FIRST TIME WATCHING *IT* (MOVIE)

[@connorclemmons8698]

Fun Fact: There’s a “blooper” scene where Georgie actually manages to get his paper boat back and leaves Pennywise in storm drain. One of my former bosses is a huge Stephen King fan and saw that clip first and legit thought they changed the narrative and refused to watch the movie because of that. Fun Fact 2: The kid actors in this movie didn’t get to see Pennywise until the abandoned house scene, where they were legit terrified of the actor playing Pennywise.

[@Reaperkitty918]

Also very wholesome to note: He made sure each time to be cool with them and made sure they were genuinely ok in between takes.

[@tycol322]

As I recall there was one scene that Bill (Pennywise) was so worried he had traumatized the kid (I think eddie) based on his reaction during the scene but as soon as they called cut he instantly started laughing

Haven't finished the video, yet, but yeah all of the adults in Derry are being influenced by It to a certain degree. It can either bring out the worst in a person, or make them not see things. It's why that lady just completely ignored Georgie's blood in the water.

[@fastballncs]

Yeah, they try and make it a bit more obvious later with the balloon in the car that drives by ignoring the obvious assault happening. One of those things that is more clear in the book.

[@attackinglizard3429]

Fun fact, that old lady in the library is actually pennywise looking for his next target

Peniwise the dancing clown; has a schtick so good it gathers the town; With his balloons all floating around; his perforformance was to good it slew the town; 27 years later, he'll see you around. For that's the curse of the dancing clown.

[@Ironmew05]

Anyone else besides me ever noticed that most of the adults in this movie were watching the same kids show? And considering that Pennywise uses the the show to hypnotize Bowers to kill his father, he basically hypnotized the parents to act upon their worst instincts. Making their kids fear them. It really is horrifying how big of an influence Pennywise has over the entire town.

[@tycol322]

In the book it's heavily implied that while not directly controlling them, he does influence the adults to look the other way

[@kodytiffany5686]

That is a point that the movie cannot make that clear due to the cut content. Penniwise is from like caveman days; and has been psychically altering memories and thoughts relating to Derry. So its not that people are not looking into things its that the clown menace is filtering info from adults so that things can go smoothly and IT is not discovered by those that could say nuke it. Kids however are always psychic power houses in Stephen Kings work when compared to adults on average because Imagination is a bigger part of their thought process. Penniwise feeds off emotions and souls; so kids are more nutritious while also being more effective against him. That is some context that may exist in these 2 movies but is not as directly stated as it was in the book.

[@felwalkr_94]

Last I checked, the meteor that Pennywise was on crashed onto Earth during dinosaur days, and he only started his whole eating and hibernation periods when humans started becoming more and more populous.

[@Mordinov]

So, some things for context: Some of the situations are different from the book 'couse nowdays no one will be scared of 'em. Some changes were made due controversial themes like C.ejem A, and Or-G that was really unconfortable even on the book. Now something that has being said several times in the video, people act weird in this town, like they doesn't have common sense, that's one of the Pennywise powers. Make people unnaware of danger and forget or minimize negative feelings such as depression, sadness and guilt. That's because the Clown is a predator and he needs the people of this especific town (which is his territory) to be as easy to capture as a lamb.

[@justnoone7520]

Is there any major differences?

[@Fenn899]

​@@justnoone7520A bunch. But it's less deliberately changing things, outside of the time periods and updating some of the monsters Pennywise turns into, and more that they just simply couldn't fit in everything from the book in. It's a chunky book. I recommend checking out the video by Dominic Noble who goes into a lot more detail about the differences between the book and film.

[@littleylvis]

Fun fact: Bill Skarsgård who plays Pennywise can do that freaky eye thing, it's not cgi. He also based a bit of his version of Pennywise of some weird character he created himself to scare his brothers when he was younger. Also in a Swedish movie he plays a character hiding in a trashcan, so hiding in the sewers seems like an upgrade 🤣

If you like reading, I highly recommend the book. There is loads in it that were left out of the original mini series and the 2 new movies. Some of it for pacing or too much content, others being a little too graphic or mind fuckery and some, just plain obvious. If I remember right, the dynamic between the girl and her father wasn't implied, it was apparently fact. He indeed SA'd her multiple times up to that point and still did. So the father was not only disgusting, but vile.

If you want a proper conclusion to the story watch part 2. I personally find the child stuff more horrifying than the adult stuff. But the adult stuff to be more tragic. Penniwise was the only movie monster I ever had Nightmares about (Tim Currys master class performance from the 90's IT TV special/movie). I have even had Jason Vohreese help me in my dreams I was so into watching scary stuff growing up. But Penniwise in that creepy ass Green bathroom from Candyman was the bad dream. Penniwise snuck up on me and stabbed me with a sharpened lead pipe. Luckily dying in my dreams was just normal. It was the pure atmosphere that had be jumping awake and drenched in sweat.
