I'm here to remember, not to comment

2015-08-30 01:01, I watched Terminator 5 Genisys in the theater about half an hour ago. When the lights in the auditorium turned off, I realized I was the only one sitting there, waiting until the screen went completely black. "2013-02-07", I marked this movie "Want to see", this wait is more than two years. However, compared to waiting for the Terminator for three years for seven years, this is not too long.

I really can't judge this movie objectively. I watched "Terminator II" on TV for the first time when I was in the second year of junior high school. Although I had a nightmare all night, I became fascinated by the machine skeleton wrapped in cell tissue and time travel. I also remembered Schwarzenegger's coldness. The looks and genius of James Cameron. Then I bought the first pirated disc in my life-Terminator I, which made up for the regret of not seeing the complete machine skeleton in the second part. These two have been watched countless times by me, and even made material for learning English (although Schwarzenegger's lines are only more than 100 lines in total). "I'll be back" has become an immortal statement in the hearts of fans. In the second part, Schwarzenegger asked John Connor "Why people are crying?" at the beginning of the film, and said to Connor "I know why you are crying." But Cameron intended to let the story end there. So the wait for the third film to be released is seven years.

The third one came out when I was in college. I still remember watching the premiere. At the beginning of the film, the audience in the theater spontaneously applauded. And the first genuine movie I bought was Terminator III.

The fourth film should not have been released in China, or I was on a business trip abroad at the time. In short, I didn't watch it in the theater, but I watched it in a theater with a small private room for two people, which is a very unique experience. But the biggest regret of this film is that there is no Schwarzenegger, just like Coke without bubbles.

Finally, the latest one came, and I saw the names of Lao Shi and Cameron in the list of actors and screenwriters. I won't comment on the movie itself here, I said that I can't evaluate it objectively at all. The movie itself has already fulfilled a dream for me. T800, liquid metal, "I'll be back", these classic childhood memories, at least let me do a time travel back to the past. It was only by seeing Schwarzenegger's silver hair and slightly drooping corners of his mouth that he realized that the superhero who was invincible as a child was also old. Although I kept repeating the director's explanation, "the skin of this robot will also age", my heart still kept pouring out of sadness. How could I be willing to watch this movie? It wasn't until the movie was over, the easter eggs were played, the ending song was over, and the lights in the projection hall came on, that I hurriedly put away my memories, walked out of the theater, and walked into reality.

It's strange to think about it. In this series of movies, the protagonist is obviously the most emotionless machine, but I am full of emotion for it. . . It's always been my favorite movie, bar none.

Tribute to T800, Tribute to Schwarzenegger, Tribute to James Cameron!

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.
