Deprecated shaders, like thin_film and composite are not ported to the Node Material. You can still access them in the legacy material (Create > Extensions > Plugins > Arnold material (legacy) from the Material Manager). But the recommended way is to use the Thin Film settings in the standard_surface shader.

Thank you very much for your answer peter horvath, I understand the film Settings in the standard_surface shader, but I can't add noise as a change!1.pngThin film nodeThin film nodeMissing film nodeMissing film node

You can still connect a noise shader to standard_surface.thickness. The only difference is that it was a multiplier in the old shader with [0-1] range. While in standard_surface, it's an actual thickness value in nanometers, so you might need to multiply the noise, like 4-500x.
