I’ve been want­ing to watch this after all the hype and finally caught it this week. An inter­est­ing movie. Shot in a style we’re not very used to see­ing in this indus­try, Ada­ja­nia deserves a few cheers for com­ing up with a film, that if not totally cap­ti­vat­ing, has enough to keep you involved.

It’s been on my read­ing list for a while and I finally man­aged to fin­ish it!

The Kite Run­ner is about two boys Amir and Has­san who grow up in Afghanistan. While Amir is the son of a busi­ness­man, Hassan’s father is a ser­vant to Amir’s father. Yet, they forge a friend­ship when they are really young (they are also nursed by the same woman). Inspite of their close­ness, Amir finds it dif­fi­cult to acknowl­edge Has­san as a friend because of their class dif­fer­ences. Once par­tic­u­lar inci­dent seals their fate and Amir can never rec­on­cile to what con­sti­tutes a rather cow­ardly act.
