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

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

So, on the other hand, what is "new" about this film? There are various theories, but in this article I would like to introduce two main points. The "evolution" and "deepening" of The Terminator. The "evolution" here refers to the T-1000, and the "deepening" refers to the T-800.

First, about "evolution." The T-1000, with its liquid metal body, is invincible, able to deflect physical attacks and regenerate super quickly. It can blend into the floor, and while the T-800 could only change its voice, it can copy its appearance. It also has more facial expressions, and does not speak in a simple manner like the T-800. It is closer to a human, which is why it gives off a feeling similar to the "uncanny valley" phenomenon (a psychological state in which the more a robot becomes similar to a human, the more disgusted it feels).

While the previous film's T-800 inspired emotionless fear, the more human-like T-1000 gives a glimpse of "cold-mindedness." This impression is reinforced by the T-1000's attack style. The T-1000 can freely transform its body into blades, which makes it more cruel than the T-800, who fires a gun to defeat his enemies. Scenes such as John's foster father being cut in half and a security guard being killed by being pierced through the head are even more grotesque than the surgery scene in the previous film. Due to these influences, the film received an R rating in the US, just like the previous film, but it can be said that the cruelty was necessary to create the character of the T-1000.

The Making of "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"

The R rating also helped reassure Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was initially worried about the idea of ​​the T-800 becoming a good guy, fearing it would ruin the image of the T-800, but when he learned that Cameron was planning the film with an R rating in mind, he changed his mind.

Robert Patrick, who played the T-1000, said he learned about the head movements of a bald eagle to get into character. He also trained to breathe only through his nose in order to make himself less human in the scene where he chases John at full speed. As a result, he ran too fast and ended up catching up with the motorcycle of Edward Furlong, who played John.

The role of the T-1000 was originally supposed to be played by rock singer Billy Idol, but due to an accident, Patrick took over the role. Incidentally, Denzel Washington was offered the role of Miles, who creates the system that will trigger a nuclear war, but he turned it down as he was not interested in the role.

One interesting story behind the T-1000 is the sound design. The sound of the T-1000 passing through a metal grate was recorded using a dog food can. In the mercury-like conditions, a mixture of flour and water was sprayed onto a condom-covered microphone. Yogurt was used for the scene where the T-1000 absorbs a bullet.

Created using the latest technology at the time, the T-1000 was not only an updated version of the T-800 from " The Terminator ," but was also groundbreaking in its originality.
