This is a long film, so I'm going to write a long short review. (Sure enough, the number of characters is exceeded, so let's put it in the long review) If it is the movie I am most looking forward to in recent years, it must be this one. I still remember the incomparable surprise when I watched "The Clown Returns to the Soul", and the old version was also read. Among the 211 movies watched in 2019, the new version of "The Clown" ranked fourth. So much so that when the second part was released, I even had the idea of leaving the mainland to watch "Joker's Soul 2". Later, there was a Korean version on the Internet. I took a look at it. The quality of the picture was not what I wanted at all, so I bite the bullet and continued to wait. I was not in a hurry. When I was a child, I liked to save the delicious food for the last time . I've been wanting to see it for a long time, but I can't always find the right opportunity. Today, I finally found the most comfortable time, the most comfortable place, and finished reading this "long-awaited famous" work. How to put it, there must be a bit of disappointment---not reaching the height of the previous work. Everyone's horror scenes of different spans when they take the token, each frame is similar, and they all know that they will be fine when they are young, just like the splicing of five short stories of the same type, which makes people feel lengthy.
The latter part is just a pile of various horror routines, playing the clown for too long, although the picture is very bright, but it does not have the sense of surprise of the first part (it is not scary at all, although it is not aimed at terror, the whole The most frightening part of the article is that my bluetooth headset is about to run out of power and suddenly there is a sentence we charge headsets). Moreover, a group of teenagers fighting against fear is indeed much more lovely than a group of middle-aged people.
The film is also less vigorous than the previous one, and many bloody scenes are forcibly off-screen. Of course, this belongs to personal taste and is not forced.
After complaining about the shortcomings, I have to talk about the advantages. The colors of the film are quite gorgeous, especially the first half of the film, which makes people seem to be immersed in this small town called "Delhi". The rhythm and transitions are just right, and it is even more emotional that childhood and adulthood complement each other. Because I have seen the old version 30 years ago with similar plots, I couldn't help but compare it and found that not only the color and special effects, but also slightly better than the old version emotionally. The unbearable feeling of the past, the warmth of old friends getting together.
The last part of scolding the clown is really bloody, but I remember that the ending of the old version was not good, it may be really difficult to make up... Speaking of the old version, the biggest change in the new version is that whoever kills the clown will die Now, let me go. You said there is something to be changed in this place. Do you want to learn from Marvel and finally die Iron Man to increase the "epic feeling"?
To sum up, to say disappointment, it must be disappointed, after all, I had so much hope for it. However, it is still a fairly good movie. In this small town called "Derry", if you want to talk about feelings, there are still some feelings there, alas, that's it.
