we are his drowsy ones
and if we come to wake
we are in his hands
if we come to weeping
we are his cloud full of raindrops
and if we come to laughing
we are his lightning in that moment
if we come to anger and battle
it is the reflection of his wrath
and if we come to peace and pardon
it is the reflection of his love
who are we in this complicated world?
-------------Rumi ,form《 "The kite runner"
I became who I am today, on a cold, cloudy winter day in 1975, when I was twelve years old. I clearly remember that I was lying behind a collapsed mud wall, peeking at the alley, next to the icy creek. Many years have passed, people say that old things can be buried, but I finally understand that this is wrong, because the past will climb up on its own.
-------the first chapter of "the kite runner" is
a movie about betrayal and redemption by many people.
After reading it cross-legged in a chair in the afternoon, he used half a roll of toilet paper.
The story is cruel and beautiful, and the footage of the movie is warm and delicate.
For you, a thousand times over, for the first time in the film, it was Hassan turned around and smiled and yelled when he went to recover the victory kite for Ami.
The second time, Ami brought back Hassan’s son from war-torn Afghanistan many years later. What he said when flying a kite for him, for you, a thousand times over. When
I saw these two points, my nose was one. Pumping, crashing, hula, tears.
I admit that I am a messy person.
In 1975.
Hassan and Ami are hard-to-follow friends. Hassan’s absolute loyalty to Ami is moving.
Ami is a young master with a wealthy family. He is thin, weak, timid, and a little bit bad.
Hassan is The son of Ami’s servant, with a simple smile, brave and loyal, with a small body wearing a Kabul robe, living so pure and clean.
At the beginning of the film, they fly a kite. Hassan went to the grove to chase the kite. Ami said, are you sure you will be here?
When did I lie to you, I lied to you and I ate rubbish.
Would you really do that?
If you want me to do that, I will.
You are crazy, you know I won't.
I know.
Hassan protects the cowardly Ami. When he was besieged by a group of older children, the short man decisively pulled up the slingshot and
said, yes, there are many of you, but now only I have the slingshot in my hand!
Be firm and brave enough to shake the adults who have experienced too much, for the friendship between children, so pure and firm, clean, without any conditions.
Ami’s father was an opponent of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. He had status and power. In the original work, Hassan was a child with hare lips.
On his birthday, Ami’s father took him to perform expensive hare lip surgery. A master took a servant. The son’s expensive hare lip surgery
seems to be an incredible thing. It only paves the way for the following plot. Hassan is Ami’s half-brother, and Ami is destined to hide for the subsequent betrayal and this for many years. The secret to make salvation.
It was a kite contest. Hassan and Ami defeated everyone and won the championship of the kite contest. The little son Ami was raised and praised by everyone. Hassan warmly embraced him and
said, let me get it back for you. Kite.
The moment Little Hassan turned and ran away, I started to worry, he was so small and the kite was so far away.
Sure enough, Hassan was besieged by a group of older children. In order to protect the kite, Hassan suffered the most unbearable insult. Ami saw everything but didn't have the courage to stand up. Because of this secret betrayal, he was responsible for his life since then.
Unable to face him, Ami tried his best to force Hassan away. When the war broke out, Ami also fled to the United States with his father to start a new life. Since then, he lost news with Hassan.
Many years later, Ami grew up and graduated from the University of California, married a wife and started a career. One day, he received a call from Kabul. Hassan left something for you and needs you to go back.
In 2000, Kabul was a desolate war. Ami went back to war-torn Afghanistan.
I saw the letter that Hassan left him before he died, and I also knew the secret that had been buried for too many years.
Hassan is your half-brother. At that time, everyone had only reputation and status. Your father could not help but choose to hide, but he loved him.
In the name of God, with God’s mercy, with my respect,
I hope that one day my son will read this letter. I am thinking about learning English. What a quintessential language,
but one day, it will become a story.
