IT (2017) {Part 1} | *First Time Watching* | Movie Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@JonJon-nv1mm]

Bill Skarsgård, the actor that played It said in the scene where he was spitting and screaming in Eddie’s face (Jack Dylan Grazer), he was worried he was going to traumatize him. Jack was shaking and crying and screaming. And they say cut and Jack goes, “Love that. Love what you’re doing with the character!” Total professional lol

[@malcolmdrake6137]

It amazes me that people have no understanding what ACTING is, and think actors really die in movies.

[@cakeisavegatable]

1: Gazebos was also improved by Jack lol 2: Bill deserved an award nomination

[@ISA24tosegu]

@@malcolmdrake6137FR like why they feel bad for people when they know the actors/actresses, are still alive irl! Or just like the characters.

[@callmepsycho3132]

@@ISA24toseguI like how you guys missed the point. It’s not about them dying, it’s that some younger actors get genuinely bothered. Not everyone is the same. But imo if you know you’re easily scared or something why would you sign up for a horror movie anyway

[@One_foot_in_the_Grave]

my guess is that after the physical and emotional shit that has happened to child actors in horror movies in the past, (Linda Blair from The Exorcist comes to mind, physically injured severely.) the adults on set are obviously trying to protect the child actors now.

[@MikkXIII]

Similar thing happened with the timing of the 3rd Season of Twin Peaks and what Laura Palmer had said about how much time had passed in the Red Room... (Its been awhile since I watched the show so I might be getting this a little wrong but she tells Cooper in the dream she will see him in like 26 years ie Season 2 finale was 1991 and sure enough Season 3 was 2017! I just think thats really neat!)

He literally jumped two feet into the air during the garage scene. Me and my other friends laughed so hard at his reaction. This movie was A+ in my book.

The kid that played Richie is also in Stranger Things. Can’t wait for Chapter 2! Also…it’s Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy when a person makes another (usually parent/child) sick to get attention from doctors and others. Good catch! ❤️

[@BunBun299]

Fun fact. In the book, the approximate cycle for Pennywise waking up and terrorizing the town and eating its children is 27 years. It's never a perfect cycle. But 27 is the average time between feedings. This movie came out 27 years after the old version with Tim Currey. Also, it's a blink and you miss it cameo, but the old 1990 Pennywise can be seen among the clown dolls.

[@summerside1967]

I read this book when I was 15 years old. It was summer and I’d read every night just before bed. It was the only book that I have to close it because I was so scared! The window was open and if I heard a noise I’d pull up the blankets and make a nervous squeak like Asia! 😂

[@ChanelStuff]

OMG... that's so crazy. I was the same way. I also read it when I was 15. It was the first book I read cover to cover without it being assigned by a teacher. I would read it in bed at night and it would freak me out so bad I'd have to put it up for the night LOL 😂😅

[@odinsahn7648]

Chapter 2 is really good. They filmed them consecutively and the casting for the adults is the best I've even seen in cinema. Everyone looks just like the kids and some of them were even picked by the child actors which is also cool. It's 3 hours long as well which helps to develop the characters and feed out the story line so that everything fits just right. I enjoyed both movies equally and I'm sure you both will too. Great reaction!!

[@TheNextStep851]

I agree the casting for the adults was outstanding. The only one I thought looked off was Beverly. They should have cast Amy Adams.

[@BradyRamaker]

One theme that was more pronounced in the novel was the fuzzy line between what was IT's influence and what was people just being bastards. Thematically, IT /is/ the underbelly of society (it literally lives in the sewers, running through the city) and how the "top side" of the social order looks the other way when the marginalized and vulnerable go missing. The authorities just rationalize why so many children go missing, or when terrible things happen to minorities or "undesirable" folk. All the forms IT assumes, all the faces IT wears mask that it has no real physical being... because It is society, and society is It. The fact that It even lacks a real name, just descriptors that float around It, is a symbolic nod to the fact we collectively often lack the vocabulary to even label the horrors going on right under our noses. Without giving too much away, the book even addresses the way people are incentivized to "just get the hell out" and let the cycles of violence continue. How Bill and company decide to be brave and directly confront It, even though it's dangerous, and not simply look away and just hope it eats up someone else, is the only way to make a change, that's the real lesson here.

So glad you're doing this one, too. God, it's so good. Really, the book is just so deep, as an aside. On a re-read, I came to understand that it's all about trauma and understanding its affect into adulthood and how you have to face your stuff to heal from it.

Eddie was so lucky when It first tries to get him appearing as the lepper, It was trying to scare him in to running in to the house, but luckily for Eddie he ran around the side and to the backyard instead of going in, where It then appeared as Pennywise. Had he gone in to the house, he’d have been done.

The best thing about this movie is the nostalgic quality of the kid scenes. They really feel like reading the Stephen King novel.

Asia and BJ I absolutely love y'all, the love is real with y'all. Please note, the book gives you so much more information on those things that you are wondering. It's kind of alien where he really comes from, but you're right about their fears. He plays on your worst fears. I have hated clowns all my life, if one comes up on me I gotta kick him in the shin or something. Please please do chapter 2 ASAP! Here's something funny about the guy that played Pennywise, he said that when they cut scene after a very scary moment where he was in one of the kids faces, he thought that he really freaked the kid out bad, and he asked him is he okay. The kid said, I really love what you're doing with the clown man, great work! Those kids, I'm telling you, awesome actors!

[@Krisishere]

To paint a picture of how well this movie did, it earned around $700 million dollars on a $35-40 million dollar budget. The profit margin there is wild, even after you take away various advertisement costs etc. That said, I saw this in the theater when it came out, and I really dug it, and because I didn’t want to spoil anything else for myself I avoided the book until after Chapter 2. Now that I’ve read the book I can for sure say there are things I think should’ve been included in both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the movies, but I’ve generally seen them both as two different entities, and appreciate them both for what they are, very very great entertainment of their respective media.

One of my favorite stories from filming this is that the first time the child actors saw Bill Skarsgård, he was in full costume and makeup as Pennywise. The first scene they filmed was the house on Niebolt St. where he comes out of the fridge. Skarsgård was so afraid he'd scare them too badly and the kids were all total pros about it.

[@Juide80]

You don't get hot when you're scared. You're going to get goosebumps and chills. But I did catch at least one part where BJ got really spooked. It was when the one kid was picking up his pills off the ground and the creepy hand appeared. You can see it on his face and how he leans all the way back to his seat and compared to couple seconds later when the creepy face appears BJ is not scared at all because he leans all the way close to the screen to see it and he has a curious expression on his face so those two moments right after each other show him scared and then not even a bit scared. But he's not a scary cat like Asia under the covers and her hands on her face which is so illogical but emotions never are so that's just how it goes sometimes 😂 Pretty good reaction video. This movie is very hard to follow when you don't see everything happening in order even if you have seen it (no pun intended 😂) lately. Maybe if you've seen it ten times within a year you'd have no problem following it even with the jumps. Good job anyway. But Asia, stop trying to hide how horrified you were throughout the whole movie by trying to say BJ was the one who was scared.

[@Bigwayne1984]

It (1990) was also part one as kids and part 2 was grown up. this one was more in your face " scary" but was not as creepy...also watched it as a adult so its not the same. 90s was also on network tv, so had to be more subtle and your imagination filled in the scary which is better than CG, IMHO.

Its something that doesn't get explicitly explained in the films but to see it, is how Pennywise's presence effects everyone (including adults).
