Review of The Kite Runner (2007) by Arianeta L — 22 Feb 2010
The Kite Runner is a wonderful movie based on a novel of the same name. I have not read the original novel and I can?t compare the two. The movie, as I saw it was without any prejudice simply outstanding.
The movie is about life in Afghanistan all the way from the time when it was a free land to the time when it gets conquered by Russia and then eventually falls under the rule of Taliban but it isn?t a history movie simple it sets in a historical background.
It is the story about a young boy who is born to a rich Afghan and his friend who happens to be the household servant's son. The story starts with the innocence filled childhood of these two kids and eventually as things unfold we see the two separated under rather bizarre circumstances.
The movie is very mild in its portrayal of violence and concentrates solely on the thought evolution of the lead character. The cast does an amazing job. The child actors deserve all of our respect as well as the actor portraying the father.
The music was a wonderful part of the fabric of the movie. It is also a visually stunning film. The cinematography was gorgeous and really added to experience. Totally recommended.
