I just saw this movie for the first time and didn't catch that. Now that you pointed it out, it broke my heart.

I hate to say it, but I thought it was something she had seen in movies and was the only thing she could remember that might actually help.

Full Circle.

The same storyline was used in the movie "Somewhere In Time". A man falls in love with a woman by looking at a picture of her. When he goes back in time, he finds out she was looking at him and smiling when the portrait was taken.

“We loved a lifetimes worth”

interesting as it was that image, which James Cameron saw in a dream/nightmare while in Rome, that made him come up with the story and the film.

Mines the "hand" death scene from T2.

He also said she looked kinda sad. She was thinking about him but also that he was dead.

Another thing I wonder if people catch on to, is when Kyle is being interrogated in the police station and he goes on saying "He will wade through you" just how prophetic those words ment. Because the terminator literally waded through the cops like they were just a shallow river. Nothing in that building could stop him Which just exemplifies the terrifying truth that behind all that flesh hair and blood, is a literal metal killing machine.

@@DraconX3 Thats right, and at the very end for the terminator he was trying to reach down her throat to "pull her fucking heart out"!

This also brings to mind an avant garde time travel film called La Jetee (1962) which was the inspiration behind 12 Monkeys.

Yeah it's an excellent little touch

Yeah, my brother likes Aliens better than Alien and Terminator 2 better than Terminator. I disagree. I think the original is better for those two, but sometimes the sequel is better than the first one. 20) Star Wars: the Empire Strikes Back (1980) 21) Star Wars: a New Hope (1977) 41) Superman II (1980) 71) Alien (1979) 108) Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan (1982) 124) Aliens (1986) 145) Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Dog Days (2012) 147) Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) 167) Ant Man and the Wasp (2018) 186) Spiderman: Far from Home (2019) 192) Spiderman: Homecoming (2017) 201) Terminator (1984) 220) A Shot in the Dark: Pink Panther II (1964) 273) The Pink Panther (1963)

there is a terminator two? get ouuuuut 🤔

@@ReligionOfSacrifice, I prefer A New Hope to Empire Strikes Back for a couple of reasons. The main reason is, Empire had a great opening but a dull, almost motionless middle & an exciting end. A New Hope never dipped & was on the go from the opening & had a great conclusion. Those two are the ONLY two perfect Star Wars films though, Revenge is in at 3rd & it's damn close to perfect! The other 4 are good, just not as good. Not including the recent 3 chapters. Not even going to try.............. I also prefer Terminator & Alien to their sequels, although Alien & Aliens are damn close!

@@GGGritzer, I disagree. The beginning and end of "Empire Strikes Back" are great, but there is some amazing worlds being shown throughout the whole movie and the actors are already introduced and are having at it with their relationships and interactions and I think was worth all of it. Now the 3rd movie would have been good, but it wasn't. It was no where as good as the ending of the original triology. It could have been better if Yoda holding back to see who was the master sith suddenly realizes he has to step in and attack the Emperor to save the universe and they fight which we all were waiting for, but then Jar Jar Binks fights dunken master style with Yoda and when Yoda kills him the lightening goes into the Emperor who is flying away to see Anakin and Yoda suddenly doesn't feel the need to worry about the Empire as Darth Vader will bring balance to the force. Anakin does with Leia as the meddler in politics and Luke as the Jedi trainer. Then we would know why the lightening approached Darth Vader and then went down the tunnel to the Emperor's dead body. Anakin was not going to be an empty vessel willing to take on possession of the dark force.

@@ReligionOfSacrifice, I loved the first 2 & always will but I prefer ANH a little bit. ROTJ could have been so much better. Kahn's novel is a bit darker & even a bit better scripted. ROTS however I really enjoyed, bar a few dialogue gaffes. Also, a lot of stuff that was cut out should be restored...

As much as I like the second, it dies introduce some pretty major plot holes into the lore that the series never really manages to fix and just glosses over instead.

A low-budget film with the heart of an upcoming director that's got something to prove. You just can't get that from a big-budget sequel. Different vibe altogether.

I'm with you. As great as T2 is as a sequel (one of the best sequels ever IMO) and as a big budget action movie, I like the first one a little more too. The darker, grittier early 80s atmosphere is just more my thing.

What sequelS? they only ever made the one sequel, right? Right!? 😶

@@Uncle_T 😀 Right. I was talking about sequels in general ofc. 😉

If only Terminator Salvation actually replicated it instead of going for the BROWN look that is nothing like that war should look like.

@@metalmugen BIG Facts.

