Is this a horror movie? I feel like it's just adult dark fairy tales in horror clothes. There are too many elements in the story, describing the experiences of the protagonists before the age of 40, including the good and the bad, including the death of the younger brother due to neglecting to take care of him when he was a child, the family relationship between father and daughter, and the death of a loved one due to illness or accident Self-blame in the young mind, school bullying. The accidental death of a good friend after growing up is a typical problem in American society. The author summarizes them, and then concentrates the fear of these problems on the individual into one, using "clown phobia" As a representative, the image of Pennywise, the devil clown, was created. As a child, it is so powerless to face fear, so we can only hold together to keep warm, so we have a "waste wood alliance", through mutual support to strengthen our beliefs, and finally overcome fear. What the story wants to tell everyone is that when you have difficulty finding more friends, no matter when you are a child or when you grow up, because the connection between people is the most precious thing, it can help you overcome your fears. This is the spiritual core of the whole story, which makes me feel full of humanistic care. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the mixed reviews. Audiences who resonate with this spiritual core identity will like this movie very much. On the contrary, they will feel long and dull and make negative comments. After all, the time of 2:45 is indeed not short. .
