The new version seems to have more depth, and it may be that the adult me can understand more than the childhood me after all. So I realized how discordant and contradictory the combination of man and machine is. Is the law and order we need the rigidity and coldness of machines, or the hesitation and warmth of human nature? If it is true as the TV anchor in the film clamored, everything will be fine if we have machines, our society will be harmonious and prosperous, and we will obey the rule of "Skynet", why send Reis back to the past to protect Kang What about Na's mother? Well, it's on stage.
Law is nothing but human. It needs to be executed meticulously, and more importantly, it needs to take care of people's hearts and the complexity of human nature, otherwise what will be obtained is not harmony and order, but repression and fear.
In the film, however, it is neither the law nor humanity that ultimately holds control, but politics—the politicians and the consortia that control them. This control is invisible, but powerful, like the tight-knit spell that stops Murphy from shooting the boss. Murphy in the film broke through the spell, and in reality Murphy was probably torn to pieces.
