The Kite Runner is a magnificent film and i was very surprised to like it as much as i did. I found it to be very sad at times, but the ending was bittersweet. There are many many differences between America and Afghanistan, probably the most out of all the countries we have viewed. Politically, Afghanistan is super dangerous in the film. Men are required to wear beards and women must be covered head to tow which in America we do not.
The plot begins in present day and we see Amir as a grown man and he is reliving his memory as a child. Then the story of when he was younger starts and we watch as Amir and Hassen become good friends until one day Hassen isn't able to defend Amir causing Amir to hate him and neglect him as a person. Not long after that, Amir and his family are forced to flee the country because of political turmoil.
He looses contact with Hassen and eventually moves to America. He find out shocking news that Hassen was his brother and he goes back to retrieve his nephew and son of Hassen who is now killed. All ends well with Amir and his wife accepting Hassen's child and they start a family together. Overall this movie was very touching and it was my favorite of the ones we have watched.
