Terminator 2 has been watched a long time ago, I am most impressed with the liquid robot. Maybe I watched it for too long, and I was a little young at that time, so I didn't have any impression of other things.
I watched it again this time. Compared with Terminator 1, the most impressive thing about Terminator 2 is the advancement of movie special effects or computer technology. This is obvious to all, 1 is a bit rough, but 2 many shootouts and blasting shots must be perfect. a lot of. The robot update is also amazing, let alone that year, even now, the audience is not impressed by the invincible liquid robot. This kind of imagination combined with good technology is really beyond our reach. Arnold’s style has changed a bit, of course, this is related to the aesthetics of different times, 2 has been closer to the aesthetics of people nowadays. Of course Arnold is still cool and handsome, and every posture in his eyes is very accent. Especially when he was driving a motorcycle and chasing a truck, he was driving the motorcycle while playing with one hand, so handsome. Of course, this film also praised the little Zhengtai. Although he is self-harming now, he was really amazing at the time. Speaking of acting, I personally think that his performance in this movie is a bit erratic. And it's Sarah's arm, my goodness, that line was trained for her. The main line of the Terminator series of pursuit and protection will not change. There is a touching line of love in Terminator 1 that supports the entire Terminator story. Is there another clue in Terminator 2? Yes, let's not talk about love this time, let's talk about life, ha. Arnold still plays T800 this time, but the T800 has been modified by humans. His task is to protect the young John Connor. In addition to watching the fighting scenes, the focus is on the learning process of the robot. The T8's CPU has a neural network processing program and is a computer capable of learning, but Skynet presets it as read-only. Skynet really came here, ha. So Connor and the others lifted the T8's scalp, opened the skull, took out the chip, and reset the settings, so that T8 has the ability to learn. Changed from being read-only to being able to learn John Connor has been teaching him some values in the human world and some methods of interpersonal communication in the process of getting along with T800. If Ending 1 is a love line, then Ending 2 can be said to be a humanistic line. Therefore, "Terminator 2" also gave Anno more room for performance, because in addition to the vivid robots, it also showed the gradual transformation of T8 in the learning process. It is very hierarchical and is a big bright spot in the performance. Regarding the learning and transformation of T8, there are several obvious and impressive points.
oath
T8 was about to kill someone who wanted to help Connor, but Connor stopped and blamed him for almost killing that person. T8 naturally replied: Of course, I am the Terminator. (What a succinct answer, I was thinking while laughing.) Connor started teaching T8, telling him not to kill at will. T8 asked why. In fact, Connor couldn't explain it clearly. He kept talking about why, but it was not possible. In the end, he could only say, trust me in this regard. This is the most basic code of conduct that human society agrees with. (At this time, T8 is always asking for rejection. It is expressionless, and the standard procedure response is very funny.) (Actually, I don’t like this design very much. Those two people are kind to help Connor, but Connor is not at the beginning. It's a bit teasing. This doesn't fit my values. Let's talk about it.) At the entrance of the hospital, Connor asked T8 to park, asking T8 to promise him not to kill, and he even swears. T8 was naturally at a loss, the machine didn't know how to swear, there was no such setting in the program, and he did it wisely. Sometimes I wonder, which oath and procedure are more reliable? hehe. T8 swears exactly as he did without understanding. He immediately fulfilled his vow at the door. He shot the guard and wounded his foot. When he turned around, he said to Connor cutely: He is still alive. Maybe he just followed Connor's request. Connor ordered him not to kill, but he also had a certain degree of understanding of this oath, whether it was for the content of the oath or the meaning of the oath itself. After that, T8 did not kill anyone. When Connor rushed to Dyson's place, a flash of light flashed in the car, and he realized the reason why he couldn't kill. "We have feelings, we will be hurt, and we will be afraid." I think what this young man has experienced during this period has given him a good experience of various emotions. After T8, Connor's "requirement" was more firmly implemented. Finally, at Dyson, T8 solemnly swears to Connor to let him rest assured that he will not kill anyone. At this point, I think T8 has fully understood the meaning of life to mankind, and then he has also learned to understand the meaning of life to himself.
