However, movies under the operation of the business model are not determined by the wishful words edited by an authoritative magazine. The audience is the real touchstone, and the box office has the real right to speak. Let's take a look at the data, "Terminator: The Salvation Army" lost to Ben Stiller's comedy "Night at the Museum 2" in its first week of release in North America, ranking second, with a box office of 43.01 million US dollars, with such an opening. It is almost impossible to beat "Transformers 2" at the drawing level.
After watching "Terminator: The Salvation Army", I remembered Roger Ebert's comment: "A guy who dies, finds himself resurrected, finds other partners, and fights non-stop, that's the story of the film. ". A large part of the film is spent on exciting fighting scenes, the characters are poorly portrayed, the screenwriter's skills are lacking, and even the main character John Connor is just a symbolic hero, not to mention Connor's wife (Bryce). · Dallas Howard), in the cold and gray ruins, I am afraid not even a vase.
On the contrary, it is the little-known Sam Worthington who shines. If it wasn't for the plot, I would have thought that Marcus (Sam Worthington) was the hero of the film. While we are still mourning the lost Australian sun, another Australian movie star is on the rise. He was previously challenged by James Cameron to lead "God of War", and then put on Zeus in "Clash of Titans" Son of Perseus (Perseus) shirt, Sam Worthington's veiled light will focus on blooming, become the focus of the world's attention. , lamented that Australia is indeed a fertile land rich in Hollywood superstars.
There has never been a shortage of heroes in the history of American cinema, but it is rare for a classic hero to become a household name. The hero in the movie is often not a good job. He often has to face the temptation that ordinary people can't refuse, the pain that ordinary people can't bear, and the knot in their hearts. But often this kind of contradictory psychological struggle can increase the tension of the drama and increase the charm of the characters.
John Connor in Terminator: The Salvation Army is a natural leader, but we see him fighting alone. His soul is lonely, and the only spiritual solace is the tapes left by his mother. In the film, John Connor does not have the brotherhood of life and death with his comrades, and there is no love for each other. He fights forever like a robot. When John Connor finally called on the Rebels to obey human nature, he himself had lost much of the preciousness of human nature. Logic is the only way he can survive, and intuition is the last choice for survival. John Connor's ultimate goal is to eradicate "Skynet", and the trajectory of his life is a straight line from point A to point B. The tedious daily life has made us extremely boring. You said you would like such a flat, bloodless and unparalleled hero? Therefore, I appreciate the sentient robot "Marcus" more.
As for Schwarzenegger's cameo appearance and the classic line "I'll be back", I can't help but think of James Cameron's good, some are just nostalgic for the past, not for the new trilogy. We can’t ask too much for the summer movies, but with the improvement of the stunt level, we even have to wait for a good story to become an extravagant hope. The money-making camp in the summer has created a contest of naked capital, and what we get It's just a crazy car chase, more dizzying robots, and very yellow and violent. Movies should not be just entertainment. As spiritual food, it should make our life more meaningful, instead of advocating technology and ignoring the cold world of light and shadow.
