Adaptational Modesty: In the '13 version, Carrie is covered up by a towel during the shower scene due to Chloe Moretz being underage.Adaptational Heroism: Both the '76 and '02 versions of Carrie ( especially the '02 version) hold less rage and vengeful fantasies inside of them prior to their breakdown, and the breakdown itself is portrayed as them being in something of a trance rather than fully conscious and culpable in their actions.Aside from being more adept in using her powers, she is more ruthless in punishing her tormentors.

Adaptational Badass: In the 2013 version.Tommy actually thinks she's beautiful when he picks her up for the prom. However, the book's description is given as she is looking in a mirror at her own face, so the written portrayal could be interpreted as how she sees herself at that moment, in which case her flaws are being exaggerated (as teenagers in Real Life are fairly prone to doing), whereas most might actually see her as rather pretty. Among the actresses who have played her are Sissy Spacek and Chloë Grace Moretz. Adaptational Attractiveness: In the book, she is portrayed as being rather pudgy and covered in acne.Instead, the thing that sets off her mini-freak out in his office is having her mother informed of the shower incident. The principal only gets her name wrong once, and remembers it after he's corrected. Morton: We're really sorry about this incident, Cassie.Ĭarrie: IT'S CARRIE! (With her mind, she knocks the ashtray off the table)
