When I got out of the screening room, my friend asked me, according to my concept of food + movie, "What kind of dish can "Astro Boy" be made?" I said, what kind of dish the robot eats motor oil. In fact, there was one food in the whole film, and that was pizza. Chinese kids and foreign kids groups sat together watching TV shows and ate the softened pizza.
Seeing his respected boss mentioned by his friends many times, the boss smiled and asked how? I evaded the importance and said something lightly, very delicate.
Standardized pizza and soda are placed on the table, not oil, battery, and quantum blue core, so maybe it doesn’t matter whether the person who tastes it is Astro Boy or Arale.
In fact, even before the screening, you can imagine what kind of movie it will be without looking at the trailer. It is about searching the memory fragments of the post-80s and using them to reproduce larger and more complete products and even product systems. Re-dumping us, this kind of commercial behavior, we have long been used to, accepted, and lazy to resist. The audiovisual expectations that have been bombarded by fatigue can basically be so small that they don't need to be considered.
At the same time, this may have something to do with the time when the original version of Astro Boy appeared. The color repainted version of Astro Boy, which was republished by Fuji Television in 1980 and introduced to the mainland through China Central Television, was far less than "Flower Fairy" for me in 1983. "And "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and even the "Thunder King" that is one of the six gods are very impressive. For Astro Boy, all I remember are "iron arms" and "rain boots" that can be used as rocket jets (￣ ￣!), I haven't even hummed the theme song.
The one who really has memories of Astro Boy should be born in the 70s, right? I think most of the people at today’s test conference are not like the people of Ben Si, so about the memory overlap or the dissociation part, I wait for the comments of the uncles...
but I don’t want to say it. This is also the reason. The 2009 theatrical version of "Astro Boy" became less resistant, and it wouldn't make my heart fall back and forth like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Every detail of the movie is an important support for supporting the scene. The details are like the bricks of the bridge. Only by solid laying can the creator's ideas directly convey to the audience's hearts. As a cartoon, except for CG productions In addition to the details that need to be refined, the details of the story and the emotional line are also the most important, so that the audience's empathy and acceptance are of course traceable. Like many works that are not good enough, "Astro Boy" lacks this point. Before the death of Dr. Tianma and Toby, was it the estrangement or the close father-son relationship between him, and the grief after the bereavement directly led to his decision to copy the psychological changes of a son, and even the little memories of the past between the father and the son. . . No explanation. It is said that one of the most important reasons why Astro Boy made the children happily chasing after watching was that the relationship between Dr. Tianma and Astro Boy could cater to the "generation gap" between fathers and children at that time. Emotional appeal. Even the new generation of film themes directly point to another repetition of "searching for oneself" and even individual heroism. So both lack of emotional expression that resonates, and the classic reappearance of "revisiting" moving, why should they and we watch Astro Boy instead of watching Iron Man again?
If the designated consumer group of this movie is the post-80s and post-70s, then I would like to say that our people who are running three and four are "promoting peace and opposing killing machines", "I am looking for the meaning of my existence", and "this is "Our mission", "This is destiny", "Happy family" and "Father's love" these propositions really don't need the characters in the film to open their mouths to us directly. I think we have the ability to understand Characters, plots, and scenes extracted by themselves. And if the consumer group you are facing is the post-90s or even the baby soldiers who just went to school, then I dare not say directly how they feel when they read these lines.
After reading it plainly, I left plainly. Try not to remind yourself of "UP" and "WALL-E". If you move PIXAR out, then... Obviously you will have trouble with yourself, that is not right, and it is not necessary. To understand from the boss, "Astro Boy" is considered to be half a "domestic film", but to be honest, although the design of characters other than a few protagonists, especially the robot dragon suits, is relatively too simple, if the domestic CG production technology can To reach such a level, it may be a matter of gratitude and even a national celebration. (BTW, as far as the animation works that have appeared so far, as viewers, let’s not pick up and take a look. When "Avatar" comes out in December, maybe the CG world will enter a new era of change. No matter at that time Is it Astro Boy or Transformers? It can only be historical archives. Maybe.)
Regarding the plot, I don’t even need to spoiler. Those funny lines are really ridiculous. Of course, it's still people's self-defense, of course, they are all in their own eyes, at least I didn't laugh.
In the film I saw "Special Forces", "Iron Man", "Transformers", "Star Trek", "Laputa", "WALL-E", "Gladiator", "War Aliens" and even It's "August Lost Love", "Orphans in the Fog"...just the iron-armed Astro Boy who didn't see his childhood.
Just like the pizza I have eaten is seafood flavor or pirate ship, fresh vegetables in four seasons are still pastoral style, I can't remember after eating it many times, anyway, it is just a piece of pizza.
It’s almost the tenth year of the 21st century. Is it time for the dumping focus of the post-80s generation to change and make breakthroughs? Whether it’s the enamel cups in Nanluoguxiang and 798 Lane in Beijing, yellow schoolbags, pencil sharpeners, kraft paper notebooks in street shops in Lijiang and Yangshuo, or T-shirts with slogans of the times, it’s repeated. The supply will eventually become cheap and slow-moving. Like the voice actor Li Zhenhui of the 1980 Astro Boy Animation said, “After the kid next door knew I was Astro Boy’s voice, he came over and poked my arm and asked, is this iron?” This kind of thing, no It will happen again in anyone's childhood.
Memories are just memories, fragments are just fragments, and we can't reproduce our childhood if we put them together and assemble them.
Finally, be kind to "Flower Fairy" and don't let the delicious pizza in your memory become cold or soft, okay?
