Astro Boy is an indelible memory for people born in the 1960s and 1970s in China. Back then, Japan gave it to China for free, on the condition that Casio's commercials were broadcast by the way.
At that time, even if there was no TV at home, there were also villain books that I could read on the street. When Astro Boy was playing, I was too young to know what it was. Later, when I was a few years older, the TV stopped playing, and I only watched villains. Books, "The Great Forest Emperor" and "Astro Boy" are my favorites to read, the kind of sad feeling I can't forget to this day. In both books, what I see is not the joy, but the pain and the choices you have to go through while growing up.
This movie version is nothing, it's a fanboy, and nothing else. As a cartoon of a relatively children's level, it's okay, but this is not the Astro Boy in my heart.
