yo cappy-my-buddy-ole-pal (missing for unknown reasons :P) and other folks!

i watched the movie yesterday in a special screening function . overall, i must say i liked it. while it's needless to iterate that the adaptation of pages of events from a novel into a couple-of-hours-long movie is not always justified in terms of inclusion of all the events and characters, picturization of some of the important events and some light moments as well are awe-inspiring. truly! performances, especially of the kids and Amir --the protagonist-- are also praiseworthy.

a couple of heart-wrenching sequences have been shot very well (you know when they will come if you have read the novel), while  few sequences, like when Amir meets with the antagonist to take Hassan's child from him, have been rushed a bit from being realistic. Rahman's characterization could have been better. he doesn't get much scope in the movie although it's an important character in the novel.

all in all, worth a watch.

my verdict:

 * * *  (3 star that is!)
