Here comes another one from Marc Forster. After watching the movie, you would understand how diverse the Director can get. He's not sticking to any sort of Genre for his films, instead, he's willing to experiment, explore his own potential & ultimately provide us with his multifarious talent.

Anyway, The Kite Runner is an adaptation from a best-selling novel of the same name, by Khaled Hosseini. The movie is set in both America and Afghanistan, during it's Soviet invasion era. It deals with the lives of two friends, Amir & Hassan, one is the master's son and the other is the servant's son. The future turns bleak for their friendship when Amir starts feeling jealous of Hassan, and unwillingly betrays Hassan's trust. Life moves on, but memories don't fade. The movie revolves around how Amir manages to make good out of what he had done as a child.

This is an Epic movie, i.e., travelling through different time spans. The story touches the soul, and forces us to think about our loved-ones. Sometimes, one would also feel the eeriness of being alone in a world full of people. And how the protagonist of the film, Amir, gathers up courage to fight this feeling & do what's right.

Upsides: The movie is brilliantly shot, capturing the beauty of the cold-desert region & the kite flying scenes are out of this world. In different time spans & in different countries, the indigenous quality of the movie remains intact throughout.

Downsides: The movie always seems to be going a little slower than usual.

Trivia: The four child actors, who worked for this movie, belong to Afghanistan, but had to move out of the country post this film, since they had a fear of being kidnapped by the Taliban due to their new found fame & wealth. Paramount has taken the responsibility to provide financial assistance to the Kids' upbringing until they reach their adulthood.

Rating: 3.5/5
