You are old, but let me reflect

"Terminator 5" is almost on the same level as "Assassin Nie Yinniang". Some viewers responded that they often heard the fighting sound of "End" next door in the quiet screening room of "Nie", which formed a strong contrast. I didn't go to the theater. Watching these two movies, are all at the same time on the computer to watch alone. But I watched "Nie" first and then "End" to experience the effect of two cinemas produced by one computer. This is the space collision between two worlds, two different cultures of China and the United States in my computer.
After watching "The End", I feel that it is not as good as "The End" 31 years ago. Arnold's fatigue made me feel that this series is lingering. It is reported that the series originally planned to start a new trilogy, but the first part was Encountered Waterloo all over the world, the domestic box office was less than 90 million US dollars, and basically even the cost and publicity expenses were not recovered. Paramount immediately announced that it would shelve the plan indefinitely. When I was watching the movie, I was thinking, why Arnold is so old, and let him continue to play the role, is it because of the feelings of the public? I think fresh blood should be used to supplement the old state of the film, even though the line "I am old, but not dead" appears three or four times in the film. Recalling "The End" a few decades ago, Arnold, who was a tough guy and muscled, held an incomparably powerful field submachine gun in his left hand. He was fearless and fearless when people blocked killing people, and Buddha blocked killing Buddhas. He laughed so hard and weird. At that time, the quality of technology was so good. How clear and realistic was Arnold's mechanical body when he was injured. Compared with today's one, the contrast of the computer fiction is so high that people have to doubt the sincerity of the Americans. Linked to the "Mission Impossible 5" that I watched some time ago, it seems that people can't help but wonder if American movies have reached a dilemma of very short of money.
In the first half of "The End", there is a battle with the liquid robot played by Li Bingxian, but from the beginning to the end, there is no account of the enemy's origin, the reason for the attack, and the naked Arno robot that appeared at the beginning was sent back to 1984 by the time machine. What is the purpose of Nian, is it just to enrich the picture and fight for the sake of fighting? I just want to say one thing, you are still really old, it's time to take a break.
This year's Hollywood movies have indeed lost a lot of imagination, and they can no longer imagine new things. Compared with domestic movies, they have new breakthroughs in humanities, history, and animation special effects. . But we still have to be cautious. After all, there is still a big gap between Chinese and Western films. After all, industrialization is not something that can be compared. A momentary bad film does not mean anything. People still master the cutting-edge technology and the best in the world. The talent team is an inexhaustible source of motivation for others. Compared with the time cost we spent in filming "The Assassin Nie Yinniang", it cannot be compensated with money, and only filmmakers who really love literary films can be so patient, but not everyone likes this method. We also need to take into account the market's acceptance. After all, movies are made for people to watch. There are not many people who love literary movies as much as I do, and sit in front of the computer for a few hours to watch the natural changes. If it makes everyone feel obscure and difficult to understand, why not take a DV and go to the field to shoot? After all, literary films are still easy to be self-sufficient. How to produce movies efficiently and with high quality makes us as Chinese filmmakers think deeply. Of course, we can learn from other people's excellent things, but we must have our own thinking and shadow, so as to avoid the fork in the road and find the characteristics.
There have been too many stories in the Chinese and Western film markets recently. If I hadn't been immersed in work, I would have had a vacation to take a break. I really don't know what happened.

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.
