I will definitely take my child to see it, it's too justice.

MD, I went to the theater to see it. I didn't expect to see this film. I had several urges to cry. I squeezed myself a few times to warn myself not to be ashamed.

Probably it is the feeling of loneliness brought about by the difference between humans and machines. I think it's not because of the movie, but because watching the lonely Astro Boy reflects the self in real life. Lonely child. Lack of recognition.

I probably thought of watching Osamu Tezuka's other works in middle school, feeling the gloom inside and the in-depth discussion of human nature. Then I thought of the righteous self in middle school, and the contradictory self that was moved by Shi Tiesheng's article after a short run to read comics in class.

I probably remembered that I once loved the happy ending of justice over evil, and my blood boiled with enthusiasm every time I saw similar scenes.

Probably...

just now. Living in a deep water delusional to throw a stone and hear the echo, but still sinking into the sea.

Where are you going?

Just like when humans start to slaughter robots one day, Astro Boy, what do you do?

Fortunately, this clean movie makes people free of distractions, and suddenly felt that children should watch this kind of simple world view more, so that their childhood is not complicated and only justice triumphs over evil.

Thinking of this, the only reason I am now, recalling the pure beauty of the past, can only sigh with emotion, but can't go back.

    'Our Friends' Narrator: [in CGI] robots do a lot of things that, frankly, we just don't want to do anymore.
