July 2th is a day that movie fans all over the world remember. On this day, their long-awaited movie "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" was officially released in the United States and Hong Kong.And with lightning speed, it quickly climbed to the top of the weekly box office list of the two places.In only the first week in the United States, "Terminator 4000" swept nearly 2 million US dollars at the box office and became a well-deserved box office champion. In the second week, the total box office of "Terminator [-]" has exceeded [-] million US dollars. Including the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Canada, the total box office has steadily recovered its income.
And after "Terminator 2" was released, the film critics received rave reviews.
'The unknown of the future unfolds before us.We face the future with hope for the first time.Because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of humanity, maybe we can too' - Sarah Connor.
"If you only plan to watch one American action movie in your life, you should choose this "Terminator 2" without a doubt. It's a perfect movie."
"The "Terminator" series really explores the relationship between man and machine. Computer technology in human society has brought great development, but also brought great panic and disaster. This was not explained too much in the first "Terminator". It's just a story background. But "Terminator 2" is a picture of the doomsday battlefield at the beginning, and finally freezes to John Connor's eyes (please note that his expression is not much different from that of the Terminator), This seems to be a very subtle message, robots are not much different from humans, and the disasters in the future world are caused by humans."
"In all honesty, the plot of this movie is not very complicated and tortuous, and you can even get a general idea in just a few sentences. This kind of theme of robots destroying human beings is not too new, but it is such a simple plot. , but presents us with an extremely shocking audio-visual enjoyment. The director and screenwriter of this film is James Cameron, a Hollywood ghost. His father is an electrical engineer and his mother is a painter. This seems to have created his natural artistic talent and leadership. talent."
On the entertainment pages of the media, comments like this can be said to be overwhelming...
And it was also rated as the best movie sequel in the history of Hollywood movies, ending the history that Hollywood movie sequels are generally not as good as the first episode.
"We all know that Hollywood is a paradise for sequels. For producers, the success of the previous film is enough to guarantee the success of the next film. Sometimes, the film company often shoots two films in one go. The films are launched intensively one year apart, which not only saves a lot of filming costs, manpower and material resources, but also catches up with the trend. Naturally, it is necessary to drain all the money in the pockets of the audience. However, although the sequels are easy to shoot and sell, there are also The problem is that most audiences, directors, and actors know that the sequel is possible, and it is very likely to be a bad movie, but I have to admit that "Terminator 2" directed by Cameron has made a comeback after many years, and it has completely surpassed it. It broke his previous work. It broke the Hollywood tradition that the sequel is not as good as the first episode," Schwartz, the marketing director of the American New Front Cinema Company, said bluntly.
"From the perspective of science fiction films, the connection between machines, computers, networks and intelligence, etc., and the crisis of the future society, the "Terminator" series has risen from the level of entertainment in the first episode to the height of reflection in the second episode. From the transformation of robots to the aggressiveness and ignorance of human beings, although most of the film is still entertaining, the theme is much deeper than that of the first episode.” Thomas, a well-known American film critic, spoke eloquently to the TV media And talk.
"James' technology has matured. Take the road chase scene as an example: John's light motorcycle, T-1000's big truck, and T-800's motorcycle. Faster, the shot of Arnold shooting with scattered bullets on the motorcycle, and finally returning to the car to look at the truck that crashed and burst into flames is amazing. The metal deformation shot of the liquefied robot t-1000 is even more amazing. I believe that these will become classic shots recognized by filmmakers all over the world, and will be imitated by countless objects." American Hollywood director Robert is also full of emotion.
