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

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

Since "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is a sequel, it is natural that there should be a link with the previous work, but this work has been consciously designed to overlap with the previous work, and coupled with the following of the scenario mentioned above, it feels like an update. Hold me tight.

The structure is the same, starting with a war scene between humans and machines in the future. The scene where the tank's caterpillar crushes a mountain of snails is exactly the same from the composition point of view. However, it is excellent that it is not a ``double-cooked'' version. This is because many metal The Terminator, which appeared in the last few minutes of the previous game, appear immediately after this, a large number of fighter planes appear instead of just a few in the previous game, and the number of human forces has increased significantly. . The depiction of war, which would not have been possible in `` The Terminator '' due to budget and technology, is depicted on a scaled-up scale.

The scene in which the T-800 appears has also evolved from the previous work. In ``The Terminator,'' the appearance itself was not shown, but a cut was made to show what happened after the appearance, but this time the T-800 appears on screen. Advances in video technology have made it possible to completely depict the transferred scene, which suddenly appears within the frame.

Also, in the previous game, the search for Sarah's residence was done through a telephone directory, but this time the method has been changed to accessing the police network installed in a police car. The effect is the same as in the previous film, where the person on the phone is The Terminator pretending to be the person himself (however, the T-1000 can copy not only his voice but also his appearance). In this way, fans of the previous work can feel the ``points of evolution'' at every turn, which lifts their spirits.

Even in the action scenes, there are many scenes where the character throws something and breaks through glass. Perhaps it is director Cameron's hobby, but the action scenes that were often used in ``The Terminator'' are depicted with increased volume, and the chase scene is still a tank truck, and the scene where the T-800's arm is ripped off is a surgical scene from the previous movie. Reminds me of. It's a small detail, but the scene where the T-800 tells Sarah to "take over driving" in the chase scene is the same as Kyle's line from the previous movie. It is also very effective in showing the structure of the previous work, T-800 → T-1000 and Kyle → T-800.

Director Cameron is good at joining series projects midway through, such as writing the screenplay for ` `Rambo '' (1985) and directing/writing the screenplay for `` Aliens '' (1986), but in this film, he subliminally subliminally takes the key points. It sneaks in the essence of the previous work, making it hard to feel the 7-year gap since the previous work. Cameron's smart way of guiding the audience without relying on explanatory lines or visuals is probably the reason why he is the greatest hit maker of our time.

Director Cameron is top notch not only as a director but also as a producer. In the early promotions for the film, they intentionally did not show footage of the T-800 with John in order to hide the fact that he was a "good"The Terminator. This episode also shows how seriously Cameron considers the ``psychology'' of the audience.

The T-1000 brought together the latest technology at the time.
