This movie was terrible and a disgrace to the original

Movie wasn't half as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It had Katharine Isabelle, Emilie de Ravin and Patricia Clarkson so I rest my case. If you didn't at least enjoy the plot I'm sure you enjoyed the shower scene with Emilie and Katharine ;) Also I thought Patricia did very well as the mom.

I think this is most likely one of my favourite films of Katharine's, simply because she was absolutely gorgeous. I think it was somethin to do with the filming technique, the soft edges and the apparent glowing of the skin. You gotta admit that it was a very pretty film and very interestingnly done. As there was a sharp colour contrast at certain points, albeit subtle. Just look at Carrie's home. It was probably one of the sharpest sets, vivid with harsh colours. Devoid of any of the glowy edges and glowing colours.

I think it got across the point that Carrie lived in her own little world, the soft edges and blurred glowing skin. She too glowed and yet she wasn't even gorgeous. So are we merely seeing a projection of the entire film of what is in her head?? Or are we truly third person.

I personally think we are seeing the entire movie via Carrie's perspective via her head. It would account for the interesting aspects of the cinematography. You have to have little expectations for TV films they aren't meant to be taken as seriously as big budget or even independant films. They need to be appreciated for what they are and judged alone on their own merrits.

Of curse this film will never live up to the original movie, the upcoming remake or the Novel. They should all be looked at as individual pieces of art. I personally enjoy this remake just for the acting of some of my favourites such as Emilie & Katharine. They are the reasons why I watched it and bought it. I also enjoyed it for it's more natural make-up scheme of the actresses. It was a nice change to see the natural faces of the talent vs the more precise make up of the main stream movies. I get so tired of constantly seeing such made up faces on movies. It was nice to see such a back to basic premise.

It wasn´t a happy ending. It was just a better ending but still harm has been done nad will haunt everyone, including Carrie (or especially Carrie, since she is willn have to hide for the rest of her life).

I liked this ending much better than the 'arm out of the grave' nonsense.

So since the ending is the same as book, the rest of the film can be completely different? Because the 1976 version had almost nothing to do with the novel.

Do a favor to the world and kill yourself you biased hypocrite.
