For you, a thousand times over.

I don't know why, but I happened to watch The Kite Runner for the second time. Having read the book, initially, when I heard about the existence of this film, i was a bit skeptical. Usually, we have seen films ruining the book. Sometimes, they do not exude the required emotion. And when it came to The Kite Runner, a book filled with human emotions-i was almost sure about the pathetic adaptation this film would have. But then, i was proved wrong. When i saw it for the first time, the film brought in me those same emotions which had surfaced when i was reading the book. Maybe for the first time, a book and a film on it, had equally appealed to me!

Now, when i happened to see it for the second time. I don't know why, but it moved me a lot. Even though i knew the story in and out and i knew the film's adaptation. Somewhere it still touched me. And it made me realize, that the film was better than the book. It was better than what i had imagined while reading the book. The direction, acting, screenplay, everything was beyond appreciation! Especially the music, which was eternal!

I don't know why people didn't enjoy the film. If it's the reason of cutting out stuff from the book, then i don't buy the reason. A two hour motion picture cannot have every scene of a 400 paged book. It's practically not possible. But still, this film made it's best attempt to get all the emotions right. And invariably, it turns out better than the book.

Kite Runner is one of the most admirable books i have ever read. I loved it for it's simplicity and it's real human emotions. And the film, just gave me the icing on the cake.
Sometimes, when i think about Aamir, Hassan, and everyone who was a part of that story...i seem to be transported into a world, where love, friendship, and humanity have no bounds. We just never understand this. This film (and the book) made me realize that life was more than being a part of a society where you wish to be someone, who could stand out.Be it the moving lines "for you, a thousand times over" or "there's a way to be good again" ...i don't fail to remember this film, because it made me realize so much about things that didn't seem so trivial.

I wish to walk down the lane of love and friendship, lined with flowers. I wish to see the stars shine always. And I wish that, when i turn around-I don't find myself alone...


Thanks.
