"Who is that?

There has never been a horror film before, and it made my eyes burst into tears when I watched it like this.

The trailer of "Return to the Clown", to be honest, is not scary, so many people walked into the cinema with a relaxed mood carrying popcorn and ice cream. I am one of them.

The horror of horror films lies in the pictures and music, but the horror of "Clown in Cry" first lies in the plot, because the protagonists in the film are all children, and they are all children without the power to bind chickens. A group of weak children face the terrifying and cruel demons, and they feel cautious just thinking about it.

However, the children in the film are braver than us because they have no choice.

The protagonist group of children is a common "vulnerable group" in our lives: the protagonist who stutters, the heroine who is squeezed out by girls, the fat man who is rejected because of obesity, the "mabao" who is overprotected... They are children, but They have never lived a naive life, "League of Losers" is the name of their small group in the movie. It is such a group of children who have encountered child abuse and killers that appear every 27 years. How to do?

It can only go head-on.

So these children are braver than us. They are not born brave men. At first, they will be scared, give up, and have flukes. However, they quickly realized that avoiding fear will only increase fear. When their friends were taken away, they took the initiative to come to the haunted house, their steps were not so firm, and their hearts were still trembling. But I never flinched. The reason why I watched this horror movie was that tears filled my eyes. At the end of the film, each of them beat the demon clown with knives, guns and clubs. Fear!

The English name of "The Clown" is "It", based on Stephen King's novel. It was remake 27 years ago, but it was eventually banned because it was too scary. Why is it called "it" because you don't know who it is? What is it? Where did you come from? But no matter what it is, it can perceive everything you are afraid of, and taste your fear. Fear is its delicacy.

The reason why the children in the film can defeat the clowns is largely due to the "incompetence" of the adults in the film. Adults cannot see the existence of clowns and never believe the words of the children. When the girl covered in blood lies down When trembling in a pool of blood, he asked his father for help, his father looked puzzled: "Blood? Where is the blood?"

You can only rely on yourself.

Isn’t our adult world full of fear? Everyone’s fears are in various forms, fear of poverty, fear of death, fear of humiliation, fear of failure........., the only thing we are not afraid of, seems to be giving up and escaping.

The children in the film think about how to live, and we think about how to die happily. We are not as good as a group of children.

I am very happy to be able to watch such an "inspiring" horror film in the cinema abroad. There are no easter eggs at the end of the film, only the director’s understatement "chapter one"

But maybe

This is the best easter egg.
