Bad taste...

Rating: 4/10 (11 April 2016)

So, this is a "cute" story about a little boy who's determined to do what may be needed to bring his father back from the war. He hears in church that even a mustard seed-sized faith may make you capable of moving mountains, and he takes it literally (and he proved he was somehow capable of it...). A priest gives him a list of "tasks" which are required of him to bring his father back (but only if it's God's will, the priest says). Apparently, the intention of the priest was to stimulate the boy to be sympathetic to other people's suffering, but the boy takes everything literally. Overall, it's a "cute" story, apart from the explanation of the boy's nickname (and the title of the movie...) "Little boy" came out to be the name of the bomb which the Americans dropped over Hiroshima!!!!! So, in a way, the "little boy" was responsible for the end of the war, and this was the most celebrated fact in the whole movie... Are you kidding me?? Do anyone think this is cute or something like it? A bomb over Hiroshima?? For me, this "little boy" link demonstrated an extremely bad taste! I could have scored the movie as 7, but after that, 4 was my score. It was horrible!
