The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner was published on 2003 by an Afghani America writer His name is Khaled Hosseini. The main two characters were Amir and Hassan who used to live in Wazir Akbar Khan. Amir was the son of the rich and famous person in Afghanistan by then. The theme of the Movie was the feeling of guilt, and steel, “There are a lot of types of steeling. You could steel by lying, by hiding the truth and by steeling people’s life if you had to kill them.” It also talked about the transition of life between 1978 and after 1978, when the Soviet Union invented Afghanistan.

Characters who reside more in the mind and their thoughts than in their body and their emotions put distance between the story and the audience. Thoughts can lie. Dialogue can lie, too. However, emotions are universal, relatable and humanizing. Emotions always tell the truth.” That’s exactly where the word emotion, mean and came from. The director used the emotions to feel what’s like to be living in Afghanistan as a child and as a human, and what is like to feel guilty and what you would do in order to have another chance to be good
