秋风扫落叶
很好看，。《纽约时报》用专栏文章对这段故事给予了极高的评价，称这是“我们时代的一幅风情画。”只知道该电影原声音乐获80届奥斯卡最佳配乐提名，其他的不太清楚……Guide Review - Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini - Book ReviewOn one level, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of story. Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal. The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amir's childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amir's voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. Similarly, I became attached to Hassan and his father. The characters became real to me, and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world. I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs(see Kite Runner Book Club Discussion Questions). For those of you who are not in a reading group, read it and then loan it to a friend. You are going to want to talk about it when you finish.
