After watching the whole chapter, I was indeed moved by it. An Astro is also so flesh and blood, not only with developed limbs, but if I think back to the original intention of watching this film, are these really the Astro Boys I want to see? Is it just a by-product? A by-product of the courage and strength to fight with a child's love? Where is an Astro Boy with strength, brains, and ingenuity? Because I can't see an Astro who exists for himself, including the line at the end of the film, Astro said "This is the meaning of my existence", what a blunt line, you are brave, but the description of the screenwriter shows that the character is How pale.
I wonder what happened to the writer? Does the screenwriter want to tell us a literary film about the love of a child or a more innovative presentation of Astro Boy in a fuller and more vivid way, presenting its brave and clever story. . . The writer's focus on storytelling is biased. If it is Astro like this, then it is more like a literary film, such as the emotional entanglement between Toby and his father in the by-product and the continuation of Astro's friendship clues throughout. Astro, which grew up in adversity, makes me think it is more Like the story of Will Smith and the child in the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness", the vivid story of such a vivid character has become so old-fashioned. Maybe this is really the reason for the bleak box office, because you don't need to tell such a story. Astro is a legend, and the interpretation of the legend can be more innovative. It's also a cartoon, "Kung Fu Panda" is quite successful in storytelling and character characterization!
In my impression, the whole story paragraph occupies 2/3 of the space, and only the big paragraph in the last 20 minutes of fighting with "Red Core" allows me to see the "great" of the real Astro Boy, but it still makes me regret Or maybe the screenwriter deliberately wanted to add jokes: the highlight of Astro's boss fight, or Astro's accidental discovery of supernatural powers from it, or the help of human companions, this arrangement is too dramatic, it seems that this will make Astro itself. The characteristics of bravery and intelligence have weakened a lot. I still want to ask: where is the real Astro Boy? ! Because throughout, Astro is portrayed as a by-product living in the shadow of his father and existing for the father who made it. More of its psychological activities are the love of children, rather than solving problems with ingenuity, including the machine fights in the circus, Astro seems so helpless.
I think a lot of people, like me, went to Astro Boy for the bravery, intelligence, and 100,000 horsepower of this cartoon character. However, watching the whole chapter, what left me the deepest impression was the emotional thread, and the story that perfectly presented a side-product of a cute and smart Toby. Imagine if other cartoon characters were used to endorse this story, the real Astro Boy was ruined by such a story.
Why didn't the screenwriter focus on the father-son relationship, and put more brush and ink to depict the brave and resourceful Astro and vividly show it to the audience? This should be the Astro Boy that more audiences want to see! What a great movie it would be if the story had been recreated!
