For you a thousand times over!

It breaks your heart. Everytime you watch the conviction, the blind faith, and the bright note the heart-wrenching ending, it breaks your heart.

Kite Runner is a remarkable story, which uncovers a thousand tales never told of children forgotten and lost in war. It's easy for anyone to say that war torn countries like Afghanistan, Bosnia, Palestine, and many more have lost generations to war. The weight this statement carries alone is enormous only if one stops to think of the darker stories that happen behind the three lettered word W.A.R.

Six months ago, a Swiss research company had published man made calamities vs. natural calamities. The findings indicated that in 2007, man made calamities outnumbered natural calamities. Furthermore, casualities caused as a result of man made calamities were more than the later. It comes as no surprise that the calamity which topped the chart was WAR. Now that will be no real news for children who have grown up witnessing the battle of war and peace; power and corruption; hate and violence; fear and plain fear.

Kite Runner communicates the elements and demons of war that affect innocent lives. Lives which had so much more to give, cherish, and live for. And how it all comes crashing down in an environment of political turmoil. It bares out the consequences of war that pass on from one generation to the other. One of the moving messages was through a key character, Baba (Aga Sahib) who stands for his principles and is fearless to show it. Baba symbolised the progressive and enlightenend sons of the Land.

"There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft... When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. " (Baba to Amir Jan)

Another aspect in the Kite Runner is the the sacred bond of friendship between Amir Jan and Rahim Khan that is put to test time and again. But it leaves you crying and wondering why don't the good deserve wining over the bad?

However, Baba's message to the audience is a strong one. Live, fight and adapt while the tale of friendship that the plot of the movie revolves around makes one wonder the cost of chances hesitance or fate is high. It can cost one a lifetime. And yet, you still sit up and smile and yell for you...a thousand times over!
