The new Joker Returns, an adaptation of Stephen King's novel IT. It was filmed by the American Broadcasting Corporation in 1990. Scared a lot of children, and won the Emmy Award for Best Soundtrack. The film chose to return to the big screen again in 2017, not coincidentally, it is the need of the novel plot, Stephen King's novel is about the Joker returning to Derry Town every 27 years to do evil, so that the melon-eating masses will be more involved in the drama.
Jonathan Brandis, the star of the old Version of the Joker's Return, is a hero who leads his friends against the Joker in the movie. The young man was only 13 years old at the time.
The fame of his youth did not make his acting career smooth, and he wanted to transform from a child star to a small fresh meat after becoming an adult, but he has not been successful. The movie "Hart's War" in which he participated was all deleted, and the little handsome guy couldn't stand the blow and suffered from depression, and committed suicide the next year.
He was just 27 years old that year, which coincided with the novel's joke that every 27 years the clown would come out to harm people. It also adds a bit of weirdness to the film's return to the big screen after a gap of 27 years.
Since the clown can take his life, what kind of demon is he? In fact, the Joker is a secluded monster in the sewers, and he has the ability of a chameleon to change into the form he wants to scare. He can sense the fear in the children's hearts and use the fear to hunt the children.
And it was a group of children, no adults, who rose up against the Joker. Because of the self-righteousness and indifference of the adults and the police, they could not see the clown at all.
In the movie, a little boy in a yellow raincoat is captured by the Joker, and his brother Bill has always believed that his brother is still alive, but their parents believe that his brother is dead. Children are bullied by the school, teachers and parents are all ignored, and collective dereliction of duty. So the clown can unscrupulously prey on these children.
Stephen King is ostensibly writing about the world of children and clowns, but in fact he is satirizing the ignorance and indifference of the adult world. It makes sense for North America to define a film as an R-rated film.
Don't look at the clown who looks so terrible, and the expression that can scare the living without laughing can be scared to death. In fact, Bill Skarsgård, the clown actor, is a big handsome guy from a Swedish acting family. The strange thing is that he is also 27 years old this year, and this reincarnation does not know whether it is deliberately arranged by the crew.
The trailer of the movie "The New Joker Returns" is scary enough, these young actors are under 18 years old, so in order to protect their minds, the director did not let the children in the show watch the entire film. Say it's waiting for them to grow up and then take it out.
Children are afraid of clowns, and no matter how strong the clowns are, they also have something to be afraid of. It is the turtle named Maturin, the patron saint of light, who can restrain the clown. There are also two Easter eggs of the turtle in the film, one in which Bill sees his brother reappear in the room with a model of a turtle in his hand, and the other when the Loser Club goes to the lake to play and encounters the turtle.
It is said that art comes from life, and the author of the novel, Stephen King, can write "The Return of the Joker", which is said to be inspired by real experience: the plane is about to take off, but he encounters a mysterious passenger wearing a clown suit and clown makeup sitting opposite him, smoking a cigarette and drinking a small wine, the picture is too weird.
Stephen King couldn't help but ask him where he came from? The Joker said McDonaldland, he thought the Joker was joking, and later found out that there really was a place in the United States called McDonaldland. The horror in my heart inspired me to write "The Joker Returns". Feel the author's fan smile and clown a dime like please raise your hand.
If this "New Joker Returns" scares you, then Director Anders has a trick, that is, the sequel will be more thrilling, and the script is expected to be completed next January. But one thing is foreseeable that this year's Halloween yellow raincoats and red balloons will become the new favorites of children.
