the kite runner movie


Question Posted Wednesday July 30 2008, 8:14 pm

i just read the kite runner, and i've never cried so much for a book or a movie. i want to watch the movie for it cause i hear it's good, but it got 67% on rottentomatoes.com. would you recommend it?

i hate reading books then watching the movies because, for example, when i read to kill a mockingbird, the director of the movie, imo, did a HORRIBLE job. things happened in the movie that were not explained at ALL! (e.g., when boo's brother cemented the hole in the tree). so i'd appreciate it if you could be honest! i'll rate you based on honesty & reasoningg

I haven't seen it yet but movies rarely
are as good as the books. You can describe
a persons thoughts in books, its hard to
act that out in a movie most of the time.

I don't think bad reviews should stop you
from watching the movie though. It won't
be the same but could still be a nice movie.

Forrest Gump was a great movie but they left
a LOT of stuff out of the movie. I'd
advise watching it. :)

Well, I read the book first, which I thought was absolutely amazing. The movie however, was horrible. I didn't even finish watching it. I thought the actors were bad, and I imagined the characters to look completely different. Some of them looked the complete opposite of what the book described. The movie wasn't very deep, but that could be because they left a lot of parts out (which of course is unavoidable, but if you're going to leave parts out, do it well so it doesn't seem clunky).

I wouldn't recommend it. If you're curious though, go ahead, but don't get your hopes up.

I would absolutely reccommend it. I actually read the book after I saw the film and I was surprised at how true the latter was to it. It is a brilliant piece of cinema in its own right but I really do think it does an amazing job of representing the book. The acting and cinematography is excellent and it's also incredibly moving. In my opinion, I don't think you will be at all disappointed and it is definitely worth seeing.
