Adults face fear too

I haven't been to the cinema for a long time. I like this horror movie with a duration of nearly three hours.

This is a complete and careful story, from the beginning of revisiting the promises of the little protagonists in the previous season when they left, to the beginning of the IT return accident, Mike called all the friends, introduced everyone's current professional background and living environment, and reunited. The post-reaction and the situation that IT is designed for each person - the first half points very clearly to the meaning of IT, that is, the psychological shadow of each person: perverted father, being laughed at for fat or excluded, the pain of losing a brother, the fear of disease , the shadow of the fire escape; the second half is the process of confronting the fear, thinking that the ritual will work, but the result is not possible, the protagonists are stunned and shocked by isolation again, and then the reunion says "you're" to the clown. Just a clown forced IT back to its original shape, crushed his heart, and completely ended the fear in his heart.

Protagonist Acting Online

Seeing Yimei felt a little kindness in her heart, in addition to that, every leading actor contributed sincere acting skills. The protagonist has a distinct personality, a stuttering writer, a risk manager, a reckless wife of a rich man, a talk show actor, an architect, and finally a rigorous scholar. Yimei stutters but is very emotional. She lives in the guilt of killing her younger brother and can't extricate herself. When she sees the death of a similar boy, she does not care for herself. The risk manager's own fear is health risk. Overcoming IT, the next time you are in a wooden house, you will be dumbfounded when your partner is killed; Belvery will always be the bravest and most rational, with a fighting spirit. The actors have firm eyes, and the adult actresses have crisp lines on the sides; the talk show actors who hide their gay tendencies and the risk manager have contributed the most cold humor and hot speeches in the play; the architect was obese in childhood and was bullied. I like Belvery but I can’t tell you. Later, I became a model of late bloomer who has a successful career and an online body. His silent personality and handsome appearance are really the heart of the film. role of thinking.

set with heart

The characters in adulthood are all elites with successful careers, but they still have the characteristics of childhood, dressed casually, casually throwing jokes, everyone has the atmosphere and nature after rich experience; switching to childhood is the eighties and nineties of the last century. Vintage retro, small floral and highly saturated shirts, thick-rimmed glasses, and old bicycles. Personally, I like the setting and dressing of age very much: thirty or forty years old, it is the age when you have a successful career, the world of flowers has been involved, and you want to think about your heart. And IT chose the real fear of the heart as the core. At this point in time, it is natural to match this entry point. All the actors I took are also of the right age, and they are stylish. Every day, ordinary shirts and jeans are still too bright.

The process of facing fear

IT refers to the most repeated inner torment of fear. Everyone in the film experienced two waves of attacks: the first wave was when they split up to find things related to their personal fears. For the first time, everyone’s fear situation was clearly and directionally presented. Existence; the second wave is that the clown's form became bigger and stronger after the ritual failure, everyone fled separately, and the IT attacked separately again after isolation. It is foreseeable that everyone vented to defeat the illusion. I especially like Belvery's boldness in kicking the goal, and Bill admits that lie indirectly caused his brother's death, but it is unreasonable to blame himself for the error.

This is a process of facing the fear from shallow to deep: walk away, convince yourself to ignore the fear -> think that there is an easy way to eliminate the fear -> know that you must fight it head-on, remember bravely, strengthen cognition, and finally overcome the fear. From the first time the six of them reunited in a Chinese restaurant, a plate of fortune cookies that mutated and ran around together with the luxurious Chinese decoration, to the occasional cold humor in the face of the IT journey, this film can also be seen One of the attitudes: fear is serious, but it is unnecessary to be too tight. It should be despised strategically and paid attention to tactically.

Seemingly missing Loser

There were seven members of the group in childhood, and 27 years later the reunion has only six: the remaining one, Stanley, was sitting in the bathtub and slit his own wrist after receiving a call from Mike. It's easy to get the impression that Stanley is a coward.

Then there is a stumbling but honest graduation speech by Stanley in the film. At the end of the speech, he boldly states that he is a loser, and then runs out of the auditorium. At the end of the film, everyone received his suicide note, which described their thoughts: I have been afraid, I know that IT is coming, and the way I confront him is to face my own fear, which is death. The way of six people To kill IT, Stanley's method is to go die, the method is different, the purpose is the same, and there are still seven people.

Personally watching movies is relatively simple and rude. It is aimed at this theme, whether the things to be expressed are in place, and whether the story is good: IT is unexpected, and it is reasonable - the form of change can scare people, but it is not boring fear, always It has some meanings, but also the theme; the main actor's acting skills are online, the situation is lively and interesting, and it expresses a dynamic process of change. It is not an epic work, but it is also an excellent horror film. Especially in a few smash clown scenes, sitting in the first row is even a little fun: people always have a habit of escaping, but they force themselves to face what they don't want to see, what they want to forget, and think about the source of their weaknesses and mistakes. Also a happy ending. Like the protagonist, how many people do not contact people from the past after ten, twenty or thirty years. If you have the opportunity to meet again, look into their eyes, and see your childhood self standing behind you, will you have the courage to watch him/her overcome the fear that drowned you in the first place?
