? James Cameron on Ecstasy while Writing Terminator 2

In an interview with the Ringer website, film director James Cameron said that the idea of ​​showing the protagonist John Connor as a younger man in Terminator 2 came from a hallucinogenic trip from the drug ecstasy and a song by singer Sting. Arnold's classic Schwarzenegger completes 30 years of release, this Friday (2).

“I was sitting there, high on ecstasy, scribbling down some ideas for The Terminator, and a Sting song was playing where he sings, 'I hope the Russians love their children too.'” commented the Hollywood film director.

“So I thought, 'You know, he's right. The idea of ​​nuclear war is completely antithetical to life.' That's where the idea came from to show John as a boy.”, continued the director. James also commented that it was Linda Hamilton who had the idea of ​​Sarah Connor being placed in a mental hospital, forcing the protagonist to live in foster homes.

James also stated that the choice of the look of the Villain, T-1000, who becomes a police officer, was not by chance: “It represents when we as human beings become exterminators. When we learn to have no compassion. This is not a film about machines, but about when we become machines.” he concluded.
