Little Boy is very odd. It mixes Christian values with a Rhonda Byrne mentality verging into the magical. The young boy is challenged by his priest to perform the corporal acts of mercy in order to bring his father home from the Pacific War. The parts where he befriends another societal outcast - a Japanese gentleman - are good, but then he gets the credit for “moving a mountain” when he stands by the beach drawing his father home with his will, and there is an earthquake. His nickname, given to him by the town bully, also plays into the Hiroshima bombing. We see people dancing in the US street while Hiroshima burns. ( )
