A classic beyond the times, my sci-fi totem

If the first generation is an unexpected success, then the second generation stands on the shoulders of giants and pushes this success to the extreme. This is also a rare Hollywood sequel beyond the predecessor, a model of action science fiction, even if it is Looking at it now, you may not think this is a 1991 movie.

Some people say that Cameron is always ahead of the current movie era, which is very obvious in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day".

The movie style continues the dark and doomsday atmosphere of a generation. The unparalleled sound and light effects make the movie full of texture. It is one of the must-have movies for DVD enthusiasts back then. The first time I watched it was on a DVD player at home. Since I was little, I can say without exaggeration that I have watched this "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" no less than a hundred times. I can recite many lines in the movie. This movie has an extraordinary in my life. Meaning, it is like a totem, calling me in a certain sense.

The plot of the movie inherits a generation, and further explores the thinking about whether robots are life, and discusses whether robots as terminator can understand and possess humanity, which raises the theme of the film to a more serious and deeper category of social science and philosophy. Through the film describing the interaction between T-800 and Connor, they gradually built up their emotions, allowing Connor to find the shadow of his father from this robot, and finally T-800 said the phrase "I now know why you guys cry, But that is something I will never be able to do." And through self-destructing such a low reversal ending, the audience's emotions reached a climax. When the ending film terminator finally gave a thumbs up, moved tears filled his eyes.

The details of the film are very real and rigorous. For example, the T-1000 was stuck with a pistol when passing through a fence, because the pistol was not part of its body; when the Terminator appeared, the entire space was replaced, so it was on the ground. A pit is left; the clothes are not worn because the clothes will be torn in time and space.

Schwarzenegger is more mature in this movie. Although his figure is not at his peak, I personally like it more and look more symmetrical. By the way, in that era, Schwarzenegger was one of the boys at the time. This kind of special existence is the same for me. Robert Patrick, the actor of T-1000, also played very well. There are not a few lines in the whole movie, but only through body language and demeanor he interprets a ruthless killer incisively and vividly, cold and focused, like liquid metal on the outside and inside.

    I wish I can have my own terminator. He can learn human emotions, and have you forgotten it?

    Little John was really really good-looking, but unfortunately he was immediately disillusioned by reality. Many classic shots, true childhood series. "Now I know why you cry, but this is something I will never learn." But you learned to laugh because of him.