@metalmugen well salvation wasn’t supposed to be the future war yet it was just supposed to be early on John wasn’t supposed to be in it till the end but the studio wanted bale in the film so they forced them to rewrite him into the whole thing

@@jimbowlan5804 And it was a mistake.

And the skull-crushing sound FX in all the future scenes? Pistachio nuts. Because apparently they sound more convincing in audio than real skulls. Um, I mean more obtainable. Um. Whatever. 😮

WOW. Thank you so much for this. Very knowledgeable and encouraging! I appreciate you😊

@@Whimsory Since you're into shows so much, you might want to binge the TV show, "Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles". And skip all of the other films after T2.

Don’t worry Whimsory, you’re not locking yourself into the set of 6 movies and a TV show. T1 and T2 are a necessary pairing, and then you’re done.

..and then stop, because they didn't make any more after that.

@@cjpolett2055 personally I really liked the most recent one, Dark Fate, I felt it's the only of the many sequels that actually did something original with it post-T2. but apparently I'm alone in that.

It's actually a legal requirement. You watch Terminator, you must watch T2 within a couple months.

@@scalefree Couple months? What’s wrong with you man? It should be watched SAME DAY. There are a lot of similarities that James Cameron has put in both movies and you don’t want to forget them by taking too much time in between T1 and T2. If not same day then next day. Also only watch the Theatrical version and not the special extended version.

Well we can debate that lol

@@Glaaki13 Nah. Second was 100% better. Better writing, better more natural interaction between characters, etc.

@@Glaaki13 Not really. Very few people say that number 1 was better than 2. Personal preference, but the vast majority agree that the sequel was better. The sequels after that were not good. Or not as good.

@@haystackbill6187 Big lull period in the second one from the hospital escape to the Cyberdyne sequence. T1 was more pedal to the metal. Once the bar scene happens, its an action thriller to the end of the film. T2 might (or might not) have a better script but the T1 script is leaner with all the fat trimmed off.

@@JSSTyger I mean if you're just into action flicks then sure. If you're more into worldbuilding and less rushed story progression and such then T2 is clearly better. Not to mention Sarah Connor is a better character in it.

Right

I think the word you are looking for overlook

Being born in '87 myself, I don't really have the direct personal nostalgia for the 80s, but I love the decade enough from my experience over the course of my life that I'd follow you through without question. The fact that we'd eventually get into the 90s (my personal vote for the peak of humanity) is also a great motivator.

oh the optimism... the cold war was over, we worked together on the ozone hole, we saw the climate challenge and we looked like we were starting to take it seriously... that exciting new internet computer thing was a wild new frontier and creativity was at it's peak, especially in cinema and music. I prefer to think of it as an alternate timeline. There is no way it can have gone off the rails this bad... maybe a paralell universe that's just so lame its more like satire? @whimsory a great fresh reaction, I look forward to watching as you go through your list! Also, no judgment, but how is it possible anyone could have watched 3 Arnie movies and not one of them a role that earned him his fame lol. Buckle up, cause it's a fun ride... a choppa ride! Yep.. True Lies and Total Recall are a must... Conan the Barbarian if fur clothed oiled mounds of muscle along with swords and sorcery is your thing

you're goddamn right about that.

2023 does suck. But at least KANE LIVES IN DEATH.

go cry Moorman because time has f****** beat you down

I liked the extra scenes besides the ending. I hated that ending

@@micperez819 The SE has the theatrical ending, not the original longer ending that test audiences hated, that is called the Skynet Edition.

As long as it's not the one with Linda Hamilton in 'old' make-up. That one is cheesy.

I grew up with the theatrical version so I think that’s the best (must) version everybody should watch. But you’re right, if they can get manage to watch the special edition with the theatrical ending then it’s the best of both worlds.

@@Jpew2007 Special Edition has the theatrical ending. Other long versions add the "old Sarah" ending.

Yes, he is wearing little foam latex eyebrow blockers right after his face gets burned. It’s a very subtle stage of damage, before his face starts getting ripped up.

I like that James decided to be very realistic with it. But it makes him look so weird and off putting. If he would have left the eyebrows I doubt anyone would have thought anything of it.

Plus his hair gets burned/singed and is shorter too, but it's not as noticeable

I would agree T2 is the best action movie only if Fury Road didn't exist.

@@Kanglar Even with Fury Road, T2 remain on top. Yes, Fury Road has great actrion sequences but T2 has something Fury Road doesn't have and very few action movies have : a message, a question. T2 asks us what makes us different from machines.

