Terminator.2

Two entities arrive from the year 2029: the T-800, a cyborg identical to the one that hunted Sarah in 1984, and the T-1000, an advanced prototype made of liquid metal capable of shapeshifting.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day endures because it is a paradox: a $100 million summer blockbuster that is deeply sad, an action film that hates violence, and a story about machines that is profoundly human. By deconstructing the monster and turning him into the messiah, James Cameron argues that identity is not fixed. The T-800 is reprogrammed by a child; Sarah is reprogrammed by a machine; the audience is reprogrammed to see Arnold Schwarzenegger not as a villain, but as a tragic hero. In the end, the film’s greatest special effect is not the morphing T-1000, but the single tear that rolls down a metal cheek. That tear, more than any explosion, is the real judgment day: the day we realize that compassion is the only thing worth saving.
