*Martian Child*


After came back from murni discovery last nyte, I watched this movie Martian Child.

It is a story about a widowed guy (John Cusack) who adopted this 7 y.o boy, and decide to be a parent all by himself. (which of kors a young lady come to the rescue sometime in the story).
David (the widowed guy) works as a sci-fi scriptwriter and has a view of his own on sci-fi stories...

The interesting fact is that the child he adopted actually think he's from Mars...huhu...and he lives in a box all day long, come out only at nyte...read this, he actually think he's from Mars...and speak Martian language, do weird Martian stuff and well, this is what makes David adopt this weird child, cuz he loves space n sci-fi too..and so he thot he cud slowly change the boy...

Due to his weirdness, the school once again drop him off, and he makes almost everybody uncomfortable with such behavior...everybody but David...so it's basically one of those stories about father-son struggle to stay connected to each other...and the adopt agency wants to set them apart n bla..bla..bla...and later the boy admits that he's just pretending to be different for the sake of attention and doesn't feel belong...to anybody...

The thing I like about this movie is that how children interprets situation very imaginatively and how far they can reach...this boy is actually really thot he's from Mars at 1 point, because he doesn't want to be human (due to being abandoned by biological parents)...and he really feels that he's belong to nobody...till David steps in & believe in his qualities to grow up n become great man, and loved him and said that he's belong to David n family...

throughout the story it's actually very ease flow and hilarious moments between those boys, and cute scenes too..but then 1 emotional ending makes me feels like posting this view...it's a really touching scene where David reveals how much he loves the 'martian child' and that he does not care of the boy's weirdness, and he believes that it's actually extra intelligence this boy have...so beautiful moment that was...

"sometimes we forget that children have just arrived
on the earth...
they are a little like aliens coming into being,
as bundles of energy and pure potential,
here on some kind of exploratory mission...
and they're just trying to learn
what it means to be human..."

- Martian Child


it's just one of the way to make some people understand the presence of children, and the reason of their behavior...

so think before u react in front, or to any children...cuz it might affect them deeper n longer than we thot...
