The Kite Runner
I watched The Kite Runner last night. I had read the novel and the film was just as wonderful. The story begins in Afghanistan just before the Russians invaded. It ends twenty-some years later when the protagonist and his friend are no longer children. It is a story of love and betrayal, and of cruelty; but mainly, I think, it is a film that helps us understand courage, cowardice and remorse, and to realize the importance of self forgiveness.

What language is it in?
Mud Mama: A combination of English and Afghan, I believe. I am so used to reading sub-titles that I sometimes think the movie was in English ... but I think I am right here. I have given it back to Sarah so I can't check.
