Hi there, I'm new in this place so I was wondering... What are all your favorite things about these movies??? These are mine:
The Music
Not just the famous theme tune, but the actual soundtrack. Like the very beginning of T1 (during the "the machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire" bit) . Yes I know its synthesised, but it just FITS the movie so well, its cold, distant, dark, subtle. In T2 its continued, becomeing a bit more human (--like the T-800) but still being clever, not too intrusive. T3 I was disappointed by, because they went for the standard hollywood action movie music - huge orchestras and epic swelling music. it just didnt feel right.
and the Tone/'Feel' of the movie:
In T1, it was never meant to be a blockbuster action movie, just a small sci-fi film made very cheaply by relative unknowns. It's dark and gritty, and its also quite serious and real. And the Terminator is really pretty damn scary. T2 is excellent - it takes the ideas of the first film and multiplies by 1000 and its probably the most entertaining of the 3, but I'd say T1 was the most interesting.
I also like noticing really subtle things between the first 2 movies... like how Dr Silberman pauses a videotape of a 'crazy' person in both; Arnie is thrown through a glass window in the same way in both; John running down the corridor away from the t-800 is like how sarah and reese run from it in T1; the t-1000 and t-800 both coming out of the fire...
I could go on for years and years...
Anyway what are your thoughts?????
Who else thinks they should re-release T1 and T2?? In their special editions. I love how in T1 the deleted scene where Sarah and Reese decide to blow up cyberdyne, and thats why they make the bombs, and the factory at the end turns out to be cyberdyne!!! I think that element fits really well with T2.
