this book gave me a hard time accepting the turmoils, deception, lies and what hurts most is the pain hassan endured and his lasting pure love for amir and baba. his heart is so pure i wish he lived longer😭
God I really hated Amir for a good part of the book for how he treated Hassan. I mean his unwavering friendship,and loyalty to someone who didn't even acknowledge him as friend was heartbreaking and the rape literally left me crying for an hour. One of the,saddest books I've read and one of the best
Rhonda Graham He indeed was a spoiled rich kid... But when you stop to think about it... Our hearts are not that different from his. We would've felt the same if we had experienced the exact same life. Amir felt disturbed about Hassan's unnatural humility... That's why he did all those horrible things to Hassan. To see if he was ever going to react but it never happened.
Imagine, as a 12 year old, watching your best friend get raped Also imagine that your best friend is your servant, and also that his race is looked down upon my many. It's a very difficult situation to understand, and while what Amir did was wrong, he wasn't pure evil and was still young.
I guess that's the beauty of the book - the flaws that the characters have. Amir isn't perfect, neither is his dad. Their flaws are what make them so relatable.
Hassan as a kid was exactly how u would picture him in the book. It’s impossible to feel wanting to hug that little boy forever and protect him from everything . He was so pure and even as a grown up in the letter, he had no malice in his heart and just wanted Flowers to bloom and people to be happy. They should have kept him alive and him and Amir could reunite😭
I really appreciate Hosseini's books about Afghanistan...it gives people an idea of the conditions the country has been undergoing for 30-40 years now...
Agreed, even if it doesn't compare to the actual extent of what happens in war-torn countries it still makes you realize the amount of mental, emotional, physical torture everyone experiences. Which is nothing short of heartbreaking. Unlike some other "sad" books I've read, I couldn't bring to stop myself crying by saying to myself that it's just fiction, because it's not. Even worse things happen and it's all reality.
This left me crying like a lil baby. The kite runner is one of my favorite books ever. Khaled’s writing is brilliant. You know a good writer when he/she is able to make you laugh at one page then break your heart on another. Unforgettable story.
Hassan was a real one, a brother to Aamir even before Aamir knew that they were related. Hassan was love, was bortherhood, was loyalty. When Aamir sees Sohrab, he sees his brother, he sees the friend who he hurt and because of that, he chooses to serve Hassan and proves that love is service. Even though he never gets to say sorry and hug Hassan, he loves him and shows that through his love for Sohrabh.
My beloved Hassan, Assalamualaikum. After years of denial I returned to Kabul only to know that death chose you before me. I came back to where I left and you left a part of you for me. I don't know if I could ever amass the courage to choose to stand in front of you right after I left you in a war, around and within. Sohrab has your eyes, he has let my guilt dissipate a bit and here,now I see the war is far from over. God chose you for me ..the brave for the coward. If there exists a place where I could hold you warm and tight for one last time, a place where you never meet war just know I want to belong there. If you ever come back I'd read this out for you, over kebabs out in the pomegranate field. If you ever come back we'd make it to "Hassan and Amir -Sultans of Kabul". We'll make the kites fly higher nonchalantly, and let them go to places we don't know exists and this time I'll bring them back for you…."For you a thousand times over, Hassan." The Kite Runner I wrote this as an alternate ending a letter Hassan never received.
I read the book years before I saw the movie, and I think the movie kept the important message that stuck with me when I read the book. Of course the book will always have more nuances, but the movie is still amazing.
“To revisit the land of our childhood”. This line always makes me really sad. I grew up in multiple cities, one of then i stayed in for 6 years, i hated that city but found friends and connections, at the time i was so happy to finally move out at the age of 11 years old. Now i remember it like a dream, i remember playing with my brother, who is now married and has a kid of his own. This line brings back those memories for me. And now that we dont even live in that country anymore this line always makes me sad, if we will ever go back to that city to walk where we once walked and laughed and fought.
Hassan's letter teared me to pieces, especially the last few sentences. After all he went through, he has every right to curse the world however he remained kind, loyal, and loving.
