How sad is this?
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
A gripping and emotional stroy of betrayal and redemption, The Kite Runner is thrilling and moving, sometimes both at once. The story revolves around Amir and Hassan, the closest friends, as good as brothers who are experts in the art of kite flying and see not hiatus in the games winning. It's the time of the year when the kite flying competition is about to start in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan when war draws upon the people and the innocence of a child. Amir commits an act of betrayal towards his best friend Hassan which will continue to haunt him for the rest of his life. Amir and his father are forced to flee to the States and, Amir's quest for redemption reeks out from every aperture of his days. Hossieni's narrative can be deemed lethargic and marginally sufficing. The slow paced story fails in keeping the readers committed after ' The Sultans of Kabul' part with each other. The books introduces the audience to the Afghan life, strange and fascinating which are both oddly familiar. Hossieni's writing has a great balance between being powerful and clear, as the story itself is brilliantly constructed and explores the art of storytelling. Moving towards the modern era, Amir himself dons the hat of a writer and reflects upon his experiences as pieces of his life were itself fiction. All in all The Kite Runner is a beautiful read and for recondite and abtruse community as it delivers upon the sense of fate and justice as Amir heads back to make a different set of sacrifices. The book is plenary of human emotions and the contemporary work of Hossieni leaves you with a subsisting end.
This main character never forgot the memory with one of the best friends.He got back to take back his child who lost his father.I think he has suffered betrayal on his friends.So,even when he had a injury on his face,he never gave up to get a son.The last scene is good.He could remember what the friend said to him.
All the tension from the story is gone. Forget the novel. The story itself lacks the tension of a barbaric culture that sells the women and the bride and groom still meet at the wedding. The savage rules are vaguely hinted by showing the mother watching the young couple. The wedding does not happen overnight. And generally every tension is played down. This movie is precisely what Hollywood is accused of: making everything PG13 for the Christian fundamentalists.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
Having finished the book literally an hour before putting on the movie, I will say that I was disappointed with the adaptation. More disappointed than other movies I've seen that have been based off of books I've read. I feel like they missed very very important points in the movie that was covered in the book. The movie overall just felt rushed, compared with the books. I feel like it should've shown more of Amir's time in America, and him falling in love with Soraya. The incident with Sohrab and the motel, Sohrab's reluctance to move back to the U.S with Amir... All in all, I don't think I can give this movie a fair review, since I'm mostly rating it off of the adaptation of the book. The actors were great, and cinematography was fantastic. I just wish they didn't miss such key points, the points that made me so emotional in the book.
