IT
"IT" is a movie that adapted from Steven King's novel. The novel was previously adapted in the year 1990 as two episodes miniseries. Time passed by for 27 years, it had been adapted again to bring the feel of fear to the audience. The movie background in the year 2017 version is based on a city called Derry which located in USA State of Maine.
The story using the feel of fear among children, make the "Clown" as the physical state of their fear. The clown scared them, make them alone so that the fear inside the child will be greater, and it can get more power. In my opinion, the movie separated the theme "Fear" into three phrases: fear to the unknown, know the fear, find the solution.
The main characters were united by a group of "Losers". Because they are wimpy, incompetent, not to fight back. So they have been isolated from other people, and they only can stay by side with each other. I don't think it's bad since people cannot stay alone in their whole life. Everyone will be the "loser", the main characters just faced with it longer.
Even though they were the "losers", they still tried to understand better the reason for their fear. Yes for are true, they cannot accept each other at first. They fighted with each other, they wanted to be alone, they even disappointed with the reality. But at the end, the "losers" still gathered together, fighted with the fear–the Clown.
They have faced the fear, now the "losers" will be matured than other children, they also will be stronger than those adults who only know how to run away from fear.

小丑回魂
《小丑回魂》是一部改编自恐怖大师史蒂芬金小说的电影。小说在1990年就已作为两集电视电影作品搬上大银幕上,时隔27年,它再次在大银幕上带给观众们恐惧感。2017年改编版电影以1989年美国缅因州德里市为背景开始的一连串的故事。
故事利用小孩对未知事物的恐惧,把小丑化为恐惧的化身,恐吓他们、孤立他们,企图让他们变成一个人时更为害怕,从而增加小丑的能量。在我看来,电影把“恐惧”这主题分为三个阶段:对未知开始产生恐惧、了解恐惧原因、寻找解决方案。
主角群是由一群“失败者”聚集在一起的组合。因为他们懦弱、无能、不反抗,所以他们成为了人们孤立的对象,而他们也只能互抱对方取暖。但我不觉得这样不好,人是无法独自一人生活的生物,每个人都有过成为“失败者”的过程,主角群只是相比其他人过程来得长。
即使他们是一群“失败者”,但他们还是试着了解了自己恐惧的原因。虽然过程中他们无法接受对方、有争吵、有分别,甚至对现实生活感到心寒,但最终他们还是集合起来一起对付了恐惧的化身——小丑。
经历过打倒恐惧的过程,曾经的“失败者”比其他同龄人更来得成熟,也比一些只懂得一味逃避的大人来得坚强。
