Very moving and personal
I just watched this film at an advanced screening. I had not read the book, and knew nothing of the story, but went because the book was voted “Book of the Year” by two local colleges. So I cannot compare the book with the movie as others have done.In short, I thought this was an incredibly moving story. The acting was believable, and the insight into Afghan culture and political history was both interesting and shocking. My oldest friend is Iranian-American, and so I felt an affinity for certain Middle Eastern values and traditions that were portrayed in the movie, as they reminded me of the times I spent with his family.
The themes of friendship, family, human values, and courage under fire are universal, and are well developed in the film. I won’t list the plot details, as these can be obtained elsewhere. But based on the film’s technical aspects, the acting, and, above all, its heart-wrenching story, I would definitely recommend this movie.
Disappointing…
i loved the book, but this movie just didn’t do it justice. i understand that to fit everything in would have made it six hours long, but if you never read the book (which is a crime in its own right) you missed the whole meaning behind the story. Assef is one of the most important characters in the book, and in the movie he is an insignificant bully. not only that but the movie shortened some important lines and completely cut others, especially from Rahim Khan. they changed other things that just didn’t need to be changed like when Assef was reintroduced. the head of the orphanage sent them to see another man for no reason. and Assef didn’t give Amir and Sohrab the free getaway which actually would have saved a little time. Assef isn’t even German which was a small, but important part of his character and his obsession with Hitler at least explained more of why he was so crazy at the end. oh, i almost forgot i HATED that they gave the blue kite a face. it was unnecessary and leaving it out would have allowed more important things from the book to be put into the movie. the movie on its own was pretty good but just lacked the overall feeling of the book and there were WAY too many pointless changes from the book for me to like it.
