The Movie The Kite Runner, based on Khaled Hosseinis 2003 novel is both horrific and haunting. You want to stop reading the book, but you cant put it down. The movie is just as powerful. It is about betrayal and hopes for redemption. It is about cultures in collision. It is about the terrible Taliban, and their cruelty. It is about war, occupation, and the devastation it brought on Afghanistan in the 1970s. It is also about fighter kite flying.
