In the 70's in Afghanistan, the Pushtun boy Amir and the Hazara boy Hassan, who is his loyal friend and son of their Hazara servant Ali, are raised together in Amir's father house, playing and kiting on the streets of a peaceful Kabul. Amir feels that his wise and good father Baba blames him for the death of his mother in the delivery, and also that his father loves and prefers Hassan to him. In return, Amir feels a great respect for his father's best friend Rahim Khan, who supports his intention to become a writer. After Amir winning a competition of kiting, Hassan runs to bring a kite to Amir, but he is beaten and raped by the brutal Assef in an empty street to protect Amir's kite; the coward Amir witness the assault but does not help the loyal Hassam. On the day after his birthday party, Amir hides his new watch in Hassam's bed to frame the boy as a thief and force his father to fire Ali, releasing his conscience from recalling his cowardice and betrayal. In 1979, the Russians invade Afghanistan and Baba and Amir escape to Pakistan. In 1988, they have a simple life in Fremont, California, when Amir graduates in a public college for the pride and joy of Baba. Later Amir meets his countrywoman Soraya and they get married. In 2000, after the death of Baba, Amir is a famous novelist and receives a phone call from the terminal Rahim Khan, who discloses secrets about his family, forcing Amir to return to Peshawar, in Pakistan, in a journey of redemption.
Leave your thoughts about The Kite Runner.
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookA heart-wrenching tale of lost friendship and redemption, "The Kite Runner" is as memorable as a movie as it is a novel. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertLike "House of Sand and Fog" and "Man Push Cart," it helps us to understand that the newcomers among us come from somewhere and are somebody. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonHow often does a single movie seem to capture the very essence of what it means to be alive and aware and imperfect in so simple a story? This is one of the very best films of 2007... |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA memorable and moving drama about the pain of lost friendship, the yearning for forgiveness, and the freedom that comes from making amends. |
| www.susangranger.comSusan GrangerExceptional and enthralling - with its universal themes of honor and redemption |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe film feels totally convincing in all its technical aspects, including its use of Chinese locations to double for the story's Afghan setting. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasA completely captivating and powerful moviegoing experience, a heartwrenching but redemptive story that deftly intertwines the personal and the political. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbit... fails to rise above a Dickens-like tale of betrayal and redemption |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinThe Kite Runner is a curiosity in that it is a film driven almost entirely by its story, to the point that all the actors - save the fiercely patriarchal Homayoun Ershadi as Amir's father- seem purely functional, if not negligible. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. Means[The filmmakers] sensitively handle the breakdown of Amir and Hassan's friendship [and] grasp the tension between the hardship of those who remained in Afghanistan and the guilt of those who fled. |
