The kite Runner (2007 Film)

The Plot:
The Kite Runner is the first novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini. Published in 2003 by Riverhead Books, it tells the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, whose closest friend is Hassan, his father's young Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of Afghanistan's monarchy through the Soviet military intervention, the exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime.

Hosseini has commented that he considers The Kite Runner to be a father–son story, emphasizing the familial aspects of the narrative, an element that he continued to use in his later works. Themes of guilt and redemption feature prominently in the novel, with a pivotal scene depicting an act of violence against Hassan that Amir fails to prevent. The latter half of the book centers on Amir's attempts to atone for this transgression by rescuing Hassan's son over two decades later.

An entertaining and sad story! The story is being told with some major events and the film lead you and your mind "couldn't take your eyes off Monica". I'm sure some of you might have fascinated by an older woman when you were younger, in a romantic way. This is surely an underrated movie.

The movie shows the taste of the gramophone record is so charming and you would love it.

Writer: Jojo Moyes

Main Cast:

My Comment:
Story is based on a Novel, Emilia is still the one to watch, her performance brings the movie on a higher level. I like this movie and they could do it on a very sad way but it hasn't. "You can't change the people are, (but)you (can) love them" Life can be up or down and you may wish to control while you can. There is another book call "After you" which is the following story, they are talking if they can make it into a movie.
