The child in the movie is a villain like the little prince from another planet. His face was pale and melancholy, and his golden, soft hair hung down weakly. He shut himself in an abandoned cardboard box, peering through the gap, watching the crowd. He resists the erosion of sunlight, and after coming out of the cardboard box, he wears sunglasses, an umbrella, and a weight belt. If not, he fears that he will float away. He was convinced that he was from Mars. He said: I can see my planet, it's there, see? He said: I came from Mars, and after completing the mission, I will go home.
What convinced the child to believe? Probably when the child was first abandoned, the seeds of fear in his heart were planted early and deeply. You can leave me, I don't care, because I am different, I have a mission. One day, my home will pick me up. This hope has become so strong that it has become all the belief and support for his life. He's not trying to escape, he's just trying to get a place to belong. Everyone is looking for where they belong. If the earth abandons you, then there is no Mars?
Fortunately, he was lucky. He met the most loving father in the world. He is a writer, lost his wife, but still did not give up love. He adopted him and brought him home. It was a happy day. He loves to record and shoot non-stop with a Polaroid camera. He likes to collect all kinds of small things and observe the transfer and corruption of matter. He would talk to him in Martian language, teach him to dance Martian dance, and give him a Martian wish solemnly.
He sent him to school. He leaned down to him and said: TO BE YOURSELF. TO NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP. He is more and more like an ordinary child. But Earth's gravity isn't strong enough to provide enough security. Some weird behaviors caused by those lack of security still made that man explode, why can't you be what I want?
Until his new book was rejected by the booksellers and told him why it wasn't what I wanted. At that moment, he unexpectedly made that child-like strange Mars action. This is a resistance to not being understood and not being trusted. In that moment, I think, he understood more deeply about the child he adopted, the child who claimed to be from Mars.
Every child comes into this world, they are like aliens. The world of Earth is unfamiliar to them. But they also have infinite power and infinite potential, they are learning how to be an earthling, how to get along with earthlings, and being accepted by earthlings. Vulnerable little people need careful love and gentle care. All grown-ups are just blind guides, and no one knows better than anyone else. We can't solve this problem, at least we can still love and support each other, and not be left alone in difficult situations.
"You're my son. You're my home, forever. And I will never, ever, ever...ever, ever...ever, ever, ever... leave you." In the end, they trust and love each other , live happily together.
The union between people does not depend on whether you are from the same planet. If you were that Earth man, would you accept this Martian? Use your warmest smile to warm her lonely heart, stop her abandoned nightmare, and turn to the path of happiness. Because on Earth, you are the only person she believes and wants to trust.
Never ever never never never give up.
We can be special. TO BE MYSELF.
