Two of the most difficult things for adapting a book to the big screen are to preserve the essence of the book and to not destroy the original intention of the author.And the extraordinary film The Kite Runner achieves both things.The Kite Runner is a masterpiece; a genuinely extraordinary film.In this film,every scene has a point to the story.There is not even one pointless scene.Screenwriter David Benioff made a wonderful job in adapting a book to the screenplay and his work should be taken as an example for adapting books.The actors are unknown but their performances in this movie are amazing.The kid actors are the ones which most surprised me because,in spite of their young age,they made perfect performances in some difficult scenes and they can express a lot of emotions without talking.Director Marc Forster also made a perfect work.His direction is absolutely precise and detailed and,now,more than ever,I am waiting to see Quantum of Solace.I'm sure he will not disappoint.The Kite Runner is an enormous masterpiece and one of the best (if not the best) films I have seen in a while.This movie is an absolute must see to any lover of the cinema and any casual spectator.

中文釋義:
《追風箏的人》是美籍阿富汗作家卡勒德·胡賽尼(Khaled Hosseini)的第一部長篇小說,全書圍繞風箏與阿富汗的兩個少年之間展開,一個富家少年與家中僕人關於風箏的故事,關於人性的背叛與救贖。
主人公阿米爾是一個有著復雜形象的人物,小說以第一人稱的角度講述了阿米爾的故事。阿米爾生於1963年喀布爾的一個富人社區中的一個富裕家庭。其父親「爸爸」是普什圖人,一名法官的兒子,成功的地毯商人。阿米爾家的僕人阿里的兒子哈桑則出身哈扎拉人。
阿米爾和哈桑是好玩伴,哈桑是一個特別忠實,正直,一心只為阿米爾少爺著想的人,兩個人經常一起玩耍、游戲。阿米爾是出色的「風箏鬥士」,即善於用自己的風箏切斷別人的風箏的線;
哈桑也是傑出的「風箏追逐者」,因為阿富汗斯坦的傳統是線被切斷而落下的風箏歸追到它的人所有。

《追風箏的人》創作背景:
卡勒德·胡賽尼和他的兄弟在喀布爾度過的日子就像阿米爾和哈桑的生活那樣,夏天的大部分時間都在上學。冬天就去放風箏,在電影院看約翰·韋恩的電影。書中跟他的經歷最相似的情節是在美國的日子,阿米爾和他的父親努力創造新的生活。

❸ 有誰有THE KITE RUNNER 的簡介《追風箏的人》的英文簡介
This is a wonderful,beautiful epic of a novel.Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day,it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy,Amir,and his best friend who are torn apart.This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.
Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba,one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul.He has failed to do so through academia or brawn,but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament.Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly,to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man.His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen,and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble.But Hassan is a Shi'a Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan.Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amir's school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amir's house.So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend?Then,what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives,and define their futures.
The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseini's deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land.Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s,Hassan was narrator Amir's closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amir's father's servant and a member of Afghanistan's despised Hazara minority.But in 1975,on the day of Kabul's annual kite-fighting tournament,something unspeakable happened between the two boys.
Narrated by Amir,a 40-year-old novelist living in California,The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy,fear,and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics.Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amir's equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth.The first Afghan novel to be written in English,The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shah's 40-year reign and traces the country's fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban.When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassan's orphaned child,the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.
The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States in 1980,Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry.Like the kite that is its central image,the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to dive to the ground.But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.

Book Description
Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite-fighting tournament, to prove that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan promises to help him - for he always helps Amir - but this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low-caste servant who is jeered at in the street, although Amir still feels jealous of his natural courage and the place he holds in his father's heart. But neither of the boys could foresee what would happen to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament, which was to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return, to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.

❻ 求一篇 英文 追風箏的人 介紹
《追風箏的人》講述了12歲的阿富汗富家少爺阿米爾與他父親僕人兒子哈桑之間的友情故事,作者並沒有很華麗的文筆,她僅僅是用那淡柔的文字細膩 的勾勒了家庭與友誼,背叛與救贖,卻給我以震撼。當僕人哈桑——阿米爾最好的夥伴,被其他富家少爺圍困在角落裡施以暴力時,阿米爾——哈桑最信任的朋友,卻蜷縮在陰暗的角落裡默默注視,直到淚流滿面卻仍不敢挺身幫助哈桑時,我聽到了心碎的聲音。可命運的指針並沒有停止,阿米爾因為懦弱而極端害怕直至慚愧不已,無法面對哈桑。最後甚至栽贓他,讓他永遠離開了這個家。到後來阿米爾獲悉哈桑竟是自己同父異母的兄弟時,悔恨與傷痛糾結。當中年的阿米爾偶然得知哈桑的消息時,他卻不顧危險,前往家鄉阿富汗,開始了救贖。但時間是可怕的,因為它可以讓一切都改變。終於回到家鄉的阿米爾,目睹了家鄉的變化,戰亂不斷,民不聊生。同時也見到了兒時的老管家,見到了荒廢的家,也得知了,哈桑的死訊。哈桑死了,阿米爾的救贖卻沒有停止,哈桑唯一的兒子索拉博落入了阿米爾兒時的宿敵手中,兒時的懦弱和愧疚纏繞著中年的阿米爾……,
一場救贖再次開始。故事的最後,阿米爾救回了索拉博,可此時的索拉博卻因精神上的傷痛至以完全失去感情,唯有說起風箏——那哈桑和阿米爾童年最喜愛的玩物時,才會不知覺的笑起來……書的後半段寫得是主人公心靈的救贖。他費盡周折找到了哈桑的兒子索拉博,追到了心中漂移已久的風箏,重新成為一個堂堂正正的男子漢,生活的大門終於又向他敞開了。阿米爾的結局,相比較而言,是幸福的。他終於明白了彼此的意義——以生命為代價。
書中的情感不僅僅是親情,不僅僅是友情,只要是能夠沉下心來閱讀的人,都會被其中直指人心的情感打動,也會從中折射出自己曾經有過的心緒,比如傷害別人時的快意和猶疑;危機關頭的懦弱無助;親人面臨危險時的慌亂無措;愛情乍到時的浮躁不安;失去親人時的悲傷孤獨;應該擔當責任時的自私推諉,以及時常湧上心頭的自責、自卑和贖罪的沖動……這樣的情感沒有任何的虛偽做作,是一個人在面臨變化的那一刻來不及思索的真實反應,是一個人在夜深人靜時最私密的捫胸自問。胡賽尼的筆猶如一把尖利的刻刀,將人性的真實刻畫得近乎殘酷,卻又毫不嘩眾取寵。
也許故事的結局並不完美,也許有些許苦澀與酸楚。但人生就是這樣,犯錯,錯過,再用一生來挽回。
❼ 求《追風箏的人》英文人物介紹,只要阿米爾和哈桑就可以,不用太詳細
拉辛汗是阿米爾父親的朋友,也是阿米爾的朋友、啟蒙老師(從某些方面可以這么說,他是第一個鼓勵阿米爾創作的成年人);拉辛汗也可以說是哈桑的朋友,在後來阿米爾和其父親去了美國後就和哈桑一家人生活在了一起,這一階段拉辛汗等於哈桑的主人。拉辛汗為人和藹親切,所以說可以把他定位為這阿米爾和哈桑的朋友和長輩。

作品主題:
《追風箏的人》清新自然,以寫實的筆法,訴說著溫情與殘酷,美麗與苦難,它不僅僅展示了一個人的心靈成長史,也展示了一個民族的靈魂史,一個國家的苦難史。

其實,人性的救贖是這部小說的核心價值。
