What did you think of It (Chapter one)?

I just watched It on Netflix, I did not think it would be that good, but I have some questions:

- In the end, when the clique found all the missing children, Billy saw something on the ground and had to cry, while he was comforted by his friends. What was that on the floor? Georgie's body?

- In some scene (I think when the colored boy (I think Mike) was beaten by the bad guys), Pennywise was seen with a bloody arm, was that Georgie's arm? Is this an Easter Egg?

- How did the romances go? In my eyes, the fat boy loves Beverly, Billy loves Beverly and Beverly loves Billiy. Speaking of romance, did you even think that Beverly and Billy would never kiss each other? I just thought to myself, kiss you at last, "Billy has probably heard me. ^^

- This is not a real movie question, but should I buy the book on It 2 before watching the movie? Or rather the other way around? (I would say better the other way, so that questions from the film can be answered afterwards, otherwise you would be tired of the movie).

- Did Henry really kill his father? Or was that a Pennywise gimmick?

- What happened to Beverly's father? Was that Pennywake's work because of the abuse?

And how did you like the movie?

I turned 15 just 2 weeks ago, so I can't watch "It Chapter Two", probably the last two questions will be answered ^^

ro

Which 2 last questions? The film is totally messed up… Like a cheap B-movie - no comparison to the original… And this ridiculous clown with the rabbit teeth… The makers are beaten up. I'm surprised that Stephen King has so humbled himself to play with.

Did Henry really kill his father? Or was that a Pennywise gimmick?

- What happened to Beverly's father? Was that Pennywake's work because of the abuse?

ro

Henry killed his father… Because he was an Ars.hole.

Gy

Henry was worse, I think, he wanted to shoot a cat, if I were the father, I would shoot my own son…

ro

Look better the original… Is better by far. I was then as old as you when I saw him

Gy

You mean the one from 1990? Why?

ro

Because the whole thing is done neatly… The interaction of young people and adults is much much… Much better way… In the new movie are just lousy actors… It all seems so acted and artificial and animated… Disastrous

So I found the first part really bad.

The second was really funny. But definitely not a horror.

Gy

What did you think there was bad?

is

The story and partly the special effects

Ta

The questions and storylines you can comprehend comprehensively in the book itself ^^

Ta

It should never be a horror story, but a coming of age drama (see book)

To answer your many questions:

That was (as far as I remember) Georgie's raincoat with its sewn name tag.
The arm was certainly an allusion to Georgie, who also lost his arm.
The romances went exactly as you described them. But I did not really expect a kiss.
There's no book about IT 2. The novel is a thick tome in which both tenses are treated alternately. I always recommend reading books first so that you understand the movie better and, if necessary, recognize how bad it is. (Do not get me wrong, I think It Chapter One was super.)
Henry was under the evil influence of Es (to unstable personalities finds it easier access) In the book, Henry does not kill his father.
It happened to Beverly's father as well, but even here his inclination already existed and it just had to "nudge" him.

Personally, I thought the film was really great, especially after the disastrous work of 1990.

There's a book on It 2 on Amazon

IT: CHAPTER 2, due for release September 2019 https://www.amazon.de/...473666937/

This is just a reprint of the original with a misleading title added.
