25th anniversary of release, still a beloved masterpiece



``True Lies'' (1994) was a shock. No, it might be more accurate to say "laughing." Director James Cameron. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Production cost: approximately 12 billion yen (approximately 115 million dollars). If the famous `` The Terminator '' duo were to make a new movie, the world would have been looking forward to seeing what kind of big action they would see.


However, what was released was a huge spectacle with a series of flashy scenes that cost a lot of money (this was the first American movie to have a production cost of over $100 million). However, this movie is a genuine comedy. It wasn't just the action that unfolded, it was also a series of bursts of laughter after bursts of laughter.


Harry (Schwarzenegger) is a good salesman for a computer company who lives with his wife and only daughter. However, his true identity is a spy for a security organization directly under the US government! The movie simultaneously depicts Harry's pursuit of a Middle Eastern terrorist who entered the United States as a spy, and his struggle as the head of a family with his wife's suspicions of infidelity and his daughter's rebellious period.

Although it is a unique work in director Cameron's filmography, it is a legendary work that is widely loved by men and women of all ages. In terms of performance, it was a huge hit, grossing approximately $378 million at the worldwide box office. In its home country of the United States, it was the third-biggest hit of 1994, following ` `Forrest Gump '' (1994) and the anime `` The Lion King '' (1994). It is also remembered as one of Schwarzenegger's masterpieces, affectionately known as "Schwarzenegger."


Although the film was canceled due to the terrorist attacks in the United States, there are plans for a sequel, and this year, which marks the 25th anniversary of its release, a two-shot photo of Schwarzenegger and co-star Jamie Lee Curtis was released. When it was posted on Instagram, many fans commented, ``Sequel!'' By the way, the drama version directed by McG, who directed `` The Terminator 4 '' (2009), is scheduled to be distributed on the video distribution service ``Disney+''.


Why is “True Lies” still loved so much, even considering that it is a work by the “ T2 ” duo? In this article, I would like to take a look back at the origins of this work, the behind-the-scenes stories, and each scene, while delving into its unwavering charm.
