The Joker is a very unique horror film.
The film uses a lot of space to describe the children's after-school life: playing together, defeating bullies together, and exploring the truth together... Just watching these clips, it is completely a qualified children's movie; however, under the joy of childhood, it is also There are horrors from reality and non-reality:
The clown kidnapped the lives of other children and used all means to intimidate them and threaten their survival; adults turned a blind eye to their pain, and even saw the blood clowns left behind. Some parents directly persecuted their children.
The threat from the clown unites the children, and the persecution from their parents can only be digested and dealt with silently.
Combined with the '90's version of IT, where these kids grew up and all went back to town to deal with the resurrected clown, it's really like an abstract metaphor for reality:
There is something in the childhood town that will hurt children everywhere, and the children have faced the threat of it alone, but the adults do not understand, do not believe their narratives, and the adults cannot even see the harm it does... More , the adults themselves directly hurt them.
The children could not find protection and were forced to form an alliance to temporarily get rid of it; however, as they grew up, its wounds and lingerings remained, and the grown children had to return to their hometowns to confront and seek solutions again.
I feel especially like I'm describing a story of someone with power who used to ravage the town and ruin a child's childhood, maybe a pedophile, maybe an abusive teacher.
This movie is a wrapping of a true horror story.
