniable, and that's something we can all appreciate.
