Official Discussion: IT [SPOILERS]

Am i the only one who sees a double meaning, i got a lot of different points that may sound insignificant at first but bear with me

SPOILERS:I might be reading into this a little too much but i think theres a double meaning to the movie. Its about rape victims and the moral of the story is to get help and not be afraid to tell others if you 've been raped or abused. Now hear me out i think the red balloons are a metaphor for getting raped, in the end the clown turned out to be her father who by the context of the movie was probably raping her. The clown looked a lot like the girl and had red hair, the clown and when they kill it it was her dads head, who in other scenes holds her down and intimidates her into keeping quiet saying "youre still daddys little girl right?" And she says yes, broken down. Then she gets "killed" by the clown after that. which i think means the clown is her embodiment of fear of (Telling Others) but he is only defeated once all the kids stuck together believing her, helping her through the end. Now if you'll remember the beginning the older brother with a stutter metaphorically knows about the kid who got his arm bit off being raped,why? Well the kid followed a RED BALLOON to the clown, who tells him to stay quiet about whats happening, and kills the kid. I think when a kid dies and "floats" its a metaphor for not telling anybody and living life with a dead childhood and how theres thousands that go unnoticed (all the dead children floating around pennywises "house"),remember pennywise is possibly a metaphor for the fear of speaking out. Why i think this is because the brother with the stutter was making mock sewer lines to find his brother (metaphorically still bringing up what he knows about him so much later) and his dad tells him "HES DEAD LEAVE IT BE. Now hurry clean this up and dont let your mother see it(i think he even says "she'd die")" thats why the brother has a stutter cause he stayed quiet and didn't tell his mom.. until he vows to stick with the girl to the end (he loses his stutter when he vows to stick with her all the way to the end because he doesn't want to see another kid "die" like his little brother. So he believes her and is trying to spread awareness about needing to help her to the kids while the whole time they all become skeptical at one point or another and wants to back out), and then theres a scene where the girl shows the kids her bathroom covered in blood not thinking they would see it(understand/believe her) but they did see it (understand/believe her)and their first instict is to clean it up (hide the truth) but in a later scene shes in the bathroom and blood starts leaking again (it will always follow unless confronted) one more important scene is when the girl gets seperated the clown has her alone and makes her give up (kills her) but the boy with the stutter refused to give up and kissed her (helped her through by believing her) and helped her defeat the clown ( her fear of speaking up) and also all the kids with red balloons had parents that gave off bad vibes, when the fat kid is in the library red balloons go by and the librarian looks at him crazy and then intimidates him and says he should be outside playing because its summer and i think the kid wanted to be out playing but he says he rather stay in the library in a broken voice. All metaphors for the type of intimidation they use. Stutter kids dad=hide this from your mother. Fat kids mother= chases him out begging not to go face his fears (tell someome). The girls dad=physically threatening her. The black kids new caretaker=tells him hes wrong and places hand on shoulder. And in one more scene i cant remember the details of very well i think the bully was also a rapist cause he chases one of the kids then disappears and theres red balloons. Now i know i read a lot into it but does anyone think this might be a double meaning cause everuone i tried explaing to thought i was crazy
