After its stunning debut in 2017, "The Clown's Soul" won a double harvest at the box office and became a rare high-scoring horror movie in recent years.
"Joker Returns" is adapted from horror master Stephen King's best-selling novel of the same name in 1986. The film only filmed half of the novel. Two years later, "Joker Returns 2" made a comeback and continued to put the other half of the novel on the big screen. .
"The Clown Returns" tells the story of a horror legend in the town of Derry, Maine, USA.
Every 27 years, the number of unnatural deaths in the town skyrockets, and a clown named Pennywise wakes up from the silence, mad to kill lives and spread fear.
The movie "The Clown Returns to the Soul" divides the story into two chapters. In the first part, the little protagonists work together to defeat the hideous clown and save themselves.
They made an alliance of blood, and agreed that once the clown reappeared, everyone would return to the town and defeat the evil clown.
"Joker's Soul 2" tells the second chapter of the story.
Twenty-seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the former friends have long since left their hometowns and started their families and businesses. Mike Hanlon, who had been staying in Derry Town, noticed the clown's reappearance, so he urgently contacted his friends and organized everyone to deal with the clown together.
Instead of sitting still, stand up and fight. The friends immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to Derry Town overnight to prepare for the fight.
One of the highlights of "The Clown's Soul" was that the protagonists were all half-grown teenagers. These teenagers who are still in school are still childish, and at first glance they are children who have not yet been infected with social habits. They want to try their best to show their maturity and stability, but what they show is still full of original ecology.
Although they are not strong, their thin frame contains a strong will. In the face of fear, they bravely took up their responsibilities and obligations, and found a way to defeat the clown when they were on the verge of death.
The children's juvenile stature contrasts sharply with Pennywise the clown's gigantic stature, and the resulting dramatic effect is satisfying.
In "Joker's Soul 2", the children from the previous film all returned, and new pictures were taken. The kids were the most viewer-satisfying element of the first, and that was fully preserved in the second.
In addition, there are many stars in "Joker's Soul 2" who play adult friends. "One Beauty" James McAvoy, "Model Worker" Jessica Chastain, "Shi Xiaofang" Bill Hader, "Potato" Jay Ryan and others have joined in, adding a lot to the film. Spend.
In addition, the original author of the novel, Stephen King, also made a cameo in the film.
The second chapter of "The Clown's Soul" is 169 minutes long, an increase of more than half an hour compared to the 135 minutes of the first chapter.
The time of the film has been extended, and the content is still very full, so that there is no urine spot. The second chapter is about a group play. There are many characters in the film. Except for Stanley, who committed suicide at the beginning, each of the remaining six characters has his own exclusive role.
When Pennywise transforms into various forms of fear, the creators' imaginations are used to the extreme. All kinds of weird pictures, probably only seen in nightmares.
Almost every few minutes, there is a small climax, and the audience who likes horror movies should keep their eyes open and not miss any details.
Whether it's Chapter 1 or Chapter 2, the theme of The Clown Returns is the same, that everyone has to learn to overcome their own fears.
The "Joker's Soul" series concretizes everyone's inner fear. The evil Pennywise, who can change shape infinitely, is actually the fear in different people's hearts.
Pennywise can acutely sense the fears in potential victims, and then express those fears in exaggerated ways. And Pennywise uses fear as his source of strength. The more scared the victim is, the stronger Pennywise's power will be.
Then find the source of Pennywise's power, and it becomes very simple to solve the problem. To deal with this fear-feeding Pennywise, simply cut off its source of power and the villain will become vulnerable.
It was only after constant trial and error that the former waste woods found the correct way to deal with it.
This kind of setting is very solipsistic in it. "My mind is the only thing that exists." Since "I" is not afraid, the evil that lives according to "I" fear will naturally cease to exist.
The children of Luthor Club, after conquering fear for the first time, did not really understand the meaning of conquering fear, and the clown was just hidden deep in their hearts. Twenty-seven years later, when the clown makes a comeback, grown-up children realize they still have a deep fear in their hearts. Their task this time is to eliminate their inner fears. It is not effective to defeat them only once or twice. When the fear strikes again, it will still bring tragic consequences to themselves. Only by completely eradicating the fear can the problem be solved once and for all.
