svikasha "The Kite Runner" is a film adaptation of a 2003 novel of the same name. The movie is chock-full of stunning visuals in its depictions of Kabul both before and after the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. But the subject matter of the film is very grim. In "The Kite Runner", the main protagonist is a Pashtun boy named Amir who flees to America with his courageous father after the Soviet Union invades Afghanistan to prop up the Communist party of the country in 1979. Amir grew up flying kites which was a common practice among the children of Afghanistan at one time. Amir's "kite runner" was a Hazara boy named Hassan.The "Kite Runner" tells a story of redemption while also depicting the atrocious practice of Bacha Bazi. Bacha Bazi is a slang term for a practice that involves child sexual abuse that takes place in many central Asian countries such as Afghanistan. Under the Taliban's rule from 1994-2001, the practice of Bacha Bazi officially carried the death penalty. It remains illegal under Afghan law today, but the law has always been seldom enforced. This is especially the case against powerful offenders. Bacha Bazi is among the worst forms of theft. It is a theft of a person's innocence. One of the most poignant lines of the film says, ""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". Bacha Bazi is a horrendous practice that deserves more attention and condemnation from the international community. Hazaras are an ethnic minority within Afghanistan. Hassan was a member of this minority and worked as Amir's servant. Despite being treated well by Amir and his father, he is tormented by many Pashtuns elsewhere due to stigma. At one point in the film, Hassan is pinned down and raped by the children of prominent Pashtuns in Kabul. Amir "jan", as he is formally called, witnesses this horrific event and doesn't intervene. Instead he attempts to frame Hassan for theft to remove the awkward obstacle of dealing with the event from his life. Decades pass by. Amir Jan escapes Afghanistan and grows up and gets married in sunny California. But the American dream is interrupted when Amir is brought back to Asia by his father's old friend, a humble man named Rahim Khan. Khan informs Amir that Hassan was actually his half-brother. Hassan was eventually murdered by one of his childhood tormenters who had risen to a high rank within the Taliban. Amir's half-nephew, Hassan's young son was taken and forced to become a dancing boy and sexual slave to the high-ranking official within the corrupt Taliban government. The rest of the story is about how Amir rescues his nephew Sohrab from the Taliban. Afghanistan is a tragic place. The country has its own version of strange fruit. One of the most powerful moments in the film happens when the main character reads a letter written by his deceased childhood friend Hassan. As the protagonist reads the letter, a crate of fruit falls as if to represent the lost souls in this desolate land. The first line of the letter reads, Bismillah ir-Rahman ir- Rahim. It loosely translates to "In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate". The letter goes on to say," I've included a picture of me and my son, Sohrab. He's a good boy. Rahim Khan and I taught him how to read and write, so he doesn't grow up stupid like his father. And can he shoot with that slingshot you gave me! But I fear for him, Amir agha. The Afghanistan of our youth is long dead. Kindness is gone from the land, and you cannot escape the killings. Always the killings. I dream that God will guide us to a better day. I dream that my son will grow up to be a good person, a free person, an important person. I dream that flowers will bloom in the streets of Kabul again, and music will play in the samovar houses, and kites will fly in the skies. And I dream that someday you will return to Kabul to revisit the land of our childhood. If you do, you'll find an old faithful friend waiting for you. May God be with you always. Hassan".

Thehagengnome Keep in mind that I have not read the book, so my opinions are not going to include any comparisons or opinions of the book.I gave this movie a 7, and here is the reason. I found the story to be captivating and exiting through a lot of the movie, but sometimes the story just felt dead and boring. The story has a decent amount of depth to it, but that also gets sort of blurred when the movie is reaching it's middle. The characters were decently good overall, even though sometimes some of the characters felt very cliché like. The overall message of the movie is all fine and good, but the drama that really kicks in an hour or so into the movie, really puts me off. The whole drama thing as I said, is way to much for my taste, which ruins the movie for me just a little bit.There are also some parts of the movie that I found to be quite unrealistic, which further brought the movie down for me. Overall the movie has a good concept, but in some areas fails to pull it off. But if you are into middle eastern or drama based films and way of thought, then this movie is definitely worth seeing.

Dandio Mama'Africa For my Reading class, I had to read the novel and the film and I would have to say that the film was better because I was able to see all the things in the novel on a screen with graphics. I believe when you see things in action, it's way more better and inspirational. All the characters did a phenomenal job and it was so touching. Although the movie did not point over everything in the novel, it was still a great watch! The sexual scene with Assef, his friends, and Hassan was so touching. It made me want to jump in the TV screen and beat Amir for just watching. I hope people learn from this movie and film. No friend should be treated like this! You are a great writer Khalid!
