That man, he will never come back

I remember him in The Terminator

The man who was half-naked and half-kneeling on the ground

T800

After a lapse of 35 years, he came back in a real sense again.

It was the same god-like man who brought him here.

James Cameron

But this time, it was a little sad.

I know this is the last time I see him on the big screen.

And with him, Sarah Connor

To watch this movie, there are 2 reasons:

James Cameron re-involves filming on 'Terminator' franchise

Sarah Connor and T800 are back again, how can you not look forward to the scene where the old man and the old lady beat up the robot?

'Dark Fate' follows 'Terminator 2'

The latter Skynet has been destroyed by Sarah Connor.

However, 20 years later, a new batch of Terminators has come continuously.

In the future, Skynet will no longer exist, and human technology will be delayed for decades.

New artificial intelligence emerged, and Skynet did the same:

Legion.

And the background of the era in which this film takes place is also closer to modern times.

At the beginning of the movie, Danny's younger brother loses his job because of the addition of a new batch of robotic tentacles to the factory.

Artificial intelligence is on the rise.

Not long ago, I saw such a rant on the Internet. A policeman wearing an AR helmet checked the bus. After getting on the bus, he made everyone's eyes look at him. After scanning, after reading everyone's information, he got off the bus and left. .

Is artificial intelligence still far from us?

The Skynet and Legion in the movie are all invented by human beings to improve their comprehensive strength and fight against the enemy.

But the end result is the same, rebellion.

There is only a string of codes in the eyes of the machine, only commands and goals, they will not be troubled by emotions, this is their advantage, but also their fatal disadvantage.

Like the brand new type of robot that appears in this film: the REV-9 Terminator.

It can be said to be a combination of T800 and T1000.

The metal skeleton plus the liquid body can absorb the surrounding metal. Ordinary weapons can only slow down his attack speed, but cannot cause fatal damage. At critical moments, he can also be cloned, one is liquid, and the other is a metal bracket.

Such a powerful robot, in order to kill him, the price is the sacrifice of transforming people and T800.

When the T800 was lying on the edge, he said the familiar words again, but this time with one more word:

“I won't be back.”

The scenes from the first two movies are vivid in our minds, and we know we'll never see the T800 again after him.

There is such a scene when the plane they are flying is about to take off.

T800 grabbed the edge of the plane and looked at Sarah Connor who was standing in front of him with a gun. For a moment, I thought Sarah would really shoot. T800's eyes seemed to be repentant, maybe he also expected himself It may be this way of death, just like he sent so many time and coordinates of the arrival of the Terminator before, and the last sentence after the text message:

For John.

Recall that most of the robots sent by Skynet were unsmiling and not good at words. When they first arrived in the past, they would only talk to others.

give it to me.

But in this one, the new robot REV-9 Terminator

He knows how to pretend.

Disguised as Danny's father, he went to the factory with a smile to remind his children that they forgot to bring lunch.

Disguised as a guard at the border, he did not forget to take a photo of his colleagues to show intimacy while chatting.

He didn't catch the helicopter when Connor and his group were fleeing, and when they went out, he complained to the police next to him that he was really tired of work. He just wanted to find out from their mouths where there was a helicopter to use.

Going to the jail to find the arrested Dany, when turning in the weapon, he said

"I am full of weapons."

This is a big truth

And the surrounding guards replied in a playful tone, you should tell the girl this kind of thing.

When he was found to have metal on his body, he told the people around him that he had participated in the Mexican War and had steel plates in his body, which attracted their praise and reverence.

This kind of casual relaxed expression, this kind of chattering tone of voice, is a thousand times more terrifying than those expressionless robots who only know how to hunt down their targets.

For Dany, there is one detail that I find interesting.

When she accompanied Grace to the pharmacy to get medicine to relieve her symptoms of overdraft.

Grace put the gun on the table and said to the doctor, this is my proof.

Dany's expression at this moment was surprised and unbelievable.

But then when Grace fell to the ground and released the gun in her hand.

He glanced at the defensive eyes of those around him, and Dany grabbed the gun and pointed it at them.

From the beginning of an ordinary little girl growing into a resistance leader, maybe this is the time.

Continue to say T800

He has lived in the human world for 20 years, and after completing the task, he was lost for a while until he met a mother and son who were abused by domestic violence, and he had a new task and goal.

protect them.

In the past 20 years, he has also continued to learn how to be more like a human being.

When asked by others why they keep so many weapons in their home.

He said he was afraid that day would come so that these weapons could protect them.

Aged T800 says

"I used to think that not being able to love was our strength, but now I understand that it is our weakness"

He thinks that he, a machine, does not understand what kind of love between humans is.

But when he said to Sarah Connor

"When I had a son, I really understood how you felt."

At this moment, he already has human emotions.

It's not a blood-connected kinship, it's a sense of belonging, a kind of sympathy.

Before leaving, he faced the mirror and picked up his own sunglasses, but he didn't put them on for a long time. It was a regret for the past.

There was remorse in his eyes as he grabbed the edge of the plane and looked up at Sarah Connor.

In the end, he fell into the patio with REV-9, and held REV-9's head with his only remaining hand. It was self-sacrifice, and in his opinion, it was also a kind of redemption.

From the perspective of the T800, the picture gradually becomes a small dot.

in this regard

The T800 is a thing of the past after all.

The era when he and Sarah Connor jointly fought against artificial intelligence has become history, and the two people in the same frame on the big screen can only see each other from memory.
