the one chasing a kite

Some people say that true love is not to be rewarded, but a person's willingness to give silently. However, I would say that the perfect balance is only when love can be rewarded.

The golden sentence in the movie, the classic line: For you, a thousand times over. For you, a thousand times over.

The film tells about the suffering and emigration under war, about good and evil, reincarnation and forgiveness, and about the truth and greatness of human nature. "For you, a thousand times over" is exactly Hassan's promise of Amir's lifelong love.

Everyone's destiny is like a kite, it goes higher and farther into the sky, but it is pulled by the thin thread and cannot get rid of it. People's life is also a process of making mistakes, missing, and then using a lifetime to make up for it. We need to muster up the courage to find our own kite in order to gain inner peace and complete self-redemption.

Years later, Amir took Sohrab (Hasan's son) to fly a kite and run among screaming children, but he didn't care. The wind blew across Amir's face, and on his lips was a smile as wide as that of Panjshir Canyon. "For you, a thousand times over," he passed on Hassan's love for him to little Sohrab.

The most genuine warmth in the world is the transmission of love. In the transmission of love, Amir finally became a whole person. ?

"For you, a thousand times over"

    Don't know what to say, we are too far from the truth after all. Live every day now.

    The last sentence for you, thousands of times, made me cry. But I feel that the part of the orphanage was propped up by dialogue, lacking a tension of forbearance. The protagonist's growth and changes are lacking in explanation, and they cannot be continued emotionally.

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.
