Terminator 2: Judement Day Film Analysis
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
is an American science fiction action film sequel to The Terminator directed by
James Cameron in 1984 and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film follows a
cyborg assassin sent back from the future to kill Sarah Connor and her son who
is the leader of the Resistance in the future. They are protected by a less advanced
cyborg. The success and critical acclaim of this film led to a continuation of
the instalments.
The characters portrayed
are wearing worn out clothes which suggests they have just had a battle. This
viewpoint is supported by the fact the characters are also being within personal
distances of each other which imply they are acquaintances and have fought
battle together.
The facial expressions of
the characters as well as their posture suggest the exhaustion they are
experiencing. Their facial expression is also emphasised by the dullness of their
clothing which doesn’t draw the attention of the viewer. Icons used throughout
the film such as the characters half robot face and the woman’s utility belt
help the viewer associate the film with the science fiction genre. As well as this
and the shot features low key lighting which is often used in mysteries. There
is indoor florescent lighting on the wall and a hanging rail which sets the
scene of an industrial area.
