The Fear of "The Clown Returns"

I watched "The Clown's Soul" over the weekend. In fact, the horror is not very scary. Even the clown's two big rabbit teeth look a little cute, but overall it is still a bit bloody and disgusting. Of course, these are just its appearances. After watching this movie or even watching this movie, I feel that it is not just a horror movie, it is even a real projection. The clown in the film represents fear. At the beginning, the seven protagonists have their own fears, so they can't defeat the clown. In the end, they overcome the fear in their hearts and win. Of course, this plot is more conventional and routine, but the fear of the protagonist is real. The fear of the first protagonist Billy is his younger brother, and the fear of the heroine Beverly is the tuft of hair sticking out of the sewer. , Mike's fear is the scene of his parents being burned to death, Eddie's fear is the leper. But their fears are a projection of reality, and Billy has lost his younger brother. Beverney is terrified of her father (and even at the risk of her being sexually assaulted by her). Mike's family was his fear, his parents were burned to death, he was a black himself, and he was racially discriminated against locally. Eddie's fear was his disease. But in fact, these kinds of fear adults cannot see, and even those fears are handed over to them by those adults. So this drama is a horror movie, but also a youth movie.
