The depiction of Beverly in this movie does a great job. You hear so much about how people want strong female characters, but when they aren't perfect, they get picked apart. Beverly is extremely flawed. She's not perfect. She messes up and has internal conflicts, but she's strong. She overcomes her challenges, and really shows how well-written characters have many dimensions.

So was Smilla Jasperson and Dana Scully, Veronica Mars, Ofelia in Pan's Labyrinth.

[@41tinman41]

What's scary about Pennywise is not just the fear he induced on the children for cycles, but the way he had a hold on the parents and grown-ups of Derry as well. He gave the kids an environment where they rarely feel safe and couldn't go to their parental figures for help.

[@mikemeggison5084]

You're right about IT eating fear... in fact, Stephen King has featured creatures that "eat" emotions in several of his books... In addition to fear, there's one that eats laughter, and there's one that eats suffering, but they are parts of other stories, although Kings stories are all interconnected (and not just through the Dark Tower books). There's lots of references to characters from The Shining in this book, and there are several other books set in Derry that reference both the events of this movie and of "the sequel" (which is just the rest of the book, since they only told half the story in this movie).

One of the things about this story is that Derry itself is a character. The town just churns through the people living there, and the ones who make it to adulthood are the ones who never had much imagination or morals. That’s why no adults end up not taking any of the kids seriously or turn away even when they see messed up things happening. The town itself also pushes kids like Henry Bowers to go further than they normally would.

[@papl20]

I remember loving Richie so much and then loving him even more in the sequel. Like my fave tbh.

[@KremitLeFroge]

The one book is two parts and extremely long. This is only part one. The movie didn’t “set up for a sequel.” They are just following the book. And in part two, it explains and makes sense why there are two parts. It's definitely worth watching after watching the first. Otherwise, it's like watching half of Lord of the Rings and saying, "I don't really feel like I need another movie."

[@cloudshad0ws]

Thanks for this, I was going to say this.

[@Eidlones]

Naw... the adult stuff is really weak. It may continue the theme of childhood trauma, but it's literally just a rehash of 1, only done worse. Also with one of the most bizarre musical cues I've ever heard in a film. It feels like an editing mistake. The final confrontation is also pretty disappointing

[@KremitLeFroge]

@@Eidlones Even if I agreed with you, it doesn't change the fact that it's still a continuation of the same contained story, not merely a sequel. It, for the most part (akin to the first), follows the one book written by King. Whether or not one part of a story is weaker than another, is it fair to the author and screenwriters to only watch and judge based on parts or its entirety? Certainly, though, I'm no movie critic. So my question is purely philosophical.

[@cloudshad0ws]

[@melodramatic7904]

Yep and the original film mixed the two timelines which made it a bit boring (to me). I'm glad this one (these two) separated them.

Well, the original miniseries was staying truer to the book in that regard, but I agree that separating them (mostly) felt like the better call, since it allowed making each storyline feel like its own complete work.

[@resident2k]

The blood covered bathroom was also in the book but the book came out 1986, while Nightmare on Elm Street came out 1984. So there might be the chance that King took some inspiration.

Okay, to clear things up, fear is like salting a meal, for Pennywise. He can still eat people without it, but he'd rather have it there because it makes the meal taste better (which is also why he targets kids more, because they get scared more easily and their greatest fear are things he can transform into). So the kids that were floating were kids who weren't afraid of him and he had therefore, not bothered to eat because they wouldn't taste as good (it's also why he spares the characters for so long, because he's trying to torment them so much that they taste incredibly good to him), but Georgie was already slightly creeped out when he met Pennywise, then got his arm ripped off and he was absolutely terrified, so he was killed on the spot and didn't get to see the deadlights (the lights that Pennywise showed Beverly to make her float). Also, the reason they set up a sequel is because the original book and mini-series both followed the characters as kids and as adults, intertwining the two stories whereas the movies decided to separate them as kids and as adults, so the sequel was already a given before the first movie had even been released, because unlike other movie series and franchises, the story would legit not be complete without the sequel.