And then you have the movies that were so awful, they're downright awesome in their own way. Plan 9 from Outer Space comes to mind.

Aww thank you so much!! I appreciate ya😁

@@Whimsory the special effects were bad for the time. When it was released people were like 'WTF, it looks kinda bad'. 40 years later that doesn't matter.

They shouldn't have deleted his last scene with Reese..

Paul Winfield was an incredible character actor, and always infused quiet humanity in any part he played. He is missed.

The part with the cigarette is really funny, if you know which scene I mean.

@@davidsavage5630 Yes i think it was that scene where he starts to understand that what Sarah and Reese say is true about the T-800

That's why I liked the sarah connor chronicles. I disliked some things it has in common with the sequels but because of the episodic nature it had time to develop characters and it's probably the best terminator sequel

@@bulanet271 Cersei Lannister was an awesome Sarah Connor!

Choosing between 1 or 2 is difficult. 2 was a broad-appeal summer blockbuster action movie, whereas 1 was a low budget horror B-movie. I personally prefer 1 but won't argue somebody on it, haha.

It's kind of funny that Cameron has done the "sequel is as good or better than the original" twice, with T2 and Aliens (possibly a third time with Avatar, but I haven't seen the new one so I can't speak on that one). Not saying one or the other is better, just that it's weird that happened twice (possibly thrice) from the same director no less when the general rule of thumb is that the sequels are worse.

not if it´s a good show..... but threre are only few out there and most of them get canceled soon because the main audience isn´t able to apreciate it...

I saw both movies when they were released and I think they are equal for different reasons. But this movie has the slight edge because it was so groundbreaking and dark.

OMG!! Thank you so much!!!☺️

I couldn't agree more. It's an often overlooked movie with a deep psychological message that's hidden under the guise of a comedy If you take Bill Murray out of it and replace him with a serious actor, then the movie is actually quite dark and brooding.

Great suggestion.

Lance Henricksen has also been killed by an alien (Aliens) a predator (AVP) and a Terminator (this movie).

This made me laugh more than it should have😂

T2 wasn't a patch on this masterpiece.....

There’s pretty stiff competition for that title but T2 is definitely among the top 5 greatest sequels of all time next to Aliens, Godfather II, Dark Knight, and Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.

@@timothymorris157 Such a solid list and it could fall anywhere from 1-5 on it.

@@Dudeamis17 I wholeheartedly agree with you. They’re among the cream of the crop in all of cinema.

😜👊

if only they would have used the books as reference... but those movie´s were clearly made by someone, hating the LotR books... as movies they´re great, but as book adaptions, they´re among the worst ever made....

@@Metzwerg74 Spoken like someone who clearly doesn't have any understanding of the changes necessary in adapting narrative into the format of film.

@@PierceArner yep skipping most of the book and rewriting it so the dumb masses love it sure helps... well no point in arguing with fanboys... bye....

@@Metzwerg74 Removing Tom Bombadil from the first film and the Scouring of the Shire from the final film had more to do with the inherent differences in narrative pacing necessary for making an effective 2-3 hour film being markedly different from how you're able to effectively build and resolve the continuous flow of tension in a multi-hundred page novel. This is largely why other long-form narratives in the streaming era have favoured episodic series over films as there are larger allowances for time that can be allocated to differently paced arcs that more closely match the narrative structures of the written works that that they're based off of. However, those modern long-form series all benefitted from what _The Lord of the Rings_ films accomplished by breaking ground for that type of film being made as one large concurrently orchestrated project, but especially within the fantasy genre after the Swords & Sorcery films had mostly died out to Science Fiction by the mid-90s. That's why they're impressive as cinematic achievements from both a technical, cinematic, and narrative level, even beyond very effectively delivering Tolkien's story. Anyone who's vapid enough to believe that the people who worked on the _LotR_ films had less dedication or understanding of the source material than themselves, or that the only people who love them are just fanboys or the dumb masses is drowning in a sophomoric level of their own ignorance so deep that I'm glad I was spared the dreadful experience of being regaled with any more of your unfounded and ill-conceived hyperbolic drivel about them. And for future reference: No one even asked for your juvenile contrarian opinion on the matter, so next time just keep it to yourself, because it's not an opinion that's worth anyone's time. At least then you'll spare the uncomfortable inconvenience of the whole interaction which is the best thing you could choose to be doing for everyone when you have a thought like the ones you've shared thus far. Until such a time as you can learn when your comments are adding something to an engagement rather than detracting from it - good riddance to you and nothing of value was lost by your timely departure.