"I have to say that Director Cameron's portrayal of the characters in this movie is already superb. For example, Sarah, who was just a beautiful vase that could scream in the previous movie, Here, she has become a firm warrior to protect her son and the future of mankind. Sarah is a thinker who has contradictions and longings for the fate of mankind: she is very afraid of future disasters, so she is the narrator of the narration. It was she who dreamed that Judgment Day was coming. In the film, there is a very subtle shot that reveals the future of humanity in Sarah's eyes—a dark road after she was rescued from the mental hospital by Connor and T-800. In the car, she said to the driving t-800: "Can you see the road clearly?" The t-800 replied: "I can see clearly." This question and answer has revealed Sarah's The fear of the fate that mankind will face in the future. There is also Connor, the t-800 has changed from a cold protector to a future warrior with emotion to help mankind, which is entirely the result of getting along with Connor. A terminator recognizes the human Fate and emotion, I believe this will be the theme that many sci-fi themes will focus on in the future. In the movie, Connor said at the beginning: "We have feelings, we can feel hurt and fear, you have to understand this, this is very important." Later, t-800 saw that Sarah loved Connor and blamed him for going to the mental hospital to save her. Connor was sad because of this. I realized: I understand why you are crying, but I can’t do it. After seeing this, I have to admit that this is an epoch-making portrayal of human nature.” Ms. Gore, the president of Halcyon Films, made no secret of her love for her ex-husband’s film Appreciation of talent.
Of course, in addition to the great popularity of the movie itself, the actors in the movie have also received great praise for this.The splendor of the movie, apart from the Sarah and Connor mentioned by Gore, is also absolutely inseparable from Schwarzenegger and Patrick's wonderful interpretation of the characters.
Schwarzenegger's perfect physique and tough appearance can be said to be the best candidate for the t-800.But his performance in the movie is not just a big guy who just knows to show off his muscles. On the contrary, compared with the previous episode, Schwarzenegger's performance has improved significantly. His performance is accurate and vivid. , portraying a robot who does not understand human feelings but gradually understands human nature.Especially his final choice made almost all the audience fall in love with this "Terminator".
And the t-1000 liquid metal man played by Patrick definitely left an unforgettable impression on everyone who watched "Terminator 2". This robot is very different from the t-800. He doesn't talk much, but he is expressive. His body language is daunting, especially his eyes, which vividly express the ruthlessness and fierceness in his heart; he kills people like stepping on ants, but he is fundamentally different from killers in the general sense, because he kills It is often fatal with one blow, never wastes useless movements, and does not show off too much. This deformable robot like plasticine really leaves a deep impression on people.
Of course, apart from Sarah and Connor, many characters in it left a deep impression on the audience.This also includes Sandra Bullock and Uda Mitsuri, who is of Japanese-American descent.
However, compared with them, the most eye-catching, and also the most confusing to Americans, is the name that appears on the screen in the two positions of screenwriter and director, after Cameron—— "Fang" written in regular Chinese script
Needless to say, the importance of a director for a film, and a screenwriter, in the Hollywood film industry, is definitely an important position that cannot be ignored.Of course, a good actor can save a trash movie, but with a good screenwriter, even a fledgling novice may have a brilliant star.
What shocked the Americans was that they had always thought that "Terminator 2" was written by Cameron and directed by Cameron. No one thought of it, but in the end a method suddenly appeared and this method, Who is it, no one knows
Well, even if he is an unknown person, he can become the screenwriter and director of "Terminator 2", although it is obvious that Cameron plays a greater role in this, otherwise this party will not be ranked after his name, but " The hot box office of Terminator 2 is enough to make him the new darling of the bosses of Hollywood film companies. Such a newcomer who can write, direct, and has been approved by Cameron is a big deal for Hollywood film companies. baby.
But no one knows who this "Fang" is. Facing the confusion of the media and film companies, the Jade Bird Film Company remained silent about it, and the "Terminator 2" crew also remained silent about it-they Of course I won’t say it. It’s no secret among the company and the crew that Cameron is about to start filming his next movie. The box office boom of "Terminator 2" and the popularity of a group of stars have made everyone more excited. Recognize Cameron's talent and his future position in Hollywood.At this time, when he has already issued the ban, breaking the news to the media is undoubtedly cutting off the possibility of him cooperating with Cameron again.Nobody would be that stupid to ruin their career in Hollywood for a little windfall.
It's just that when Fang Mingyuan saw the subtitles at the premiere of "Terminator 2" in Hong Kong, he couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. This Cameron, unexpectedly, didn't show any words before, even in the sample film he showed himself. , did not reveal the slightest bit, and at the end, I gave myself a "surprise", which is really a surprise
