Terminator - My Hollywood Enlightenment

At first I thought this was another remake of the first movie, and thought Schwarzenegger would be playing the T-800 who was going after Sarah Connor again. But when Reese went back to 1984 to meet T-1000 and T-800 killed T-800, he realized that history had changed dramatically.
The setting of the plot is quite bold, and even subverts the image of a certain hero. The effects do look better. And the film pays tribute to the first three. Schwarzenegger is old, but not useless. It was a historic moment when he jumped out of the helicopter shouting "I'LL BE BACK". And when he was crawling on one arm, when he grinned ugly, when he was alert to the enemy, he was still the same T-800.
The emotional positioning is more successful than the second part of the emotional drama. Sarah not only taught the robot to laugh and joke like John when she was a child, but even developed a father-daughter relationship. Unfortunately, the expressiveness was insufficient and no tears were formed. The son-in-law-father-in-law rivalry between Reese and the machine is sweet and endearing.
Long Ma's performance was excellent. Sarah Connor was the first woman I've ever seen in my life, and Cameron's ex-wife showed her quite deeply. But Long Ma is not inferior, on the contrary, it is more sexy and cute, but it lacks the atmosphere of the 1980s (after all, it is difficult to compare people who have passed the 1980s).
The first Hollywood blockbuster I ever saw in my life was Terminator 2, when I was 7 years old, and it brought me a new world, new idols, and took me on the path of being a movie fan. After watching it more than 10 times, the enjoyment of "Terminator 2" has not diminished at all. On the contrary, with the attention to detail, the charm of the sense of age, the reflection of technology and the sincerity of emotions, I want to watch it again and again. Now being able to see the Terminator in the theater is a great gift from God to the post-90s generation.
And Schwarzenegger was my idol throughout my boyhood. No matter his acting skills, human nature, sense of humor, or filming, he has completely exploded some tough guy stars such as Stallone. I hope that the hero is not old, but since the Terminator can legitimately have gray hair, then Schwarzenegger is not too late. Hope he can continue on the screen and go further in the Terminator series.
PS: There are Easter eggs at the end. It surprises me when I seriously revel in the classic Terminator melody. In addition, children's shoes who haven't seen the trilogy are best to watch it after finishing it, otherwise the surprise and tribute of this film will be greatly reduced, and the enjoyment will not be sufficient. (I'm referring to Cameron's trilogy. As for the "Terminator 2018" piece of crap, forget it).

    It’s quite satisfactory, and I’m back on the path of the first or second part. Various classic bridges are revisited, but the creativity is lacking. It is better than the third and fourth parts, and the taste is still relatively positive (I don’t like the design of the fourth part very much. Set, ran off the track). Several duels were too formal, the characters didn't have time to communicate with each other, and the final form of the Terminator felt like Ultron in the Avengers. A qualified homework, the more you look at it, the more you miss the first two classics!
