 Hi, I'm Magnus. Hi, I'm Liam and welcome to a new season of tuner. It's talking today We're covering Carrie by Stephen King because you know, it's all Shwetters, it's spooky season. Exactly. Yeah, that's why we chose the book. Definitely. Definitely. Yes. Okay What should we talk about first? Um, I don't know. What did you like about it? The book I really loved just It amazed me how that that was like Stephen King's like first Published work and it's it's so good. And it's really good It's I don't know and you can see so much of the things that he likes to do In future books on that one and I like that. Yeah, I really like this like how Effectivities of like this view of how cruel teenagers are especially teenage girls. They're like ravenous animals Yeah, like tear people apart and like you aren't really sure if it's just the nature of Like then being teenagers or if it's like Carrie like self sabotaging herself accidentally with her mind powers Yeah, creating this environment where everyone hates her. It's like Her like crazy mind powers. Yeah. Yeah, and I love how it's treated like kind of like a true crime But like not really. Yeah. Yeah, and it's written like more energetically than I think like it's written But it's like Stephen King like yeah, what did you think of the mom character because she's really interesting and like not Normally what you'd expect a kind of evangelical Yeah, like maniac to be like she's a little different She was very interesting and like just like the way that she is very much insane and abusive of her daughter It's very reflective especially at the time this book came out of like this attitude within like a very like hyper religious People and women of like just shame and so much shame that it's like driven her completely Insane to the point of her like destroying her child's life. It's almost like a warning of like like hey guys, maybe Chill out a little bit. Yeah, it's okay to accept things even like you can be like Christian religious and still Like respect other people for their beliefs and also find respect for yourself But yeah, I thought her character was very much like a cautionary tale almost. Yeah, and a very important driving force for Carey going Totally crazy insane, which not really that crazy insane Good for her Not gonna like kind of a girl boss moment Yeah, I love how like getting into the movie a little bit and we watched the The 1975 one Also directed Thanks for the paradise, which is very good. You should watch it I thought there was a lot of interesting changes just Tonally and with kind of the characters attitudes towards Kerry, especially with the PE teacher Always forget her name and carries mom. Yeah, like those specifically and just totally the movie I feel like it's a lot more melodramatic It feels way more like like I'm made for TV thriller Yeah, the book feels like this terrifying true crime story Yes And then the book feels like a lot of it feels very mean just in the way like Yeah, it's very like cynical and a little evil which I think helps with the kind of vibes and like the evil Okay, can we talk about John Travolta's casting? Oh my god. Why did they do that? Okay hot take I hate John Travolta hot take. He's the worst and he's not a good actor Why is he famous? Why? He's like his character in the book that he's playing is like so evil and like actually like a really well written character And then the movie's just like I'm doing drunk driving. Whoa John Travolta his character is so he's like the scariest part of the book Like violent and obviously just social Example of like just human evil, but it's still a great movie. Definitely. This is a great movie. No, yeah No, I feel like like it has differences from the book, but it is like Really great. I'm filled up is amazing And I think they changed the build up a little because in the movie It's much like you feel like Kerry is a lot more helpless or whatever until she gets Back and kills her mom, but in the book like I feel like it's almost on like page 30 or something where you're already like Oh, the mom's horrified and all yeah in the book You get more of an insight into Kerry's mind in this build up of hatred and just discussed with those around her And how she starts to feel how she was wronged by God, so she is God now Yeah, she's becoming God and especially with that ending It's very biblical the way that she destroys all of these people and she is God Like she's officially become God in her eyes like totally feels more like she's you know become God in the book Yeah, yeah, it's definitely has way more like kind of biblical connections and themes within the book. Okay, yeah Yeah, I think our talk is complete and you guys should definitely Read Kerry or watch the movie or do both we recommend both. It's coming up on October and Halloween It's spooky time. It's a pretty perfect book and movie to get in the spirit of like being all spooky And a great Halloween costume. Oh my god. Yes. Yeah, very in the blood if you don't mind getting messy But yeah, yeah, thanks for watching. Thank you for watching
