I hope that after reading
The Kite Runner, you are filled with overwhelming amount of emotion. Perhaps you feel wonder, sorrow, hope, or even anger. More than anything, I hope that you feel the absolute need to know more. A book is just words on pages if one cannot connect to the spirit of the story. Movie producers, anyway, noticed the outstanding success of the bestseller and purchased the screening rights of the book. Directed by Marc Forster, the movie premiered in 2007.
The Kite Runner won The Satellite Award for Best Original Score and BFCA Critics' Choice Award for Best Young Actor, but was granted mix reviews. For instance, Manohla Dargis of the
New York Times says, "Mr. Forster never makes you believe in these children or their woes" while the
National Board of Review named
The Kite Runner as one of the top ten films of 2007. I encourage you to check out
The Kite Runner and decide for yourself if the movie is worthy of the book.
