Kite Runner Movie Trailer
This film focuses on the story of two childhood friends, Amir and Baba.
The friends are forced to drift apart when one emigrates from Afghanistan
to California. However, when Amir returns he finds that his friend is dead
but his friend’s son is in desperate need of assistance.
This film is on the first book of the best selling series of books by Khaled
Hosseini. The film highlights the issues of life post USSR in Afghanistan
and the influence of the Taliban. This is a story of a boy’s development
into adulthood and his battle to save his friend’s son.
The film is intense and compelling and kept me interested throughout
despite the length of the movie. However, those who have read the book
may feel that this adaption does not do the book justice. If possible you
should the book before seeing the film so the film is easier to follow. The
directing is good, as would be expected from the director of both Stranger
Than Fiction and Finding Neverland.
The acting is solid throughout with no exceptional performances from any
one particular member of the cast. Moreover, this film is subtitled and if
you are the type of person who does not enjoy reading in the cinema then
you are unlikely to enjoy this. Furthermore, the film is quite harrowing and
intense and times which may not be suitable for all.
Ultimately, this is a good film but the subtitles and harrowing nature of
some sections of the plot means that it is not suitable for everyone.
