Can we reset the switch? | Terminator 2: Judgment Day [Director's Cut]

[@Memovich47]

It's incredible how clean and crisp this film looks even 30+ years later, and the effects really stand up even today.

[@LordMalice6d9]

Its the kind of movie that you get when all of the people involved in the production actually care about what they are making.

It's part of filming on the right material. It's why you can get (some) 4k movies of old films, without too much upscaling.

[@agco1990]

Thought the same

[@MiG2880]

Since Terminator 2, the effects have got progressively worse. Compare the T-800 from the intro of T2, to the CGI T-800s from later sequels. T2 makes the later efforts look like cartoons in comparison. Because that's exactly what they are.

Indeed. If you look closely at the CPU in the brief moment when Sarah looks at it, you can actually see the switch he mentioned on the chip, right below the metal tab, clearly visible.

There was a myth spreading around that Skynet wasn't able to tell the difference between the army and the Soviet army. Like, enemies and allies. It thought everyone was an enemy. Another part of that myth was that Skynet came to the conclusion that starting a war was a mistake, probably because it lost. I don't even think Skynet neccessarily had to be self-aware.

The way they shot the scene with the mirror without showing the camera is pretty ingenious. There is no mirror. That's a fake wall and the "mirror" is actually a hole into another part of the room that's just meant to look like the reflection. The real Arnold is on the other side, facing the camera, while the "Arnold" on our side is a dummy. The real John is on our side, facing the camera, while on the other side is a double, facing away so it's harder to tell it's not him. But what about Sarah? She's facing side-on, so you can see the side of her face on both sides of the mirror and you can tell it's her. The one on our side is Linda Hamilton. The one in the mirror is Linda Hamilton's IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER. The while setup is fucking rad.

Funnily enough, it wasn't removed outside the US. In Europe (or at least here in the UK) the Director's cut was the only version shown on TV and available on video. It was only once they started creating DVDs and used the US theatrical cut as the master copy that these scenes went missing.

I wonder how much of Michael Biehn's performance influenced Linda here. Sarah has all the hallmarks of Reese's traumatized personality; you can see it in her eyes when John's trying to talk her down. Steely and resolute when working, crazed expression and jerky movements when someone gets in her way. She's truly become Reese: a hardened warrior, desperate to do anything against things she's seen that nobody else could possibly understand, and amplified beyond him as a mother protecting her child. Linda at least deserved an Oscar nod for this fantastic job.

Tensor core cpus are massively faster than standard CPUs for neural networks because can more efficiently resolve matrix math. For reference, the modern concept of AI is decades old and was limited by hardware. Most of the basic concepts around neural networks and tensor core cpus existed at the time of this movie. I have no idea if this shits luck, probably is. But if it was it's a great moment of luck.

Also, if not even his mother will listen to him, who will? That last line is what finally makes Sarah relent. Also, Sarah isn't really acting rationally at all there. She is merely trying to destroy the T-800 based on her own fear and resentment of the prior model that tried to kill her. But she has seen what the T-1000 is capable of at this point.

[@HailAnts]

In terms of why Sarah and John do this, believe me, James Cameron thought long and hard about it when he wrote this scene (as when he writes anything). It makes sense, both the switch existing and their decision to flip it off ‘read only’. The Terminators are advanced AI machines. There may have been occasions when Skynet sent them off on long missions and wanted them to be able to learn and adapt to their environment. Most of the time they only needed to follow their standard programming. Remember, adult John reprogrammed him before sending him back, but he probably could only limit this new code to include *’Always protect John Conner and do what he says’.* Everything else stayed the same. Remember the scene when child John starts yelling for help because Arnold won’t help rescue his mother ( _”She’s not a priority”_ ) and the two guys come over to help him and John, being a kid, tells Arnold to _”Grab these guys”._ After grabbing them Arnold then proceeds to try and terminate them, _”Of course, I’m a Terminator“._ John ordering him to help him rescue his mother gave the Terminator pause, he literally paused and thought about it for about 1.5 seconds, before proceeding, deciding that it conforms to his order to obey his commands without necessarily violating his order to protect his life. Then after making him promise not to kill anyone, Arnold still wounds them instead. John wanted to avoid this kind of behavior as much as possible and allowing him to learn would do that. And it would also make him learn to fit in better. Remember to that Sarah didn’t want to reset the switch, she just wanted to smash it and be done with him. This is why Cameron is such an exemplary filmmaker..

[@ericglasgo7828]

What you just said just proves why this scene had been cut. It makes no sense, if all they had to do was hit a switch then why didn't future John do it himself. Cameron even admit this in an interview that there was a simpler way to tell us how the terminator can learn. He was upset he had to cut the scene cause he liked the character aspect but he knew it wasn't needed.

@@randomdude8202 that makes sense, too risky. I could even hear future John saying it

[@nthgth]

Good points and well-presented. I also love this scene for a number of reasons. But I still say the switch doesn't make sense. Not only would Future John have already done that (and asked the question that yields info about it, as young John did), but why wouldn't that be controlled at the software level? What exactly is "read-only" here? Doesn't a CPU need to write in order to be of any use at all? I thought only memory and media are able to be read-only. (and those 2 are really the same thing)

[@randomdude8202]

@@nthgth CPU cant store data, so they need some way to store data. And you can modify data storage units like a book rather than a notebook, which the unit can change. And you don't want it to change the orders it received. Because it can decide that mission is impossible to complete\ and go awol. So future John wants the unit to find past himself as a priority, after the unit finds him in past he can take over and lead the unit. So its not that important if unit gets control over its decisions after it meets John in past.

@Mike Driggs the fact that John Connor was killed makes the movie bad, terminator fans want a terminator movie where we see John Connor leading the human to victory during 2029 and the movie ends with humanity rebuilding itself

[@greenbean2222]

@Mike Driggs And that makes you superior? We don't dislike movies to just hate on them. Dark Fate killed John Connor after all.

killing john connor like that was dumb. If they didn't want him in the film they could just say that he was living a life in another city far from his mother

@Mike Driggs You're not a real Terminator fan are ya? Dark fate was garbage.

[@ezragoldberg3132]

This is actually a pretty important scene and it's incredibly well acted with great special effects. Why would you cut this scene out of the movie?

[@ericglasgo7828]

Because it doesn't make sense, future John reprogrammed it and while he had the chip out he would have notice the two modes and their functions along with the reset switch and would have done it himself. By that point in the war he would have an extreme understanding of their software and hardware. Plus why would the terminators have this function and not use it.

Feminism baby!

[@CerberusGX]

Terminator 3 makes the first two Terminators pointless, and that one turned John into a useless junkie and had a female villain and a female character giving orders to the T-850, but nobody complained about muh SJW feminism back then because the world hadn't turned into a plague pit of festering tumor people yet

[@jayvang7490]

Agreed, it would've been way more interesting if she was left out. The idea that terminators will always exist and a "John Connor" will always exist to fight them, means it's all a long pointless battle of mutual destruction. Which is honestly an interesting analogy about war and humans connection with it.

This scene is part of the key story progression, as Sarah sees the T's complete dedication to John, its gradual evolution as an intelligent being. At end, when she sees that the T really will sacrifice itself, even after it has clearly come to value existing, in the interest of keeping John safe. She takes its hand, and sudden she has taken HIS hand, and realizes that he's close enough to being a person to have respect for and even care about. I always thought it was unfortunate that the didn't end the franchise there. Yes, there were some good scenes and good lines to follow, but they could have left it there on a high note.
