Amazing!
The original novel is very long, starting from each person's story, mixed with countless psychological descriptions and memory fragments, the plot line is extremely difficult to grasp, and it is even more difficult to make a movie.
And this film did it, showing everyone's story almost perfectly.
The 17-year-old "Joker's Soul 1" was poorly shot, and the plot jumped dramatically, and it came to the end inexplicably. However, if you watch it together with the upper and lower parts of "Joker's Soul 2", it becomes a complete amazing viewing experience. In "Joker's Soul 2", all the missing parts of the first part are made up, and the original work is perfectly respected.
Everyone forgets about their childhood, everyone gets successful careers and lives, the rewards that once fought off the Joker at the cost of being doomed to face the Joker again 27 years later.
To face the clown and death, they must unite.
During this period, they were suspicious of each other, quarreling, and finally united in the clown's nest and discovered the clown's weakness.
The process is ups and downs, everyone's shadows from childhood have been dug out, Ben has been bullied since childhood and has always been a lonely person, Bev was abused by his father, Eddie was overly spoiled by his mother and lacked self-confidence, Rich was discriminated against because of homosexuality, Black Mike watched his parents burn to death.
There is also Bill who refused to accompany his brother out to play because of his illness and bad mood, causing his brother to die tragically under the clown's hands. It wasn't his fault, but remorse followed him like a maggot in the tarsus.
These shadows are like clowns, or rather clowns, and one day they have to look back and overcome their fears before they can have a new future.
Eventually they did.
In the face of the clown, Bill became a useless leader again, and the stuttering problem also followed; Bev became a brave and courageous girl again; Ben's love for Bev made him desperately join the useless, this kind of obsession He is the most powerful of the vapers; Eddie has turned back into a sick child suppressed by his mother; Ricky has become a brave boy who babbles again, the most courageous of the vapers, even when his life is at stake. write.
When the clowns are gone, so are their greatest childhood fears.
At the end of the film, a few people stood in front of the window, as if they saw the seven children of that year again, holding hands in waist-deep water, promising to say: If it reappears, we will come back and kill it.
Highly recommend to anyone who likes the original.
