THE KITE RUNNER - General Information about the film
Hi friends in this article let us discuss about one of the best film I have ever watched and this is a touching movie andreally it will make you cry if you are very sensitive.This film is based upon two friends in Afghanistan and how they are separated and what was the reason that made them separate and what happens at last.
This film is based on the one of the best selling Novel of 2008 and also the winner of Boeke Prize is South Africa in 2003.This was also the best selling book in USA at that time and was released on May 29, 2003.
The Author of this book is Khaled Hosseini and this book made him popular all over the world.
His second book "A Thousand Splendid Suns", released on May 22, 2007, also become the best selling as it was second best selling book onAmazon.com. Columbia Pictures have obtained the rights for this book,and we can expect this book as filin the screen very soon.
This is really a touching movie and there is a character called "Hassan" which I really liked and he is very innocent.He did a spelendid job in this movie and really he makes us feel and cry.In this film this is a very important character, as the whole story depends on his life and later his son.
Really the movie is too good so that everybody must watch this movie. The movie starts in Afghanistan and then it travels to America and when again it comes to Afghanistan there we can find really emotional scenes that are extremel and if you are very sensitive I guess this is really going to disturb you and you might cry.
Ive watched this movie just before writing this article and one thing which I want to share about the movie is that,whenever I think about this movie I can remember two important characters "Amir" and "Hassan" and especially Hassan and this character is very close to my heart.
While they were shooting this movie there was a particular scene which resulted in lots of controversies.So the directors made modifications.Even after making this modifications they believed that it would result in some culturalmisunderstandings and so Paramount Pictures, who took care of the distribution of this film, decide to shift both the childactor( and also another child actor Ali Danish Bakhtyari who acted as Sohrab) and their families to United ArabEmirates(UAE), until they finish their childhood.Paramount pictures have spend around 2 to 2.5 crores for this alone.
So as a result of some cultural misunderstandings, due to some scenes this film was banned in Afghanistan and even theDVD version were also not released there.Inspite of all these controversies, this film was released successfuly and did well at the box office ane earned about 340 crores.
This film also explains to an extent about the Afghan community in USA and how they live in USA.The main reason whythey have kept this title "THE KITE RUNNER" is that these two young boys are very good in flying kites and Hassan is the Kite Runner for Amir.Amir also manage to win a tournament in flying Kite and many incidents happen after Amir wins the tournament, and this was also a major reason for these friends to be separated .
Credit must go to these child actors for their excellent acting. Due to number of threats they moved to UAE, but Zekeria Ebrahimi(Who acted as Amir in this film) managed to return to Kabul along with his aunt from Dubai, after staying 4 months there.Its very sad because he says,he wishes he had never done the movie.Both the actors are looking for a better future and they also said that they want to study in USA and so we must encourage them so that their carrier never getspoiled.
