Honestly, not really

I waited until someone was free to watch it. I haven't read the novel, I know it's popular.
I was really moved when I saw the preview. But after my family's leader came up with the word "good fake", my impression of the film seemed to change sharply.
But I think I still have a chance to be impressed. As a result, I saw a film that took me from scratch to the ground without a single tear shed for a while. This is very rare for me. Because it is too superficial and too unreal. I kept looking at my watch for 140 minutes to see how long it was going to end, the abrupt plots were set one after the other, except for the blue sky, the dazzling kites flying against the drab background of ochre, I could hardly find any plot that impresses me . I can list a lot of unbelievable magical moments. The most fantastic is that the half-dead Amir and his nephew escaped the pursuit of a group of heavily armed Taliban and reached the United States smoothly. It's even more brave than 007. The novel may be very shocking, but the movie can only be said to be a product that wants to make a box office by taking advantage of the residual heat of the novel. True to nothing. It is rare to be able to get 7.9 on IMDB, which is really borrowing too much light from the novel.

    An extremely moving work...There are no hypocritical texts, no groans, only refined chapters...Family and friendship, betrayal and redemption are delicately outlined, which can move and inspire us without diagrams and interpretations.

    It's not as good as the book, but it's a good shot

The Kite Runner quotes

  • Amir: [explaining Sohrab's presence] You see, General Sahib, my father slept with his servant's wife, and she bore him a son named Hassan. Hassan is dead now. That boy sleeping in the other room is Hassan's son. He's my nephew. That's what you tell people when they ask. And one more thing, General Sahib: you will never again refer to him as "a Hazara boy" in my presence. He has a name, and it's Sohrab.

  • Baba: [as Dr. Starobin examines him] Where are you from?

    Dr. Starobin: I grew up in Michigan. Came out here for medical school. Once you get used to that California sunshine...

    Baba: But your family?

    Dr. Starobin: My family? We're originally from Russia.

    [Baba shoves him away, and is next seen with a different doctor]
