I read the English version of the novel. To be honest, the story is very moving; but I have always disliked the ass values of kiss Americans in the second half of the novel. The movie is much better. There is not too much presentation and sentimental, plain narrative, purely to impress people with stories. Husband said, "Without adding too much ideology, it is so difficult for Americans to do this"!
The story is just like that, not much different from the novel, and there are a few inconsistencies with the novel. For example, Amir's house was actually expropriated rather than abandoned. Basically they are in line with the original work.
Amir, Hassen and his son, the three little boys played well. Hassen is that kind of child with innocent smile on his face, so simple and cute-living so pure and clean; Amir is good-looking, squeamish, a little cowardly, and a little bit awkward; Hassen's son is taciturn, as if he is burdened with too much.
At the beginning, the image of Teacher Amir was a little bit different from my imagination. But after a while, I got used to it.
Many scenes were shot in Xinjiang. The Gobi and the blue sky are actually quite beautiful.
It took a long time to show the kite-flying scene, and it didn't feel redundant at all. The kite was flying in the air, the sound of the wind hula-la, and the scene of cutting each other's ropes were all beautiful and shocking.
I really like the narrative of the movie. It seems to be very plain, a lot of feelings are suppressed; there is not much psychological activity, and there is no overly sensationalism. It was already a very heavy subject-loyalty, deceit, redemption, war, religion, race, love... After
reading it, I don’t have the feeling that my heart will tremble, I just feel that there is something under my throat and I am being careful. Depressed.

Supplement:
After reading A&E's 07 inventory, the second book written by the novel author about The Afghan novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, was the 2007 best-selling champion in the United States. As the Americans said in their own comments, "first we bomb them, then we read about them". What should be connected later is: finally we film them.
It is a sad world, after all, there is no way to escape the so-called dominant values.
