Little boy

This movie came to me as a surprise. I hadn't heard about it, hadn't seen any trailers and yet I can say that it is one of my top ten movies now. 

Little Boy from 2015 is a War Drama was directed and partly written by Alejandro Monteverde and has a wonderful cast. 

I loved the way the story was told, the way it brought up so many serious and important topics without lifting the index finger with the intention to teach and it uses so playful techniques to do that that you find yourself crying and laughing at the same time. 

It's definitely one of those movies that uses elements of storytelling mixed with an amazing cast that makes it into the collection of movies you can watch many times and fully enjoy each time. At least, that's how I feel about it.  

It was interesting to watch the part about how hard things were back then for Japanese people who had been living in the U.S. for generations, especially with a Japanese friend sitting next to me in the cinema. I loved how the movie worked that topic into the storyline. 

The boy, Jakob Salvati, did an amazing job and I'm sure we'll hear more from him in the years to come. 

Enjoy!
