As was the case in IT, the real Georgie will not be seen during the film but rather a ghoulish version of him created by Pennywise to scare Bill and the Losers Club. When an unusual camera angle is used, it gives the scene a feeling of unpredictability and creates tension as the audience is aware that something is about to happen.Jackson Robert Scott as Georgie Denbrough: Jackson Robert Scott reprises his role as Bill's little brother, Georgie, one of the first victims taken by Pennywise during his last wave of crime in 1988. Other examples are when the camera faces Bill Denborough (James McAvoy) from inside the sewer, or when point-of-view shots are used as the audience first sees Pennywise. This is an example of how Muschietti uses distinct camera angles effectively in scary scenes. When an eight-foot tall monster reveals itself running straight towards Bev, it’s a truly terrifying scene. Blurring the background also creates a sense of uncertainty as to what is behind her. Muschietti creates tension in focusing upon Bev’s face as you are waiting for her to realize the predicament that she is in. Whilst the old woman makes Bev a drink, the camera remains focused upon her with the background blurred out. In one scene, Bev returns to her old apartment where a slightly unnerving old woman now lives. The cinematography of IT Chapter Two was the films redeeming quality.

2019 PENNYWISE ACTOR MOVIE
#ITChapterTwo is the #1 Movie in the World, now playing. Muschietti made this point in a recent interview, commenting that the bond between the kids from IT (2017) was ‘colourful and immediate’, then laughing before adding that in the second film it was a ‘slightly more adult bond’.Ĭome back and play. The scene in the clubhouse where young Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Glazer) and Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard) argue feels authentic and natural, particularly when contrasted with some of the interactions between the adults of the second film.

Another unwanted effect of using flashbacks is that it illustrates how little chemistry there is between the cast of Chapter Two. One scene where a young Ben Hanscom (Jeremy Ray Taylor) is running from a burning figure fails to make an impact as we know that his character survives. However, the flashbacks themselves detracted from the film. One scene fails to make an impact as we know that his character survives.


The transitions to these flashbacks are seamless, such as when Beverly Marsh (Jessica Chastain) descends a ladder and appears at the bottom as her younger self (Sophia Lillis). Working with a different cast, Muschietti was compelled to use flashbacks to create what he describes as ‘a dialogue between timelines’, the use of which emphasises that we should learn to accept our past trauma. Furthermore, the audience is already familiar with Pennywise - in a scene later in the film Richie Tozier (Bill Hader) imitates the clown suggesting that even the producers are aware that there is predictability to the character and therefore to Chapter Two. However, in using a similar structure as the first film, the opening to Chapter Two felt a little repetitive. This scene mirrors the opening of the first film in how it shifts from a friendly interaction to a scene of brutality.Ī post shared by Finn Wolfhard on at 9:25am PDT Events quickly escalate as Xavier’s character is thrown over a bridge into a river, before Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) scoops him out of the water and bites a chunk out of his chest. The atmosphere of the film quickly changes when a group of local boys start shouting homophobic abuse at the couple. Set at a fairground, the audience is introduced to a gay couple (Xavier Dolan and Taylor Frey) laughing and joking with one another. Muschietti attempts to replicate that same feeling in one of the first scenes of Chapter Two. The opening scene to IT (2017) is an iconic moment in horror, it looms over the rest of the film, giving the impression that no character was safe. Directed by Andy Muschietti, the film continues to address the importance of friendship in helping to overcome our fears. Set 27 years after the events of the first film, IT Chapter Two (2019) sees the Losers Club return to Derry to defeat IT once and for all.