Tears
Speaking of tears, I think of "Green Snake". I don't remember the plot anymore, I only remember that Xiaoqing shed tears at the end. She couldn't believe it. She was excited and happy to touch the salty liquid flowing out of her eyes, and couldn't help but smile. "I will cry." Maybe it made her feel that she was finally a person, not a demon anymore. Connor and T8 rescued Sarah from the hospital, but Sarah strongly criticized Connor's actions in the car, and Connor shed bitter tears. T8 noticed and turned back to ask Connor: What happened to your eyes. Connor answered that it was nothing. Maybe this is the first time T8 saw tears, he still doesn't know what it is. After that, Connor and T8 drilled under the car to repair the car, and Connor chatted with him about his parents. Connor said that after seeing Sarah crying many times, he felt that Sarah must still love Reese. Suddenly T8 asked, why are you crying? He knows what crying is, and then wants to understand the reason for crying. It is a veritable learning computer. We have to learn from him and live and learn from him, haha. Connor didn't know how to answer again. He told T8 that he didn't know why people were crying, just because of some sad emotions. Connor asked T8 if he understood. T8 naturally didn't understand, but he would understand soon. When he continued to protect Connor with his crippled body and spare batteries, I don’t think he could simply say that he was a robot and would not be afraid of death. He just followed the procedure. The T8CPU has already installed his feelings for Connor. I believe that at this time, he was protecting Connor's mother and son out of his own will. Above the flames, T8 faced Connor, who left him in tears, and said, "I know why you are crying now." He gently touched Connor's line of tears with his fingers, "But this is something I can never do. Arrived." In fact, T8 did it, his CPU, no, his heart was in tears, because he was moved and felt sad, because he was also reluctant to leave and was reluctant to leave. I think he also deserves the meaning of life, what this moment means to him. Compared with those false tears, true heart is more valuable. T8 can experience feelings, in addition to Connor's persuasive temptation, and more importantly, the day and night with Connor. In the beginning, Connor quickly accepted T8. It felt like he had forgotten that he was a machine. He always told him what he thought, maybe this young man was too lonely, how eager for someone to listen. When Sarah wanted to destroy the T8's CPU, Connor's first reaction was not to kill him. Sarah corrected that T8 should use "it" instead of "him." The experience with Connor's mother and son made him and Connor's mother and son like family members, and he realized the responsibility even more. Even Sarah, who was so resistant to T8 at first, made a crazy decision when she saw T8 playing with Connor. Connor and T8 is like father and son, brothers, and friends, making T8 no longer a machine, but a "person". I always feel that T8 should have a name that belongs to him at the end.
The study of mission T8 allowed him to accept human values, get along with humans, and watch human lives. Robots who are good at rational analysis stand on the side of humans, consider problems, and make their own decisions. He has a sense of mission, not only to protect Connor, but also to change the future and protect mankind. He told Sarah the details of Dyson and Judgment Day. When he and Connor rushed to prevent Sarah from killing Dyson, he once hinted to the anxious Connor that as long as Dyson was killed, nuclear war could be stopped and the destiny of mankind could be changed. Although the price is to kill the kind Dyson, T8 obviously has made a comparison in his heart, and it can be said that it is proposed for the overall consideration of mankind. The confirmation of this value system in his heart directly determined that between himself and the future of mankind, he chose mankind. The last scene is still fresh in everyone's memory. A robot sacrifices itself for humans. After the liquid robot was terminated by T8, Sarah said that everything was over, once again showing that she had completely accepted T8 and no longer regarded it as a machine, but a living organism. However, unexpectedly, T8 proposed to end itself. When T8 pointed at her CPU, and when T8 put the controller in Sarah's hand, she was stunned. He had no idea that a robot would behave like this. During the time with Connor and his mother, he learned a lot. People's life, getting along, people's emotional interaction, and the friendship with Connor, let him understand the meaning of life for mankind, and get to know mankind from a new perspective. In his database before, human beings were only the object of the end for him. Even after the program is modified, protecting Connor, a human being, is just for him to complete the task and follow the program. But the choice made at this moment is a self-conscious choice. He knows what he is doing, why he wants to do it, and the meaning of doing it. He has regarded himself as a part of mankind, from ending mankind as a matter of course to protecting mankind consciously. When Connor recalled T8, there was an inner monologue: This extravagant hope was passed to me by the Terminator, because if a machine can learn the value of human beings, maybe we can too. This is a meaningful sentence, which Cameron wants to pass on to us. The robot has learned to be a human in the movie, and we humans have to learn such a robot to reflect our own value. Perhaps this is also Cameron's message to the critical human world.
There are two versions of the movie. I think there is nothing wrong with the director's version. Cameron seems to end the series and tells people to learn to respect and accept each life equally, cherish every day's life, and reflect the value of human beings. In this way, there may be no war and no destruction. But some people feel that it is too warm and inconsistent with the tone of the entire series. The company is naturally unwilling to stage such an ending, because they do not want to end their financial path.
What has humanity experienced?
Perfect yourself and go to the Pure Land.
Probably Cameron wants to use science fiction to create a real proposition
and share with everyone his reflections on humans.
