"Joker's Soul 2"
"It" is adapted from Stephen King's novel of the same name, and the director is divided into two parts to shoot. The 17-year-old "Joker's Soul" broke various records and won 700 million US dollars. This year, "Joker's Soul 2" came back. The once-in-27-year clown is back.
The arrival of this sequel has given our audience a complete "IT" story about fear and growth, and the investment in the sequel has been increased from 35 million to 70 million, and there is also the blessing of Yimei and model worker sisters. It can be said that we are full of expectations.
"The Clown's Soul" can be regarded as a typical youth youth film. This style is also very innovative. "The Clown's Soul 2" can be said to be an upgrade, from youth to growth and reconciliation. Let's briefly talk about this movie.
("Fears, Experiences, Growth, Waste and Friends")
The sequel of "IT" is 2 hours and 49 minutes. It can be said that this time is very long for a horror film. If the first part is added, it may have exceeded 5 hours. The theme of this series is "How to face the grow out of fear".
We all have fear in our hearts. What matters is not how the fear is formed, but how we experience it, face it, and finally overcome it.
In the movie, Bill and his group of children have their own fears since childhood, such as a missing brother, a perverted father, a burning family, cleanliness and lepers, etc.
In the movie, they are dominated by fear and shadow again and again in reality and in fantasy, and finally they make concerted efforts to temporarily retire the clown. After 27 years, it will come back. At times, some people are afraid of choosing to commit suicide, and these 27 years have destroyed the memories and emotions of this group of friends. They gradually put on a hazy veil on each other.
With the promotion of the plot, they regained their self and the courage they once had, gained mutual trust, and even a timid Eddie stood up and sacrificed himself. To be honest, this friendship is quite sentimental, if you think about it, you still Can it bring you together from very young playmates or school buddies? Can you trust each other? I think it should not be.
Penny is composed of "death light" hundreds of years ago. It "hoards food" for itself once in 27 years. It feeds on the fear of human beings, and it uses the weakness of human nature to kill.
As a horror film with hidden social metaphors and growth themes, it can be said to be a relatively good work, but does the film have any shortcomings? have!
("It's back! Does it have to come back?!)
To be honest, the sequel of "IT" is really bad compared to the first one, because the whole sequel has been "repeating"!
The theme and story of the movie are repeating. I thought the director would use nearly three hours to tell a very full story and characters and sublimate the "growth and fear theme" from the first film to a higher level. But no!
Although the time is long enough to explain everyone in more detail, the director obviously only wanted to put the characters in an independent space to increase the sense of shock and did not make us feel the depth of the characters. "But in the process, it's really "just looking for a token"...there's nothing flashy about it.
Fright and special effects are repeating. The reason I think the first film is good is because the cost is only 35 million and the special effects of the whole film are not small, but the director let us see that very advanced special effects are not cheap and have unrestrained imagination as a whole. The texture is great!
Although the special effects of this film did not take off, there is nothing new in the imagination and frightening scenes. The only thing is to clone the first part. The setting from the character ordering is from the beginning to the end, including the mouth escape at the end and defeating it in the same way. Joker, makes me feel like the sequel is redundant... can't you beat it this way for the first one? ! .. oh... so the original has a follow-up story...
In conclusion, if I give a 6.5 rating to the movie, the overall quality generally does not give much space for the story, and the overall story can be shortened to less than 2 hours without being as long as it is drawn. If you are a horror movie lover, you can watch it, but you must expect it lower.
