- It had to be uploaded. Also, later in the video you see the subtitle "For Award Consideration Only. Property of Paramount Vantage"; this film was intentionally awards bait (as it is a foreign-language film with dialogue in Dari, Pashto and English) and Paramount Vantage then was a distributor for independent, art-house and foreign films serving as a division of Paramount Pictures.

In response to the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 which led to the Taliban retrieving power and many Afghans fleeing for other countries with North America, but also Mexico, the United Kingdom, the rest of Europe, Australia and (unexpectedly) African countries such as Rwanda and Uganda, taking them in, I am typing this comment to remind the people that the film-and its source material-may have been ahead of its time. In fact, I am sure both titles may have experienced a resurgence in popularity due to the Taliban taking back Afghanistan immediately after the end of the United States' "longest war" which took place after and as a result of 9/11. Khaled Hosseini must have been delighted (any other words?), but not surprised, to see this, being an Afghan refugee in the United States (pre-2021) himself; he can even write a sequel to his novel now that he heard the news about the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Afghan refugee exodus that followed. I mean, who expected this to be more revelant this year?
Damn... bless that orphanage guy. Such thankless work for heroic work
This passage in the book made me cry so hard.
Bitter truth of every war...the only victims are ordinary people and not one politician lose sleep over this amount of cruelty and crime because always them and their dear ones are safe and far from the harm.
what a nice and simple point of view that makes the world small and safe
I know how movies don't cover all the details, might even change the details but seeing them satisfies my urge to give the characters and scenes, my imagination a face or a picture. I wouldn't like the movie as much as I would admire the book but still I am grateful that they made movie on this beautiful book.
Poor man, he got no choice. I cried when he spoke out loud
Aw man! I was waiting for the "he's great with the slingshot" quote!
One of the most powerful scenes ever in cinema
good that the film added and slightly changed this part as compared to the book. in the book, Amir only realized the need to bring Sohrab to the US much later, he has yet to think of that during his visit to the orphanage. but the change in the film was understandable in order for one glaring fact to be stated (which the book missed out), that taking one kid to the US so he can have a better life seemed an elitist act, while the rest of the children in the orphanage wouldn't have such a chance. though it also spells out that national liberation for a war-torn country like Afghanistan would ensure its kids and future generations would be safe, in their own homeland. rather than be uprooted to "safer, modern" states in the West
I agree.
Sohrab was at this orphanage. He was taken by the Talib official mentioned by the caretaker
Fyi...in the book Farid is the one who gets mad at the orphanage Director (Zamann)and strangles him. Amir is the calmer one who stops Farid from killing Zaman. No harm done to the story but different is all....just helps the movie director keep that sense of privileged naive indignation on the foreigner...rather than the streetwise character that Farid was.
i read his book and it made me cry and could not sleep for a few days i thought of afghanistan. I pray that brothers and sisters in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Syria, Palestine, will soon get real independence, live safely, peacefully, amiin. ❤🇮🇩
In the book, Farid attacked him right?
Right how can they change such important details
@@Zeyneptezel12 also his broken glasses
The whole point is that Amir couldn’t stand up for himself, so Farid had to do it. I have no idea why in the movie they made Amir essentially break character.
someone can tell me whats the subject of this film ? i was watching a video and im here now dont understand
I like the movie a lot. They had to cut a good part of the things that happen in the book for reasons of safety for the cast (people, think about it, it was filmed in Afghanistan....) The boy who played Hassan even had to flee the country due to death threats due to the nude scene. I think adding more details from the original to the movie would make it unbearable to watch. What it has is enough to know that the boys' lives have been a disgrace.
Yeah, I saw it 4 years ago. That scene was fucked up even the kid who starred in this film and had to be in it was in exile in the United Arab Emirates and distanced himself from it.
this is what i mean about this group of people
The video of Sohrabs rescue has been scrubbed from RUclips.
Yeah, I saw it.
0:38 He gets the greeting wrong, he should say "alaikum assalam" instead of repeating the greeting
It’s not wrong, just not adhering to the Arabic way of greeting. It’s normal in Persian (Farsi/Dari/Tajiki) to reply exactly the same.
@@MiddleEasternGuy Never heard of that. My mom is Persian and she would say alaikum assalam, not repeat the same.
@@loner1878 Majority of the time Persians/Tajiks will say "Salâm" and the other person will say "Salâm" back. Occasionally the more formal version you mentioned will be used.
May be the same is happening in Gaza now.
Camse tell someone who cares cuz i clearly dont
What is that supposed to mean?
The Kite Runner was the worst book of all time. Can't believe they made a movie of such an awful book.
Why?
Your opinion isn't everyone's.
