The speaker discusses their interpretation of the ending of "IT: Chapter Two", a popular horror film. They argue that the ending is confusing and not clear, and that the characters' actions and decisions are not explained well. They believe that the ritual of Chüd, which is a key part of the plot, fails because the characters do not truly overcome their past traumas.
The speaker suggests that the ritual is not just about physically destroying objects, but about symbolically destroying the trauma associated with those objects. They argue that the characters do not overcome their fears during the ritual, and that the tokens they bring to the ritual are hollow and meaningless.
They also discuss the character of Richie, who they believe is the most interesting case in the Losers Club. They argue that Richie's secret fear is not a thing, but a person, and that his fear is not fully overcome until Eddie sacrifices himself for him. This, they argue, is the true final token that allows the Losers Club to defeat Pennywise.
Finally, the speaker concludes by stating that the movie's ending is a message about overcoming fears and being proud of who you are. They suggest that the characters' inability to defeat Pennywise until Eddie dies is a key part of the story, and that this is what everyone, including the characters themselves, misunderstands about the ending of "IT: Chapter Two".
