The Clown's Soul (Hidden Universe)

"Return to the Clown" is adapted from Stephen King's novel

The film "Return to the Clown" should be a metaphor, representing all the bad guys who bully children because they are weak. These people make the children's lives gloomy and scary, and make people experience fear constantly, but in the end they also teach you not to Fear, when you are no longer afraid, your fear will go back in the same way and give you what scared you. The horror effect rendered in the first half of the movie is still good. When all the abstract fears naturally become a concrete image at the end of the movie, all the haze of previous fears is swept away. This is the reason why most horror movies lack stamina.

In addition to this kind of film, there is no need to delve into the scientific nature, but if you follow the normal thinking, you will find that there are indeed some logical problems.

If the clown described in the movie is objective and real, there are really too many magical elements. The clown has killed so many children. The parents and the police in the small town have nothing to do, but there are only a few little furry children to explore the clown, and the punks. Killing the father, but still being able to drive freely to follow the children, there are too many areas where the logic of the film does not make sense.

However, if the direction of the movie is indeed according to the director’s idea, then if a reasonable reason is added, it is very likely that the problem lies with the child. I don’t know if anyone can see that. The children’s family is very problematic. The girl’s mother never mentioned it, and the perverted fathers are various. The little fat man faintly revealed that he often changes to live in small towns. There is also a little boy’s mother’s unusual pampering, as well as the education of the little boy’s father. Wait for signs that the group of children have problems

In addition, the role of the clown in this film is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
