      The Kite Runner--Believe In The Brilliance Of Human Nature

      It is adapted from a famous novel. I had two unforgettable moments with this book. One is when I was in school. I had a good brother. He dreamed of being a film director. Every time I went to their dormitory to find him, many times he would lie in bed and read a book. The cover of the sunset scene said "The Kite Runner." Because other people in his dormitory smoke and play games every day, he is particularly...

      The saddest street


      Time shows not too long ago in 2000,
      maybe still so
      , I never cared about the war I
      saw that there used to be streets in the world where
      people sold their legs and the children who lost their legs were
      hanging
      and running on the street

      With the war as the background, we saw is a story about brotherhood.
      The theme of the film adapted from the novel is not as prominent as the pure film.
      There are many, many things that cannot be...

      keywords of civilization

      After watching "The Kite Runner", I remember a passage: "There is no original sin. The greatest sin is theft. When you kill a person, you steal a life, you steal his wife's rights as a wife, Take away the father of his children. When you talk, you steal the right to know the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to be fair. There is nothing more heinous than theft.”
      The conclusion is that Islamic civilization The key word is "theft", so this is a punitive civilization. Anything that...

      how to fly a kite

      The story is very good and the
      picture is beautiful . Although everyone has
      commented a lot about the difference between the novel and the film, I still found the logic of the story before and after watching the film
      before reading the book . I don't know the specific situation in the Middle East at that time, but I speculate that at that time, the East was not so left . Intellectual elites in Europe and the United States have read Capital, but I don't know why some literary and...

      It's not that the adaptation of the movie is not as good as the original, but this one is really too bad, I can't watch it anymore, the casting failed, it might be more appropriate to switch the two children, Hassan looks like a very smart kid, Amir There is no psychological activity, and the father is too refined. Needless to say, the Hitler teenager failed in the adaptation. . . . . . The original plot was not filmed, but made up by myself. The imagination is left to the audience,...

      This is not a movie for people who haven't seen the original. None of the characters are full, and even the most important key characters do not have the spirit of the book. This is the Achilles heel of the movie relative to the book. Kabul in the movie was actually filmed in Xinjiang! Finally: for you, a thousand times...

      I also felt that this son is too faceless and not following his father. After seeing it, it is very strange to understand heredity-- It seems that he is in a political class in the middle, and there is a question at the end. . . I really don't know how to rate it, alas. . . . Three and a half? Ah yes, it was the only beautiful boy in the film who did Hashan...

      This kite-flying is like jerking off a plane. I think we should pay attention to the protagonist behind the protagonist. Obviously, Hassan is such a character. Although he is not deeply portrayed, he is very complete through other people. There is not much The religious and political intentions of the film, as well as the director's subjective bias, make the film's theme very...

    Movie plot

    Amir ( played by Zekeria Ebrahim ), the rich young master of Afghanistan , and his servant Hassan ( played by Ahmad Khan Mahmidzada ) are in love with brothers and sisters. When Amir was bullied by others, Hassan always stood up to protect him, even though Hassan was thinner than him. Amir, who is cowardly in nature, could not become the iron-clad man in his mind and was despised by his father, but his father’s friend Rahim Khan didn’t...

    1. Rahim looked at the picture of Soraya (Emil’s wife) and put it on the table; in the next shot, the picture disappeared.
    2. In the last scene of the film, the kite is flying under strong winds, but when observing the ground (pay attention to her hair) and the conditions on the water, it shows that there is no strong wind at this time. A glance at the sailing boat can roughly tell this. The breeze of the time even turned in the other...

    Evaluation action

    The close friendship between Amir and his father and servant son Hassan has become the thread that runs through the book. The author's Afghan is warm and relaxed, but it is tense because of the friction between different races, and it is full of unforgettable scenes. ("New York Times" review)
    There is no false pretense, no groaning without illness, only a refined chapter, which delicately outlines family and friendship, betrayal and...
