Two children, one kite, one sentence: There is a way to be good again.
At that time, I had an inexplicable urge in my heart to want to watch this movie, no matter what it would tell me, what it would recall, or what it might be looking forward to...
Fortunately, there are elements I like in this movie. A calm and detailed storyline, slow telling and a single realistic tone, without too much paving and sensationalism, without cluttered subtitles and translations. Simple and clean, like a glass of water.
watched it twice.
Alone late at night.
Once with Vivi in the bedroom.
The hometown full of wounds, the ruined field of desolation after the war, the Taliban's so-called fairness and God's principles, the homeless and dilapidated sleepovers, the crying children under the eaves, the old, the dead, the past relatives and friends.
Amir, a young master from a wealthy family, whose mother died of dystocia, lives with his father. Weakness is his human nature that has been exposed to the outside world, escape is his way of dealing with the non-ideal state of the outside world, and indifference is his first choice in the face of self-crisis.
Hassen, the son of a servant, was in fact Amir's brother. A very boring child (it is said that he has a rabbit mouth in the book), but he is loyal and kind. Every little movement of his was like a complete baptism for me.
For you, a thousand times over. (For you, I am willing to do it thousands of times)
He was really stupid. He didn't hesitate to be beaten or raped for one of Amir's kites. When he handed the kite to Amir with a light smile, the blood was so pure and dazzling in the snow; he was really stupid, In order to reduce his guilt, Amir even used the "watch-stealing lie" plan to drive Hassen away. Facing his father's questioning, he only gave Amir a light glance and simply "admitted" that he stole it; Silly, under the tree where Amir's name was engraved, he insisted on reading the words that he could never understand; he was really stupid, but he never sent the written letter to Amir, because he was afraid, afraid of giving He was burdened for fear of causing trouble to him.
Amir, you know what? There are so many innocent dreams in Hassen's letter to you. So many, so many...
They are half-brothers, but one suffers from purgatory and the other lives in heaven.
A man will grow up eventually, learn to face responsibility and face humanity. Like at the end, Amir finally understood why Hassen didn't expose his flawed lies. He said meaningfully to Hassen's son,
"I know, your father, that was not chasing a kite. Some say he was chasing the shadow of a kite."
Actually, I know him, I know him.
At the end of the film, under that clear blue sky, Amir does the same thing Hasssen has done for him countless times.
"Do you want me to retrieve that kite for you?" The
child's Adam's apple wriggled up and down, the wind blew his hair, and he nodded slightly.
For you, a thousand times over. (For you, I am willing to do it thousands of times)
