Finally, even FOX itself couldn't stand the worsening Prison Break, and cut PB Season 3 in the back in January this year. FOX replaced the original Prison Break with the new series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles". Originally, I didn't have much interest in the TV series sequel of this kind of movie, after all, there are too many examples of failure. A few days ago, I heard that the first season of the show was over and I couldn’t help but watch it. In order to find a few more brothers and sisters to fill the hole together, please forgive me for this shameless spoiler.
The attractive elements of the Terminator series: the future world, the war between Skynet and humans, time travel, fierce battles between robots, etc. are reserved in this series, but they are no better than the Terminator movies, and even in many places. Slightly worse than the movie. But the real attraction is Cameron, the terminator who protects John Connor, played by Summer Glau. Fox finally added a more delicate emotional element to the main plot of the TV series (or robots and humans!).
Originally, after the first episode of Cameron revealed its identity as a Terminator, I thought it was just a relatively powerful and beautiful Terminator robot, but there was an episode later when Sarah and John talked about the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz (usually Sarah likes Call Miss Cameron Ironskin more contemptuously). Cameron actually said to John: The Tin Man wants to find a heart. I immediately changed my perception of Cameron, and recalled the dialogue with the young John when Terminator 2 ended when Arnold the Terminator melted himself into the molten iron:
John: "I order you not to go!" (John is crying) Terminator:"I know now why you cry.But it's something I can never do.Good-bye.
John, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, has been living in a turbulent and displaced life for a long time, and the only person his age around him is a frosty robot beauty. John is a Robot-Con (it is probably because Arnold impressed him too deeply without his father at the time), and Cameron is not an ordinary terminator. Sometimes she is more like a human being, so naturally there is something between two people.
But this film is not like ordinary European and American films, but a bit like Asian films. On the one hand, John kept reminding himself that Cameron was a robot, and on the other hand, Cameron's mind was still growing to humans and couldn't fully understand everything. So this feeling is like a layer of fog, I can't understand it all the time. It can even be said to be a latent plot, a bit more nerves may not be seen at all. However, from the eighth episode, after John put Cameron's brain chip back on Cameron's head, he stroked Cameron's hair before she woke up. It is estimated that most people can guess John's feelings for Cameron.
Cameron has a few things that impress me:
1. She said to John very seriously: The Tin Man wants to find a heart.
2. Cameron went to find Turk to find the sister of the person who stole Turk to learn dance. The sister told Cameron: "remember, dance is the hidden language of soul, yeah?" Cameron said this after returning, Derek said: First u have to have a soul. At the end of the seventh episode, Cameron danced alone in his room, the scene was really beautiful. Derek's mouth closed in surprise when he was looking outside. While Cameron was dancing, Sarah’s voice in the background narrated: “There are things machines will never do.they cannot possess faith.they cannot commune with god.they cannot appreciate beauty.they cannot create art.if they ever learn these things, they won't have to destroy us.they'll be us."(This paragraph is too classic and basically shows that Cameron is a very special Terminator)
3. John left Cameron at school to chat with a girl, Cameron kept staring Looking at John and the girl, he was going to end the girl.
4. The Terminator who assassinated John came to the school to find John. After Cameron tricked the Terminator, John just came out. Cameron immediately grabbed John's neckline and hid to the side, suddenly felt that it might be embarrassing to hold John, so he didn't say anything and quickly let go.
5. In the eighth episode, John reads the memory of the T-888 Terminator who was killed by Cameron and saw that the Terminator pretended to be a human and was married. The memory picture is touching his wife's lips with his hand, at this time Cameron quietly paints his nails next to him (Is there a robot good for this?). John's conversation after he found Cameron:
John "You scared the hell outta me. How long you been sitting there?"
Cameron: "A little while. That was effective."
John: "What he did,"
Cameron: "When he touched her lips." (For the robot Touching human beings curious)
John: "Effective?
Cameron: "I could see that she liked that."
John: "What are you doing?"
(Cameron showed him her nails painted)
John: "No.When you say things like that, what are you thinking?"
Cameron: "Just making conversation." (In fact, I want to talk to John)
John: "Since when do you just make conversation?"
Cameron: "I don't know. I just seems like something I should do."
Finally Cameron left after Sarah came. Before going out, he looked back and gave John a wink (sweat)
6. In the second half of the eighth episode, when Derek doubted Cameron's motives, John said: "You don't have to trust her. You can trust me." Then Cameron saw that John couldn't bear to cut through his artificial skin and take it out. When chipping, she said: "It's okay, john. It's not the first time we've done this." (It can be seen that the two of them must have something in the future)
7. Cameron thought for a while after killing T-888 and taking out the chip. , And later wrote a note for the dead T-888. (Speaking of this T-888 brother is really quite fierce, when the cowboy seduce a female scientist to be his wife, and also cos Lincoln Burrows in "Prison Break")
In fact, these It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary girl, the problem is that it's very special in a cold-faced beautiful girl Terminator who has no expressions 99% of the time. I remember that Summer Glau said that the acting line during the audition was John recalled when they met and saved her for the first time in the future, and when he replied to reporters, he said "Cameron loves John in her own way." That's the case)
But the first season ended with only 9 episodes, and it was totally uninteresting. Especially in the last scene, Cameron's car exploded and it was unclear whether the screenwriter was trying to make a mistake. Although intellectually I know that CamEron as the Terminator is at most a little broken, but it is still very uncomfortable to see this season end like this. And Summer Glau has no Asian ancestry. When I look at it, I think it should be Asian, but it turns out to be a mixture of Scottish and German.
In the end, the old saying goes, when will the second season come out.
