Everyone is afraid of different things in their hearts. A good horror film needs not only the tense atmosphere created by the sound effects, but also not only at the level of scaring the audience to achieve their goals, and digging into real children. What they really fear can resonate with the audience.
"The Clown" (2017) is called "It" in English. I personally think "It" is a more suitable name, because "It" is the name given by the protagonists to the clown Penny Wise.
The low-cost R-rated horror film "Joker's Soul" hit the highest annual box office in North America in 2017, with an IMDb rating of 8.0 and a freshness rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes .
The story goes back to the 1980s, in the small town of Derry in the United States, a large-scale murder occurred in a cycle of 27 years . Every time, hundreds of children mysteriously disappeared, and the memory of adults would be washed away. It's over.
Horror engulfed the whole town, and seven children gathered together to form a group called "The Wicked League" to find Billy's missing brother George, and launched a confrontation with the clown.
The author's setting for the clown has a frightening and ferocious appearance, but does not often show his face. It is an ever-changing fantasy. It will appear with the things that children fear in their hearts, and slowly induce them to make They end up in the "tiger" mouth.
The clown is not scary, the inner fear is the biggest demon
Every child in childhood, there is always a certain thing that casts a shadow on him, and then he has a psychology of fear and resistance to this thing.
Just like the little girl Beverly in the film , she was raised by her father's abuse. No matter what she did, she would be reprimanded by her father, who became her fear.
The double oppression of the family and the school did not defeat the resolute Beverly, but made her stronger and braver, and became a blood in the "Unscrupulous Alliance" .
Childhood shadows are a well-played theme, and many stories begin with shadows from the protagonist's childhood. But childhood shadows are not fictitious to enrich the plot, but are real.
According to data, more than half of the children have shadows in kindergartens , or they are bullied by peers, or physically punished by teachers for making mistakes. All kinds of trivial things that seem ordinary to us are all too sudden for a child's life experience. And beyond what they can bear, so that they left a shadow in their hearts.
The fears generated in childhood will gradually weaken with growth, and some will leave a lifetime of shadows, which still requires parents and friends to spend a lot of time to enlighten and guide.
On the topic of child harm, many movies come to mind, but the first sentence that appears in the movie is the entire movie
The most heart-wrenching narration is "based on a true story" .
The role of the clown is like a child's inner demon. Although the child tries to convince himself and wants to overcome his fear and move on, how many children can be so strong in their hearts that they forget the old things, and they can still pat the dust and stand up after a great blow.
We can't define the responsibility of the incident from the child's ability to bear, we need to look at the seriousness of the incident from the perspective of the children .
Having said that, I want to put the "three primary colors incident" on the table again. When the incident is reported, the most concerned questions of the people who eat melons are "how will the final judgment be made?" "Has the dean been arrested?" and so on.
Are these all problems? Will someone start from the victim group? Of course I am not talking about compensation, but will the children receive relevant psychological counseling? How many times does this black stone rub in their hearts before it becomes smooth...
"The Clown II" will be released in 2019. Twenty-seven years later, the clown Penny Wise returns. The children have grown up. When fear breaks their lives again, how will they face it? I hope the plot will follow the novel, how about you?