[@brendans2931]

The perfect example of that is Bev story, she's becoming a woman, she's afraid, that's why all that blood in the bathroom, she's afraid to become a woman, nobody can see it but her friends, nobody can help her to overcome that fear but her friends. The blood don't disappear until her friends help her to clean up. At the end of the children story - in the book - they really become adults and Bev definitely become woman giving her love to all her friends (literally), that's the real blood pact they do. This film, unlike the miniseries, shows this part much more.

[@tannerwilliams4500]

Honestly one of my favorite movies because after the first watch and you know what is coming it becomes an a amazing coming of age film that just happens to have horror/thriller elements

[@EinhornIsFinkle1]

So It Chapter 2 isn't really a sequel, it's the other half of the book. The Book jumps between the Characters as Kids, and then to them as Adults. It's more interwoven in the books, 1 chapter them being kids, the next them as adults, and then the next them being kids again kind of thing.

The scene with Henry killing his father was so chilling, but like... imagine being a kid recording that scene for the TV, and chanting "Kill them all" while crowded around this terrifying murder clown...

[@ToxicDover]

This was a fun one! You should consider doing part 2 now for the full story. The novel bounces back and forth between when the Losers' Club are kids vs. adults, so it's not really a "sequel" per say, but the other half of the story.

[@thelmctodaythelmctoday4037]

The movies are great. The whole premise of the novel is that it's more upsetting, uncomfortable and disturbing more than scary.

Watched all your reactions to the marvel movies & now I’m onto your horror section but I finally decided to hit the subscribe button I think you’re quite a unique person

[@NguyenDuong-xv9tt]

the truely disturbing thing in IT is how adults act about everything. Bad parents, adult don't care about a kid being bullied and hurt, a lot of kids been missing but kids can still roaming wherever they want and adult don't even care this is way scarier than Pennywise

[@arioncarlsson7486]

Nat literally went: "let me sing you the song of my people" The meme is real

[@jarbies004]

Fun fact, the pennywise costume was kept completely secret from the kid actors so that the first time they saw him was in the haunted house scene to make there reaction more real

[@irishinnish1]

So, a thing you should know about Stephen King books is that all his early work through 'IT' and I think a little beyond took place around an imaginary county called Castle Rock. In Castle Rock, there is something of a glamour about the region where things are just "accepted" sometimes. In Derry, where 'IT' takes place, Pennywise feeds off fear. He prefers children because 1) they're are usually both easier to lure in (the clown disguise) AND 2) their fears are easier to conjur/imitate. The glamour that looms over Derry is that adults for the most part are "alseep" to the monster and unaware of the danger right in front of them. They usually justify strange happenings with false logic.

[@EvolvedSungod]

From the book I got the impression that "you'll float too" refers to bloated corpses floating in water more than the literal magic floating kids in the movie

[@masontalarico7090]

I grew up with a stammer that turned into a stutter through speech therapy. I speak better now but from time to time it comes back if I'm not paying attention. I bring this up to say that Bill's actor did an amazing job at portraying a stutter so much so that everytime I watch this movie it takes every bit of self control I have to not slip back into it.

[@OilRigWorker26]

I watched both It movies back to back at last years spoopy season and really liked them both. People trash the second one, but since I watched the old miniseries the new version is definitely an improvement on the second chapter. I love the mini-series kids part as a child myself and really hated the second chapter. Another great atmospheric spooky movie is Doctor Sleep, that is a sort of sequel to the Shining. Doctor Sleep is such a great movie, not that much of a horror. I think it would be labeled as horror 30 years ago.

[@misteruncanny]

Richie was probably my favourite character for both part 1 AND 2 I'd really like to see you do part 2 because it's 😭

[@jackfrostingtonerly1891]

I read the book right before seeing this movie in the theater. Both were entertaining. My favorite part of both is the fact that adults don't notice any of the weirdness in the town. It's something I never noticed as a kid in the original made for TV movies.

