As I finished watching the movie called Terminator 2 Judgment day, I couldn’t stop thinking of the comparisons between Twain’s novel “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” and Terminator. First and for most, the killing of people in order to save lives is seen in both for example: in Terminator Sarah Connor’s philosophy is that killing one person who is responsible for 3 billion deaths in the future is perfectly moral where as in Twain’s novel, the Yankee immorally kills thousands of knights in order to save the lives of those who eventually die at the end by diseases spread by the dead corpses of the knights. But overall, the Terminator movie involved violence with technology against technology. Where a terminator helps defeat another more advanced terminator in order to protect the life of a young boy, who has sent this terminator from the future. One question I have regarding the ending of this movie is that when the terminator destroys the other advanced terminator, also known as T1000, he also destroys him self so there will be no remains of terminator technology in the future. But my question is that before all this occurs the good terminator loses his mechanical arm and the movie fails to explain what happens to that arm. But overall, in my opinion this movie does a great job of portraying the mayhem that can be spread through out the world with the wrong usage of technology.
