The reincarnation of truth, kindness and beauty

I really don't like the personality of the protagonist Amir. In order to cover up his cowardice and hurt his friends who love him, even if he awakens his conscience at the end of the film, I don't want to forgive such a person who has deceived himself and others for many years.
Personally, I think the director deliberately arranged Hassen to become the illegitimate son of Amir's father. It is far more profound for Amir to confess to the fact that he is his own brother than to confess to a loyal old friend.
As far as the film is concerned, it is still good. Whether it is the intimacy of the picture or the narrative of childhood memories, it is still mature, and the portrayal of Hassen's character is simple but powerful. The kite and slingshot are really successful props. But the brave and sincere friend, why is his life so bleak, because the war has eliminated all the possibility of love, because the distortion of human nature has eliminated the good will. In real life, how many children who are neglected and abandoned by society because of their growth background are as cute and simple as Hassen. The director tries hard to let us see his light, but he cannot let more people truly release their light. There is a struggle, and when the director arranges for Amir to fly a kite with Hassen's son, it is also a hope for the reincarnation of truth, goodness and beauty.
I like the kite chasing in the movie, so that every moviegoer can happily return to the free country of flying. . .
