IT movie buffs will know the story of a demonic clown that tortures and manipulates children into doing things they don’t want. It's a metaphor to the difficulties youth face.
It was divided into three hour parts to allow the audience to better grasp King's novel. The first of the two parts is titled It, Chapter One and was directed by Andy Muschietti. It was a huge hit. This version was shot professionally and had a much larger budget than the original. It also omitted the 50's time frame and introduced the audience to the main characters as adults. It had loud music and abrupt fade ins. To show Pennywise it used stop motion. It had an even more intense, action-packed pace.
It, Chapter Two was based on King's epic novel. It was also directed in 2019 by Andy Muschietti. This time, the action is centered on the young Losers' Club, and it focuses on Mike. Toshimasa, a first-time filmmaker, also directs this film. The manga's unique creativity is perfectly translated into real life situations in this adaptation. It also examines the origins and history of Derry, Maine's Pennywise curse.
Pennywise is a demonic clown who uses children's imaginations and fears against them. He is able to take on the most terrifying fears of Losers' Club members including fear of being alone and lost. He scares them with weapons, and he tortures them with his brutal and painful behavior.
FAQ
What is the most secretive location in the entire world?
The answer may shock you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
However, in America it is called The Town that Disappeared.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. There were no bodies, cars or houses left behind, but a road sign that pointed to the former location was all that was left.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They had just moved to another town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
The question is, where did this place go? Well, it's in Switzerland!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why does some vanish while others remain? I set out to find out.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How does one place go extinct?
There are many theories to explain the phenomenon of disappearing towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video examines both the history and current status.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. The names are not known to us. But here's why it matters.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. That would reduce the opportunities for blacklisted filmmakers. This would make them bankrupt.
Which could ultimately result in more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. You'll likely become unemployed if you say bad things about your employer. It's not good for anyone.
Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. Actors are likely to be rejected often. But it doesn't matter because eventually, you'll find someone who loves you.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. Actors love acting and storytelling. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. You may also be rejected from a movie audition. It happens all the times.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to face criticism. People will tell you that you look terrible or shouldn't be wearing makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes it's because you play a character that's not realistic or authentic. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. But they're not guilty of anything.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others believe actors are lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
What are some dark secrets in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, embrace them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
You'll see why they are so important.
