Many years later, when I looked at this movie again, I felt a lot of feelings in my heart, and I deeply understood the reason why I was scared to talk nonsense that year.
The film created a strong sense of apocalypse at the beginning: a gray city, turbulent traffic, distorted images, heavy background music, suddenly the camera changes, the music disappears, the city becomes ruins, and the park becomes a grave. In the field, Terminators with a cold red light in their eyes stepped on Skeleton Mountain in groups. So far, in my opinion, Cameron doesn't need to shoot anymore, and this set of symbolic shots alone is enough to make him famous and proud.
In the following story, the young JONH and his friends are riding bicycles on the highway. The famous "sweet child'o mine" by G&R is heard from the portable stereo. I have to say that 96 In the days when I was madly obsessed with gunslings, the VCD of this movie was played on my DVD player no less than 50 times in order to listen to the intermittent episodes that did not add up to a minute. It must be admitted that this car chasing scene, as well as a set of car chasing scenes including a helicopter at the climax of the movie, are milestone masterpieces in the history of film, their fierceness, tension, and even the actor's coolness. Few movies can match this. In this short ten minutes of chasing the car, Arnold showed his domineering and cool show enough, especially his action of changing bullets with one hand and sniping the enemy. It has become a classic on screen. In the third episode, the director seems to have deliberately paid tribute to its previous work. Similar two sets of shots appeared, except that the driver was replaced by Arnold, but because the imitation was too obvious, even the time of appearance was the same as the previous one. The similarity in the middle is similar, so I once suspected that the so-called tribute was just my wishful thinking. In fact, the director of T3 can't compare with Cameron in terms of imagination.
When JONH’s mother SHARA appeared on the stage, the story became truly exciting. From the beginning of the first episode, a young and beautiful girl serving dishes in a restaurant was transformed into a muscular iron-blooded female warrior. She was in the mental hospital every day. The doctor in charge did the right thing. He erected the iron bed and dangled his arms when he had nothing to do. After getting a chance to escape, he would not hesitate to beat the guard who had bullied him to death, and then rendezvous with Arnold. , Went straight to the suburbs, took out a cellar of munitions, and plunged into this fiery battle. At this point, I suddenly remembered that a sentence appeared in the Boli of a certain friend: If you have a wife like this, what can your husband ask for? I think JONH must have this thought in his heart at this time: If there is a mother like this, what do you want? In fact, this was confirmed in the third episode later. When the grown-up JONH met his future wife, he said: You remind me of my mother! It shows that his admiration for his mother is like a surging river.
SHARA and Arnold, this is what I personally think is the best couple and best partner on the screen. Although Arnold is a robot, I always believe that the director’s intention is to let him replace the one in the first episode who was given birth to JONH. The hapless guy sent by JONH (I really don’t know if JONH would go crazy if he knew his father’s true identity). There is a set of shots that can explain the problem. The people who are tortured by SHARA in the mental hospital are not like ghosts or ghosts. When he was a human, the phantom of his father appeared, encouraging him to stand up and go to fight, "Like a soldier!" After speaking, the phantom disappeared and Arnold appeared in the corridor. It can be said that SHARA was reborn under the encouragement of her father, and Arnold was the first man she met after she was born. Of course, the premise of this is that the guard who bullied her in the hospital is not considered a man ( The reason is simple, he is not the protagonist). From then on, the two of them (or one person and one machine) will fight side by side, sharing life and death. Here is a detail. In the third episode, JONH said to Arnold: "I keep you "Be my father", this sentence reasonably explained that at the end of the second episode, when Arnold was about to destroy himself, JONH's hysteria erupted. If you have always regarded Arnold simply as a robot, This kind of relationship is too much, even if they live together day and night, born to death, but the time is too short after all, at best they are comrades and comrades, and with this sentence, everything is reasonable. The pain of bereavement, life is not as good as death, it is understandable. , By the way, I explained clearly the mystery of the tacit understanding between Arnold and SHARA. SHARA needs a partner who is as hard as iron and cold, invulnerable to weapons, and capable of stamina. Arnold also happens to need a firm-willed, reckless, and will not drag him. The partner on the hind legs, although there is no love between them (but this is not good), but there is a feeling that transcends love in it, not to mention that the average couple may not have the tacit understanding of them.
At this time, Arnold has evolved from a simple and cold robot that only knows to perform tasks, a "Terminator" into a flesh and blood person. He has completed an evolution from the first to the third episode. After watching the first two episodes, Watching the third episode, I can especially appreciate this change. In the third episode, Arnold made a joke of himself at the beginning. When the stripper refused Arnold’s request, he said, "Say to my hand." Arnold did not hesitate to hold his hand tightly and said, "Give me your clothes." When he went out, he took out a pair of super hilarious sunglasses and put it on. It won't be directly damaged when stealing a car. Circuit, instead of using the method JONH taught him in the second episode, he found the key from the sun visor. When killing someone, he would not shoot blankly, but said before shooting: Farewell. BABY! Here, the Terminator in the third episode is not the same as the one in the second episode, so the director asked Arnold to explain it himself: Since T-800 has left a very deep impact on JONH, so in the T-850 Some things that will make JONH feel cordial are written in the program. In this way, Arnold’s image is more complete and plump, and it’s easier to evoke the knowing smile of T2 fans. Besides, this is originally a commercial film, not a scientific documentary, and it cannot be studied with such a rigorous attitude. Otherwise, it would be too boring.
At the end of the story, everyone came to a factory again, T-1000 was pushed down the furnace, and the ashes were wiped out. Arnold slowly sank into the furnace, and made a "very awesome" gesture for the last time. So far, Arnold has finally finished. This changed from a robot to a human, because in the next third episode, Arnold is no longer a pure robot. At first, he can make jokes and swear words. Arnold gained Nirvana in the fire.
There is no doubt that the T series is the most successful action/sci-fi film in the history of film. Among them, T2 is particularly important. The director and screenwriter skillfully use symbolic metaphors in the film to make such a seemingly shallow commercial blockbuster rise. When it comes to discussing human nature and destiny, I have to admire: People made such a movie more than ten years ago, and Lao Mei has been ahead of us in movies for more than 20 years!
