Summary/Abstract: The text is an anthropological interpretation of the trilogy "Terminator". Radkowska says the makers of the sequel about the terminators who never stop and the people who can only be stopped by American anti-nuclear shelters did not intend to embarrass spectators. Spectators are not required to reflect on the differences between a man and a machine because these are clear. They only sometimes instruct spectators that responsibility for the future lies in people themselves. "Terminator" first of all examines the difference and the machine, unlike "Blade Runner" that confirms the difference. Despite the seemingly non-Hollywood ending, the film is very optimistic because it is not about a happy ending but that we quietly keep our mental habits and patterns.