The fact that his wife loved him so much she ran to hold him and died herself for this shows he did in fact find someone who appreciated him deeply and reciprocated his love
"I dream that my son will grew up to be a good person a free person and an important person ..." every time i watch this scene and hear this sentence i cry a river of tears :') .. luv the movie and of course luved the novel ,, yes there'r so many differences between the movie and the novel but i just luv everything named"The kite runner" .. touching story :) ,,
Such a great book and movie (even if the movie didn’t have certain things). It’s a great story with relatable characters. This scene was so beautiful! Amir is reading the letter Hassan who he now knows is his brother and now knowing how the home he used to know is now what we see on the news. So powerful and sad.
Amir is an admiration to me, besides speaking Pashto he also managed to learn English, possibly Arabic, and I'd like to imagine he learned Spanish too at one point. I read the book as an intermediate English speaker in Mexico when I just came into the US, the book made me say "if Amir mastered the language so should I", Mexicans, middle easterns, central Asians, Indians, and other Latinos we all share something special in this country
I imagined sohrab in Polaroid, holding Hassan's thigh with one hand and placing his head on his hip... Anyways really nice cinematography but the book has the feeling for this scene much more stronger than this.
I love the way they have Directed this scene, when the cart accidentally droped the 'Pomogranets'. The same fruit, pomegranates Amir hit Hassan with! And the hurt ,regret and gulit, it's clearly seen on Amirs face. The irony!!
The narrator who is supposed to be the voice actor of Hassan is mumbling. I mean I can still understand a few bits on what he's saying it's just that i have to increase the sound on my phone. Neverthless, its a heart touching video altogether.
SIX MONTHS BEFORE HE CAME. AMIR YOU WERE SIX MONTHS TOO LATE. To know that Hassan told someone else about what happened to him... to think Hassan was still bright and fun till the end
No movie making can do justice to the novel. About the picture hassan sent; sohrab was holding hassan’s leg, hassan was having big smile on his face standing infront of the gate of house and sunlight on his face which made him look brighter. The beard pattern resembles as described in the novel. Love the hassan’s character, the faithfulness you can never find in real life and the innocence that melts the heart. Hated amir for being a jerk in start 😞
They could have prevented most of the things just by letting know that amir and hasan was step siblings,( society doesnt need to know if their precious male ego hurts ),but the kids deserves to know the truth of their existence. So amir wont be jealous of hasan . Both know their place , hasan could have read and write .. Both could have gone to america together Both would be happy with their family....
One of my all time favorite books and movies. The central theme seems to be all about forgiveness..giving and receiving. Mr. Hosseini's books give the reader a part of Afghanistan to hold in their heart. If there's anyone else who doesn't know about Tamim Ansary,he is the other great Afghan-american author whose name should be a household word. ❤️🇦🇫
Bruh I felt sooo bad for Hassan in the book. He was treated badly from Amir despite being loyal and now he never even had the chance to reunite with him 😭 if I were Amir in that situation, I’d feel guilty to the 1000th power
I read the book almost done with it watch some clips I starting crying of remembering some scenes from the book then I’m regretting watching the movie I will cry 😭
"For You A thousand times over ", this line gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it or I read it or comes in my mind.
In Dari or Persian whatever you call it it's 'baree khodet, hazaar dafa'
Same here
Yes, very touching sentiment
Hassan was too pure for this world. I only read this book for Hassan. Deep down I knew he and Amir wouldn't get their happy ending but I still hoped.
And when you return, you will find an old faithful friend waiting for you....this sentence touched me more than anything.
what makes it more sad is that Hassan is not actually gonna be there >_< :'(
I thought about Hassan not being there as well. That is the hardest hit by the feels train.....
Ikrrr 💔💔💔
I can relate to that lines and touched me and made me cry realizing I miz my childhood friends way back in the Philippines
this book gave me a hard time accepting the turmoils, deception, lies and what hurts most is the pain hassan endured and his lasting pure love for amir and baba. his heart is so pure i wish he lived longer😭
God I really hated Amir for a good part of the book for how he treated Hassan.

