Character History
Clowns are among the mystical characters and the main heroes of horror films. So it was not always. The character who gave birth to children and adult phobia funny circus, became a terrible clown invented by Stephen King. Since the output of the novel "It", not every viewer quietly visits the speeches of comedians, in whose persons bright makeup is banging.History of creation
Having survived the death of the mother, King decided to move to the provincial town of Boulder near Denver, Colorado. During this period, the "Lighting" book, recognized as critics by one of the terrible novels of the author, was written. The next work was "it". The book was based on real events for which the writer drew attention. One day, the Kingdom family went to dine in the pizzeria, and on the way back the car stalls. Stephen had to call repairmen who took the car to eliminate breakage. Having received permission to pick up the car, the owner went with a walking step until the appointed place.
King chose a dark desert street to cut the path, and came out on a wooden bridge. At that moment, his idea came to his head that a monster could be under the bridge, and the risk of becoming the victim at this moment is extremely great. The writer remembered a terrible fairy tale called Troll under the Bridge. The idea to build a plot around this curious thought did not leave King for four years.
In 1985, on the shelves of bookstores, just published novel "It" was delivered. The book immediately fell into the list of bestsellers and kept the leading position in the ranking more than three months.
The chief hero of the novel was Clown named Pennivez, or it. What is the creature described in the book? It is difficult to assume the male or female this mystical essence, whose spirit will be comparable by age with the universe. In the worlds of Stephen King, the character appeared from the macromir and chose the Earth to the place of residence. The killer settled in Derry and expected the victims to come to tenacious paws.
Every 27 years, essentially wakes up to taste the human flesh, and actively activities throughout the year. She accepts the appearance that personifies the main fear of the victim, and mocking over those who got into the Western. Due to the fact that children experience fear from a larger number of factors, adolescents became easy prey.
The prototype of the hero was John Wayne Geysi, a maniac visiting the children's holidays in the clown's dress. He lured the children and killed them.
Image and nature
The meaning of the name Pennivez is small, the squeak. Perhaps this is a strange name by the author chose due to the tendency of the character to eating children. The protagonist is the embodiment of the very evil clown in world culture. He lives in the world of people whom he calls dead lights, and feeds on fears. Pennivez, devouring children, dwells underground, in a waste collector, and moves on sewage. The first appearance of a character in Derry took place in 1715. Since then, the creature falls into the hibernation to wake up, quench their hunger and fall asleep again. The actions of the maniac remain unpunished. Despite the fact that it can change the appearance, the clown role remains in the usual way for him.
The main ability of Penniveza is a tendency to arbitrary transformation. He takes the binding of the subject or being, which inspires the fear of the victim, and feeds on it. It is able to affect memory and erase the knowledge of people about the past, keeping the secret of its origin. Intangible substance acquires physical form. His second name is a dancing clown, because the character often dances to the music. Pennivez has a geographical binding to the place of events. In addition, the death of his body in the real world entails death in the Universe, where he has no physical appearance.
Come on the children who created the "Club of Losers", the character does not spare anyone.
The novel begins with the fact that Brother Bill, the main character, loses the boat. The boy is started at his search and becomes a victim of Penniveza: the maniac kills Georgie. In alternative versions, it is not clear, or not a child died, since in the late screening the director leaves him alive, demonstrating the terrible teeth of the clown, who is smiling sinister, planning a new victim. In one of the versions, the bloodthirsty character eats the hand of Georgie.
The bloodthirsty killer does not make age limitations and does not differ in selectivity regarding its prey. He loves spectacular scenes, so it is not shy to break the sacrifice on pieces, not worrying about blessing and aesthetics.
The characteristic of Penniveza is similar to the image of Freddie Kruger, whose main weapon also became human imagination. The confidence of children in a weak place of clown helped to overcome him and make it go to run. The "loser club" drove the mystical essence back into the sewer, and it was forced to fall into the hibernation for the next 27 years. After a habitual time, the monster will again break freely, and the heroes will have to return to his native town to deal with him forever.
Shielding
The first shield of the plot was the mini-series. He was removed without the use of modern technologies, but the story was so exciting that the daily broadcast of the multi-sized ribbon was carried out. In 1990, the film "It" was released on the screens. Actor Tim Carry fulfilled the main role in the picture and was believable. For his time, the film turned out to be convincing and made a shocking impression. Primitive fears arose in children and adults, watching movies.
Tim Carry possessed a specific subtle voice. In the execution of the artist, the clown looked frightened and at the same time funny. The modern viewer is unlikely to appreciate his appearance as frightening, and the bite does not consider death. Clown was dressed in a bright yellow jumpsuit with magnificent jabs and motley sleeves. His choped face was complemented by a red mouth and a nose, a red wig was mounted on his head. All items looked in Butafors, so it was possible to scare the hero that only the inexpressible public of the 90s, unfamiliar with the power of the visual effects of cinema.
Pennivilya version of 2017 looks impressive. The image of the maniac embodied Bill Scarsgard. The actor was preparing for a long time to participate in the project, studying the mental deviations of his character. The specific appearance of the artist has disposed to create an extraordinary image. The bright outfit and makeup of the character did it in the oppressive and caused rejection. The grin of the new Penniveness frightened in contrast to the version of the 90s, which caused a sarcastic reaction. Skarcard's eyes attract the attention of the viewer and force goosebumps to run on the skin from one Pennivey look.
The new and old films are difficult to compare among themselves, as these are products of different cinema. The development of computer technology helped to create a project, which approved Stephen King himself.
