Kite Runner, the movie
this is the same "Kite Runner" which i posted recently. after reading the book and watched it on big screen last night, i couldn't help but recommend this movie. it is a must-see movie. i was deeply moved by this film, the depth of every character.
Kite Runner is about friendship...between Amir, son of a successful businessman Baba, and Hassan, son of their servant Ali. an unlikely friendship misunderstood by many Afghan children.
about betrayal... how Amir betrayed Hassan, who would always protect him and despite all the tragic odds remain faithful with their friendship. (ahhh.. i couldn't help but hate Amir. he is the an arrogant kid and the least sympathetic characted in movie. ironic as he is the main character, maybe it could have been better if it was Hassan or perhaps Baba)
about war...how it ruin lives, a tradegy best seen in Baba. how a once powerful man takes a lowly job in America after their exile.(he is the most moving character in this movie). shows the worst of the Taliban... indeed, "there is no shame in war."
there is a way to be good again... in the end, Amir makes up for his mistakes. (duh, too late. how painful to find the truth of his own lineage when everything was already gone)
kite runner is actually not about kids flying kites (no wonder why there was a kid in the movie house who fall asleep)not for those who are bored with words because the movie was all about listening, or should i say, reading the subtitles (?)but for those who wanted see what a great movie is all about.
