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.
