Therefore, "Terminator" is a film that awakens the world’s awareness of this crisis—especially it proposes that the intelligent bodies created by humans (robots, clones, virtual computer worlds...) will eventually get rid of human control. On the contrary, the ultimate proposition of being an enemy is unprecedented in history. It ushered in a new era. Not only since Cameron finished shooting the first episode of "Terminator" in 1984, the second and third episodes met with us in 1991 and 2003 respectively, and movies of similar themes were launched one after another. The most famous is the "The Matrix" trilogy of the Wachowski brothers. The closest to us should be "Mechanical Enemy" starring Will Smith last year. These films either frankly and disrespectfully pointed out the location of the technological crisis in a straightforward manner; or used a metaphorical style to cleanse the fevered brains of human beings. And the origin of all this is the robot called "Terminator".
Now let me put aside these dizzying ethical issues of science and technology and leave it to the scientists. And we just talk about movies about movies.
In the three episodes of "Terminator", it should be the second episode that was widely talked about by Chinese fans. Because the early 90s of the last world was the time when Chinese people just started to obtain foreign language film sources through improper channels. I have a video recorder at home and look around for video tapes. Once a good film is discovered, it will be "one pass ten, ten pass a hundred, and it has become a well-known secret." Now among the 30 or 40-year-old movie fans, there are many people who developed this hobby during that period. . Recalling "Terminator" 2, is actually meeting their own young age. Even today, after we are used to watching the so-called Hollywood blockbusters, we can still feel the visual impact and psychological shock when we watch this film, and there will still be many shots and clips in mind. Excited and moved, this is the success of the second episode of Transcendence as a sci-fi action film.
Since the first episode was filmed relatively early, there were significantly fewer people who watched it. It does not have as many stunts and shows off as the second episode, but most film critics believe that the first episode is more well-made. "It's exciting, with a tight rhythm. It is an action movie that foreshadows the end of the world horror scene and contains adventure stories." In the first episode, the T-800 program is the real "end", not the second episode. "Salvation" in it. As the opening piece of "Terminator", it best fits the original meaning of the title. Arnold's hard face in the film is heart palpitating, and it reads-ruthless! This film not only made Cameron's career flourish, but also basically laid the foundation for Schwarzenegger's later play. It is of decisive significance for both of them.
By the third episode, I didn't have much to say. More and more perfect special effects cannot sublimate the inner quality of the film, and the storyline tends to be single. I still prefer Linda Hamilton to Christana Loken. Maybe it's because I no longer have the same desire for action movies as before, or it may be that I am numb after watching "blockbuster movies". In short, for the third episode, I lost a lot of enthusiasm. However, as an action movie aimed at entertainment and a commercial movie aimed at profit, the third episode is considered a success.
Perhaps, just today, there are two robots from the future back to the present, one is to kill you, the other is you. Because you are the leader of the future human resistance...
"I'll be back." Yes, it will come back. The "Terminator" story will continue, and will the human story be interrupted by it?
