A love story about machines and people

I watched it in the morning, Shu Qi Assassin, in addition to being able to sigh about true TM art, was unable to complain any more. Watched Genesis in the afternoon. I didn't expect this kind of sequel, after all, this kind of commercial film is just to make money, but I felt a little emotional when I got home to take a shower at night, and then suddenly realized that this is obviously a love film!

Speaking of "Terminator", what is your first impression: Muscular man? artificial intelligence? Liquid metal? Or childhood? I still remember the first time I watched Terminator 1 with my dad when I was a child, it was just like the first time I watched Dragon Inn, Alien, that was so exciting. But what can be left in the memory is only the robot played by Schwarzenegger. After the great development of movies, various sci-fi and fantasy movies appeared in large numbers, which made me ignore the robot uncle who once fascinated me. Therefore, the purpose of this viewing is just to remember.

Let's talk about the movie itself:
the story is the same as everyone said, and there is nothing outstanding. After all, this story has been around for many years, and the background and main characters of the story are basically well known to everyone. So this time, even if you travel through it many times, it will not bring satisfaction to the audience. Maybe it's because Liquid Metal in Part 2 is so ahead of its time that it's impossible to imagine something more advanced to surpass it.
As far as the male and female protagonists are concerned, it's just nonsense, and they can't feel love at all, so the final kiss is too far-fetched.
However, the new element added this time is the aging of the T-800. To be honest, when I saw the white-haired T-800, the first feeling was funny, and the second feeling was still funny. At the same time, T-800 has been repeating one sentence in the whole play: I am old, and I can't help but laugh. However, when I saw that I was getting old at the beginning of the film, it gave me the feeling that the director was spoofing the governor. In the later arsenal, when loading bullets, when the manipulator did not obey me, I was old and a little sad. When I got home, I was moved by the thought of the T-800 being old. Although, the heroine of the whole film has always called T-800 a father, but the role played by T-800 is obviously a partner! All the purposes are for the safety of the heroine, not to do anything to hurt the heroine, to die for the heroine, and never give up. In contrast, the male protagonist's love seems so pale.

Well, I know, the director didn't want to express this meaning~

No matter what, I will still watch this as a romance movie.

Terminator Genisys quotes

  • Garbage Man: [the garbage truck's engine stops] What the hell? Goddamn son of a bitch...

  • [first lines]

    Kyle Reese: [narrating] Before they died, my parents told me stories about how the world once was; what it was like long before I was born; before the war with the machines. They remembered a green world, vast and beautiful, filled with laughter and hope for the future. It's a world I never knew. By the time I was born, all this was gone.

    Kyle Reese: "Skynet," a computer program designed to automate missile defense. It was supposed to protect us, but that's not what happened. August 29th, 1997, Skynet woke up. It decided all of humanity was a threat to its existence.

    [scenes of mass destruction]

    Kyle Reese: It used our own bombs against us. Three billion people died of nuclear fire.

    Kyle Reese: Survivors called it Judgement Day. People lived like rats in shadows, hiding, starving, or worse, captured and put into camps for extermination. I was born after Judgement Day, into a broken world ruled by the machines. The worst were infiltration units that posed as humans. We called them Terminators.

    John Connor: [finding young Kyle in subterranean tunnels] Are there others down here?

    Kyle Reese: And then one man found me. His name was John Connor, and he changed everything. John showed us how to fight back; how to rise up. He freed prisoners. He taught us how to slash the machines to scrap. People whisper about John and wonder how he can know the things he does. They use words like prophet. But John's more. We're here because tonight, he's going to lead us to crush Skynet for good.
