Little Boy
presents the interesting concept that invisible forces can coalesce to make the
impossible come true if the person wishing possesses a pure, loving heart. The story
invokes the phrase, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say
to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move” and uses a boy
named Pepper Flynt Busbee (played by Jakob Salveti) to illustrate a process of
steps that lead to impossible events leaping from imagination into reality. The
movie works through its realistic portrayal of American life in a small coastal
town along the California coast during WWII, the hatred of some Americans for
Americans of Japanese heritage, and reliance upon religious teachers during
times of trouble for advice and comfort to make an average film.
