Spoiler alert, watch the comments after watching the movie.
First of all, apart from a few shots that came out that were really scared off guard (and by the way, the dad who heard it by the side was startled), the others were okay. Am I being brave? Or do you think that the actor is actually a handsome guy and not so scared? As long as you don't bare your teeth, it won't be scary, and the shots with big blue eyes in the sewers are even a little cute.
After watching the first movie and 18% of the original book (if the length of a normal novel is the same), the clown gives me a better feeling than "The Shining". I want to see the ugliness of human nature, and I don’t want to see the mysterious power of gods, ghosts, and ghosts. When I was struggling to find a symbol for a psychological explanation, I found that ghosts are really ghosts, and I was really disappointed when I went to run superpowers. And "Joker" can have a realistic explanation. The film was made too "Stranger Things", and the original work was changed from the 1950s to the 80s, which is the same as "Stranger Things." Even the actors and actresses are overlapped and their costume styles are the same. Maybe the producer wanted to make two films long ago, and the flashbacks in the original book were ignored. The first one was simply a kid playing monsters-"Stranger Things".
Some interpretable points that come to mind:
The original book mentions that It is a town called Derry, a place with a high crime rate, expanding into the entire society, it implies all kinds of heinous crimes, murder, cannibalism, abduction of children, school tyrants Ling, and the beginning of the book spent a lot of time talking about homophobia (not mentioned in the first film) and the violent fights and even murders caused by it. The original book is to write it mysteriously, saying that every 27 years there is a sudden increase in mysterious deaths and child disappearances, and crimes happen from time to time in reality. Why wait for 27 years. The level of violence in reality is even worse than in the book. Art comes from life. The force against It is the children. They are a bunch of "losers" on campus. They are stuttering, fat, weak, and introverted. They are bullied by a tall, second-rate classmate. They change the loser's s. Lover, whether it is fighting a bad boy or It will never give up companions because of fear.
Next, talk about the children. The footage of Beverly’s father entering the bathroom reveals that only children (at least adolescents) can perceive weird phenomena and see It. Adults cannot see it. It can be explained as follows: 1. Children/teenagers still retain their innocence, while adults pass through society His "baptism" has been slow to the ugliness. 2. Children have more imagination than adults. 3. Children are more scared than adults.
It pops out/red balloons/monsters can be summarized into two situations: 1. Before and after the evil happened—bad omen 2. When the child was afraid. So it can be regarded as a symbol of the combination of evil and fear. As for the connection between the two things, I haven't figured it out yet. Example of the first situation: When the bad boy Henry Bowers wanted to avenge his father’s abuse, the red balloon sent a knife and instigated him to "Kill him" on the TV; Beverly ran into it after killing his dad in the bathroom. , The strange phenomenon appeared for the first time in the bathroom, and the blood spurting all over the house was definitely an omen; in the original book, there were gangsters bullying gay and causing death, and it was said afterwards that it was because of seeing the clown. Examples of the second situation: Bill in the basement remembered the fear of his dying brother, Mike's fear of the fire taking the lives of his parents, Eddie's fear of the majestic mother of big stature, Beverly's domestic violence and father's sexual assault (the movie suggests) Even the bad boy Bowers is under the shadow of his father’s domestic violence. There is a sentence in the movie: Maybe It is in the heart of each of us. In the end, Bill clearly pointed out that It feeds on fear, and no one is afraid of him, he will starve to death.
Unresolved: I don't understand how Georgie died. In the book, Georgie died after seeing the corpse. He was bitten on his arm. Maybe he lost too much blood or died in shock. The movie directly sucked him into the sewer and disappeared strangely. According to the book, it can be explained as a pervert (Is it not It) that killed him, the crime happened and then It appeared, and It was a bystander and an instigator. The movie’s dead body method seems to mean that It ate him, that is, the perpetrator. But why does It focus on Georgie? According to the analysis of the two situations in It above, there is another situation that eliminates the occurrence of evil, which is that Georgie is afraid, but what is afraid of? The fear should be something real rather than It itself. But at the beginning of the novel, Georgie was in the basement and he was afraid of "it" coming out and catching him in the dark. He hadn't seen It yet. Maybe it's because of the fear of the black It in the sewer that came here? Anyway, the original book is inherently unclear (the protagonist also said the same), a horror novel with this and that description makes people stop and think: What am I reading? What is the main line?
I prefer to think of It as a spectator's instigator. It is interesting to use It as a symbol. It is boring to simply regard It as a mysterious power that eats children for the sake of eating children.
