"Martian Child" is a kind of sweet and ultimately flavorless drama. The story is simple , David is a lonely widower, science fiction novelist makes the giant decision to adopt Dennis. A child who lives in a world of his own, he is very shy, he claims that he is from Mars and he hates the sun. But it is clear that he is simply a human boy in need of love. The most interesting aspect of this film is seeing the character of Dennis progression throughout the film , from a troubled boy to a happy kid , it was really well done. This film shows that all children need parental love. Although for me, this film seemed too sentimental , it is very touching . David's encouragement to Dennis "never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever give up" is very heartwarming and inspiring. The main purpose of the film is to introduced us to two character , make us love them and see them grow together , their happy and difficult moments. I recommend this film. This is just another reminder for us that, all the children are the flowers of life.

I was so adore to watch it. i'm not fond of dramas but that film caught my attention. i watched it in one breath. the storyline is amazing. David, who is full of imagination and very creative, was not afraid to adopt a child. a weirdo, Dennis, as others called him. no one belived that David could get along with the child. but David was the only one who loved and aprecciated the boy as he was. he finally became a great father for him. David dind't afraid of risk, he didn't listen to everyone, he just tried to make Dennis happy. and he did. even if they had to handle all troubles they faced with. i was truly glad to see that film. i hope a lot of people will watch it and understand how it is important to be a good person and accept people as they are, especially if it is a child.

A magical movie!Yes, this is far from fiction. Rather, on the contrary, the film is incredibly realistic. And do not let it find exciting turns, rapid development of events, large-scale special effects, but it will definitely leave a mark on your soul. Each of us is a whole world, a vast universe, incomprehensible to absolutely nobody except ourselves. How often do we have to exchange this precious abode for a stereotyped set of masks that allow us to meet the expectations of others; and how often we, having reconciled ourselves to the pain of loss, break the same deep and pure worlds of our innocent children. Being yourself is not a crime! And if there is something wrong with the child's world, it is not necessary to pull it out from there with all the might, because you can just pick up the key to it.I was touched to the depth of my soul by the game of John Cusack. He is a great actor, and this is one of his most successful roles in the movie, in my opinion.Beautiful, sad and very touching movie! One of those that makes you seriously think about life after viewing.It seems to me, he is quite worthy

'Martian Child' is a 2007 American film directed by Menno Meyjes and based on David Gerrold's novelette of the same name written in 1994. The film stars John Cusack is a writer who adopts a strange young boy (Bobby Coleman) who believes himself to be from Mars. They try to find common ground. David sees aspects of himself and his own awkward childhood in the boy. The film was theatrically released on November 2, 2007 by New Line Cinema.The film is very fascinating and watching it is a complete pleasure, despite the fact that the plot is quite heavy. Each part of the film complements the picture. Everything is carefully done, especially the musical accompaniment. It does not distract all attention to itself, but helps to keep it in tone throughout the whole film. I want to note the choice of John Cusack. This actor is very talented. His writer in the movie "The Adult World" from 2013 has some similarities with this character. It is probably that this role influenced the actor.It's really nice to look at how a small child learns the world through trials and errors, and through a powerful fallacy. The great relationships of the father and son are transmitted through the screen. Indeed, people find each other quite unexpectedly and help to determine the life path. This is all the charm.
