Recently read a book by Khaled hossseini "The kite runner", the author was also acclaimed for his book "A thousand splendid suns" in 2007 ....Anyhow as i finished the book, my friend told me they even had a movie on it....as i really liked the book , downloading and watching the movie was inevitable specially after my entrance exams have finished....
The book is excellently written with each thought and dialogue expressed with great precision....
its about a young boy living and growing up in Kabul,Afghanistan with a friend cum servant who has been with him from his birth , but certain incidences change their lives and the way they look at it, and one of them leave as the Russians attack the place .....Mostly fiction but few facts are included.....
As for the movie
The music was really good, giving it an Afghani touch to it....
Most of the dialogues are in Farsi(subtitles provided).....
But wait the movie is not in coordination with the book......the scenes are not timed well....
When you read the book you can almost feel the character,read his thoughts(literally, as they are written by the writer. ..and in balloons in comics..duh)...but in the movie the expressions are a total led down...
though the movie got a whooping 7.9(8,637 votes) on imdb , but still felt something was missing...
i guess tats the price you have to pay for making a 320 pages book into a 2 hour movie....
Again, the same kind of scenario is seen in Harry Potter as the pages keep on increasing..
but the good thing is tat after the 5 th movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" ,
the directors have decided to make the 6th one in 2 parts with the 2nd part being released after a span of abt 2 months after the first.....
guess this time they wont be deleting almost every other details.......
