Always remember, there will be reverberations.

Simple plot and deep feelings The plot of
Little Boy is simple. Because of the war, the little boy’s partner-his father went to the battlefield, and the little boy looked forward to his father’s return with sincere actions. But every little thing in a simple plot story is based on the most true and profound emotions in the character's heart, and it is precisely this that makes us feel that everything the little boy does is reasonable and moving.

In the desperate situation, we can do more besides complaining and waiting.
After learning that the father of the little owner boy was captured, almost everyone in the town felt that he would not come back. Even the eldest son, London, acquiesced in not having a father's life. In time, her mother would not allow others to mention the death of her husband, but she still admitted in her heart that he would never come back. For the little boy, his only partner, the most trustworthy and closest person, may never return to his side, and the blow to him is unimaginable. The despair faced by the little boy is something that no one can feel, but he did not accept this fact like others did. Instead, he believed Father’s words that he could get his father back after completing the things on the ancient list, the priest’s Kindness is helpless and gratifying, but for the little boy, this is the only way to get his father back, so he strives to do things that he or others have never done-at least to make friends with Japanese people can’t be done by others. . In the face of extinction, everyone stagnated and gave up, but a little boy showed admirable great feelings-fearlessness and courage.

When everyone teaches us to compromise and adapt, Little Boy tells us to persevere.
We all believe in perseverance and belief, and we all believe that they will have great power. But in the long-lasting despair, we are more willing to listen to the teachings of "compromising and forgetting", and it is difficult to stick to the truth of "persistence and conviction". Because giving up and adapting are the easiest to do, or "the most cost-effective and economical". We can't wait and insist silently in this fast-moving wave, so we often turn our heads without seeing the dawn of faith.

Belief and perseverance can shake anything and are the greatest force, just like the line in "The Great Master": Never forget, there must be an echo.

    The sour smell of chicken soup

    War is cruel and desperate, but with a child’s perspective, it is a kind of softening and hope. The powerful force of family affection is slowly revealed in a scene of warmth but firmness. The theme of anti-war is thought-provoking, so simple. The almost ridiculous thoughts of the children made a group of adults deeply moved and heartbroken. Because they are children, they are even more thrilling.

Little Boy quotes

  • Pepper Flynt Busbee: How could I get bigger faith?

    Fr. Crispin: [slams down a large Bible and extracts a small piece of paper] The list, the ancient list. For centuries, people believe that if you do this list, it'll make your faith powerful. This is what you have to do. Feed the hungry. Shelter the homeless. Visit those in prison. Clothe the naked.

    Pepper Flynt Busbee: Naked? How is that supposed to...

    Fr. Crispin: [pressing on] Visit the sick. Bury the dead. Oh, just one more thing. In order to make this list work for you, I'm gonna add one essential item.

    [writing]

    Pepper Flynt Busbee: "Befriend Hashimoto?" Are you crazy?

    Fr. Crispin: It's your choice, Pepper.

    Pepper Flynt Busbee: What does that Jap have to do with anything?

    Fr. Crispin: Everything. Your faith won't work if you have even the slightest bit of hatred in you.

    Pepper Flynt Busbee: Fine. I'll do it, if that's what it takes to bring my dad back.

  • Pepper Flynt Busbee: I need to end the war. My dad can't come back until it's over.
