So I learned that Piper Laurie (Carrie's Mom) didn't realize that this was a horror movie. She thought it was more a satire movie so she really played up the scary religious aspect.
Carrie taught me not to make fun of The quiet kids
My Nana sat me down with Stephen King, ... books, movies, back in the 1980's, using them to teach me about, well, life... good, bad, and ugly ...
Homeschooled Gen X-er checking in here...LOL I had some guilt over sympathizing with Carrie so much.
Carrie desperately trying to win back her mommy's love and approval even as they are just mauling each other broke my heart more than scared me. Of course the mother's manipulation rang a bell (to a much lesser extent). "It's YOUR fault this bad thing happened. If you had done what *I* said you wouldn't be in this situation."
I barely even noticed the split screen...I'm so drawn into those EYES. Carrie is a baby goddess learning to walk there.
I'm getting the idea your homeschooling environment would have taught you that Margaret was the good guy...
I seen the movie with my parents in a Drive-in Triple horror night movie event. Gen X were able to see horror movies, as long as you was with an adult. My mom was a big King fan!
I like the whole "Gen x Gen z" thing. I was kinda expecting a review of both the original and the remake. Yes I know the remake is inferior, but it still has some redeeming qualities to it.
I actually liked both the remakes.Especially the alternate ending where Carrie survives and Sue helps her go into hiding and start a new life.
The scariest part is Carrie's arm coming out of the grave! I jumped ten feet!
Hahahaha this reminds me when my gen z nephew wanted to show me “misery” …and i was like “come on, Misery is MY generation….and We had the BEST time watching it together!
Misery is awesome, it's one of those movies that escapes time.
The film Carrie has helped me to become more compassionate with people who are lonely or who seem a bit strange. I can't fix them but I can be a kind gentle face and voice in a sea of cruel mean-spirited ones. It is a very painful to be made to feel "othered". My father taught me everyone has a story and a wise person listens and learns because everyone is special. Diamonds are not rare but genuine kindness is. This old world would be a much better place with more kindness with wisdom.
Very true :)
Tommy was probably just knocked out and died in the fire.
She's not making them laugh, she's imagining them laughing bc of what her mother said.
The split screen along with the music is a better way to show the connection with her and the Carnage. How can you not like the split screen?!
It takes long before the bucket falls is to increase the suspense.
Your younger generation always wants immediate gratification.
I was 10 when my mom took me to "Carrie" at the drive in and the jump scare made a big impression on me, it's the first scene that was actually scary to me. The only other movie scene to make that big of a comparison is Ralphie at the window in "Salem's Lot".
Thank you! I came here to say all of these things lol. I've never watched this channel and I'm Gen X but I have no idea which Bradford is the Gen X based on their comments.
By that point in the movie, we understand Carrie has TK, so I don't think showing her whipping her head around and bugging her eyes out really adds anything. Seeing the firehoses dancing around and the doors shutting by themselves is plenty to convey that Carrie is doing it. And suspense doesn't just mean slowing shit down so you're waiting longer for shit to happen. Suspense is you're waiting for the jump scare, you know it's coming, you just don't know when, and all of a sudden the characters turns around and comes face to face with a perfectly harmless thing, and just when you've been lulled into a false sense of security, someone loses their head.
I’m a millennial (turning 29 this September, holy crap 😮XD) and read the book in high school. As someone who was the butt of quite a lot of jokes, I identified with Carrie a lot. I do wish the movies stuck to her book appearance! She’s supposed to look like Despair in Netflix’s ‘Sandman’! But the movie was overall good, especially with the tension building right before the bucket tips over.
Great to see you doing this with your son!
Good luck watching ‘Salem’s Lot’. I tried to watch it with my husband, but we found it incredibly dull.
Have a nice day!
29 in December here!
I agree with salems lot book and mini series had me falling asleep honestly
Great concept. I'll be looking forward to the next videos.
What an interesting idea! Especially with Carrie. As we Gen X-ers are totally down with Carrie’s revenge, at least against her bullies. But now with school gun violence being so prevalent in our lives (in the US), I can see Gen Z-ers seeing it from a completely different perspective.
I'm gen X. I agree that the mom is the most scary in the movie. Her scenes are the most disturbing to me.
I made it! Love this channel!
So can we call this...The Bradford Exchange? Ill let myself out.
A great start!
Can't wait to see #2!
the heist music over the Carrie split scenes was hilarious. now every time i see these scenes, i will hear that music!🤣
~gen xer
The scene of Margaret White pacing back and forth with the knife......(shudder)
This was AMAZING please do more of these, but something more consolidated. Perhaps a review of Sleeping Beauties, or In the tall grass, etc.
Margaret White is posed more like St Sebastian in death...Also, could you do a mechanics guide to Christine or better yet, a Popular Mechanic or hot rod magazine interview with the creepy old man who sold Arnie Christine in the first place. At some point in the article he should utter that ever so classy line "Smells Like Pussy"....actually, that should be the title of the article and the magazine itself should be an uber hipster Death Car zine from the '90s called L'il Bastard....This suggestion is my Gen Xer contribution because we had alt-culture zines back then instead of UA-cam channels. My friend Tyler ran one called Tantrum.
stylisticly, it's very similar to the films "dressed to kill" , "body double" and "blowout" and even "raising cain" with the musical stngers punctuating action, and even some of the shots remind me of "carrie". his movies have always been pretty popular, so he's obviously tapping into something.
Aww Spooky Time! Hasn't GenX (me) seen all of these already? Of course she thinks t hey're laughing because she keeps hearing "they're all going to laugh at you!" And she wasn't making them laugh. It would flash back and forth between the laughing and not laughing.
