Arnold Schwarzenegger could be the state governor of California now but he sure did some great action movies and come on let's face it. Without them the 80's would have been so boring.
The Terminator is a lot of fresh air into our own faces. The story is simple: An apocalyptic vision of the world in a few years then... Nuclear War and a woman is the key to humanity's salvation. Guess who comes from the future to kill her... yes you guessed, our little Arnold.
This bold, explicit storytelling is straightforward to the objective and the peek of the movie as James Cameron always showed us. No bullshit needed to be said, what the movie needs, it's there and the rest is disposable. And the Terminator everything is there. Action, science-fiction, thriller and romance. Arnold Schwarzenegger amde his international breakthrough with this film and started an the action star career for good as a taciturn superman.
James Cameron succeeded in creating a formally persuasive filme. The Terminator is as convincing as the new visual language, which allows the audience to see with his eyes, thus dissolving the borders between humanity and artificiality.
It's a great action movie from the 80's. Without them our little 7th art would be more poor. It's all about making good cinema and "The Terminator" is a damn good one. Thank you Mr. Cameron. Thank you Arnold. Enjoy this precious piece of the 7th art.
