Little Boy; a movie

After a tough day chocked full of phonies, you guys probably need a palate-cleanser. The folks at the production company of this new movie coming out next year by the name of “Little Boy” sent us some stuff about the movie. It looks like a pretty good flick about a son’s love for his father who went off to World War Two. And it’s about Faith.

Set during the height of World War II, the film centers on a little boy, Pepper Flynt Busbee (Jakob Salvati), who is willing to do whatever it takes to end World War II so that he can bring his father home. Through his struggle, Pepper learns lessons of morality, such as the value of self sacrifice, how to face the town’s bullies (at times hilariously depicted), the importance of racial equality, and many lessons in between.

This heartwarming family film expertly captures feelings similar to those recognizable in so many great American movies.

Here’s the trailer;

  2. I take it the double-entendre is intentional? A “Little Boy” who wants to do whatever is needed to end WWII?

    2. That was my first thought at seeing the title, “what, they’ve made a movie about the second atomic bomb?”

      1. First nuclear weapon, actually.

        Little Boy was the enriched uranium/gun design used at Hiroshima, and was indeed the first deliverable nuclear weapon ever used.

        Trinity – though the first man-made nuclear detonation – was a completely different design (spherical nearly solid plutonium core/implosion), but was not a deliverable weapon as detonated. The design was quickly weaponized as the Fat Man bomb and was used 3 days after Hiroshima at Nagasaki.

  3. I have rules for watching tearjerkers.

    First rule: Don’t watch a painful tearjerker unnecessarily. (e.g., I have never seen Old Yeller. Ever.)

    Second Rule: Never watch a tearjerker in a theater.

    Third Rule: Never watch a tearjerker with company. (And that includes my wife.)

    That’s it.

    1. Good advice. I haven’t seen Old Yelled in over 30 years but I have a constant reminder of the movie in my dog Blondie, a Lab/Rottweiler mix who has “posted” here as “Mustang1LT’s Dog”. That movie tugs a little too hard at the heartstrings, no doubt.
