besherat I expected to see something like that. I think that people never should read the book first, then watch the movie. I don't know for others, but this movie completely ruined a book. It didn't express not even 10% of feelings which we may feel while reading this amazing book ( one of my favorite ). It is very disappointing for me.

trollmeme8 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.

Suman Shakya "The Kite Runner" has been one of the most acclaimed and successful movies from the recent past based on a novel. Written by Khalid Hosseini, the novel on which the film is based tells the bonding of two biological brothers, Amir and Hassan, who become a master and servant by faith, and deals with the atonement of the master, Amir. Set in the backdrop of Afganisthan, it has a lot of emotions attached to it for which the viewers accepted the film. It has been heard that the author of the novel himself got emotional watching the film.Just like the novel, the film presents a harrowing experience of war time and atrocities of Talibans in the post war. Many scenes are distressing like the one involving the stoning of a girl to death or a scene involving male rape for which the film can't be recommended for all age group. The first hour of the film in which the friendship of Amir and Hassan shown remains the most lovable and touching portion of the film. The performances of the child artist, including the loyalty of Hassan or the lament of Amir, just touch you. The second half remains a bit slow and lacked a bit of elaboration, which is a flaw I liked to point. Overall, the film is full of emotions, and shows the meaning of blood relation, humanity, and friendship. It shows all but in a low profile for which the film remains fairly good but still not a landmark or a historical cinema.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

tiiuzca I just read the novel and it was incredible and fascinating. I read it in one day. It was so addictive. The movie was a disappointment. The biggest reason was the lack of emotions. The novel was so deep but I didn't find that in this movie. The movie doesn't achieve viewer's motions - at least not mine. I don't recognize the main characters at all. They are very shallow in here. Not at all like in the novel. The movie doesn't explain the characters at all, like who are Ali and Hassan, what are the relationships between Ali and the father, or Ali and Amir. What is the problem between Amir and his father and what really cause those problems. How the father and his long time friend differs in their point of views and in their relationships with Amir. What is their relationship with Islam and how it develops. The movie shows what breaks Amir's and Ali's relationship, but doesn't tell how it affected to them. How their relationship changed. It doesn't show Amir's continuous fight with himself and with guilt. These things are the core of the movie, but the viewer doesn't reach these issues. The movie feels shallow. Some good points as well, because the movie wasn't all bad. I didn't know what the life was in Afganistan before Talebans. I didn't know what the houses are like and how the interiors were so similar in 70's than in western countries. I was very nice to see these. I liked also the nature - so bare and kind of peaceful.Btw, were Adidas' Superstars sneakers already existing in 70's?? :DSo, I recommend to pass this movie and to read the book, if you have time. But sure, watch the movie, if you don't have time to read, but watch it few time to find the real message and the real characters and relations in it.
