for you, a thousand times over…

I’m so glad that i had the oppurtunity to watch such a rare beautiful film. It’s an adaptation of the novel of the same title The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I haven’t read the book yet but i’m planning to get a copy of it on the coming days.

The story was brillant and compelling. Two young boys - Hasaan a loyal friend, tough, persistent to his beliefs, willing to do anything for his friend; Amir a well-to-do boy, passive, a writer in the making – torn apart by a hideous incident that crucially changed their lives…and then further separated by war. The story showcased the pre-war Afghanistan on the background – its humble and peaceful life with its own color and unique beauty and how war turned it into waste and rubbles. I won’t give anymore details…hehe

I love how the film was done. Every scene is a feast for the eyes. I would like to give a special commendation on  the film’s original score which i think one of the most beautiful scores ever made. In fact, its better than this year’s oscar winner for original score which is also one of my favorites. Acting-wise, the two boys who played the major roles were very impressive. Very genuine acting. The rest of the cast were also good.

I can’t believe this. I’m already giving a review…hehehe…What i’m just trying to say is that – you have to watch it !
