Carrie
We watched the movie, Carrie. For homework you will do a general analysis of the movie where you will answer the following questions:
- Comment on the various cinematic elements in the movie. What role does lighting, color, camera angles, and sound play in the story? It's okay if you don't know the technical terms. Talk about them to the best of your ability.
- What are some of the themes present in the film?
- Carrie is a horror movie that defies the genre because it blurs the lines between the victims and the monsters. Who are the monsters in this film? Why do you think so? Refer to specific scenes in the movie.
- What are some recurring images or ideas in the film? What do you think these images or ideas symbolize?
- Choose a character other than Carrie. Examine that character's personality and motives and the purpose they serve to the rest of the plot.
- What are some criticisms you have of the film?
