After watching "The Clown's Soul" yesterday, I felt that I couldn't calm down for a long time, because I was timid. This can be said to be the first horror film I watched completely by myself. It is a horror film, but the whole film is trying to tell you: don't be afraid! As my friend said, it transcends the genre of horror movies and reminds me that Batman: The Dark Knight transcends the genre of superhero movies. Evaluating the quality of a movie is never about the subject matter. Horror movies and superhero movies can be made very profound and wonderful. Since it is a movie, I think it will definitely be recreated on the basis of the original. Many original parties are dissatisfied with the movie, which is very easy to understand. However, since it has become a film and a new art form, it should not be judged by whether it fully conforms to the original work as the only evaluation criterion. Although the movie "The Clown Returns to the Soul" cannot cover all the content of the original book in two hours and fifteen minutes, it has a clear enough story line, enough wonderful pictures, and enough thought-provoking connotations, all of which will make it. be a good movie. Aside from the original work, I just watched the movie "The Clown's Soul". I think it is more like a metaphorical work, a torture of human weakness.
When watching the film, the terrifying image of the clown, the dark scene, the background music with great contrasting ability, and the various stump plasma may make people feel terrifying, but this sense of horror is visual and human. Instinct physical discomfort. Many horror films rely on throwing blood plasma and throwing stumps to achieve a terrifying effect, but this kind of horror that stays on the surface will probably only cause simple physical discomfort. There are also many horror films to create and create a weird and terrifying atmosphere, which is much more advanced than simply throwing blood. The weird and tense atmosphere and style will cause great physical discomfort. If the two are combined well, I think it is a very good horror movie. But what makes "The Clown's Soul" even better is that it not only combines the two very well, but also adds a profound social connotation to it, which is full of subtle insights and discussions on human nature. The male protagonist is always full of self-blame because of the accidental death of his younger brother, the female protagonist is tortured by his father's perverted desire for control and slandered by various gossips, and the other children are ridiculed for religious issues and fat. Bullying, some are tightly controlled by their mothers, and some are bullied because of their skin color. The movie jokingly said that they are a "wool alliance". These children are full of malice, and the malice comes from different directions, but when they ask their most trusted parents for help, they get more harm and indifference. The parents of the male protagonist can easily let go of his younger brother's death. The female protagonist feels ignorant and at a loss as a girl with her menarche, but her father is full of possessiveness like facing her prey. In the Torah, the father scolded him for being stupid and unworthy of being his own child. This injury and blow further ripped the children's wounds, making it easier for them to fall into the illusion created by the clown and almost die.
When the seven kids understood that the clown would become what they feared the most, and that the more they were afraid, the more powerful the clown would become and eventually eat them, they decided to face their fears. Since adult parents are completely unable to bring them help and love, they stick together and keep each other warm. The clown has ravaged the town of Derry for thousands of years. Generations of people choose to avoid and ignore it, and indirectly become the clown's ghost. Adults have too many scruples, just as a member of the team said during the first infighting, the next time the Joker reappears, he is in his forties and has already moved out of Derry Town. He is no longer relevant. Human nature is selfish, and because of this, as long as the butcher's knife does not fall on his neck, he can live a life of "sit down as a slave" with peace of mind. I have always felt that the older a person grows up, the more he understands the way of life, and the less he has the precious and brave qualities of children. In the film, the children choose to be "retroversaries", and they take their courage and firmness, the mutual comfort and friendship between the members to go to the devil, and finally defeat it. However, 27 years later, when the clown reappears, can they still protect their friends and fight against evil with the bravery and responsibility they did when they were young? This problem is actually very profound. When children grow up, they become adults with their own families and children, and adults who have experienced the sinister nature of human nature and the desolation of society. Can they still be like children, with such desperate loneliness and bravery, can they still unite with friends they haven't seen for many years? Twenty-seven years of ups and downs are enough to wear away all a person's courage, kindness and bravery, and many years later, when they understand that this is a life-and-death situation and that maybe no one will appreciate their killing, their Concerns must be much more than twenty-seven years of boyhood. Their fears will also be several times greater than when they were teenagers. By then, the Joker can easily continue to use fear against them, but what about them? Can they still be as brave and tenacious as they were when they were young? All the traumas of the past have penetrated into their characters and lives. To defeat the clown is undoubtedly to face all their fears and fears. When you are young, you may be afraid of lepers and headless corpses. When you grow up, the bullying and abuse that are more terrifying than these are probably more terrifying than the blood-soaked monsters that make people physically vomit.
I, who have not read Stephen King's original work, have no say in the original work. Judging from this movie alone, the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is actually a little far-fetched, and the sincere feelings of the little fat man for the female protagonist are more real and touching. I think the ending of the movie is very good when the seven-person covenant ends. I know that "Joker's Soul 2" has been released recently, but after reading the basic story line, I feel that it is inferior to the first one. The second one is a very good horror movie, but it stops at the horror movie. From the point of view of the movie alone, I think the first film is very good, leaving hope is the best ending. The clown does not necessarily have to be killed, it is the fear that exists deep in people's hearts, the pain and panic that everyone can't avoid, and it can even be said that everyone is the most unwilling to face the past, the most unwilling to face. another self. I am more willing to admit that it is such a kind of existence. I have not read the original book and choose to have reservations about the setting of it being a dead light and an alien spider. The clown is a metaphor, a fear in people's hearts, a demon in their hearts. Simple and brave teenagers can face their hearts, defeat it, and care for each other and surpass themselves. What about adults? What about you in twenty-seven years? Dare to face your true self.
