Technology, my honey, the other's arsenic

Whether in the Terminator series, or even in the sequence of sci-fi movies, Terminator 2 is a classic and high standard that cannot be ignored. Whether it is irony and reflection on technology, or rendering of the end of the world, Terminator 2 is always a topic that cannot be avoided. In a word, the whole movie is a well-deserved classic.

The classics lie not only in the more intense, imaginative and creative car chase battles, not only in the more powerful and incredible villains, but also in a reflection on the relationship between technology and human beings. Personally, I think that the classic of Terminator 2 is supported by these three elements.

The car chase battle has become the standard of the Terminator of all generations. But if it is the most classic, it should be this work. Whether it is the imagination of the car body, the four or two jins of the small car vs the large car, as well as the frequency and mode of the car body, all emerge in endlessly, and it is very enjoyable. The entire film presents three body parts, and each time the body parts are shot with a completely different feel. And the two factions of robots rely on the car, which also reflects the combat characteristics of the robot to the extreme. The fierceness of the T800, jumping up and down, the viciousness and viciousness of the T1000, and the bug-like performance with the help of liquid form, are all impressive.

The robot T1000 is definitely the greatest wealth of the Terminator. The design elements of the T1000 are basically completely inherited by the subsequent robots of the Terminator. It can be seen that TX, as well as T-Connor, have the liquid form design elements of T1000, and even their confrontation rhythm with the protagonist team is the same as that of T1000. Although the special effects in the 1990s were not very good, every time the T1000 appeared on the stage, it gave people a very amazing feeling. Whether it is disguised as an adoptive mother, disguised as the floor, or dashing forward desperately with a gloomy face, it can give the audience a completely different feeling of horror. And he is very tenacious. When you think that he is completely thrown away and killed, he can always be resurrected in a special way and continue to execute the assassination characters. It is dangerous and powerful. It may be this kind of villain.

Terminator 1 is a complete B-movie, and Terminator 2 is actually a sci-fi classic. The core of which is the reflection on technology. The story of the female protagonist slaying Skynet scientists was added to the film. Although it seems to be suspected of being separated from the main storyline, it deeply reflects the theme. In the main storyline, T1000 is the assassination robot. In the story of the scientist, the assassin becomes the heroine. This reversal gives people a very wonderful feeling. Because of the influence of future events, the heroine has changed from a victim to a perpetrator, just as the scientist said with relish The Skynet, the prototype of Tao, is my honey and the other's arsenic. The creation of this contrast reflects the threat of Skynet from a more three-dimensional level. The significance of Skynet is thus sublimated. He is not only a dispatch agency for assassins, but also a leading system that profoundly changes the fate of mankind. The attitude of the important supporting role of scientists also represents their original intention to innovate technology and their basic attitude towards the relationship between humans and machines

Cameron gives me the feeling that he is a director with a lot of blockbusters. Whether it is the giant ship of Titanic, or the demolition battle in Avatar. It also includes the evil robots of the Terminator. Cameron is always extremely cautious, vigilant, and even negative about future science and technology. Titanic is known to never sink. Avatar's modern frame robots destroy the beautiful ecology. The stifling of human hope embodies this idea. However, it is Cameron who attaches the most importance to the innovative application of film imaging technology, from giant screens to 3D to IMAX, he is almost always absent in all eras.

This may be another story of my honey and the other's arsenic.
