Stuttering character in IT (2017) So recently I finally got around to watching IT (2017). I'm not going to post major spoilers or anything, but if anyone else here has seen the movie (incredible movie btw, a work of art) one of the main characters has a stutter. There's one scene where he's walking down the street trying to pronounce words but gets frustrated. This guy is the most relatable person I've ever see in a movie, holy crap. Throughout the film I was thinking "wow, I actually relate to this guy 200%" If you haven't seen the movie I'd highly recommend. It's not often stutterers are portrayed in movies or something like so it's cool to see there. Can't wait to see Chapter 2.
