I love Hosseini's
I love Hosseini's confrontation with pivotal issues that are still prevalent in Afghanistan today. Paramount Vantage, the studio producing the film, just last week, postponed the release date back six weeks in an attempt to ensure the safety of the young actors in the film. The controversial rape scene and the political unrest between the Hazara and Pashtun are showcased in the movie(www.kiterunnermovie.com). It is a shame that the very topics Hosseini discusses in his novel are still, obviously, present today - so much so that a mere independent film could potentially cause drastic ramifications in the Afghan community.
I am anxiously awaiting the
I am anxiously awaiting the release of this movie. Unfortunately, the date has been pushed back six weeks in an attempt to secure the safety of the young child actors in the film. Hosseini's story is moving and I am confident that Marc Forster's translation of the narrative into cinema is faithful to the author's message. Check out the site Kite Runner Movie and look for the movie in theatres in mid December.
