In 1984, the Terminator directed by James Cameron made its debut on the screen. The Terminator used his sci-fi special effects to win $70 million in the box office. The following year, the Terminator won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film. And the T-800 Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is always wearing a black leather jacket, wearing a pair of black sunglasses that never reflect light, holding a Winchester M1887 shotgun, and always expressionless. The classic image is 30 years old in the hearts of the audience.
The time paradox used by Terminator 1 constructed the world view of the entire story. In the future controlled by the mechanical army led by Skynet, human leader John Connor led humans to resist constantly. In order to kill humans, Skynet killed the Terminator T-800. Return to the past to hunt down Sarah Connor, John's mother. John also sent his subordinate Kyle Rees back to the past to protect Sara. During the journey, Reese fell in love with the young Sara, became pregnant with John Connor, and guided him to become a human leader on the path of John's growth...
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. John also sent a modified T-800 to protect John, the former cold killer T800, as a terminator, he only knows how to execute according to orders, killing and terror, their birth is the executor. When T800 met John, John opened his learning program, and T800 began to learn how to learn. John taught him how to laugh, how to make a thumbs-up gesture, how to be more like a "person"... the birth of destroying Skynet After the research institute, T1000 was finally destroyed by the high temperature molten steel in the steelmaking furnace. 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.
Whether it is the special effects technology of the Terminator or the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, they will fade with the development of technology and the passage of time. , But, Terminator, it will always be a shining jewel in the science fiction world.
