Little Boy [Film and TV Commentary]

The story takes place in an American coastal town during World War II. The eight-year-old boy Pepper (played by Jakob Salvati) is born short and thin. For this reason, he is often bullied by his peers and is nicknamed "little boy". His best friend and partner is his tall and burly father James (Michael Rapaport). With his father's guidance and company, Pepper spent a wonderful time. Until his father was drafted into the army and participated in the battlefield of World War II. Just when Pepper was expecting his father to come home, bad news came. His father was taken as a prisoner of war by the Japanese army in the Philippines, and his life or death was uncertain. At the same time, Pepper and his brother London (David Henrie) vented their war hatred on Hashimoto, a Japanese man in the town, for which both brothers received corresponding punishments. In order to educate Pepper, the priest gave him an "ancient list". As long as he completed all the tasks on the list, he would have the faith and strength to move mountains, and thus be able to remove his father from the battlefield of World War II.
