The Kite Runner

i watch movies a lot (as you might have noticed from my posts). this morning, i just finished watching "The Kite Runner". it is indescribable! i will not post a synopsis this time as i want you guys to watch it. the movie is about 2 hours long but you will not notice it.

i'm a modern guy, i always want to see a technology or a thing that is familiar to me. something that is new and up to date. that's why i don't like country music. it's so, country. boring. makes me feel that i'm in the provinces or in a farm. this movie, though set in early kabul in afghanistan, did not bore me at all. aside from the fact that what was shown is a totally unfamiliar culture to me, hence my curiosity, the actors also did a believable job in giving their characters life and depth. overall, this movie succeeds in giving us a peek into the lives of muslims. i've always been curious about how intense they are when it comes to islam and their religious beliefs. i still find it refreshing that some people can be so passionate about they're spiritual conceptions amidst all the new sciences and morals that are surfacing.

but ultimately, this is a movie about love. the love of a father for his children, the love of a child for his parents, the love of a citizen for his country, the love of a person for his spouse and the love of a friend for his brother.

as the movie's tag line goes: "There is a way to be good again."
