body is old, heart is not dead

12 years later, when Schwarzenegger stepped down as governor and several works that returned to the film industry were not satisfactory; when he saw that the Terminator series had a tail that was still wagging to him; he resolutely chose to return.

The cinema is full. People's expectations are not whether the film can create a classic again, but that the old T-800 is back. When the T-800 travels through time and space with a dazzling halo, the beam of light seems to be moving like a moonlight treasure box. It opened the hearts of every movie fan, and it seemed that I heard the phrase "I will be back" again...

Although the entire story of "Genesis" is the fifth part of the entire series, its connection with the first and second parts More closely, the director wants to surpass 3 and 4, and his ambition to be on par with 1 and 2 is obvious. This film tells the story of the year 2029, when the world-destroying artificial intelligence "Skynet" is rampant, and the survival of mankind is at stake. Humanity is only able to survive because of its leader, John Connor (Jason Clarke), leading the world's elite forces to resist "Skynet" and the army of robots. At the last moment before Skynet was defeated, he spread the battle line and dispatched T-800 and liquid metal man T-1000 (played by Li Bingxian) back to assassinate John Connor's biological mother, Sarah (Emilia R. Clark), preventing the birth of the leader. Connor's close comrade-in-arms Kyle Reese (Jay Courtney) took the initiative to ask Ying to be rescued in 1984, and met Sarah, a woman who didn't need to be rescued, and her adoptive father, T-800 (Arnold Shih). Wassinger), only to know that the original battle line has been pulled to 1973, the original time and space have been disordered, and learned that the creation killing machine "Skynet" with world-annihilating intelligence awakened in 2017, Kyle persuaded Sarah to go to 2017 In 2018, he eradicated the root cause of "Skynet" and destroyed it the day before "Genesis" Genisys, the real body of "Skynet"

. It is not difficult to understand this film, because the director is "Salute, Salute, Salute again".

In the first 40 minutes of the film, it takes people back to the first two Terminator movies. The T-800's clothes grab is exactly the same as the first one, and the scene where Kyle Reis sneaks into the store to change clothes to avoid pursuit is the same. , and his pair of Nike shoes appeared on the screen like a time-travel. But if the director just pays tribute, then there is nothing to discuss about this film. In terms of the plot, the director's tribute is enough. Sarah in the film has become a female man and no longer needs the protection of Kyle Reis. , she can be on her own, can single out T-1000, and T-1000, who was mistaken for a big boss, was killed in seconds, but only played soy sauce once. Just when the audience thought it was over, the film really kicked off. .

In addition to the tribute to the plot, the emotional tribute to the film is also a highlight. In "Terminator 2", the audience was moved by a robot character, and I still can't forget the phrase "I know why you are crying, this is something I will never be able to do". This time, the screenwriter let Arnold and Sarah's "father-daughter relationship" get a more touching display, 11 years of parenting, 33 years of waiting, and the sentence "Kyle, please "Protect my Sarah" earned enough tears from the audience.

In addition, the appearance of three different versions of Schwarzenegger in the film, the young, middle-aged, and old, is also embarrassing, especially when Schwarzenegger's 66-year-old character appears on the screen at the end of the film. The vicissitudes of life are evident, but he still keeps saying "I am old, but not obsolete." It is not so much T-800's righteous words to Kyle as Arnold's Every audience conveys a firm cry of "the legend is not over".

Although this film has many shortcomings, it is still a good film. It is a blockbuster that is worth sitting in the theater with the double shock of special effects and sound effects. I still look forward to its sequel, and I still look forward to the T-800. Resolute and emotionless eyes, still looking forward to the "old body, not dead" Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Although Lian Po is old, the legend continues.

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.
