In an age where "Japan" and "aggressor" were equated, and "America" and "imperialism" were synonymous, people probably wouldn't have thought that their once indestructible emotional tone was entertained by an age of entertaining to death. Therefore, when Zhou Libo and other comedians spit out such "revolutionary vocabulary", the audience in the audience is often not at odds, but overjoyed. This time, Japan with the publishing rights, the United States with the creativity, and China with the funds, simply walked out of the entertainment version of "Astro Boy" together.
So history is not always a solid piece of iron, sometimes it is a fragile thing with cracks and cracks. And "Astro Boy", which depicts the future world, is also full of a strong sense of fragility in the real world.
At the beginning of the film, as we described a jaw-dropping "robot world", a metropolis suspended in mid-air, like a city in the sky leading to after the tower of Babel was built, digital is everywhere enough. Let Astro Boy's predecessor, Toby, do whatever he wants, and with a wave of his hands while chatting and laughing, the complicated equations will vanish. Extremely gorgeous visual effects, almost comparable to Europe and the United States. It is almost believed that in the world to come, sin is like a shadow in the sun with nowhere to hide.
However, the sun shines on both good people and bad people. The future of science and technology cannot build a place like the kingdom of heaven. In the metropolis, the world is still bustling for the sake of fame, and the world is for profit. In order to obtain the necessary funds for scientific research, Dr. Tianma and Dr. Cha Shui developed "blue crystals" and "red crystals" with infinite energy. Blue represents justice and red represents evil. The "Ultimate Warrior" is equipped with red crystals. In his opinion, if the world is quiet, there will be no use for heroes who rescue crying and rescue, and there is benevolence and righteousness in the abolition of the road, so he wants to disrupt the order. The first crack appeared in the metropolis representing the future world. Furthermore, if Dr. Tianma's beloved son Toby hadn't died at the hands of the out-of-control "Ultimate Warrior", he would most likely succumb to the Governor's will in the name of promoting scientific research. After being expelled from the Garden of Eden, after all, man was born to death, and the second crack appeared. In order to fill this "crack of life and death", Dr. Tianma poured all his love for his son into "Astro Boy", the latest robot with blue crystals, trying to make undead robots replace mortal people. The future world is nothing but a projection of the real world.
Children who represent life are fragile, and human feelings are precious because they are fragile. Even if Astro had all of Toby's memories and physical signs, Dr. Tianma couldn't accept the "Dad" he called out, and he couldn't tolerate robots tearing up Kant's writings representing human wisdom. The immortal robot is like the thousand-year-old snake demon Bai Suzhen, who has walked the long road to adulthood because of the unacceptability of humans.
Abandoned by his father, Astro Boy, who had nowhere to go, fell to the ground when he broke free from the pursuit of the Governor - the junkyard of old robots. He became good friends with the explorer Gonna from China. What's even more frightening is that, like Bai Suzhen, who repays her kindness, the super invincible Astro Boy also has Achilles' heel, that is, his true identity and the person he loves will die when all his feelings are exposed. By deliberately covering up his identity for the sake of friendship, a third crack appeared.
Before revealing their identities, Astro and Gona had a happy life and used the energy of blue crystals to save Zog, an antique robot from a century ago. The so-called self-help of those who help others, the loyalty of friends and other traditional Chinese values and popular elements have been staged one after another, such as the Internet phrase "don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend"; Zog brought Astro to life; Although he was stunned, he finally went to the rescue; Dr. Tianma embraced the hero Astro Boy who called him "Dad" with tears in his eyes... Astro Boy finally made up all the cracks after saving the world. And after experiencing many adventures, he rediscovered himself and accepted the inevitable destiny, and finally grew into a hero produced on the Hollywood assembly line.
But does the story really end there? The aliens arrive at the end, and the film comes to an abrupt end. Aliens, the cracks that represent the unknown fear of the future, are they not like ghosts, lingering? The cultural and textual disputes brought by the movie version of "Astro Boy" and the comic version and TV version of "Astro Boy" are nothing more than cracks in Astro Boy.
