This is certainly very relevant to the film that I am reviewing this early Monday morning. How my I would have looked at the world differently and how the world would have perceived me or, rather, my skin color. I can't begin to tell you how often I've wondered how my lie would have turned out had I been born with a different color and I would have been raised in the United States. You wouldn't be able to tell this if you were to look at my skin tone, I am one pale asshole, but I am half-black. I don't have contact with my father nor have I had any contact with him for either 15 or 17 years (the timeline is a bit murky for me), but yes, technically speaking, I am half black. I'd also recommend 'It' to those who like horror genre, especially if you're tired of heavy topics and over the top violence.I think I've mentioned this in another review some time ago, I don't remember where or for what movie, but my father is black. The entire focus is placed on imagination and the main goal is to make you a part of a nightmare and you don't get an explanation for them, do ya? Everybody who found Kings' movies and books fun is surely going to enjoy this movie. Some may find this approach too simplistic but that is the main reason why his books and movies are so good. Exactly the same route has been taken in The Mist (2007) were monsters start to appear and a reason why is never given. He almost never gives an explanation for weird and supernatural occurrences. When it comes to fantasy and horror, 'It' completely goes in S. Small town with shady past is as authentically portrayed as it can be. Everything looks as I have imagined it to be while reading his books. Kings' work, settings and location will ring a bell. Children are main protagonists but unlike in It Follows they appear much more playful and childish. It's very colorful, often funny and radiant on your imagination.
This movie can best be described as one long child nightmare filled with fantasy. First two were dealing with pretty difficult subjects and were shot in low contrast setting. I believe many people are going to agree with me if I assert that It Follows, The Babadook and 'It' are maybe the best horror movies in the past several years.
