Movie name: IT (2017)

Director: Andrés Muschietti

Genre: Horror

Date finished: 20/09/17

Seven young kids in Derry, Maine, faced their worst nightmare. An ancient shapeshifting evil creature emerges from the sewer every 27 years to prey on the town's children. Getting together over the horrifying summer, the friends had to get over their personal fears to battle the murderous, bloodthirsty clown known as Pennywise. At the end of the movie, they scared off Pennywise because they weren't scared of him anymore and that made Pennywise scared. In my own experiences, I've had to overcome my fears about a week ago when my Youth Group went to clip n climb, I was stuck on the pillars and I wouldn't get down off the pillars because I was afraid that the machine that was holding me up would break and I'd fall to my death. I eventually got rid of that fear and slid down the pole instead of jumping.

I can relate to Bill Denbrough. He has that character that cares about his friends and family and will put them all in danger just to save one person. His little brother Georgie went missing and he didn't know how he did until he found Pennywise. He tried everything to try and rescue his little brother and risked his friends life but in the end he couldn't rescue him. I find this really sad that Bill couldn't be with Georgie anymore and I have a similar situation. I have a little sister called Crystal, she's only four years old and I haven't seen her in two months. Me and her have that bond where if we don't see each other we feel lost. Mum messaged me saying that Crystal misses me but I can't go see her. I feel like this is similar to Bill and Georgie. At the end of the movie, Bill finds the paper boat he made for Georgie and breaks down crying because that is the day Georgie goes missing..
