    Mediocre and blunt dog blood (the predecessors commented that the original work is richer, it may be a problem of adaptation), but at least it has been popularized that Afghanistan is not only a problem of extreme religion, but also the majority of Caucasians (Pashtuns are a branch of Iranians) The problem of oppression of the yellow minority (the Hazaras are of Mongol descent). In addition, the story Amir read to Hassan, "Rustam and Suhrab", is from the Persian epic "The Book of...

    The narrative of the whole movie is a mediocre running account. The highlight lies in the portrayal of two vivid characters, Hassan and the male protagonist's father. Although I haven't read the book, I can feel that the movie may be completely copying the book, which should be compact and exciting. The 2 hours of the film are full of content that has nothing to do with the theme, such as why so much space is needed to shoot the male lead in love and...

    For you, thousands of times, but even so, it can't erase the hurt of friendship. This beautiful but cruel story does have the power to move people. Unfortunately, most of this power does not come from the movie itself. , but from the...

    The theme of the novel is the redemption of human nature, while the movie has become a "political propaganda film", which omits many touching details in the novel, and only the first half can be watched. After the protagonist goes to the United States, the plot begins to go wrong. The only thing that supported me after watching the movie was the feeling of the novel, but as a movie, its picture and sound effects are still worthy of...

    Except for the soundtrack and scenery, the rest of the feeling is average. @2017-01-24...

    It is far worse than the book. Many places are inexplicably used in English, such as the letter from the driver and Hassan, and some places are too sloppy. If you have not read the book first, you may not understand why it suddenly...

    If the Soviet Union hadn't invaded, if the United States had not been "liberated", if the Bamiyan Buddha had not been destroyed, what so many if there were more than one country that went in the opposite direction, the roast lamb would still be the same as the original, but so...

    2009.08.16 The movie seems to be average. Quite faithful to the original...but this is both its strength and its weakness: the climax of the film is not prominent, and the overall feeling is somewhat trivial and bland; more importantly, it does not show the mental journey of Amir before and after the atonement. Another big flaw is: the little actors are too immature, looking at their cute but dull faces, I often "swoosh" out of the show...

    Basically, the frame of the original book was shot. Although some plots are missing or abbreviated, it is still understandable due to the limited length of the movie. But the omission of a major plot at the end makes the film feel a bit sloppy at the end. The inner charm was not fully revealed, but it still moved...

    Very loyal to the original, the novel I read three years ago, and the film also evokes scattered fragments and pictures in my memory, and found that what I drew was strikingly similar to the film: the dusty streets and alleys of Kabul, the kites dancing in the air... The biggest difference is the skin color of the protagonist... "For you, for thousands of...

    About Brave

    Leaving war and politics aside, I'd rather say it's a film about growing up.
    The young Amir was not liked because he was cowardly. But it is really impossible to hate, because this cowardly root grows in almost everyone. Amir saw that his friend was being bullied by others for defending him, but he...

    the one chasing a kite

    I waited for a few months with great anticipation, but when I really wanted to see it, my heart twitched, for fear that revisiting it would break the calm and cause ripples. When watching, it seems to maintain a posture, any movement will cause the water not to the edge to overflow. It's a pity...

The Kite Runner quotes

  • Baba: [regarding the mullahs, who teach that drinking alcohol is a sin] I piss on the beards of all those self-righteous monkeys.

  • Amir: [explaining Sohrab's presence] You see, General Sahib, my father slept with his servant's wife, and she bore him a son named Hassan. Hassan is dead now. That boy sleeping in the other room is Hassan's son. He's my nephew. That's what you tell people when they ask. And one more thing, General Sahib: you will never again refer to him as "a Hazara boy" in my presence. He has a name, and it's Sohrab.