That's how I felt, I was so upset with Amir and thought he was this spoiled rich kid.

+ChalupaBatmanMacArthur i literally threw the book at that chapter. i really despised amir 😭
Imagine, as a 12 year old, watching your best friend get raped
Also imagine that your best friend is your servant, and also that his race is looked down upon my many. It's a very difficult situation to understand, and while what Amir did was wrong, he wasn't pure evil and was still young.

Those flashbacks to little Hassan just break my heart
jimbo nutrin right

He was so pure and even as a grown up in the letter, he had no malice in his heart and just wanted Flowers to bloom and people to be happy.

The wording of the letter is just touching. The imagery is of peace, beauty, and serenity and he is longing for it to return.
🙏🙏🙏🙏

This book broke my heart, it’s one of those stories that you just cannot forget.
The book and movie were both amazing. The child who played Hassan was beyond perfect, I want to adopt him!
I was so choked up watching this scene.
“For you a thousand times over”

No matter how many times I watch this I end up tearing

As an Afghan i feel every word of this letter, I am working on my on novel. The old Afghanistan is long dead, the kindness is really gone.
Hassan's letter teared me to pieces, especially the last few sentences. After all he went through, he has every right to curse the world however he remained kind, loyal, and loving.
"May God be with you always. Hassan..."
RIP Hassan you will never be forgotten
😭😭😭😭😭
This scene is a masterpiece.
Vuk Knezevic indeed . This part was one of the best in terms if cinematography, ply and direction
👏👏👏
He is so underrated and understated in such a great way. His perfomance in United 93 gave me chills
I think someone is chopping onions up in here....
Just cant watch this without crying
Khalid Abdalla is such a good actor! He was excellent in United 93 as Ziad Jarrah and as Amir in The Kite Runner! Beautiful scene! Mashallah.
so sad, may allah bless the muslims of afghanistan
Decent Master that’s not the work of religion. That’s the work misguided extremist hate.
Nick Valdos Without religion, there wouldn't be those extremists
God wouldn't demand what the Taliban is doing. A quote i once heard, "They're self important men who claim to know more than the God they worship".
@@decentmaster9086 you will regret what you said in hell
@@decentmaster9086 ok goo
I can't watch this without crying.. :(
The fact that his wife loved him so much she ran to hold him and died herself for this shows he did in fact find someone who appreciated him deeply and reciprocated his love
Even if you’re not afghani this book made me feel so lonely. Your country is gone, your best friend is gone and then his father is gone.
That explosions in the sky soundtrack makes this more pain full to watch
"I dream that my son will grew up to be a good person a free person and an important person ..." every time i watch this scene and hear this sentence i cry a river of tears :') .. luv the movie and of course luved the novel ,, yes there'r so many differences between the movie and the novel but i just luv everything named"The kite runner" .. touching story :) ,,
Damn this part made me cry so much :(
This whole movie is so emotionally powerful.
I can't even watch this, I'm going to cry.
Hardly a night or day goes by that I do not think of some passage from this book. You have touched the heart of an American.
The book was amazing so was the movie. Always makes me cry no matter how much I have watched it or read it over
poor hassan..your loyalty makes me cry 😢
Music is from Friday Night Lights -- An Ugly Fact of Life.
Like so others can see!
It’s from that movie, but the artist is Explosions in The Sky!!
omg i love that show
I just read the book and I’m so sad now
Absolutely beautiful. No matter how many times I watch I always end up teary eyed. Peace and love to everyone ✌🏽❤️
Gets me all the time. All the freaking time.
Such a great book and movie (even if the movie didn’t have certain things). It’s a great story with relatable characters. This scene was so beautiful! Amir is reading the letter Hassan who he now knows is his brother and now knowing how the home he used to know is now what we see on the news. So powerful and sad.
This scene broke me. Such a sad movie, but this is the scene that really makes you feel something.
I cry everytime watch this scene
Always makes me cry.
This book was one of the best of ive ever read hands down.
I swear this book was wild. A Thousand Splendid Suns was also equally as insane. Absolutely incredible.
hassan is such a sweetheart
Damn this movie makes me feel horrible for what my parents had to go through as kids
im crying so badly right now
Amir is an admiration to me, besides speaking Pashto he also managed to learn English, possibly Arabic, and I'd like to imagine he learned Spanish too at one point.
I read the book as an intermediate English speaker in Mexico when I just came into the US, the book made me say "if Amir mastered the language so should I", Mexicans, middle easterns, central Asians, Indians, and other Latinos we all share something special in this country
cry a lot... but again the movie cut many parts in book. like when sohrab try to kill him self . i thought that was the important thing to show.
When the crates of pomegranate fell of the truck… I was in tears
yes but it's also *gold* for literary analysis
My beautiful country ❤️
For you a thousand times over
I think I've cried every time I turn the page..
Watched this so many times but it never fails to reduce me to a crying mess :'(
"for you, a thousand times over"
This scene so emotional 😭❤️
the best book i have ever read
I know
I imagined sohrab in Polaroid, holding Hassan's thigh with one hand and placing his head on his hip... Anyways really nice cinematography but the book has the feeling for this scene much more stronger than this.
The book describes it beautifully
I love the way they have Directed this scene, when the cart accidentally droped the 'Pomogranets'. The same fruit, pomegranates Amir hit Hassan with! And the hurt ,regret and gulit, it's clearly seen on Amirs face. The irony!!
the way i bawled my eyes out at this scene
The narrator who is supposed to be the voice actor of Hassan is mumbling. I mean I can still understand a few bits on what he's saying it's just that i have to increase the sound on my phone. Neverthless, its a heart touching video altogether.
It's amir Jan speaking 🤣😂
the movie simply made me cry i was amzing and great
Not even a grave for Amir to visit and pay respects.
For me, this is one the best scene in cinematic history.!
I.cry.every.single.time.
beautiful and lively streets of peshawar.. this city is a beauty
I cried . I'm so sorry for Hassan for Baba for Ali .
Who's cutting onions?
I’m crying nonstop 🥺
Balled my eyes out whew! What a great movie!
SIX MONTHS BEFORE HE CAME. AMIR YOU WERE SIX MONTHS TOO LATE. To know that Hassan told someone else about what happened to him... to think Hassan was still bright and fun till the end

