I actually prefer to call it "John Carter on Mars".

He is undoubtedly a sci-fi film that left a deep impression on me. Although it is not a famous work and does not have any series, many episodes make me reminisce. The plot is not profound. It uses flashbacks to tell the story of John Carter's accidental crossing to Mars. Because of gravity, he has superhuman strength, ending the disputes between the great forces and the threat of the servants of God, and holding the beautiful woman back. At the end of the movie, deceived the angel with a "feigned death", solved the threat on Earth and returned to Mars smoothly, which is a good reversal. The whole film uses a large number of skilled CG shots, showing the human landscape of Mars, etc., which is fascinating. Although the plot is relatively general, the various races and the shapes and appearances of the creatures are very distinctive, and they were deeply attracted by these fantastic and unknown things back then. The protagonist comes to Mars and has supernatural power to become a hero. This is actually a kind of longing and yearning for many people. It is a daydream that occasionally occurs during class. When this kind of dream is really shown in the movie, it is really exciting. Undoubtedly, the supernatural powers like flying in the sky and escaping the earth are undoubtedly the most moving. Just like the special articles "Nobita's Cosmic Development History" and "Superman" in Doraemon's special chapters, Kryptonians came to earth. The yearning for adventure and strength is exactly the spirit of this movie.

  • Tardos Mors: [In Zodanga the wedding procession is taking place, Dejah walks towards her father] I know that this is not the fate you'd have chosen for yourself, or for Helium. But choice is a luxury, even for a Jeddak of Barsoom. Even if in your heart...

    Matai Shang: [Matai Shang is next to Sab Than as they watch Dejah and her father walk towards them] Remember, she is not the prize. The prize is Barsoom.
