little boy
I watched the movie little boy last night and I really enjoyed this film. It has a lot of really good lessons and morals that I think can be valued. This very small boy is very attached to his father and they are best friends. This boy is also ridiculed by some of the other boys in his town so this creates an even bigger attachment to his dad. It is set in the war time with japan and pearl harbor and his brother can't go to war because he has flat feet so his dad ends up having to go. This crushes the family because he is such a central part of the family. The family finally finds out that he is taken as a prisoner of war and is missing. So this little boy goes to the Reverend for help to bring his dad home through faith. He tell him to befriend a Japanese man in the town. He doesn't want to because people will be angry with him but he wants his dad to come home more so he ends up making friends with this man so much so that when the man is in the hospital about to die he is desperate for him to live. I won't spoil it if you haven't seen it but it really has wonderful lessons of faith, hope, and charity all rolled up into one movie. I quite enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good movie to watch.

Ohhh, that sounds like a movie my wife would enjoy very much. It reminded me of another movie called Life is Beautiful. It's about a Jewish son and father, set during World War II, who are in a concentration camp. The father was able to smuggle his son in (usually they separated the men from the women and children) and keep him hidden so as to protect him. It is a great movie, and one I recommend, especially if you want to laugh and cry within the same movie.
