In The Clown, the plot revolved around a Loser Club made up of one woman and six men. The boys had different backgrounds and personalities. For example, there were those who were abused by their fathers, those who felt inferior to their Jewishness, those who were addicted to history books, those who had been bullied because they were too fat, those who had ADHD and liked to tell dirty jokes, and those who were overprotected by their mothers. The girl was Beverly. They had gathered because of the missing children in the town. The number of missing children and deaths in the town was six times higher than the national average. Children often saw a clown with red hair and white clothes suddenly appear and then children disappeared one after another, including Billy's brother. This clown was actually a death ray from the super-universe. It could change its appearance at will. After the local circus appeared, it appeared in the image of Pennywise, the clown. It also used the characteristic of the hormone released when humans were afraid to change the taste of meat, making humans (mainly children) the ideal food target. This small group of six men and one woman was constantly investigating the truth. During the investigation, they had to overcome the fear in their hearts because The Clown would use their fear to make himself stronger. In the end, they defeated the clown with the help of the Maturin Turtle (the original story mentioned that the turtle gave them mysterious powers), but the first time, they only drove him back to sleep underground. 27 years later, their childhood friends were gathered together again, and one of them sacrificed himself so that the others had a chance to pull out Pennywise's heart to kill him.

Adrian was pulled ashore by the clown and was bitten to death. His boyfriend witnessed the tragedy from the other side, and at the same time, the iconic red balloon representing the clown appeared. Mike Hanlon, a former member of the Loser Club, came to the river when he heard the broadcast. He found the broken red balloon and the words " Go home " on the pier. He confirmed that the clown Pennywise had reappeared in Derry Town after 27 years.

Adrian Mellon was thrown off a bridge, and when he could not save himself in the river, he saw a clown on the shore.

There were many differences between the "clown"(Pennywise) in "The Clown" and the "clown"(such as the clown in "batman"). From the source of the image, the clown image in The Clown was partly inspired by John Wayne Gacy, a criminal in the 1970s in the United States. He was a criminal who used clowns to commit crimes. This image was borrowed and applied by Stephen King to the novel and adapted film. The clowns in other works (such as the clown in "batman") had different backgrounds. In essence, the clown in "Return of the Clown" was an evil creature from the chaos at the beginning of the universe. It was born in the super universe and could change its appearance at will. The clown image was chosen to hide its identity, intimidate and devour humans. Its main target was children, because children were easily afraid and were ideal food targets. The Joker in "Batman" was a typical criminal villain. He was more of a symbol of chaos and anarchism. He challenged the order and justice that Batman represented by creating crime and terror. He was a human character with complex psychology. His behavior was more of a distorted understanding of society and human nature, as well as revenge. From the background of the story,"Return of the Clown" revolved around a group of children (and when they grew up) fighting against this monster that appeared in the form of a clown. The story had elements of horror, suspense, and mysterious supernatural settings, such as the super-universe and the Matulin turtle. In the works represented by "Batman," the confrontation between the clown and the batman took place in the dark city of Gotham City. The story involved more elements such as crime, detective, and superhero. Watching "The Clown 2: Double Fantasy" wasn't enough. Everyone is welcome to click to read the novel!
In the original work, the clown's true identity was a very ancient alien creature that had fallen to Earth before humans appeared. Its form was a large spider and a clown, but they were all his illusions. It was unknown whether the identity of The Clown would be further explained in The Clown 2.

