One night in the summer vacation of the third grade of elementary school, I rolled on the mat and watched foreign films on the local stage. On the TV screen, a truck fell from the bridge, hit the wall and burst into flames. Then a humanoid silhouette composed of liquid emerged from the flame, slowly turning into the appearance of a policeman.
The special effects of "Terminator 2" are nothing today, but I was so shocked by this picture that I was breathless, and I even wiped my eyes several times and thought I was dazzled. Can movies still do this? It's incredible!
, the mercury-filled robot, appeared in my nightmares many times later, including the moment when he pierced milk to kill and emerged from the floor. Reading in college, I learned that Cameron’s earliest inspiration for creating Terminator came from being chased by a skeleton in a dream, so I feel honored to share the experience of genius. Since its birth in 1984,
has produced 6 Terminator movies in 35 years. During this period, it has undergone a soft restart and a hard restart. Therefore, different main creations, different world views, and different timelines have made the logic fragmented. All movie guides will tell you how to separate them, but I still stubbornly treat them as stories in the same universe.
Their cause and effect may not fit together, and their tonality may be uneven, but together, they may be able to tell us more clearly what kind of world a terminator world is. One of the laws of
these movies is that the good terminator is almost standing still, the bad terminator is always being updated. Of course, the bad ones must be stronger than the good ones to watch, but we also ask, what is the end?
This "Terminator: Dark Destiny" shortly before the beginning of an intriguing stage: the inefficient brother is robbed of work by mechanical automation.
So, do machines dominate mankind really by means of nuclear bomb explosions and network seizure of power? With the acquiescence or even promotion of human beings, aren't they replacing human beings step by step? The question of
got more answers after the T-800 appeared, which is also the most interesting setting in the whole film. We have seen him develop self-awareness and humanity, fulfilling his duties as a husband and father in every possible way and without flaws.
may feel warm or funny at first glance, but it will still shudder when you think about it. A robot designed only to kill people, an artificial intelligence whose appearance and weight are easy to reveal, but does a better job than most family men.
In the past, we only felt that machines outperformed humans in terms of combat power and computing power, but now they are breaking us in the emotional field. Is there anything else we are good at? So much so that this big guy said that human civilization has a 72% probability of collapsing, and I suspect that he is appeasing us.
So the bad terminator that has fallen from the sky from generation to generation, is it Skynet or the Legion? no difference. They are all spokespersons of time. Unreasonable, uninfluenced, unstoppable, but symbolizes the same end in the future.
Of course you can crush them again and again, blow them up, melt them, and the Judgment Day will be delayed again and again. For example, if it weren't for Kyle Rees and Sarah Connor in 1984, we would have been living in the end of the machine in 2019.
But they will become more and more advanced and powerful, and the forces they represent have just changed their names and made a comeback. There is no end, no exceptions. Judgment Day is waiting not far from the long river of time. This is the only direction of technological development, at least in that universe.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who appears in every movie (yes, don’t tell me which one is not), is a sad face trapped in this see-saw game. We watched him from his age and strength, to gray beard, from live action, to CG assistance, constantly jumping between the identity of assassin and protector, back against time and fate.
And this time, he finally put down the sunglasses that marked his identity, and said the phrase "I won't be back" that we had never heard before but knew that he would say one day. Is it sadness, reluctance, or relief?
For so many years, we have watched him die continuously, in the hydraulic press, in the steelmaking furnace, in the air-raid shelter, in the skynet base, in the magnetic field, at the bottom of the dam. And this time, the old Sisyphus finally didn't have to push the endless stone anymore. He removed the heavy weight of fate and could get up and leave. At the end of the
movie, the survivors rushed towardsIf there is a holiday in the distance, new Terminators will be on the scene one after another, the crisis will not stop coming, the world seems to have not changed, and it needs more rescues, if not countless times. But no matter how many more battles, the burly and exhausted old man can finally be let go.
is like every part of this series. This sequel once again dug countless new holes, but it commendably draws a moving end. The old man with steel and iron, the red light in his eyes dimmed for the last time, and he exited safely.
