The tragedy of the doomsday is the most heroic fairy tale that people write for their own ending.

When "Terminator 2" was introduced, China should have been in an era when there was a video recorder at home or a video room with various purposes, pure or impure, outside the home. Fortunately, my family used to make home appliances a long time ago, so I belonged to the one that bought the strap and took it home to watch. I was only about six or seven years old, and I watched a lot of blockbuster movies at that time, but when I count them down, the only one that makes me reluctant to turn out to watch it several times a year is "Terminator 2". In addition to the reason why the film itself belongs to the ranks of high-quality products, there is also the fact that my dad not only looks like but also looks like Arnold, but he is not as big as him. (Especially the evil laugh in the underground gun store~~)

By the way, after the first episode, the big guys know what happened. Probably because the first episode is indeed too early, and the frame-by-frame shooting technique is still used, it seems to be a bit old now. In addition, the whole film deliberately pursues dark and cold tones in lighting, which may seem to cause visual inconsistency. Comfortable, so later generations talk about the first episode relatively less. And the second episode, in that era, is just like "Avatar" for now, it has created two miracles in a career (maybe there will be another miracle) in a lifetime, Cameron is mighty! Movies like "Terminator 2" and "Titanic", even if they are only released now, they will easily defeat any opponent.

However, as a senior movie fan, although the technological breakthrough is an exciting thing, but I personally watch movies more attention to the story itself. So "Terminator" and "Avatar", I will still choose the former one. "Terminator 2" has delicate texture, humanistic thinking, the plot is not procrastinated, the scene is grand but not empty, the smile is moderate but not superficial, and the lines are exquisite... I can't hide the beautiful words when I say it. . It's written this time, I want to look it up again.

When I was in college, the professional teacher used the cool blue tone that is common in this film as an example of the use of color in film and television works, which is quite in place. In the city, it is bleak white, cold blue, or flame orange. In the escape passage, the deserts filled with yellow sand in the sky again exaggerated the mood of doomsday, among which cold blue and desolate yellow are particularly prominent. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the third and fourth episodes of Fanwai (I have not classified these two parts as orthodox). The third episode has no uniform tone at all-if you say yes, then I think there is only A sense of bluntness; the fourth part is slightly better, but the whole follows the mainstream of "Transformers" and has no special features. Cameron, as a discerning director, thanked him for taking a short lifeline for "Terminator". After the two episodes, it is okay for future generations to shoot. If the filming is broken, it is fine for me. I am guarding my two episodes. Just a baby~ The

whole film has also made a group of actors. However, the so-called master brings in the door, and the practice lies in the individual. A few years later, we heard that Arnold became the governor~ Robert played Elvis's father~ Ai Fulong had nowhere to go to Japan to become a second-rate singer~ I couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, we were stunned to the point where only a piece of snowflakes left after the subtitles rolled, and we grew up and left the campus unknowingly. Missed my videotape, nor did I see my ignorant innocence. In 1997, the judgment day did not come; in 2000, the end did not come. The earth is still turning, and life continues. It's just that there is no such thing in that era, and it is not known: melting glaciers, tsunami disasters, earth and sky collapse, soaring oil prices, constant hunger...The shadow of the doomsday begins to hang over again, 2012. Maybe it will not be destroyed, maybe most people's lives are not so thrilling. The robot is too far away from us. The theme of life is the terrifying T-1000 in people's minds, threatening it with various looks. Although "everything is in your own hands", if you fail, you also want to have a heroic ending. The tragedy of the doomsday is the most heroic fairy tale that people write for their own ending.
