The tears of a child are the most touching

Belief and action are things that our modern people are increasingly lacking, because we always think that we have seen through the rules of the world and the laws of nature, including myself, but this is not the case. The film sees the world from the perspective of a little boy. Before everything is settled, you must be beautiful in your heart, believe in miracles, and use actions to defend your faith. The war has forged feuds among nations. People look at their skin color first. The same goes for the United States, which claims to be democratic and free. The conflict of national interests should not be between people. Adults understand, but little boys don’t, but he knows how to stick to the right thing—believe in miracles, and let his father, who is trapped in a foreign country and his life and death, return. He did it. Movies originate from life, with loss of faith, selfishness, and negative energy all around us, visiting prisoners, visiting patients, giving the feeling of homeless people, making friends with "enemies", and inviting friends to eat at home. . . We can do all these, but we will not do it because it has nothing to do with us. The film quotes Eason Chan's line at the end of "The Couple of Nervous Heroes": "Life should not be too realistic to have hope, right?"

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.

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.