Hated amir for being a jerk in start 😞
NGL, I cried reading the book. This chapter was sad in the book.
I used to be very prejudice against middle eastern people, then 13 years ago in high school I read the Kite Runner and it changed me.
What a short lived dream, hardly 20 years of struggle for freedom and now they're back to square one 💔😭😭
it's a heart touching movement for me I proud over u khalidhyssani
this is really upsetting to watch with what’s happening in Kabul..
Beautiful novel.. Nicem movie.. heart breaking.. and yet beautiful.. !
may we all have a Hassan in our lives
They could have prevented most of the things just by letting know that amir and hasan was step siblings,( society doesnt need to know if their precious male ego hurts
),but the kids deserves to know the truth of their existence.
So amir wont be jealous of hasan . Both know their place , hasan could have read and write ..
Both could have gone to america together
Both would be happy with their family....
This scene will always have my Heart! ♥️♥️♥️

I want afghanistan as flourished as any west or central asia world or any other normal country is doing!
Ameen.
beautiful reconciliation scene
the book is far more better then movie..... my imagination was totally different about amir
The book on my home warehouse bought me here
makes me cry every time :'(
Such a touching scene
..great movie,, so under rated
I should sue the author of the book for the emotional damage it caused. Seriously, it is so sad. I cried like a baby.
Bruh I felt sooo bad for Hassan in the book. He was treated badly from Amir despite being loyal and now he never even had the chance to reunite with him 😭 if I were Amir in that situation, I’d feel guilty to the 1000th power
I read the book almost done with it watch some clips I starting crying of remembering some scenes from the book then I’m regretting watching the movie I will cry 😭
No I am not crying.
i still cry
well this didn’t age well.. so devastating and upsetting
