Joker: The protagonist is used to scare, not kill

I always feel that the rhythm of the movie is a bit problematic, and the narrative of the story is rather chaotic.

What kind of thing is the clown? I didn't understand how it worked. The clown eats people, does it eat people who are afraid of it? Or does it live on fear alone? Is there a limit to this? For example, there are fewer things that adults are afraid of, so few are killed by the clown. The movie gives me the feeling that it can only eat people who are particularly afraid of it after being frightened by him, and its own spirit is also Relatively fragile, basically a few protagonists show that they are strong and not afraid of it, and then casually say something bad about it and it will be cowardly, afraid, and defeated. But the clown kills a few children neatly. Instead, facing the protagonists, he can clearly defeat them alone. Even if he has to scare them, he will give them a chance to fight back.

I thought they would become stronger when they were adults away from the small town of Derry, but I didn't expect that they would be more timid than when they were children when they went back. If it wasn't for the clown's release of water just to scare them to death.

There is also the damage of the clown. I am also more confused here, because the clown's attack on them is real in some places, such as the vomited sewage, the blood caused by the water, the soil buried alive, but sometimes they are hallucinations, and sometimes they attack them. The damage to them is real, and sometimes the damage to them is an illusion. Is there any rule that I don't understand here? When is it real harm to them and when is it a hallucination?

In the final duel with the clown, at the beginning, they found that the clown couldn't be locked up and panic caused the clown to be huge. I understand that the clown can also deform his arm to grab people, but he just can't catch them on purpose. Later, at the beginning of the gap, they simply didn't reach out and grab people. Changed to non-stop planing walls. The protagonists' expressions were obviously frightened and uncertain, and they were slandering the clown, but I didn't expect the clown to be afraid... Only the protagonist who lost his younger brother has always expressed a firm hatred. And in the end, the clown caught the clown's heart and tried his best to scare the black little brother once, but the clown still declined.

An expression of uncertainty and fear

Finally, I seriously doubt the heroine's character and acting skills. As a sequel, I think the actors selected will more or less match their childhood image. For example, I always feel that Ben's adult actors have changed a lot, but from a certain angle I think his eyes are very similar to when he was a child. Rich's adult actors are not very similar, but they have big glasses for decoration. Only the little girl found a completely different one, and I don't think the role of model worker is very good. . To be honest, the little girl is not a likable character, in the upper part she prefers the more handsome male protagonist, this one is with Ben who is obviously more handsome as an adult, but I don't understand why she still I want to repeat the kiss ( °◅° ), the male protagonist who had feelings for him when he was a child. Although the movie gave a so-called explanation, which is Ben's poem, this plot completely appeared in an inexplicable segment. The two were tortured by the clown separately. , and then Ben inexplicably knew that the heroine was not far from him, so he started to make the heroine strong and then read a poem to confess, and then the heroine broke free and rescued Ben. In fact, I think that the heroine will break free even if she doesn't shout or confess, because the heroine is a person who will fight back. You see, when she faces domestic violence and the blood of clowns, she is abused first and then abused by others.

There is also the last clip, where several people jumped into the river to commemorate their dead companions and kill the clown, which really made me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. Originally everyone was sad, but some people were sad, some were happy to kill the clown, and then they advised the sad people not to be sad because the dead people don't want us to be sad, excuse me?

PS. The picture is not stolen, it is the effect of the tablet taken by the mobile phone

    The most brilliant part of the whole film actually comes from Yimei's interpretation of stuttering, trying hard to pronounce the b sound of b...ike, but the syllable stuck in my mouth for a long time, so I can only borrow f...uxking's f to smooth out the syllable bike . Wow, this actor is so amazing that he can present the real physiological phenomenon of stuttering, instead of just relying on his own speculation and the repetition of monosyllabic impressions in the public's impression to fool him, kneeling!

    Rated 6.5/10. It feels like a low-profile replica of the first one (with more investment in special effects), trying to replicate the success of the previous work, but the completion of the characters is more than one level lower. Fortunately, this type of "family horror movie" is quite entertaining, and the atmosphere in the theater is also lively. Everyone in the old lady's part was nervous and funny. This scary method is also a bit out of skill. I was very cowardly in the first half, and then started to get tired, because it basically relies on sound effects and nasty monsters to create a scary effect. (I actually saw the preview of Birds of Prey and Creed before the screening) (Actually, I don’t really like horror movies. The main reason for watching the movie is that I like the first movie too much, plus half Stephen Gold powder)
