When the prank happened, Sue had been dating Tommy Ross for six months. It is implied that Sue only acted under peer pressure, being one of popular girl Chris Hargensen's friends and therefore under the pressure of Chris to be popular. When Carrie breaks down emotionally after having her first period in the shower, unaware of what menstruation is, Sue joins her classmates in gleefully taunting her and pelting her with tampons, repeatedly chanting, "Plug it up!" Their gym teacher, Rita Desjardin, who broke up the incident and calmed the panicking Carrie down, says that Sue is not a bully by nature and therefore her participation in the shower incident is out of character. Sue is a popular student at Ewen High School. In the novel, King uses commentaries by Sue Snell as one of his innovative narrative techniques to tell Carrie's history. Sue also appears in the 1999 film sequel, The Rage: Carrie 2, played by Amy Irving reprising her role from the 1976 film version of King's novel. The disaster that takes place at the high school prom is set in place when Tommy accepts. In this, she has been described as the " godmother" in King's "dark modernization of Cinderella".
She asks Tommy to do her a favor and take Carrie to the prom in an attempt to make Carrie feel accepted and to ease her own conscience. After tormenting Carrie White in the locker room, Sue begins to feel remorse for her actions. She is a popular teenage girl dating Tommy Ross. Snell is a fictional character created by American author Stephen King in his first published 1974 horror novel, Carrie. Autobiographer (at the end of the novel)Įleanor Snell (mother name in 1976 film).Writing, Writing, More Writing, and Collaborating!.WordPress Fail, dozens of comments went to the spam folder! Apologizes to those I never answered!!.So beware of who you pick on, there’s a little “Carrie” in all of us! Or at least there should be. I highly recommend - especially to bullies because telekinesis is more common than you would think. Oh, and there’s plenty of gore and blood - menstruation blood, blood from knife wounds and of course pig blood (but it’s noted that no animals were harmed during this motion picture).Īnd of all the Carries, Chloe Grace Moretz does not go down without a fight - a big one … in fact, so big she’s almost Godzilla-like in the final scenes - as the audience cheers her on! Carrie is definitely an iconic hero in this flick. “Carrie” also illustrates the truth in that teachers are not always perfect, parents will often defend their little darlings no matter how wrong they are, and as annoying as text messaging is - there is tenderness in a few simple words, as we learn that Tommy Ross, played by Ansel Elgort is sincere in pursuing a friendship with Carrie by taking her to the prom (what you never really learned in the original, as you always second guessed - something I always hated about the original) and double kudos in showing via text message, even though Tommy Ross thinks Carrie is beautiful, he is still loyal to his girlfriend - a special sweet brief moment that makes the “good guys” (Carrie, Tommy and Sue Snell, played by Gabriella Wilde) all the more endearing. Not to mention, she’s absolutely precious, so you truly feel sorry for all she deals with.Ī bully is always a bully, but in this modern version of Carrie they take it to the next tragic level of harassment with Smart Phone uploads. She sasses her religious fanatic mom Margaret White, played brilliantly by Julianne Moore, she’s on to her bully classmates questioning their motives and she grows as a person throughout the movie. She’s sweet, smart, and best of all - empowered. Sometimes we purists don’t like our originals to be tainted, but with modern twists it’s proven that you can perfect perfection.Ĭhloe Grace Moretz plays a perfect 21st Century Carrie. Loved each and every one, including the newest release, “Carrie.” I saw it last night and was major impressed.
#GABRIELLA WILDE CARRIE 2013 MOVIE#
I read the book by Stephen King (before the original movie came out in 1976) and saw all the movies. (Check out my blog from April, “Carrie On!” ) As I blogged earlier this year, I am a huge “Carrie” fan.
