The Confusion of the Terminator Series

Post an article written N years ago. . I am trying to understand myself... the brain is dull and tears are running: I am




more fascinated by this series recently. . The evil Anhui Film and Television does not bring such cuts! ! For example, John Connor, his father, his mother, obviously met each other and didn't do anything. Then the great human leader, little John, was born? ? !



Science fiction bugs are unavoidably small. I don't care about it, but there are obviously problems. . .

Seeing that the third Judgment Day was postponed, the time travel view of the film that had been unclear before the history was indeed rewritten (maybe I was too slow to see it) also made it clear that the existence of parallel universes is recognized,



so that we continue to send Terminators. Isn’t Skynet stupid to go back to the past, because no matter how hard it makes, the reality of humans defeating machines in the universe in which it is located will not be changed, even if John Connor’s mother or himself died before the war, that’s another thing. A cosmic thing. . It is of no avail to Skynet, which has been defeated in the original universe. . .



In fact, when I watched the first movie, I suspected that the film adopted the time concept of Harry Potter 3. That is, going back to the past is also the reason for returning to the current state of the world before the past, such as Harry the day before. When he was saved by himself from the next day, when he returned to the previous day through the time converter on the next day, out of nowhere, it was a little unexplainable. . Anyhow, magic can explain everything. . However, if this is the case among the Terminators, it would have the conditions to form a time paradox. Reese, born in 2008, returned from 2029 to 1984 and met Sarah in 1984. Then S gave birth to John, but I heard rumors that John’s son was born in 2008. It's R. . . In some science fiction novels, the protagonist went back to the past to explore the family history without knowing his father when he was a child, but he met his young mother and made the woman pregnant. . Isn't that the self born by yourself? ! ! Even the new concept composition is involved, but the naive author obviously does not have a perfect view of time and space. "I" When I returned to the Song Dynasty, I saw General Yue Fei writing a poem "Good mountains and rivers are not worth seeing..." Before I could get the next sentence, I blurted out "The horseshoe reminds us to take advantage of the moonlight to return." . Where did the sentence "I" come from? Memorized Yue Fei's poem. . Where did Yue Fei's verses come from? "I" helped. . . In this way, it becomes a chicken and an egg. . . This is very common in science fiction. If there is no parallel universe time machine can not exist. . However, there would be no blockbusters without a time machine. . This is the biggest reason for its existence. . .



All right. . For the time being, think that there are parallel universes. . So obviously more than one parallel universe was created in the film. . Let the original universe be I, the universe of the Terminator in 84 years is II, and the universe of the Terminator in 95 years is III.

If the Terminator who came to 1984 and 1995 was sent by Skynet in Universe I at the same time: the history of II was rewritten from the year 84 to I; and the history of III and I from 84 to 95 have the same history; After 95 years, the history of III and I also took different trajectories,

but I always suspect that T-1000 was sent by Skynet in Universe II. . So. . The structure of the parallel universe is. . . Ah, ah, I don’t want to reason too much. I’m fed up with it. . .



But under the parallel universe theory, Sarah in II has nothing to do with Sarah in I except to give birth to a heroic son. . Although Reese told her that the future leader was named John, that was something in Universe I. . Since he came here in 1984, he has become II. . She couldn't make it necessary to name her son John. . Instead, it makes it easier to find the Terminator who later hunted him down. . .

And Reese from Universe I has a picture of Sarah in Universe II. . This is obviously not true. . What this bridge segment supports is the view of time in Harbin 3. . It's messy. .



In addition, if it is a parallel universe. . John's father can come from the future without being a paradox. . But this is only for the non-I universe. . Where does John of Universe I come from? Sarah, can you explain it to me?



Judgment day cannot be prevented but can only be postponed. Isn't this inevitable after accident? Historical materialism seems to be confirmed. . . However, the film emphasizes that heroes change history. . The stupidest thing is that Skynet thought it would fail if John was killed? Without John, there would definitely be a Jack, Joe or something came out to lead the human beings to resist. . . No matter how smart the machines made in the United States are, there is no chance to learn the Marxist view of society and history. . We are still socialist advanced. . . Poor Skynet

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines quotes

  • [first lines]

    John Connor: [voiceover] The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor, they tried to murder me before I was born, when I was 13 they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming, Judgment Day, the beginning of the war between man and machines. Three billion lives would vanish in an instant, and I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. It hasn't happened, no bombs fell, computers didn't take control, we stopped Judgment Day. I should feel safe, but I don't, so I live off the grid - no phone, no address, no one and nothing can find me. I've erased all connections to the past, but as hard as I try I can't erase my dreams, my nightmares.