The use of the violins was a very intentional nod to "Psycho," according to a making-of documentary I watched on my DVD copy of "Carrie,"
Weirdly that heist music over the split screen scenes actually works!
Okay, I think that I am going to like this one!
Carrie is probably one of the scariest books and movies Stephen King has got out there because sometimes the scariest things are stuff that can happen in real life I'm not talking about the telekinesis stuff I'm talking about the deaths of what somebody would do for revenge. All because she couldn't go to prom because she couldn't accept her punishment. John Travolta's character Billy and his friends they did the pig's blood thing for the fuck of it. That girl John Travolta's girlfriend I can't think of that character's name her friends took part in it for the fuck of it but she did it for revenge.
Sorry her name is criss and what she did for revenge against Carrie makes the book and movies one of the scariest Stephen King tails!
Finally found the right button to become a member of this awesome club. And I didn’t even have to kill a baby in a cornfield, yay! I must say that you and your son looks nothing alike, but you sound the same. Thanks for a good show Bradford and Bradford!
LOL, thanks so much for joining as a member!
Oh, I love this movie to the moon and back.
I was a bullied kid and teen. Horribly so. When I first saw Carrie (around 11), I sympathized with her *so much* and couldn't wait for her to get her bloody revenge on her tormenters. Embarrassingly, I spent hours in the classroom staring at my bullies and trying desperately to telekinetically get the fluorescent lights to fall on them and cut them to ribbons, or at least make their heads explode. I even had a "hit list." (Jesus, today I'd be on some kind of watch list, but no one took bullying seriously in the 1970s).
I still can't watch the final jump scare without peeking through my fingers! The horrible change in music from the soft, 70s instrumental to that horrible off-key clanging coupled with the sudden switch to night is so ghastly that at first you don't even notice Carrie's hand comes rather slowly out of the grave.
Oh, the creepy figure in Carrie's prayer closet isn't Jesus, it's St. Sebastian, who was martyred in the 4th century by being tied to a tree and having arrows shot into his head.
I believe the statue in her closet is supposed to be St. Sebastian, not Jesus Christ.
The remake was ok. They really watered it down though and the ABSOLUTE worst part was when Carrie starts using her powers at prom and she(Chloe Grace Moretz) is using her hands like a superhero or some crap. I literally started laughing because it was so bad. The original is one of my all time favorites and one of the movies that really got me into the horror genre when i was a teen..
This was the O.G. “Akira situation” before Akira was even around.
No, I don't think the make-up had much to do with Carrie's actress (can't spell her last name) actually looking the part of a high school student.
I've seen her in at least one other film where she played a teen character, and she pulled it off just as well then, too. I don't see why the make-up crew would consistently do just as good of a job making her look like a teenager each time, but not do the same with other actors.
Some people just naturally look young. I'm forty-five now, and could have passed for ten years younger up until recently when the grey really started appearing in my hair. My face still looks quite young even now.
Bradford 2 hoping Bradford 1 won't ask him if he related to Carrie because of his mom lmfao
Fun Fact: Brian De Palma had Sissy Spacek walk backwards and ran the film forwards for her walk home from the prom to add to the eeriness.
I thought that was Amy Irving (Sue) when she walked toward (actually backwards) 'Carrie's grave'.
In the book, Carrie was described as overweight. Hence why Chris wanting to use pigs blood is more symbolic.
Bradford and Bradford? What a pear!
Brb, changing my lord saviors batteries
LOL!
How did I miss this? Boo!
I just loved this video!
BTW, where could I find that image of Roland staring at the Dark Tower?
I would love to have it printed, framed and hanging on my wall.
This is an original work by Michael Whelan. It's actually only the bottom half of the painting, you can find the entire piece on his website. It's gorgeous, but then all of his work is. It's called The Long Road and was produced for the art book Knowing Darkness: Artists Inspired By Stephen King. He sold prints but they are sold out.
@@waymire01 , thank you so much for the information!
Thanks @waywire01 Michael Whelan's work is amazing!
Hahaha I just found out a had a great aunt named Carrie and word is, she wasn’t very nice at all then to top it off, I’ve been told by family members, I resemble her.😂😂😂
My opinion is that Tommy died when the bucket hit him on the head. This movie was great. This is from a late Boomer point of view. I wanted the bad kids to get their comeuppance, but felt sorry for the others who weren't bad people. I think Carrie snapped and hallucinated everyone laughing.
Yes, I think Tommy is fatally injured and bleed to death before the fires rage... and in the movie, the cinematography definitely makes it seem like Carrie is imagining the audience laughter.
❤️
You left out Christine!!
Oh yeah... So many cool little behind the scenes tidbits :)
In the book she just returned home to kill her mom and go do more damage
My wife until the day she died called her boobs her "dirty pillows"
LOL!
I screwed this up... sorry....
Could have done without the homeschool slamfest. Seemed completely out of left field as well since it had nothing to do with this movie.
Sorry if it seemed like a slam -- My wife and I homeschooled our kids and our family had an amazing experience... I think Bradford Z (a homeschool kid now 22 years old) just found some amusing personal observations related the film's characters. :)
Why are homeschoolers so defensive of any criticism, real or perceived?
@@jencendiary Probably depends on the homeschool family. For us, we lived in a very homeschool-friendly community, that offered a wide variety of ways to homeschool. But there are other states in the U.S. that make it VERY difficult to choose homeschooling as an option -- and so I'm guessing that a lot of people who might be defensive have probably grown tired of having to fight for their choice to homeschool to neighbors, extended family members, and even the government. That said, I think it's a good sign if we can laugh at ourselves, which is why I kept Bradford Z's commentary in the video, and added my own joke about Carrie's Mom thinking Dinosaurs don't exist. I've met creationists (some homeschool, some public schooled) who have made that claim, and that seemed like something Margaret White might say as well.