[@Slashycent]

As you correctly suspected, IT feasts on fear and since kids have a very vivid imagination and feel more intensely than the more jaded adults IT likes to target them. You also correctly noticed that there's "two horrors" going on, that of the supernatural entity of evil and the very real everyday evil that humans do. The book is chock-full with subplots of regular people being just as big of a monster as IT is, to a point where it kind of comes into question wether IT negatively influenced the people of Derry or wether the people's own moral abysses laid the perfect ground for the monster's home. Probably both. IT's origins are quite mind-blowing anyway (without wanting to spoil too much of the book it actually does have to to with "crabs", well more like spiders, and turtles). The films never fully touch on it but the Sequel will dabble in it a bit. But yeah in the book IT had a borderline symbiotic relationship going on with the morally bankrupt inhabitants of Derry. It's a surprisingly psychological work given that most people only know it for the killer clown. And the other side of that coin is that, at its heart, IT's essentially a coming of age story about childhood, friendship, love, trauma, nostalgia, adulthood, life in general...it's like the horror is almost just a backdrop to that. It's honestly one of the greatest books I ever read and this adaption pleasantly surprised me even though it can't touch the sheer scope of the novel. Which also touches on your "setting up for a Sequel" comment since in the book the children and adult stories are actually heavily intertwined and paralleling, so you can't really tell the story of IT without either of these parts. In this case they decided to make a clear cut between these two halves of the story and put them into two seperate films but the adult bit is very much needed. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to that too. ^^

It's basically Stand By Me, but with a killer clown in it.

IT and The Stand are Stephen Kings best works. I reread both books just because I have a need to revisit these characters. The kids were the losers club and because of the book I deeply love each and every one of them

Feel the same way. I dont think this movie did it justice to be honest.

I thought this movie was so scary. Then in 2019 I watched it for the first time ever and honestly I fell in love with the movie?! I was and still am obsessed with both parts. I know it’s weird to say but this movie is one of my comfort movies and I cry not because I’m scared but because I’m sad it’s over. I love your channel and now I’m excited to see what you think of it. btw I’m 15 now so I was like 13 years old when I watched it 🥰

[@SalvableRuin]

Are you ASKING or TELLING? Dint use question marks at the end of statements.

[@xavierrenegadeangel1356]

You're right about the Nightmare on Elm Street comparison. In NOES all the parents were in denial because they were convinced Krueger was dead and gone, so they ignored the reality of the trauma the kids were facing " In the "It" franchise Pennywise has influence that can cause people to see certain things that ONLY they/who Pennywise chooses can see, while completely invisible to others. He uses this influence on children to cause them fear, while using it on adults to make them blind/ignorant to the reality of the world around them. At least that's my understanding from the movies and lore. It's been a while since I've touched the book. The miniseries also has some changed details and may explain things that may have been excluded from this film. Also Ben shouldn't have jumped from the cliff not only for risk of infection, but the force of impact could reopen his wound. Depending on how you land a jump from 50 feet into a body of water can have the same impact as hitting concrete. when an object lands lands into water after traveling from open air, it has to push the water out of the way quickly enough that it reduces the force. water is also incompressible so it has no elasticity to absorb impact.

[@hannahabbot4250]

It was my first horror movie that I watched in a cinema more than once. I spent first time half of the film watching my knees (even though I watched 1990 film in preparation), and then went 2 more times because of the cast. Then I slowly read the book, and at one point with Ben almost threw in into a wall, I was so scared, and afterwards I was just heartbroken and set in silence for 4 hours, crying inside. Steven King is ingenious

Never been able to watch this myself, thanks for watching this so I can watch it with you and make it less scary for me, also having it edited is nicer too

if you ever feel like rewatching this spend time watching the backgrounds and scenery throughout the movie and try to find every pennywise cameo. From background characters behaving strangely, red balloons, art/graffiti changing or revealing a hidden clown within, and even his glowing eyes pop up. See if you can find them all.

The book does a better job of making you see why there should be a "sequel", since it kind of interweaves the stories of the kids with their adult selves.
