the kite runner begin a one of those important film that most people fawn over because they be tell that they should if they want to be among the elite and quickly descend into an idiotic film of absurdly outlandish proportion . i have never read the book and and never felt the need because i honestly do not care . sure i be call uninformed for say it but i truly have no interest whatsoever in just another pull at your heartstrings and copy off of all other story line to get emotion from the reader novel and even if it be set in afghanistan . that say and i watch the movie . i heard good thing about it beauty and and how touch it be and decide why not . a it turn out and there be a very good reason why not . not only be the so called main character completely unsympathetic ( i get it and he be young and this be a film about redemption but honestly he be horrible . i hat him and not in that good anti hero way and he be just a dull and idiotic and self absorbed character that i felt nothing towards ) but the rest of the story be so completely absurd that i couldn not believe how everyone else be fawn over how beautiful it be and and how they cry and it move them . i be sorry and but i only feel move by something that feel realistic and sci fi have be know to move me and fantasy as well . but this . please . this surpass many other movie for pure absurdity . my big peeve and hassan be amir brother . really . you sure you do not just rip that off from a thousand other story . positive that that particular tidbit wasn not just add in to try to pull more tear out of your audience ( yknow the type of people who look for reason to cry during a movie ) . i be roll my eye when that twist be reveal knowing that it could only go downhill from there ( not to mention flash back to star war amir and hassan be your brother nooooo and that not true and that impossible . ) oh and and it certainly do . fill to the brim with cliché and just plan dumb storytelling . like good guy miraculously escape bad guy against all odds with help from spunky kid who despite be viciously sodomize and have no clue who you be be willing to help out with a conveniently place weapon that hold special meaning to you . ooh and do not forget the oh so idiotic finally get vengeance on the kid who tease you when you be little who and surprise surprise and have turn into a psychopathic adult ( trust me guy and i understand you like to live vicariously through movie but that will never happen . you know that kid who tease you in high school . he no terrorist and he probably an accountant . ) oh and and i must mention the cgi tastic kite . i think those be on par with the matrix movie and transformer bravo you guy . bravo . it seem this movie be just make for western audience who need to a reason to care about the middle east ( hey an overly emotional friendship story will work . ) this be one of the most shallow movie i have have the misfortune of see and it pose a deep well . but when you get right down to it and it nothing special . unfortunately and the core of america audience will do what theyre tell and follow the it about controversial material so it must be good . way of thinking .
