conveying ideas and creating scenes, female power and blood shock empathy
In 1984, "Terminator" came out, at that time it was just a tentative science fiction novel. By 2019, everyone is already talking about the threat that artificial intelligence may bring. As a pioneer in the film industry and a pioneer in the development of the industry, James Cameron anticipated and witnessed human beings getting closer and closer to the "dark destiny", and used movies to warn the world, just as he did in the handed down classic "Avatar" The same.
's new film "Terminator: Dark Fate" was inspired by a motorcycle ride between Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He felt that the T-800 in "Terminator" was a killing machine with a "mood feeling". In "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" he began to learn to experience human emotions. This time he wanted to create an autonomous Terminator with his own value system, just like in the film he said to Sarah Connor: "I will It is my choice to help you protect that girl."
Cameron believes that the development of technology and artificial intelligence is full of unknown fears. Maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years, artificial intelligence will eventually develop higher intelligence than us. At that time, we cannot guarantee that it will not do anything to harm us. As Sarah said in a line: "In this world, everyone leaves a mile-wide digital footprint." We live in the most "concerned" era in human history. Surveilled and existed in the "1984" world. We buy technology to make our lives better, but in fact it is a strict review. Through complex behavioral algorithms, we can learn more about us, such as obtaining big data of our consumer information, or the behavioral patterns of enemies. Cameron brought this theme into the movie, making it more than a fierce action movie. At the same time as the sea, land and air full three-dimensional hardcore battle, he told the audience why all this happened.
After watching the film, many viewers jokingly called it "the story of three women and a robot saving the world." Female power is also a part of Cameron’s emphasis on conveying his thoughts. He felt that there is a difference between female fighters and male fighters. Male fighters can be killers, but female fighters defend lives and they will not become "terminators." ", but to be a "guardian." Because women create life, this is what Sarah Connor said in the second part: "You can make a hydrogen bomb, but you don't understand what it is like to create life." Cameron believes in the power of women, and humans need to abandon their thinking. To dominate and be aggressive, this is the characteristic of male energy,It is the so-called "Yang" energy. He wants to develop more "Yin" energy: self-nurturing, cooperation, and the cultivation of personal emotional elements. In this way, as a society, we can move forward. This point of view has been used throughout Cameron's movies, including "Avatar" and the much-anticipated "Avatar 2". So it is not difficult to understand why there are three female fighters on the battlefield, still so heroic and good at fighting, so handsome that men have no place to show themselves.
Technology always serves the story but also praises Lee Ang. Now is the best time for Arnold to say goodbye.
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is the beginning of CG application in movies. James Cameron has been in the film for more than 30 years. He has always been a pioneer in trying the industry's top technologies. The movies "Titanic", "Avatar", and "Alita: Battle Angel" that he controlled have all reached the pinnacle of special effects, which is amazing. But Cameron, as an artist, also knows that no matter how powerful the visual effects are, he still has to focus on telling good stories, shaping good characters, and writing good film dialogues, and then use technology to support them. Technology will never be more important than stories. .
Each filmmaker uses technology differently, which is very important. The audience will respond, some will like it, and some will dislike it. This is the essence of art. Therefore, Cameron will also praise Li Ang, a Chinese director who is now obsessed with technological revolution: "I admire his pioneering spirit. He is a very, very good artist. His films are very beautiful, as long as they can enhance the art form. , I think they are all great."
Telling good stories and shaping good characters is Cameron’s keynote for "Terminator: Dark Fate". This movie will not only create good characters, but also the soul of the series T- The 800 legendary career has come to an end.
When Schwarzenegger's classic line "I’ll be back" changed to "I won’t be back", the old fans got wet. Cameron said frankly: "I and Arnold think this is the best opportunity to let the Arnold version of the Terminator say goodbye to the audience, and this goodbye must be said with dignity and the process must be very heroic, so that we can be I see emotional fluctuations. Even in the movie he said I won't be back-this is my proposal." The subtitle of the movie
is "Dark Destiny". This is Cameron's purpose for making this film come out. It is about warning. This also echoes the themes of these three "Terminator" movies. The creators should focus not on the conflict between humans and machines, but the conflict between destiny and the philosophy of destiny. What Cameron wants to express is that fate is not necessarily dark, as long as we want, darkness can be avoided. Just like at the end of the movie, Sarah not only decides to become Dani’s protector, but also to be her mentor, teaching her how to resist the crisis.
The movie "Terminator: Dark Destiny" is a large-scale commercial action film. It has the refreshing scenes that a commercial film should have, such as battles from heaven and earth, strong handsome guys, handsome beauties and so on. But he is not just as simple as a general commercial film. Cameron and other creators have endowed it with a lot of philosophies. Cameron frankly said that this is the direction of their efforts and hope the audience can see it.
The sci-fi action film "Terminator: Dark Fate" is produced by James Cameron and directed by Tim Miller. The classics of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger are back, starring Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, and Gabriel Luna, which are currently in theaters nationwide.
