The Return of Astro Boy

51 years ago, the comic character "Astro Boy" created by Osamu Tezuka, the father of comics, was created by the Chinese, Japanese and American teams and returned to our attention in the form of a movie. To be honest, we were born after the 70s. Because we were too young, we still have a clear impression of wearing a pair of red boots, the signature flying attitude, and the exciting theme song, but we can't really remember it. what details. But 51 years later, this little hero is no longer just a robot walking around in shorts, but has grown into a "juvenile" who knows how to explore himself, understand family and friendship, know how to cherish the earth and human beings, and still fight against evil forces . After "AI" and "Pinocchio", Hollywood has once again successfully given a robot image with human feelings, and it is still the feelings of innocent children.

A Japanese classic manga image is recreated by the United States and China, which will inevitably make this film mixed with a very discordant flavor. The Robot Three Musketeers gags are unquestionably the classic humorous mode of American cartoons; the lines that say you're Chinese or from China when you meet people are really unpalatable. The film also added modern Internet catchphrases such as "Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend", "Awesome", "You are too talented", "Tangled", etc. I personally think that although it is funny, there are always some that are out of tune with children's films. Oily feel. Besides, the new version of the story has nothing to do with Tezuka Osamu's original except for the characters. Therefore, if you just walk into the cinema with nostalgic feelings, your friends may shout, "Give me back the purebred Astro Boy". However, from the perspective of "punishing evil and promoting good", "environmental protection", and "cherishing family and friendship" that the film promotes, it is still a very good fairy tale. Therefore, in addition to hilarious belly, watching the scene that makes people tearful is definitely a recommended sight.

Friends born in the 1980s did not know that Astro Boy existed, and confused him with Pinocchio who eventually turned into a real little boy. For such audiences, there is no comparison between the old and the new, and it is enough to simply accept that this is the story of an innocent and kind child growing up. So, when I saw her laughing, I was very happy and loud, and when I was moved, tears flashed.

Although the movie version of Astro Boy's storyline is old-fashioned and simple, and the thrilling and spectacular fighting scenes can't make up for the emptiness and stupidity of most of the characters, this teenage version of the superman story can still arouse people's inner sense of innocence and kindness, so This image, which has existed for 50 years, is bound to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is also worth mentioning that I, who was originally against the dubbing version, unexpectedly discovered that the dubbing of Xu Jiao, Astro Boy, is really not an ordinary praise. It really has potential!
