When it comes to war, one will think of the phrase "Xing, the people suffer; death, the people suffer" in "The Hillside Sheep. Tong cares about the ancients". The war has caused ordinary people to lose their tenderness with their families, and the war has also brought about contradictions and conflicts between ethnic groups and regions. The film starts from the perspective of a little boy and advances in the form of a play within a play: the little boy who has been teased by his peers because of his height is eager to have the superpowers in the movie, in order to gain the recognition of his peers, and more importantly, to stop the war as soon as possible by his own strength. , reunited with his father. Is it funny? It's really ridiculous, small bridges, flowing water, mountains and seas are often not based on human will. But when you think about it, it's not ridiculous at all, and even makes people feel admirable. The belief and pattern of the little boy are exactly what many people lack: what he is waiting for is not only his father, but also a partner who understands him best; he hates It is war, not one color, one race; his life is full of hope and rush, never depressed. Fortunately, fate has indeed gifted him, he resolved some people's "prejudice" against Hashimoto, and his father "resurrected". The film climaxes at the last minute, bringing tears to my eyes. Love and peace are eternal themes, and I sincerely hope that life can be more fairy tales.

Measure the distance between the top of your head and the blue sky, now you are no longer a boy, you are a man.

    Neither high-end nor vulgar, nor rigorous nor farce. ★★★

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.

    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.
