Dennis has to think that he is from Mars, so he rejects the environment on earth and resists people on earth. Is he really from Mars? The film does not give us a final answer. why? Because this is just the best way to escape when you are dissatisfied with the status quo. Is he really weightless? Is he really afraid of the sun? Could he really only eat Martian cookies?
In life, many people will be dissatisfied with the reality and seek a way to balance their inner contradictions. Of course, I am no exception! I used to complain about why I didn't have this, which. But after all, the reality cannot be changed, we can only adapt, there is no other way. Just like Dennis who thinks he is from Mars, just to choose a sense of belonging, a more proud sense of belonging! A deep fantasy! This can only show that he is very stubborn, we will not be like that, because we are no longer children, we already have thoughts and souls.
How do we deal with that fantasy in our hearts? Do you tell this hidden secret in the face of other people? Let others think it's a neuropathy. If everyone from Mars is neurotic, what about us? What are we from other planets?

Martian Child quotes

  • David: Isn't he wild?

    Harlee: He's great, like a little Andy Warhol.

    David: He has the same social skills, by the way.

    Harlee: You know what I think it is?

    David: What?

    Harlee: He's an old soul.

    David: What does that mean?

    [pause]

    David: Seriously.

    Harlee: It just means he's figured it out.

  • David: Sometimes we forget that children have just arrived on the earth. They are a little like aliens, coming into beings as bundles of energy and pure potential, here on some exploratory mission and they are just trying to learn what it means to be human. For some reason Dennis and I reached out into the universe and found each other, Never really know how or why. And discovered that I can love an alien and he can love a creature. And thats weird enough for both of us.
