the Kite Runner

<< < (2/2)

Oz girl:
It would be rare that I would say this but they should have used american kids. It is easy to say that art is art but those 2 boys have to live within that culture after the cameras stop rolling. Their needs should be paramount.

BuzzKill:
I did recently read that they are moving the families. I can't recall where to, except that it wasn't to the USA but a different country in the region. I guess maybe they felt it was best to get them out of the neighborhood - but not completely out of the culture. I hope the boys and their families got to say where they wanted to go - and I hope they are given every assistance in getting set up in their new home.

Having looked at some clips of this film, I suspect they needed Afgan boys to keep with the authentic feel they were striving for. The language use and so on.

On a related note: I am sure you have been following the case of the Sudie raped woman, sentenced to jail and 200 lashes who recently had the King commute her sentence. Did you know the man she was with was also raped - and received the same sentence - and he has not had his sentence commuted. You don't hear about that.
