The Kite Runner - "For you, a thousand times over.."

'The Kite Runner' - one of the masterpiece of the year.. touching story with great actors..

Hassan and Amir.. both of them working so hard to win the kite competition, and finally they won..!!

Amir teaches his nephew to play kite, after he been brought back to US to start a new life with his wife..

The Kite Runner is one of the best selling novel by Khaled Hosseini.. and this 2007 Academy Award nominated movie is based on the novel and it is directed by Marc Forster (one of my favorite movie - 'Finding Wonderland' is directed by him..) ..

The plot of the movie follows that of the novel. It tells the story of Amir, a well-to-do boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who is tormented by the guilt of abandoning his friend Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the Taliban regime.

Both the child actors are native speaker and their performance in the movie is brilliant.. particularly I like Hassan as a brave boy who will fight to protect his master Amir.. Another impressive role is Amir's father, baba.. the serious looking father who got disappointed to the son because he wants the son to be a doctor but Amir is more interested become a story writer..

We can also see the situation in Kabul during the period ruled by Taliban.. women have been treated badly like an animal especially in one scene where the Taliban officer threw a big stone to the woman head and cause her died then the rest keep on throwing stones to her dead body, so inhuman.. this is something that happened there but we just couldn't imagine how worst is the situation by the news on tv or newspaper.. in fact this movie really shown us a bit of that..

The highlight of the story is when Amir (when the time he is an adult) is asked to return to Pakistan to meet his father's best friend and he been told that Hassan and his wife are killed by Taliban and Hassan is his brother from different mother.. OMG!! so sad.. so Amir have to risk his life to go back to Kabul to rescue his nephew (Hassan's son) who have been caught by the Taliban officer as a dance boy.. this part is really touching.. and I can't control my emotion, my tears rolled out.. the actor who as adult Amir is doing a nice job here, I really can see his sadness, his upset, his shock and his fear, all the complex emotions in his face..

I love this movie so much..!! the story is touching, the actors are all brilliant, everything is just so fine for me.. I have added it in my favorite movies list.. I like the ending of the movie where Amir brought his nephew back to US and start a new life together with his wife... and the story ended with Amir chase the falling kite for his nephew and said to him "For you, a thousand times over..." when they are kids, Hassan will said this to Amir every time when he chase the falling kite for Amir.. so touching..!!
