    The 11.1 version is really pretty, and it was shot exactly according to the book, but I still didn't shoot the children's group p, and I didn't discuss the origin of the clown too much. In fact, neither of them need to be filmed. Needless to say, the former is too grand, and whether it is told or not has much impact on the story itself. Speaking of it in the book, I still find it a little cool to see it.
