So what, we're just not talking about IT?
I think, when it comes to reading King, the portrayal of bullying (from peers AND parents) always makes the novels relatable to me on a personal level. IT, the novel and this adaptation, did a fine job of showing the contrast of male and female bullying (from following home after school to slut-shaming), and showing the reader/audience just how equitable and terrible they can amount to. Obviously, they didn't take it as far in the film as King did in the book, but could they really, I mean, like, legally, could they?
SPOILERS:
Anyone else grin madly when the kid's arm got eaten off? I just thought, thank God, someone's doing this right.
