The Kite Runner

Watched this at the Riviera last night, and I was quite impressed. It's not often you see a movie that makes you feel delight, sorrow and fury in any meaningful order. I absolutely loved the setting of this film, the photography, the storyline, and the performance of the actor who played the hero's father. I could have done without the last 15 or so minutes, but it seems most people have a very different notion from me regarding what constitutes a good ending. I would have been perfectly cool had we not come back full circle to the kite running theme, complete with rehashed lines...
