Movie-The Kite Runner

Anyone who enjoyed the book (and I did immensely) will enjoy this very faithful adaptation of The Kite Runner onto the big screen.

The movie of course could not have the detail of the book, but all the creators kept the events that really mattered, undiluted and clear. And in one way I think the film was better than the movie. The only gripe I had with the book was the number of coincidences that occurred, and the movie forgoes this narrative method, and plunges on straight forward.

The acting was excellent all the way through, from the kids to the adults, the adaptation was, as I said, terrific. And the director made all the right choices, from location to language choice to what to leave in and what to leave out.

The was a really good film, both for those who read the book and those that come to it fresh. Look for a cameo by the author near Khaled Hosseini, the end of the movie.
