It
Andy Muschietti’sITwas as reliable to the source cloth as possible , but it left out a very important part of the story , which not only contribute to the dramatic event of the consequence but also to the wickedness of IT . Back in 1986 , Stephen King actuate a undulation of coulrophobia ( fear of clowns ) with the novelIT , which has terrorise generation of readers and repugnance enthusiasts . The story follows a group of kids self - name “ The Losers Club ” who are haunt by an malevolent , shape - shifting entity they call “ IT ” and whose preferred chassis is that ofPennywise , the Dancing Clown . The Losers are force to confront the creature one last time 27 long time later , and with that , they also had to face all their puerility trauma , not only the one have by IT but also by their families and the town ofDerry .
IThas been adapted to shoot and TV a distich of times , the most renowned ones being the 1991 miniseries withTim Curry as Pennywiseand the two - part film released in 2017 and 2019 . The moving-picture show made some changes to the novel , set the first part in 1988 - 1989instead of 1957 - 1958 and 2016 instead of 1984 - 1985 , and changing other details to well fit these configurations and provide the consultation to relate . Given that the novel is over a thousand page long , many other elements had to be left out – but there ’s one that , had it been kept and added to the moving picture , it would have elevated them .

IT : Chapter Twoshowed the Losers living their own lives far from Derry , with Mike Hanlon being the only one who stayed and thus the only one who still remembered who IT was and everything they go through . When the rest left the town , they forgot about IT , all those issue , and even the eternal rest of the Losers , and it was n’t until Mike called them that they began to remember . However , at the end of the movie , they all left Derry again ( including Mike ) and retained all their memories , whereas in the novel it was whole different . The Loserswent back to their respective homes and step by step began to forget again , with Mike also blank out even though he stayed in Derry , as the town collapsed be IT ’s frustration ( which triggered a really bad storm ) . Mike ’s phonograph record he had write down also began to fade , and he considered starting a new life somewhere else . have the Losers forget everything again ( and for good ) might seem irrelevant to those who have n’t read the novel , but it actually hold a lot of meaning .
One of the melodic theme address inITis hurt , and how the brain tends to lock those awful memory away as defense , which is what happened to the Losers when they left Derry for the first metre . As shortly as they render , their memories come back and the scars on their hands became visible , as a monitor of how their mission was not over yet and of all the trauma they never dealt with . All adult inIT(in both the novel and the picture ) are oblivious to what ’s going on with the Losers and the town in general , which is part of IT ’s influence . maturity represents a loss of innocence , which is alsowhy IT does n’t go after adults – except , of path , for the Losers . The Losers forgetting what happen is also a representation of IT ’s handling and by and by of how they ’re finally free from it , but it also add together a mystic timbre to the whole emergence .
The Losers forgetting again the 2d time they leaveDerryalso adds a lot of play to the chronicle , as they wo n’t remember the tough stuff , but also the good things and their Quaker wo n’t be part of their retentiveness any longer . keep this in the movie would have added a plenty of emotion to the level , especially after the reveal ofRichie ’s feelings towards Eddie , and while it ’s understandable why it was cut ( as Stan ’s letter would n’t have set had they kept it ) , it would have done more beneficial than harm toIT : Chapter Two .
