If Terminator 1 is a classic, then Terminator 2 Judgment Day is legendary. I think Terminator 2 is a rare sequel that surpasses the first one. The commercial nature of Terminator 1 is indeed obvious. So Judgment Day has been improved in terms of themes and connotations at a very high level. The second generation still applies the time paradox of 1, and this time Skynet sent a more advanced liquid Terminator T-1000, ready to return to John Connor's childhood and kill him before he becomes the leader.

T800 understood his mission and his identity. As an executor, he could only choose to self-destruct. John treats T800 as a father. He drags T800 to order not to leave. T800 did not say so blankly why? In the time of protecting and learning John, T800 has an unchangeable destiny. But he slowly perceives the most precious human emotions, sincerity and trust, affection and friendship with his body without feeling. He used to not understand pain and emotions. At the final moment of separation, T800 said that he understood why humans cry and wiped away the tears from Little John’s face. After bidding farewell to John and Sarah, he grasped the lift lock tightly. His eyes were still firm as a Terminator. As Sara pressed the lift lock button, T800 slowly melted into the molten steel. Before it melted, T800 stretched out his right hand and raised his last thumb high—— He made the gesture that he didn't understand. This scene has also become the eternal classic lens of the Terminator series, deeply imprinted in the minds of countless sci-fi fans.
