Before watching "Children of Mars", I thought it might be a sci-fi film with a touch of human warmth; however, after the opening 10 minutes of the film, I knew it wasn't - but it was a tune I liked, A restless little soul resists this hard world with its soft tentacles, and then makes peace with it.

When the childish Dennis sat on the big green and fluffy lawn and told David in a small, alien-like voice that he could taste the color, David's disbelief was a little bit of disdain, and a little bit of surprise. He put a red M&M's bean into Dennis's little mouth.
"Red."
Dennis, who covered his eyes with his hands, replied calmly and without hesitation, but David still couldn't believe it: "You peeked, come again." So Dennis tasted yellow, green and orange again... until you hit a blue one. Dennis chewed the little chocolate bean in his mouth and didn't speak for a long time, "Haha, can't guess it! This one is blue."
"I know, I can't taste blue."
Dennis sighed ,open one's eyes.

At that moment, I really wanted to believe that this little boy with light blond hair came from another planet. There might be a small volcano on his planet that he used to cook every day. his roses.

But the Americans were determined to make the film a sensational ethics drama. At the end of the review, it was revealed that Dennis's alien delusion was just a scar of distrust of the world caused by being abandoned by his parents. Once someone loved him and protected him, those strange fantasies were automatically resolved.

Although such a tail completely cuts off the connection with the alien signs of Dennis that have been shown with great effort, and greatly reduces the rationality and coherence of the film, but who cares? Producers believe that a happy ending is the guarantee of the box office, and movie theaters have always had a mysterious power that makes the audience's logic sleep.
