Relive the emotion

Under the blow of Dragon Ball, I did not have high hopes for Astro Boy and finally made this film. After watching it, I was glad that I was happy, fortunately, it was better than I imagined. It's not the kind of pure black and white right and wrong, similar to Ultraman's defeat of evil forces. Astro Boy's image and personality are also more loyal to the original work. After all, it is an animation production, which is better than the real one--the Dragon Ball movie really gave me infinite shadows. Although the giant Tezuka Osamu in the comics industry has passed away for many years, his works are still alive. It is the image we were addicted to when we were young, and now it appears on the screen for us to continue to look up, miss, and re-emphasize. Wen moved. Watching this film is like standing today and watching yesterday's tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, will we look back on yesterday and today?

Astro Boy: Are you feeling okay?
Cora: Oh, my Gosh! He talked to me twice! This is definitely going in my diary as the most exciting day of my life!

[First lines]
Narrator: Here we are, floating peacefully in the sky. Metro City, the jewel in the crown. Beautiful isn't it? But how did we get here?
Narrator: [In flashinmation] A century ago, the founders of Metro City, seeing our world was changing, took Mount Sofia and lifted it out of the Earth and into the sky, to be an oasis, a floating paradise.
Narrator: [In CGI] We don't really know what happens these days on the strange and mysterious surface we left behind. But life in Metro City is better than ever, thanks to...
Narrator: [in flashinmation] "Our Friends The Robots". Robots do our shopping. They cook for us. They serve our meals. They take good care of us. They even do the really important things like, reminding us to call Mom on her birthday. Whether it's raising our children, building our buildings, taking care of our city or making sure we're all fit and healthy. For these guys, no job is too big... or too small. Plus,
'Our Friends' Narrator: [in CGI] robots do a lot of things that, frankly, we just don't want to do anymore.
[a robot cleaner gets crashed by a truck]
Boy: [Points at the broken robot parts] Oh no!
'Our Friends' Narrator: Don't worry folks, that street will get clean. The best and brightest of them get picked for the more exciting tasks. This lucky guy is starting the first day at his new job.
[Car crashes offscreen and the researchers writes the results]
'Our Friends' Narrator: aAnd it's all thanks to this man: Dr. Tenma, head of the Ministry of Science, and father of modern robotics. Thanks to him, and the incredible inventions he introduced...
Student: [overlaps] Hey Toby, isn't that your dad?
Boy: It sure is.
Mr. Moustachio: [at Toby] Hush!
'Our Friends' Narrator: Our Friends The Robots helps us. Thousands are created each day
'Our Friends' Narrator: [in flash] and thousands are disposed of in the great unending cycle that sustains life, in our great city. Thanks for everything guys. May you rust in peace.
[Narrators chuckles as Mr. Moustachio turns off the screen]
