Worth the Popcorn?

Before seeing this movie, I didn’t read the book. Some say the book is better than the movie, but most people agree on the fact that you should definitely watch this movie. The movie is really touching, because of the themes of friendship, family, human values and courage, which are subjects we can all relate to.

The actors of the young Amir and Hassan have played their roles very realistically, which made the entire movie even more touching. I couldn’t forget what Amir had done to Hassan and therefore I loved the ending in which Amir will have a second chance. Maybe we should give each other a second chance more often.
