.This film is nearly 3 hours long . Because I am used to watching horror movies late at night, and I don't care about the length of time, it is almost two in the morning after watching the movie... I am really sleepy and tired after seeing the later stage...
2. To be honest, I didn't find the first part of "The Clown Returns" particularly amazing, but at least the atmosphere was rendered in place, the world view was clearly explained, and the story line was smooth. But it turns out that the worldview of many horror films is not worthy of deep promotion. I didn't expect that one day, the IP of popular foreign horror films would use the same routine with our "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Meteorites, dreams, split personality and magnetic field influences seem to be the all-purpose crater of horror and suspense = =
3. "The Clown's Soul 2" itself can be seen as a supplement and refinement to the first part, but unfortunately it did not play the role of expanding the universe like "The Conjuring 2", but failed again and again, and it ended. A large number of plots involve the first plot, but they are not clearly explained. Although it is a series of movies, as a movie, I think it is the most basic to allow audiences who do not know the background to quickly integrate into the plot. Otherwise, the viewing group will only become less and less, and the audience who only watch the second part will have a bad impression. If you really can't do it, it's better to name it "The Clown Returns to the Soul" and "The Clown Returns to the Soul".
4. Speaking of the plot, I really doubt the director's attitude towards homosexuality? You said that he shot a couple of loving gay men inexplicably at the beginning of the show, with an honest image, a loving husband and wife, and also taking care of other people's emotions. He gave the won doll to the little sister beside him, as if he was affirming this group. But then he was violently beaten, cursed by a group of gangsters, and finally thrown into the river separately, and finally got ashore and was shredded by a clown... corpse... corpse... ...
And the Ricky clip at the back, because she looks like a pussy? Being slammed by gangsters for sexual orientation and being deeply humiliated, it makes people feel that the director seems to have a strong anti-gay tendency...
Of course, it can also be explained if you say that the director is showing the difficult survival situation of homosexuality in society.
But I feel that homosexuality is a sensitive topic after all, whether it is for or against it, it will be criticized by some people, not to mention that in this film whose plot is not necessarily related to homosexuality, it touches the sensitive topic for no reason. And the statement is ambiguous, is it really not intentional to be hacked?
5. Finally talking about the protagonist "Clown", I have to say that the clown setting of the second part is a big failure.
①Origin: This film explains that the clown is actually an alien species that came to the earth from space millions of years ago? Anyway, it's an alien magical thing~ the kind that humans can't explain~~ Of course, this statement here can be compared with the first part, the aliens come from the fear in the human heart and the dark and strong species...
Immediately afterwards, the picture accompanying the origin of the clown in the movie is similar to the three-headed dragon fighting the Indian natives. This is not a clown who lives in the sewers and eats people quietly, but a big monster who can beat Ultraman with one foot! ! !
What's even more speechless is that the way to defeat this monster is for everyone to find their own token, throw it into the god jar and burn it, then hold hands and recite the spell...
I just want to ask... If clowns can turn into giant monsters and eat one from the left and swallow one from the other, where did the native Indians get the token? ? Besides, where did the sealed spell come from? ? Why didn't the big monster attack them when they held hands and did the ritual? ?
Well, the previous legends don't need to be explained in such detail, so why can't big monsters only become clowns now? Why can the big monster only eat people quietly? Why didn't Pennywise become the body of an alien creature instead of being eaten?
It can only be said that the explanation of this panacea did not make the appearance of the clown rationalized, on the contrary, there were too many inconsistencies, and the more the explanation, the more chaotic.
②Character: The clown in this movie really shouldn't be too bullying and afraid of being tough! !
The first Joker was still the ogre that I ate no matter whether it was good or bad, and in the second, not only did the kidnappers who were captured be returned unscathed? ? ? You even handed a knife to the boss? And help the big guy escape from prison? ? Give the boss a car? ? ?
③Ending: The ending of the second part really felt perfunctory...
The plot is very simple. The protagonists arrived at the clown's lair. They failed to seal the clown according to the Indian ritual. During the period, they were chased and killed by the clown. In the end, they attacked the clown with their mouths to make them weak, and then pulled out the clown's heart and pinched it. Happy ending~~~
Mouth escape? ? ?
I chatted with my friends about Hokage before, and I was still talking about such a good material that was finally lost. I didn't expect to see a stronger mouth in "The Clown's Soul 2" in the blink of an eye! !
So students, it is really important to practice eloquence! ! ! You see, even if the clown can be ever-changing, can know every little secret in your heart, can pause time and space, and can bite off someone's head at will, so what? ? In the end, it wasn't that he was powerless under the attack of Mouthdun!
So verbal violence is the purest form of violence! Here I also admire the little details of the director. When our invincible small mouth gun Ricky was preparing to attack for the first time, the clown used the light of death for defense. There is at least one round trip here.
So in the end, the clown is not something that needs courage and unity to defeat. It only needs to be like a little gangster when you encounter it ! Or use the most extreme mouth to scold it to death!
In this way, what this film expresses is that "evil" can only be eliminated by "more evil"... Haha~
