The Kite Runner review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/26/11
A good drama about childhood memories, family values, kindness, leaving legacies and liberation. Hassan gets molested while his prominent friend Amir Agha. Amir and his father Baba escape the Russian invasion and migrate to the US. Soraya and Amir get married but couldn’t yield a child. He discovers a family secret that would eventually lead him back to Kabul. A boy named Sohrab becomes part of Amir’s life.
Screenplay was good with lines such as “There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft....When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband; rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.” from Baba, according to Rahim – “It's a dangerous thing, being born.” “There is a way to be good again.” and one of the bullies says “Nothing is free.” Cinematography was scenic, score brought the picture to life and performances were sincere. The Kite Runner is worth viewing because of its messages and wonderful camera direction.
