The film deals with the sensitive region of Afghanistan, the Soviet invasion of the last century, and the Taliban regime. Perhaps because these are no longer there, the film is bloody. I know it's all true, but because the film is American-produced, I always have a feeling I can't tell. Hassen told Amir in the letter that he hopes to raise children to be kind and free people. This reminds me of American values... Or as Amir's uncle said, will you be happy when you go to the United States?
Wondering what Afghanistan was like before the Taliban government, was there really so much modern equipment and American music? Although I know that globalization is powerful, I still feel weird watching Amir's father drive an American car and hold Amir's birthday party at home. Sometimes I think that countries in Central Asia should be a certain way, and South Asia should be a certain way, so what should China be like? Sometimes I feel that the faces of Chinese people start to blur, but it seems that there is still no change in personality.
I don't like movies that are too dramatic. For example, the final villain in the movie is the big villain that Amir was bullied as a child. For example, Hassen turns out to be Amir's half-brother... But how can I help myself? ? This is what the author's life must be like.
I have watched a lot of movies about the second generation of American immigrants, and they mostly describe the plot of the homeland and cultural conflicts. I find it interesting to me that Afghans have an understanding of literature, that a novelist is someone who makes up stories in a way, and a writer is supposed to be someone who writes history respectfully. This is understandable. After all, a nation with a troubled motherland should remember its own history. The people who make up the stories either just pile up the drama one by one, or they just avoid talking about it or keep a little secret in order to escape the hardships of their own lives.
The film was shot in Xinjiang, and most of the scenes were shot in Kashgar, which brought back a little bit of homesickness for me. I have a heavy Xinjiang plot, but my parents have no plans to go back for a walk. If I have a chance, I will go there again... The impression of Kashgar in my mind is already blurred and out of shape. If you can let your parents take them back and listen to them tell the stories of their childhood, it must be very touching.
