It is a dream for me, about Kabul, about kites, about two teenagers, about some hidden sins in the years, about wars, about sorrow, about the redemption of human nature.
After reading the book several times, I can't help but be moved and chew those simple words. I have watched the movie several times, and the story told so clearly, as if I had such a wrong memory in my life that did not belong to me. Suddenly. ...
I wonder if anyone is as impressed by the name "Sultan of Kabul" as I am. ... These are the words of two children, carved on a pomegranate tree. In that small world, they are kings. This engraved innocence may be the real thing. Which lonely childhood does not have such a place, it is so real, it is like a dream, and it always carries a little sadness.
Hassan and Amir, the two "Sultans of Kabul", live in the story and walk towards their respective beliefs. Life gave them their own understanding of fate.
There is a line in the opening credits "Hassan never refused me anything.". Hassan the Hazara proves his love for his master and his brother with loyalty. Teen Hassan is a child who is distressed to tears. This is a very kind child. The young Amir always likes to fool Hassan, who is illiterate. Even if he thinks something is not right, he still believes in his young master Amir... The young Amir also likes to write stories, he wrote a story. About the story of a man who killed his wife, and then his tears could turn into pearls. At that time, Hassan asked, "Why did he have to kill his wife? Why didn't he eat onions?"... Later, Hassan was for Amir. The honor of Amir and Amir's desire to be close to his father, he paid blood and trauma, he was deeply hurt, but he still chose to dedicate himself to Amir as always, accept Amir's frame, and leave.
Discriminated Hazara boy Hassan, loyal Hazara boy Hassan, small Hazara boy Hassan who always stands up to protect Amir, abused Hazara boy Hassan, abandoned The Hazara teenager Hassan, who said "for you, a thousand times over", was still defending Amir's property at the last moment of his life.
However, young ignorance, where is the sin... The young Amir is cowardly by nature and has a slender mind. He is actually a fragile child, a lonely child at heart. Hassan is always protecting him, but he is ashamed to admit his friendship with Hassan because of his racial beliefs.
In fact, the distinction between race and class is the truth of this world.
Over the years, all of this will eventually settle down.
Just like the movie is willing to dream, after stumbling and twists and turns, Amir, finally overcoming selfishness and cowardice, finally found Sohrab, Hassan's son, and took him away from war-torn and crime-ridden Afghanistan. Once, Hassan chased the kite for him, "for you, thousands of times"; but this time, he chased the kite for Sohrab, and also pursued the redemption of human nature.
Some things, in fact, never changed... just temporarily forget where it is. In this somewhat painful but warm dream, I seem to see again, in the faraway Afghanistan, the kite may have long been broken and rotten, in a place called "Wall of Sick Corn", there is a pomegranate tree there , but also engraved "Sultan of Roble".
