Peace is precious

The suffering that war brings to people is immeasurable, as a line in the film says, they are not sacrifices, they are just taken from their lives. What we finally saw was just a series of numbers, telling us how many martyrs devoted their lives to the battlefield and how many victories they gained, but it is these cold numbers that bring about devastating suffering to every family. It was the father of the child, the husband of the wife, the child of an elderly mother. When he went to the battlefield as a soldier of his motherland, what he maintained was the fate of a family

At the end of the film, when we found out that my father's identity was mistaken, and it turned out that my father was still alive, we were happy and fortunate, but we have to admit that for another family, it may mean that all hopes have been lost.

May the world be at peace and there will be no more wars.

    After the Pearl Harbor incident, strong anti-Japanese sentiment spread in the small town of O’Hare in the United States. The most unpopular one in town met by chance for friends, and completed the list of beliefs in order to get his father home. Watching such a children's movie, I was soaked with tears several times, and the warm and kindness permeated it with a hit. The little boy succeeded in moving objects in the air three times, and the stage earthquake and atomic bomb were miraculously touching. May this little boy with superpowers on the hills and the sea remain innocent forever.

    The chicken soup movie from the perspective of a little boy is not bad

Little Boy quotes

  • Fr. Crispin: If we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move the mountain. If we can move a mountain, nothing will be impossible for us. Not even with ending this war... and having our love one back.

    Ben Eagle Narrator: [thinking of the magician he had seen] I already knew someone who could move a mountain. I wondered if the source of his powers was the mustard seed.

  • [first lines]

    Ben Eagle Narrator: [narrating] This is O'Hare, California. Back then it was nothing more than a sleepy fishing village, with a hill at the end of Main Street. Like you see in postcards. My story takes place on the home front, in the midst of World War II. That's me, the little fella.

    Photographer: [motioning to the youngest]

    Little Boy: Closer?

    Freddy Fox: [ribbing him] Stop causing trouble, you midget.

    Ben Eagle Narrator: Nobody in that town liked me much.

    Photographer: One, two, three.

    [flash]

    Ben Eagle Narrator: I was eight years old. But the story really starts the day I met my dad. My only friend. My partner.

    Nurse Barbara: He's a boy!

    James Busbee: Wow! He's so...

    Nurse Barbara: What? Little?

    James Busbee: Well, he'll grow. Right?
