the kite runner be one of those modern epic that one be occasionally grace with . span two continent and multiple family generation and and many decade and this film touch on a myriad of item include friendship and love and loss and and and ultimately and redemption . it prime mover be young amir ( zekeria ebrahimi ) and a native afghan boy who often play with the hire help while mainly young hassan ( ahmad khan mahmoodzada ) and a hazara boy who family be supposedly inferior to the ruling afghan . but the two form a bond of friendship base on education ( amir teach hassan to read ) and closeness in amir house and and and of course and kite fly . but bad time be on the way for the city of kabul . the communist be invade and amir and hassan have separate due to an impossibly brutal act of prejudice by an afghan boy against hassan . the two may never see each other again . amir father race to get himself and his son out of afghanistan and eventually find their way to america . here the two set up a gas station and live hand to mouth by sell at niche market . and a amir father gradually become ill and a new revelation will strike to the heart of amir while one that he can not ignore and require his return to his beloved kabul . a study of friendship and war and and reconciliation and the kite runner be truly a fantastic piece of cinema . the story be never inappropriately speak in english whenever be in a foreign country and and only broken english whenever be in america . this be refresh and lent itself to a sense of realism . the acting be on par with the best you will see and too . particular note must be make of homayoun ershadi who play baba and amir ail father and strong patriarch . also lead khalid abdalla a the old amir be play well and especially when return to kabul to find it in ruin while quite the contrast from when he would leave . the cinematography of afghanistan during amir escape and ultimate return be nothing short of breathtaking and with snow cap peak that will cause your mouth to slacken ( i be not sure exactly which mountain range they use in the film and but wherever it be i want to go there and film it myself . ) but it isn not the cinematography nor the acting of one or two people that make this film a success . it be a simple story tell very well that make it worth any movie watcher while . highly recommended .
