``Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' ``Evolution'' and ``Deepening'' What James Cameron has updated

The setting is the same as the previous work, but the screenplay is strange and gives a completely opposite impression.

Why was Terminator 2: Judgment Day such a success? There will probably be major advances in technology, but the most important thing will be the fun of the story. There is no need to explain it now, but this film uses the novel idea of ​​``the enemies of the previous film becoming allies'', and also incorporates elements of a ``family movie'', increasing the drama until the unexpected climax that ``makes you cry''. There is. In this article, I would like to delve into the appeal of `` The Terminator Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' while comparing it to its predecessor, ``Terminator.''

About 10 years after the previous work, Los Angeles, USA in 1994-95. In the previous film, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) narrowly survived The Terminator T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), but failed in her attempt to destroy a company that triggered a future nuclear war. , was imprisoned in a police psychiatric hospital. Meanwhile, an assassin appears from the future again to kill John Connor (Edward Furlong), the future leader of the Revolutionary Army, who represents humanity's hope. T-1000 (Robert Patrick) is the most powerful The Terminator with a body made of liquid metal. In order to stop the atrocities, future humans choose to send the T-800 Model 101 (Schwarzenegger) back into the past. The deadly battle between T-800 and T-1000 begins now...

``Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' has a simple (yet bold) storyline that mostly follows the format of the previous film, but it features the T-800, which shocked many audiences, as its ``strongest ally'' and ``Although it is easy to see, We have developed a new methodology. Those who have seen the previous film will be able to follow the story's development smoothly, and at the same time be shocked by the changes in the T-800. In other words, the skill of this work lies in its use of the previous work as a kind of foundation and prelude.

If this were a human being, there would be a strong sense of "opportunism" in the transition from enemy to ally, but The Terminator is just a machine. If a good person uses it, it becomes an ally, and if a bad person uses it, it becomes an enemy, so there is no halation in the viewer. In fact, in ``The Terminator,'' the element of ``the Terminator will continue to follow orders unless it is completely destroyed'' completely aroused fear, but in this work, the element of ``the Terminator will protect you no matter what'' changes to a reliable feeling. Even though the settings are exactly the same, the way you receive it is exactly the opposite. This idea probably only worked in this film. I have to say that it was a truly splendid arrangement.

When the core theme of this work, ``machines understand the mind,'' is added, the story suddenly becomes more of a human drama. A brave scenario in which the T-800, who is supposed to be John's enemy, takes the place of Kyle Reese, John's father who lost his life in the previous work. Who would have thought that he would sympathize with and be moved by the T-800, which was the object of his fear? Even watching it now, 28 years later, it is still a shocking development.

An excellent production that simultaneously recaps the previous work and depicts its evolution.
