The Martian Child

I rented Martian Child today, and I have to say that I love this movie! It's touching, funny, and it has two of my favorite people...John Cusack and Joan Cusack. There is a scene in the movie that I especially liked. This kid thinks he's from Mars and John Cusack (who adopts him) is trying to get him to be more normal. This is what he says...


"Right now, you and me, here, put together entirely from atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron held down by this force that so troubles you called gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour and whizzing through the Milky Way at 600,000 miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light. And amidst all this frantic activity, fully cognizant of our own imminent demise, which is a very pretty way of saying we all know we're going to die, we reach out to one another. Sometimes for the sake of vanity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough? What the heck do you need to be from Mars for?"


I strongly recommend you all see this movie. I am definitely going to buy it. It was great! Have a good day, love you, bye!
