After going through the shootout, drag racing, plane crash, dam crash, face and hydroelectric engine friction and friction from the beginning to the end, seeing the T800 played by the governor, saying goodbye to the whole series with the same lens as in Terminator 2, I think, This is Schwarzenegger's best curtain call, and the Terminator series is a fairly qualified end (of course, the power of capital can bring everything back to life, but that's a story later).
What should a movie do if it comes first, "Terminator: Dark Fate" is facing this problem. After all, the first two works of Terminator can be called famous in film history, and the works of the great director Cameron in his playing years, such a prestigious IP has brought more or less pressure to the subsequent sequels. From Terminator 3, By Terminator 2018, and then Terminator Genesis, word of mouth and box office have been declining. In this comparison, this work is still a qualified sequel, because it is very clear about its strengths and weaknesses.
What do you do when you can't really write a script?
First of all, there's nothing TNT can't handle, if there is, blow it up twice.
Yes, the beginning of this work is a suffocating action scene, without any delay, to explain the background and foreshadowing that there is nothing to explain, and directly use the gunpowder-flavored shootout and the creative new Terminator REV-9. Tell the audience that my film is a refreshing action film, and it's over!
At this point, it's the truth, it's really cool (but it's not as simple as it is literally).
Secondly, as a current Hollywood film, if you don't do something politically correct, you are embarrassed to say hello to the same schedule, and if you shout loudly, maybe you can get a good reputation. This kind of taste that caters to mainstream values is very explicit (please forgive me for saying the word explicit, mainly because it is too explicit, so I want to emphasize it) In fact, the entire series of Terminator orthodox works are depicting the style of the big heroine. One can see it in Sarah Connor, a woman who has a place in film history, and then the female version of Terminator TX in Terminator 3 is also a bright spot. As for this work, the guardian sent back - female, the plot axis in the team - female, more obviously, the movie emphasizes that the role of the heroine is no longer to give birth to a savior, but to stand up by herself Being a savior, the obvious meaning is to emphasize that the main value of women is not reflected in fertility, but the realization of their own value (I think this is a bit of expressing dissatisfaction with the setting of the story in Terminator 1 - Sarah Connor's The setting is the mother of future human leader John Connor, please! Can't the setting of Cameron's big heroine explain his point of view?). There is no problem with the display of values, but I think it should be reflected in a less explicit way. In this regard, Western commercial directors still don’t know what it means to be implicit.
The title of the Terminator, as the name suggests, the image of the Terminator is the core selling point, and what are the orthodox works that we can still remember?
The ruthless Schwarzenegger-500.....wrong, it's a T800. I remember when I was a child, I saw the T800 dig out the eyeball to show the robot eye. When I cut the arm to check the hydraulic arm, I was facing a bloody human body. Organization, and the gleaming metal inside, I still remember what I shouted—
"The early realization of the film classification system is a huge benefit to the development of the domestic film industry..."
What am I talking about.
And the T-1000 in Terminator 2 is another image that can be recorded in film history, a liquid metal robot. When seeing the flowing metal on the screen at that time, people must have a lot of surprised eyes and exclamations.
Imagination, imagination, the explosion of imagination makes this image, in my opinion, an evil work of art, beautiful.
Subsequent TX and T-3000 can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
And when it comes to this REV-9, the setting itself is a tribute to Terminator 1 and 2, and the creativity is very flavorful. Simply put, it combines T-800 and T-1000 into one. It is equivalent to one machine and two machines, and it can be split if necessary. Another change is that this Terminator, when he talks too much, occasionally spit out a sentence, it can also become a cold joke.
From the above-mentioned aspects, it can be seen that the director of this work is still very clear about what he can do and what he cannot do, so this work is still a qualified commercial blockbuster.
But a commercial blockbuster is hard to make my eyes red.
This film is actually a tribute to and farewell to the T800.
In the film, both the sunglasses that Arnold did not wear and the unconventional phrase "I will not be back" indicate that this is by no means a simple tribute, but a farewell.
Seeing the memories of childhood and seeing the image that accompanied us from childhood to our true destination and destination, isn't it a gratifying thing for fans?
When Schwarzenegger's T-800 is about to stop functioning, the camera shifts to his electronic view of the mission target, Sarah Connor, and then the screen goes black and shrinks to a red dot until it disappears. This shot is a replica of the last scene of the T-800 in Terminator 2! The T-800 who killed John died at the moment, like his predecessors, heroically, at this moment, the T-800 died like a human being like the character in Terminator 2. In this work, T-800 has a family, but he is questioning, questioning whether it is love, he is feeling guilty, feeling guilty about Sarah Connor, and at the last moment, this marks the image of T-800 on the screen At the last moment of the show, he lived and died like a human being.
This work seems to feature a young new leader, Daniel Ramos, as the protagonist. In fact, this is a tribute to fans who use Schwarzenegger's T-800 as the hidden protagonist. Its fundamental purpose is to give To the true ending of the Terminator, let the image of T-800 enter history in the most perfect state.
From this perspective, Terminator: Dark Fate is a success.
When the Terminator's music sounded, Arnold's stern eyes remained the same.
The mission has been completed, protect human beings!
