was located in Delhi, Maine in 1989. The shadow of horror is over it, and child disappearance cases occur one after another. It seems that a terrible unknown existence has quietly come among the people. The teenager Billy, who lost his brother, decided to form a Losers Club with Eddie, Ricky, Stanley, Ben, Beverly and Mike. They experienced a series of supernatural horror experiences, discovered the nightmare hidden in the history of the city and reappeared every 27 years, and used courage to defeat the incarnation of fear-the clown Pennywise. At the end of everything, they said that if the horror recurs after 27 years, they must come back here and defeat the clown again.
In a blink of an eye, the children of the Loser’s Club grew up and went their separate ways, leaving behind the beauty of childhood and facing the troubles of adults-until a phone call rang, and Mike, who had never left Delhi for many years, called The memories of my old friends that have been sealed in dust for 27 years.
27 years later, Billy became a professional screenwriter. He would still stutter like he did when he was a child, and he couldn't write a happy ending because of his pessimistic mood. For him, his childhood nightmare was his brother George, who was killed by Pennywise because of his little willfulness.
After 27 years, Eddie has become a risk analyst. He will still be as timid and anxious as he was when he was a child, relying on psychotropic drugs to survive. For him, the childhood nightmare is the fear of death and blind escape.
Twenty-seven years later, Ricky became a stand-up comedian. He would still have the innocuous tongue like when he was a child, and he would vomit while nervous. For him, the childhood nightmare is a sexual orientation and bullying that he dare not admit.
27 years later, Ben became a top architectural designer. He got rid of the fat body he had when he was a child, and he was still kind and gentle in his bones. For him, the childhood nightmare is being bullied and the love for Beverly that he dare not admit.
27 years later, Beverly has become a housewife. He will still be as brave and decisive as when he was a child, and he will also be deeply in the pain of the family. For him, the nightmare of childhood is the perverted paternal love and the slutty gossip.
After 27 years, McGregor is still back to Delhi town. He will still keep everything in mind, and will spend his life trying to find a way to defeat the clown. For him, the childhood nightmare is the life experience of his parents dying in the fire.
27 years later, Stanley has a simple and ordinary family. He will still be as decisive as when he was a child. For him, the nightmare of childhood is everything he can't face. The night he received the call, he simply committed suicide to escape everything. .
all sorts of signs surface, "it" is back. The Loser Club must return to the hometown as agreed, overcome the childhood nightmare, and pick up the courage to defeat the clown Pennywise completely, otherwise it will be a catastrophe...
From some intuitive perspectives , "Revival of the Clown 2" is a bit like "Avengers 4": relatively long but not sad film length, good entertainment and commerciality, Hollywood super-casts gathering event, giving a complete "Prequel" draws a somewhat regrettable period to and .
When we think back to the successful "Clown Back to Souls" that year, we think of the disco-style 80s, the school youth in the children's dream, the courage to face the nightmare of childhood fear, and the unswerving determination to hold hands. Friendship is a subtle fusion of the warmth of youth films and the coldness of horror films.
But when the story comes to "Recall: The Clown II", young child stars become Hollywood super-casts, and adults let the warm and happy meaning behind the code name "Losers Club" be wiped out. Instead, the embarrassing "middle-age crisis" overflows, happiness and fear are buried together, they are still confined to the plight of teenagers, and the cold reality makes everyone live in frustration. The atmosphere of the first reunion in the movie is like the greasy middle-aged classmates gathering at the table you imagined with a blushing face and a beer belly, pushing a cup and changing a cup, thinking about breaking the shoes, frustrated and sad.
I think this is also the reason why Stephen King must write an ending to the story that should be complete: Even if most people in life dare not stand up to overcome their fears, let these "losers" in the book give In reality, we are a role model, see them bravely than usFace the shadow of childhood and overcome the unwillingness in life.
"Return to the Clown 2" is more like a regular horror film than the first one. The cliché jump scare is reduced to a weapon with special effects. The bluffing horror is not only too late to scare people, but also makes people think about it. After opening the CG shot, I only felt boring-perhaps to balance the strength gap between the loser and Pennivales. After Pennivales’ exaggerated terrorist attack, most of the losers escaped effortlessly, even though In the final battle, it only relied on swear words to attack. The entangled mind that wanted to be scary but not too scared made "Recall the Clown 2" highlight the director's helplessness a bit unable to control the original Stephen King classic.
said so many bad things, I actually quite like "Clown Back to Souls 2", for example, before Jackie Phoenix's "Joker" went online, Bill Skarsgard's clown Pennywise almost performed The "clown phobia" in everyone's heart has made this horror icon that should be a little earthy even today easy to make people creepy.
For example, the best performer in the Losers’ Club is not the highly anticipated Yimei, nor the model worker sister, but Bill Harder, who just won the Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Comedy category this year. Bill's somewhat neurotic performance and the combination of the screenwriter filled the role of Ricky, making this big boy who used humor like Chandler to disguise inferiority complex as the most exciting part of the whole story.
For example, Dolan left in person. In order to realize the dream that a director who is not an actor is not a good book fan, he received a lunch early.
For example, Uncle Stephen King will end up himself, escorting this beloved horror story.
Anyway, "The Clown's Soul 2" is not a satisfactory sequel, and have shortcomings, you have many reasons not to like and . But if you have loved " it " ("It/The Clown"), then you will definitely not miss it .
