- this is A philosophy of parenting.
When picking up the kite, Ami asked Asan, what would you do if I let you chew on the mud?
Ah Sang looked at Ami firmly and said firmly, "Yes, but you won't let me do this".
Of course not, Ami said.
-Actually, in the heart of the little master Asang, he has always admired and feared Ami's loyalty and magnanimity in his bones.
Ami loves to write stories, but Ah Sang is illiterate. He admires Ami and likes to listen to him tell stories. One day, Ami told Assan about his latest creation: a man has got a magic, as long as he cries, his tears will turn into pearls, he is poor. . . The story ends with the man sitting on a mountain of pearls, holding a bleeding knife in one hand and his dead wife in the other. After Ami finished speaking, Ah Sang said seriously: "Why, he can actually smell the onion."
- Ah Sang's character, just like his way of thinking, is intuitive, simple, and close to life, but precisely, The easiest way is always the best way. Since Ami was a child, he probably thought that there was a price to pay for all the good things in the world. The difference in the values of the two people has caused a change in their worldview.
The only time Ami faced A-Sang after he was raped, he threw rotten pomegranates at him, and kept shouting, "If you have the kind of thing, just hit me." After a long time, Ah Sang slowly picked up a rotten pomegranate and slammed it on his forehead. The bright red juice was left from his forehead down his cheeks, like blood.
- In front of Ah Sang, Ami always felt that he was a cowardly and incompetent person, except for his status, he had no advantage. The death of his mother due to his dystocia, his father's disapproval of his personality, and the fact that his best friend cannot become a true equal friend with him, especially when he needs assistance the most, he retreats timidly and abandons it. . So he could only turn this anger towards himself and feel inferior, and turn it to ravage Assan in a twisted way. But Asan is still willing to go through fire and water for Ami.
After a lapse of time, Asan got married in the United States.
At the wedding banquet, according to Afghan custom, the newlyweds need to look at the raised mirror together.
The bride asked Assan, what did you see.
Ah Sang looked at the two young and happy faces in the mirror and said "the rest of my life". The
bride smiled.
- I also smiled, thankful that he didn't say such impulsive words as "I'm the happiest man in the world".
Assan's only request to his seriously ill father was to ask him to propose a marriage to the daughter of his favorite general.
-Before my father got out of the car, his words of good luck, and after he successfully proposed a marriage, he almost jumped up with urgency and joy after receiving the phone call. The expression was vivid, and he looked very happy, especially for A Sang, a restrained character. People, it's a very tense contrast.
Later, after the twists and turns, Ami redeemed his soul by saving Asan's son. While flying a kite by the sea, Ami said to Assan's son, Soha, what his companion said to him: "for you a thousand times over."
- I don't like this kind of deliberate finishing touch a minute before the end of the film. pen, but that doesn't stop me from liking this sentence.
I remember these in bits and pieces. It is not "tear-jerking" as I imagined, but it will not be changed beyond recognition. I haven't read the original book, so I can't compare the portrayal of the characters, but I always feel that Assan, who returned to Kabul as an adult, is too weak in character. The scene of the conversation with the caregiver at the orphanage made me wonder since when did he suddenly become a person with a simple mind that is not black and white?
This film with the theme of chasing dreams and redemption can shine in the United States and bring tears to my eyes, because it directly points to the weakness of the hearts of Americans after 9/11, and at the same time evokes their sense of glory as saviors. It is said that the author's original version turned the story into a tragedy, and Stud eventually died. I think, because I should prefer the unintentional happy ending.
Trivia, this film was actually completed in Xinjiang, Beijing, and California. Surprise.
The ps picture cannot replace the artistic conception of the text. The original work is still king, unless you are watching Twilight.
