Combining two classic films to discover the powerful message of our future at the core.
SPOILERS for 'The Terminator' and 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day'. Obviously. Also for 'Terminator Genisys'
Time travel, war, and deadly machines hardly seem the best tools to tell a story about family, choice, and responsibility. Yet between a 'slasher' film and action-packed chase movie, James Cameron created a deep and moving account of the imminent future of man and machine.
By analyzing both films separately, then how they overlap, I create a new film 'Terminator: Children of Tomorrow' that showcases the underlying messages of compassion, learning, and change that power this movie machine.
'Digging Deeper' is a series taking a serious look (kind of) at films, themes, characters, and various aspects of filmmaking, writing, directing, and more.