I watched my son grow up, this is the most precious gift God gave me.
But I am afraid that I will lose. This will be a heavy blow to me.
He came from this land. You never thought of his coming. This is always beautiful.
I dream that my son will become a great one. Man, a free man, an important person.
I dream that I can meet him playing on the street, under the vast sky, in the spacious yard
. . .
How wonderful it will be, my son.
------------The letter left by Hassan after his death, leaving pictures of him and his son.
Because of the atonement, the weak Ami finally plucked up the courage to risk his life to find the violent Taliban organizers and retrieve Hassan's only son who was taken away by them.
The power of self-blame made such a cowardly and cowardly person, ignoring the black hole's muzzle, facing the violence and misfortune of terrorist organizers, and
retrieved this child, the child who had never met, who was going to be called his uncle, whom he owed in his childhood. The brother's biological child.
Yes, I am his uncle. Family and friendship, self-blame and humanity. Therefore, life can be ignored.
After all the hardships and dangers, Ami finally found Hassan's son, took him back to the United States, away from the war, gave him the best life, and poured the love that was owed to him.
Yes, Ami redeemed the child and also saved herself. Finally, because of his childhood betrayal, he walked out of the shadow of carrying a lifetime.
At the end of the film, Ami and his wife took Hassan’s children to fly a kite. The vast and quiet sky, the grassland with no impurities, is like the new peaceful life that Little Hassan is about to usher in.
Like Ami's about to usher in a brand-new life without self-blame and shadow.
Ami taught him to fly a kite, and the kite flew far away, and asked, do you want me to find the kite for you?
The little boy pursed his lips and nodded. Ami was finally redeemed and ran forward happily, saying with all his strength, for you, a thousand times over!
What touched me was not only Hassan’s kindness and purity, Ami’s loss and redemption, a more important role in the movie, Ami’s father, without him, the plot would not be missing much, but it would be a lot saddened.
At that time, because of class prejudice, he had to conceal the secret to make his son a master and servant. He treats this son Hassan who can only treat him as a master with tolerance,
loves him, forgives all his faults, and tries his best to let him and Ami Having the same happy childhood, keeping him by his side, but after all, the class cannot be changed.
When Ami wanted to drive Hassan away because of self-blame, he angered for the first time and said that you brought me shame.
When he fleeing Afghanistan with Ami due to political reasons, he bent over, picked up a handful of Kabul soil, put it in his pocket watch, and kissed cautiously.
On the fleeing car, he performed justice for the women travelling in the car, and said to the Soviets who wanted to molest women with a rifle at gunpoint, war would not deny solemnity.
He lived the life of an ordinary person in the United States. He changed from a respected politician to a gas station toll collector. He praised the guests easily. Your car is really beautiful.
At the graduation ceremony of his son’s college, he seriously dressed in a suit, took his son to the bar, and said to a stranger with a glass of wine, today my son graduated, cheers!
Time tolerated, he changed from a capable and upright politician to a gray-haired old man. The only thing that did not change was his love for life, his son, and his motherland.
see it.
Yes.
Don't be afraid, I am with you.
Dad, I can't breathe.
Think of other people, think of a poem.
Rumi?
You remember some, don't you? I want to hear from you.
So there is the beginning poem.
If we are asleep
we are groggy people
if we wake up
we are in God's hands
if we cry
that we are God full of rain clouds
if we smile
we are now God's lightning
if we are angry fights
this is the wrath of God Reaction
If we pursue peace and tolerate others,
this is the reaction
of God's love. Are we in this chaotic world?
Christianity uses the images of the seven demons of Satan to represent the seven sins, Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust ). Facing cowardice, lying, hypocrisy, jealousy, hypocrisy, evil, selfishness, and arrogance in human nature, the most difficult thing for us to face is ourselves. So there is desperate pursuit and redemption. Love is condemnation, humanity, awakening, facing, and even more touching.
