When I first picked up the IT book, I didn't know that I would never finish it.
So I started reading from preface, and I didn't look up any words I didn't know. Read until 1/3 of the way, and then it is difficult to go further.
The memories always start like this: It was the summer vacation of the first year of high school and the second year of high school. I was immersed in the story by the exciting plot of the book, and I secretly promised to finish the book page by page; Frightened by the monster in the book, he shivered and almost threw the book 2 meters away and vowed never to read it again. I couldn't sleep at night thinking about the fate of the characters in the story, and I couldn't help picking up the book, nervously turning to the last page to read the ending, silently praying that I wouldn't see anything terrible... The
bookmark will always stay at 1/3, In the end I wrote a long after-read with a naive poise -
"when you see a man in a clown suit you'll know the kid's gonna die; and when you hear a boy missing you'll know he's been killed ..."
"and that's the terror inside everyone. The fear of darkness, the fear of death, the fear of unexpected danger and the fear of 'IT' - the terror in your heart..."
I don't know these sentences How is it written. I guess I was a sharp kid back then.
Now let me recall the scene of reading the book at that time, and it can still be very clear. I could even call that summer reading experience the most complete and unforgettable reading experience of my life. This 1/3 book, I read it completely with "heart".
For students who haven't read the book/movie, I don't want to spoil your interest with spoilers. In fact, I only read the final ending myself, and I may have a very one-sided understanding (but for my relationship with this book, it is best to stop there.)
After that, I read Stephen King's books one after another. A few other horror/non-horror works, read it from start to finish, fell in love with John Coffey (Miracle on the Green Mile) because The Gerald Game was afraid of wet dog noses, because The Rose Crazy ” and had a slight persecution paranoia...
But that year’s IT made me unforgettable. I also found its Chinese version: translated as "die light". I would wonder, is the subtext of the translated name "Death! Light" or "Death!"? But I will never go to verify.
If not reading "it" can be regarded as a kind of incomplete "beauty", then "make up for this beauty" is to know that "it" has also been made into a movie.
I went to download it right away...
Some people say that if a literary classic is made into a movie, it must be destroyed. After all, "the resources for making movies are limited, but the human imagination is unlimited..." This is true, imagination has cast a huge psychological shadow on the clown, and now it seems that the "limited" movie in 1990 Resources may be able to downplay the impact of those "imaginations" on me. After all, I'm not a masochist, and I don't need to be influenced by a horror novel for life. Letting go of the mental baggage is the number one reason I watch this movie.
Indeed, the clown was not as scary as he imagined, and the tone of his speech did not go straight into the cochlea as he imagined, making the spine chill. The little actors' performances weren't perfect, and they certainly weren't "scared". But in general, it can be considered faithful to the original, and there are some scary scenes. Of course, it also downplayed the horrific sights in the summer book that year.
But the appearance of middle-aged Ben gave me a whole shock: it turned out that I was *so* deeply influenced by this book! That actor was John Ritter, a TV actor in the 80s and 90s. He is not amazingly handsome, but his beard is very accented, his eyes are soft, and his smile is more pleasing to the eye. So I suddenly remembered how much I loved Ben in the book at the time! From a child suffering from obesity to a tall, thin and handsome man, I think the description of him in the book is the most whimsical. In the movie, he hugs the beautiful woman, looks at the handsome face on the cover of Time magazine, and recalls that he was threatened and bullied by a group of bad boys in Derry's childhood. He was petrified again, not because he was afraid of the children, but because he was afraid of his own past, he was afraid to face the transcendental fears he had experienced as a child. Ben's portrayal is not only because he changed from a bullied boy to a successful, handsome, but also because from the beginning you can read that Ben is a successful child. But like Ben, but also because he is afraid of childhood experiences and fights hard. It's really unusual to be so obsessed with a fictional character.
Of course, being a nympho is not enough. I was completely influenced by Stephen King's portrayal of Ben. Subconsciously, I also want to be like Ben. Ignore the past, very ego, very handsome, wheeze! So, so! That's why I filled out the building in my major ( ⊙ o ⊙ )! Ben was sitting in a taxi talking to the driver about his construction project in Canada, the bridge project on the river, Ben interrupted his friend's congratulations in the bar and talked about his childhood figure... Watching Ben's studio in the movie , I can affirm myself, completely, because Ben chose the current major...
(Stephen King, I want to hold your hand and sincerely say to you: You won.)
Oh yes, in fact, the subtext of the translated name , is "Death! Light"...
