The terminator, a low-budget sci-fi Film produced by Hemdale Film, was released in cinemas in 1984. As an unprecedented landmark science fiction film, the impact is definitely not only a generation. Laments it in the science fiction movie’s unprecedented, regrettably is after has not come, even if is “the matrix” I can only say is inferior to him.

“Christopher Nolan revolutionized the narrative language and framework of movies, and James Cameron revolutionized the technology of movies,” one person commented. Indeed, while Cameron’s work is not much, from the first director of his works “piranhas 2” in 1981 to 2009 in “avatar”, although middle after 28 years of time, but only 10 works department director, is also starting from 2009, a sweeping global frenzy of 3 d films under the influence of “avatar” hot opened.

Maybe from the content of narration, the two films I chose, terminator and crouching tiger, hidden dragon, have no common features, but from the deep thinking behind the films, I think they share the same, that is, the thinking of love and humanity.
Although the terminator is full of violence, technology and cold blood, his love and humanity are warm, positive and hopeful compared with crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Crouching tiger, hidden dragon is a Chinese film, his fight scenes are more gentle, Chinese kung fu is more implicit, but his expression of love and humanity is pessimistic, desperate. The protagonist found that he really can not keep the heart, love their love, chose to commit suicide. The film is more tragic.

Schwarzenegger plays the 800 model future robot, originally just a cold-blooded robot killer, do not kill the word, only the end, in his view that is just the end, because he does not understand what is life. When the film was released in 1984, someone commented: “in the eyes of a machine, human life is nothing more than irrelevant clutter, no different from a street lamp, a telephone booth or a car on the side of the road.” Without fear, without emotion, everything is just a command — the essence of the machine. Human nature is incomprehensible to a steel machine that has no sense of pain, knows only concrete measures and logical thinking.

But he met John, who did not quite understand and believe these things. Eventually the t-800 understood. In understanding the smile, trust and oath and life, also gradually understand human nature. So when John wouldn’t let him go, he didn’t ask him “Why? Because he understood the meaning of leaving, and at that moment, understood the meaning of tears. Maybe he still doesn’t understand fear and despair, but at least he understands fear and despair, but at least he understands love and pain. At the last moment of his life, he gently wiped the tears from John’s face and held him in his arms, which became a classic and remained in the hearts of the audience forever. “I’ll be back” at the end of the film became Schwarzenegger’s terminator tag.

Schwarzenegger in the expendables 2 in the film also remembered “terminator” jokes by Bruce Willis, “you will be back enough, I will be back.” hope we let us use our own light and heat in the coming years to help our friends as much as possible. Tell them the phrase “I’ll be back” when they’re desperate.

Compared to the terminator’s “I’ll be back,” crouching tiger, hidden dragon is a story that ends as soon as it begins. Li mubai came with his horse, crossed the bridge and entered hongcun village. Walking under the house where the ink painting was half finished, he said to yu xiulian, “every time I shut myself up and sit quietly, I once entered a deep silence. Instead of the joy of the way, I was surrounded by a silent sadness.” Heaven and earth like a melting pot, rivers and lakes more nihilistic. Li he, who lived only 26 years, said something similar: “I don’t know the height of the sky and the thickness of the ground. Only see the moon cold day warm, to fry life.”
Li mubai and yu jiaolong want to figure out their own lives, and they both yearn for freedom. In the bamboo sea, the two men once again sword, shooting involving zhejiang anji, sichuan shu south and other places, this scene is very beautiful, very strong symbolic significance.

Why bamboo forest? Ang lee once explained: “in the Chinese martial arts tradition, the bamboo forest has a profound meaning, especially when it comes to fighting swords.” Bamboo is a metaphor for the hermit, an aesthetic model. This kind of cultural psychology is integrated into the blood of the Chinese people. “Crouching tiger, hidden dragon” expresses emotions that are inherently more subtle and hidden than the terminator.People live in this world, no matter where, at what time, there will always be some things do not happen. But as long as their own heart is always insisted on, they will be on a bright, correct path, although the process will experience some ups and downs.

How do you look at a movie like crouching tiger, hidden dragon? You can start by talking about how king hu and tsui hark are the most recognizable martial arts ingredients in a wuxia film. You can start with li mubai and yu xiulian’s stilted cantonese mandarin, and talk all the way about how chang zhen, a man who doesn’t choose a role, keeps you from getting into the show. Of course, you can get more from the Hollywood studio system, production of “Chinese film”, out of a pile of literary criticism theory, to deconstruct the film vaguely defined river’s lake, identity ambiguous green ghost sword, and the sex between men and women in the play/don’t wrestle (heard that with the diagonal is enough false break). And then you miss the whole beauty of the movie.

So ang lee’s saying “everyone has a green destiny sword in their heart” is actually the embodiment of all corners of the world seen by everyone’s heart. You can see what it is, it is what it is. Yujiaolong steals the sword. What she steals is the power to pursue freedom and unrestrained life. Yu xiulian asks for a sword, asking for a small, calm and steady happiness; But li mubai handed over the sword, isn’t it a swordsman’s duty to do the moral arena, but because yujiaolong’s heart is the same “crouching tiger hidden dragon”, he had to put the sword, the responsibility to carry up, until he put yujiaolong’s heart to adjust well to retire? Everyone can pay attention to the truth that a good sword should be made by a master, but grandpa lang xiong’s product is only li mubai with green destiny sword in today’s world, and added “martial arts” behind the sword, and of course you know that Chinese is more important than the front, not said more important than said out.
