Dear child, did you cry today

When I was watching this movie in the cinema, the excited shouting of the children when they saw Astro Boy appeared not only did not make me disgusted, but made me feel a little inexplicably happy, because this is a movie that should belong to them, although the hit It's a sign of nostalgia.
Speaking of nostalgia for Astro, I didn't watch Astro's cartoons when I was a kid, I watched the villain book Astro. What impressed me most was the birth process of Astro Boy. Dr. Tianma's child died in a car accident. Under great grief, he created Astro Boy. After Astro Boy was chased away by him, it seemed that Dr. Cha Shui took him in. , making him truly become a powerful Astro Boy.
What touched me the most in the movie was that Astro Boy was chased away by Dr. Tianma and left the Sky City, where he remembered the place where he was born, to the junkyard where the abandoned robots were disposed of. At this time, he felt aggrieved, sad, lonely and helpless, all kinds of feelings were mixed, and his young mind was greatly tortured. But the later paragraphs of the movie return to the old routine of the entertainment film, which is not very meaningful.
Abandoned by his creator, human beings have since entered the prehistoric world, which should be an important motif of human art. There are similar stories in ancient and modern China and abroad, which can be traced back to the story of Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden. Later people said that people are born alone, and the encounter between Adam and Eve, the first ancestor of mankind, told us this.
Similar to the plot of "Astro Boy" is Spielberg's sci-fi movie "Artificial Intelligence", which is also a metaphor for the fate of human beings being abandoned by telling the experience of the exile of small robots. In "Artificial Intelligence", there is a robot kid named David. He made it to comfort Monica, who was suffering because of her son's illness. Later, Monica's son Martin returned home in good health. David is abandoned in the forest by Monica. David was designed with love. After being abandoned, he spent his whole life looking for and waiting for the love of his lost mother. Obviously, from an artistic height, "Astro Boy" cannot be compared with "Artificial Intelligence". The reason for Astro Boy's abandonment was a bit simple and rough. It was because he folded the book into a paper plane, and Tianma didn't like him anymore. Isn't that the nature of children? Tianma's real son Toby was a naughty little boy when he appeared on the scene. Hasn't he done something similar? Tenma still doesn't like him the same. There is also the sentence "This is my destiny" that Astro Boy left to Tianma before facing a powerful enemy.
Like the so-called "blockbusters" in the past, "Astro Boy" is just a popcorn movie whose technology and pictures are bigger than thoughts and emotions.
