7.5/10
"A scarier place".
Two days ago, I saw the trailer of "Joker's Soul 2". The model worker (Jessica Chastain) was just facing the horror creature, and it (It) returned to the soul again.
The English name of "The Clown's Soul" is "It", which means "it". The film is adapted from the horror master Stephen King's novel of the same name in 1986. In 1990, a two-episode drama version was filmed, and a movie version was released in 2017. Once released, it broke many records and became the dark horse of the North American film market in 2017.
Horror master Stephen King has a number of best-selling novels, and his works are constantly being adapted into film and television dramas. Including "Carrie the Witch", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Miracle in the Green Mile", "The Mist", "1408 Mirage", etc., the famous "The Shining", "The Dark Tower", and The recently remade Pet Graveyard is also based on Stephen King's novel.
I probably watched the movie "The Clown Returns to the Soul" last year. After watching it, I was still a little unfulfilled. After a while, "Kunchiyan" became popular, and then I persuaded.
Even if I know the basic plot and see the true face of the ghost in "Kunchiyan", I still dare not watch it.
Due to different regions, cultures and lifestyles, horror movies in Europe and America make me curious, and horror movies in Asia make me dread.
The story of "The Clown Returns" took place in Derry, a small town in Maine in 1989. Derry is a small place with a small population (maybe for some reason), green enough, good scenery, no smog, and clear river water. .
But from a certain period of time, there will be multiple cases of missing children in Delhi.
The protagonists of the film are a group of weak children. Some of them have lost their younger brothers, some of them are often bullied by bad boys, and some of them are matched with an alcoholic father when they leave the factory. These little friends experienced a series of terrifying incidents one after another, and no one could help them, so they formed an alliance.
The bumbling alliance.
They found that every 27 years, Derry's child disappearance and death rate peaked.
One day, you will go to those places. The wind touches the face, the snow-capped mountains are white, the lakes are clean, and even the reflections are singing love songs for you. Time takes time, and I'm with you. —— Zhang Jiajia
The story of "Joker 2" takes place 27 years after the last film, and the useless alliance starred by Yimei (James McAvoy) and the model worker (Jessica Chastain) gathers again. Compared with the previous film, the Kastodu blockbuster configuration of "Joker's Soul 2", if you add a Fa Shark (Michael Fassbender), it will become the "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" after "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" The X-Men series, maybe "X-Men: Pennywise"?
Every time I watch a thriller, I wonder what the hell is going on and how this ghost came from. Because it is adapted from Stephen King's novel, "The Clown's Soul" is not just simply scary, the film has a deeper meaning.
Why is the 27-year mass disappearance of children finally discovered by a few brats, where are the adults in Delhi?
This is what I personally think is more terrifying than the clown in the film, the indifference and acquiescence brought by maturity, and the forgetfulness of childhood.
It has been more than a year since I watched the movie. I still remember a scene in the movie. The bullied friend asked for help from the passing vehicle. The vehicle drove straight away, and a red balloon appeared from the car.
The image of this red balloon is the symbol of the clown's success, and it can be seen as the indifference of adults, the silence of certain rules, or even the embodiment of acquiescence.
The climax of the story in the original novel takes place 27 years later, when the Wicked League reunites after growing up and returns to Delhi to face their childhood nightmare again.
The English name is "It", and the Chinese name is "The Clown's Soul Return". Maybe this 27 years will be its last return to the soul.
Just let time take away time.
It does not take away the sincerity and courage of youth, nor the forgetfulness and acquiescence of adulthood.
