“The kids don’t need a clown to scare them – their parents are villainous enough”(Nicolauo). The film IT is relatively horrifying at times and a generally happy character, which in this instance presents itself as a clown, turns out to be a viscous, shape-shifting monster instead. However, a closer look reveals an evil far more terrifying being that hits close to home for the majority of the Losers Club. The majority of the adults within the movie IT show their children the true evils of the world and those scars will always burn deeper than a clown’s ever could. The greatest villain in the film in my opinion is Beverly’s father, Mr. Marsh. Although there is not an actual scene of her being sexually abused, there are plenty of hints that let the mind wander through the horrors she may have experienced in the past. The scenes the director produces between Beverly and her father is frequently low angle, full shot, closed form, with tight framing to show that he has power over her. Beverly tries her hardest to stay out of her father’s …show more content…
His family has inner demons to battle after Georgie disappeared and their parents do not seem handle the situation in an acceptable way. Neglecting a child may not be evil, but it can result in the loss of a child that’s still living. Bill’s father seems to use woodworking to pass his free time and the scene where Bill tries to show him where Georgie could be he absolutely loses his temper and diminishes any hope Bill ever had of possibly finding Georgie. Like most of the parent scenes the lighting is low key and the angle is also low, which is turning into a theme among the adult’s in IT. Lastly the father of Stan may not be looked at as evil, but when encouraging a child to follow in the families footsteps insulting them so they do better does not seem to be the best way of
There was a remake of the movie called “IT”, which was released this year. This movie is about a demon, named Pennywise, who is dressed as a clown. Pennywise feasts on children’s fear, meaning that he eats the children that are afraid. When you think of clowns, you
The worst character in the movie is the District Attorney Rick Cabot. I believe the DA used all means to try to keep his reputation at the highest level by all means, even including using unethical ways for his blind ambition to become the DA for the Los Angeles. He did not care who he took under the bus for his ambition and to top it of his family was included. With this said, in the movie when his wife Jean Cabot told him that she had felled from the stairs he showed no emotion on his face or even said anything to her that would comfort her. Instead Jean sought comfort in the maid who she expressed her that she was her best friend.

“It” in its origins, is Stephen King’s 1100 page literary masterpiece that has bred Coulrophobia within many who dared to sojourn through the novel. Nevertheless, it was the novel’s subject in focus, Pennywise the Clown, embodied in full flesh by Tim Curry that amassed a sadistic following and obsession with the arrival of the 1990 TV miniseries on ABC. Curry’s portrayal of the dancing clown quickly became a hallmark image for the horror canon, if not the face of horror movies altogether. Flash forward 27 years later, the fear of clowns has burgeoned into a commonplace phobia and horror trope. With all this to say, no clown has terrorized us in our nightmares quite like Curry’s Pennywise. Well, that was the case until Bill Skarsgård came along with a darker rendition of the fiendish entity in Andrés Muschietti remake of “It.”

Bill, the film's antagonist is a firm believer in nativism. He despises the immigrant Irish, even more than he does blacks in the neighborhood. The whole of the film's plot stems from his hatred for Irish immigrants. The opening scene of the movie is a battle in which Bill kills Priest, the father of Amsterdam, the film's main protagonist. Though Bill says that he respected Priest, they were on opposing sides. This shows just how much he hated the culture of the Irish Catholic.
In life people will come in contact with others, who are from a different background, culture, lifestyle or ethnicity as them, yet still every individual is equal, they’re all humans. As humans, people have the tendency to have their own unique perspectives on the world around them and everything it encounters. Psychologist Gordon Allport (1985), one of the founding fathers of personality psychology, defined social psychology as a discipline in which scientific methods are used in order “to understand and explain how the thought, feeling, and behavior of individuals are influenced by actual, imagined, or implied presence of other human beings” (Cherry).Social psychology involves
He targets Beverly by transforming into her father. With the added conflicts of the bullies vs. the losers and the odd relationship shared between Beverly and her father it adds more depth to the film. Targeting every child’s fear is also what adds a spooky aspect to the film. It makes you, as an audience member, afraid of your biggest fears even

The principles and theories of Social Psychology are important and useful in assessing behaviors in situations. These social psychological principles and their applications can be seen in fictional films which can also be attributed to everyday life. One such film that holds certain social psychological perspectives is Will Gluck’s 2010 production of Easy A. A film about high school student Olive Penderghast and how a sudden change in popularity and financial status, after an unintentional rumor about how she supposedly lost her virginity to a college guy spread through the entire her school. The film draws on the behavioral connections of pronounced hussy Olive Penderghast and her English class’s assigned reading of The Scarlet Letter.