This statement was somewhat one-sided. The Clown 2 had its own strengths and characteristics. In terms of the plot, it had a 27-year time span. It explored childhood trauma and the values of small towns in America, emphasizing the influence of people's past on the present, as well as the support and growth of broken hearts. The story presented the new source of horror brought by the cruel life from youth to adulthood. It also described how adults who reminisced about the past years got rid of the deepest fear in their hearts and found freedom and peace. In terms of the performance of the actors, there was precise casting and character shaping. The old and new actors were matched, and the connection between the two generations of actors was natural. It was like the appearance of young actors after they grew up. For example, Jessica Chastain and James Scavey, who were partners for the first time, worked well together. Bill Hardle, who played the clown, also performed well. Bill Scarsgaard, who played the clown, also pushed the clown's image to a new height. In terms of production, even though there were mediocre CG special effects and jokes that interfered with the oppressive atmosphere, there was still a solid script and fine production that complemented each other. Moreover, the first and second parts of " Return of the Clown " showed scale and confidence. Of course, there were some shortcomings in this movie. For example, the rhythm of the nearly three hours was not very good. The parts where each character took turns to face childhood fears in order might give people the feeling of a running account. But overall, it couldn't be simply defined as a bad film. Watching " The Clown 2: Double Fantasy " wasn't enough. Everyone is welcome to click to read the novel!

It: Chapter Two was released in the United States on September 6, 2019. It was directed by Anders Muschetti, written by Garry Doppelman and Jeffrey Jurgensen, and starred by James Scavey, Jessica Chastain, Bill Scarsgaard, and others. The movie was based on Stephen King's 1986 novel of the same name,"It," and was a sequel to the 2017 movie,"The Clown." As of December 24,2022, its global box office had accumulated about 473 million US dollars. The story of the film follows the story of the predecessor. 27 years after the end of the summer adventure in 1989 (in 2016), the town of Derry has once again experienced a number of missing people. Mike Hanlon, who had never left Derry Town, suspected that the matter had something to do with the clown Pennywise, so he summoned the other members of the Loser Club to defeat the clown. After 27 years, the scattered members gathered in Derry Town to fight the Clown. During the 2016 Derry Carnival, a gay couple had an argument with several anti-gay teenagers and were violently bullied. Adrian Mellon was thrown off the bridge by the teenagers, and when he struggled in the river, he saw a clown on the shore. He was bitten to death by the clown after he got ashore. His boyfriend witnessed the whole process from the other side, and the clown was Pennywise, who appeared again. At the same time, a red balloon representing the clown appeared. The movie revolved around the confrontation between the protagonists and the evil entity that used the fear of the victims to disguise and hunt the victims (often using the physical form of the dancing clown "Pennywise" to lure and capture the fear of children). It involved childhood fears, the influence of adult life, the truth behind the town, and the victory over the demon through trust and sacrifice. Watching "The Clown 2: Double Fantasy" wasn't enough.

The public release of The Clown 2 was 169 minutes long, which was edited from the original four-hour cut. Director Anders Muschetti also said that he wanted to make a director's cut that integrated the first and second episodes of The Clown and The Clown 2. The length of the film could reach 390 minutes (about six and a half hours), and he wanted to use unannounced material from The Clown 2 to make this version. However, whether this crazy plan could be realized depended on the final box office of The Clown 2. If it reached the standard of 700 million USD worldwide, the film company might be willing to release it. Watching "The Clown 2: Double Fantasy" wasn't enough.

As for the comparison between the main characters of The Clown 1 and 2, the following is some relevant content. In The Clown 1, the disappearance of George, the brother of the male protagonist Bill, was the beginning of the story. Bill was determined to find his brother, and he and several other children formed the "LOSTER" alliance to fight against the clown. The 2017 version (which could be considered a newer version of The Clown 1), the actor who played the male lead Bill, and other actors constructed the image of the main characters in this version. In "The Clown 2," the main characters were once again gathered together. The main characters who were tortured by the clown in the first movie still had to face the fear and threat of the clown in this movie. The actors, such as James Scavey, continued to play the story of the main characters in this film. The characters of the main characters were further developed and deepened in the second film. They faced the challenge of the clown again from their childhood experiences. The character's psychology and experience were more complicated, and Eddie sacrificed himself in this film so that others could have the opportunity to dig out Pennywise's heart. The core of the main characters in both movies revolved around these characters who fought against the clown. However, as the plot developed, the main characters in the second movie had more story progression and character changes in terms of growth and dealing with the clown's threat.
