The Kite Runner

Just finished watching The Kite Runner, and really i haven't watch such a movie in a really long time. The movie an emotional (friendship, family, redemption) film that is really worth watching on the whole! Makes me wanna go fly kite...

*spoiler alert*

The part where this guy Assef (a Taliban Executioner) throws stones at the lady all wrapped up....is damn scary can! i thought he's gonna shoot her!!!

Found out from Wikipedia that the execution part may be inspired from a true execution in March 1997 where a married woman, from Laghman Province was caught attempting to flee from the district with another man. The Islamic tribunal found her guilty of adultery and condemned both her and her lover to death by stoning.

And i think Hassan is a super loyal friend...even after all that Amir did and did not do to/for him, he still regards him as his good friend! people like him may be close to extinction.

There's this part in the movie Amir and Hassan said to each other "Inshallah" before the tournament, and i recalled learning the word from Dr Ameen Talib during his talk about doing business in the Middle East. Inshallah means...In god's will or leaving it to fate. It was nice hearing the word being used in the movie! haha

*end of spoiler*
