CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Amir (Khalid Abdalla) enters into Taliban-occupied Afghanistan.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Finding Neverland director Marc Forster adapts author Khaled Hosseini's critically acclaimed novel about two childhood best friends forever torn apart as their country is ravaged by endless war and bitter strife. As children, Amir (Khalid Abdalla) and Hassan were inseparable; their long days under azure Kabul skies often spent getting into innocent mischief or preparing for the highly anticipated kite-fighting tournament. When the day of the tournament arrives, however, a glorious victory is quickly offset by a timorous act of betrayal that ultimately serves as the catalyst for catastrophe. Not long after that fateful day, Amir moves away to America, leaving his old friend behind just as the ominous specter of war turns tragically tangible. Two decades later, Amir returns to Afghanistan to find his beloved homeland has now fallen under the iron-fisted rule of the Taliban. Still, all hope for redemption hasn't been lost just yet, because now that Amir stands face to face with the irrepressible secrets that he struggled so vigilantly to bury, he will receive one last chance to make peace with the past, and lay the groundwork for a brighter future.

The book has so many unforgettable chapters that it just can't be made into a 90-minute movie! It would be a great injustice to an outstanding work that needs to be read and re-read to be fully appreciated.

[@katannep7798]

I agree, this is a shadow of the book. Maybe it would be better as a limited series on Netflix or something

[@cinna-manspice4449]

I love both. I’m shocked how broken but beautiful they filmed Afghanistan.

the taliban coming back to power reminds me of this movie.

@@omarshinwari7823 idk about that. theyre absolute fanatics and kill women if they simply try to get an education or show too much skin, so i wouldnt be surprised at all if this were true..

[@omarshinwari7823]

@@smoothbrained4channer976 Yeah well im afghan and that pretty much false lol also reaosn why theres no education for women is because a shortage of female teachers and showing too much skin is wrong in Afghan culture and islam. Burka has been the traditon of afghans for hundredes of years. You can see old 1700s painting of afghan womem wearing it A women not wearing burka in afghanistan Is like a man with his balls out in the west. just so you can see the perspective

The movie is better than the book

[@essjay9623]

No movie can match the book on which it has been made. The simple reason is that there is no way to depict or show the emotions, feelings and sentiments or the effect of weather or the agony of pain or the pangs of jealousy or the feeling of sinking pit in the stomach at the sight of a fearsome thing.

[@snigdhasingha104]

The book is way better than the movie
