Kite Runner is being made into a film; however, the film has run into delays. Read the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/04/movies/04kite.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
What do you think about this? What else does this teach us about culture?

I think it teaches up that they are a proud race and don't want their country to be looked upon like everyone rapes little boys, and they are all mean to people different than them and such. The part of the country that can't read don't know the book, so I don't think they would like the movie at all. I haven't decided if I'd like it as a movie or not.
I agree with Nicole....They are very proud people and they don't want to be looked down apon. It's one thing to write a book about it....not everyone can even read there....but when a movie is made it is open to almost everyone.
I agree with Nicole that they everyone does not want to be portrayed as a horrible country because of the rape of little boys and their attitudes toward people other than them because, its not everyone its just the few. They don't want the movie to make them seem bad. I do think that the movie would be a good thing to have despite the rape scene for people who can't read or don't understand what's going on in the book.
I think this is a great way to show people what Afghanistan is really like. Honestly, I did not know anything about the place before this book. I heard a lot about it through the news a few years ago but I thought it was just a big desert land full of bombs and taliban. If people see this, they can see the life there and that there are people with lives who live there.
I think that reading the article was a great way to read about exactly how the public over there reactcs to those kind of degrading secenes but its kind of interesting how no one can seem to tell the same story per say of who knew what info when. Who is lying? No one knows and no one knows who they can trust.
Its also interesting to see how protective parents are of their children becuase it's so differnt of what was being said in the book and from what you would other wise think from what you hear in the news. It gives Afghanistan a more human feel to it.
I think it a bad thing because we can leran so much that it will hurt us in the guts.
I also agree that they are proud of their country and they do not want their image to be tarnish because of a movie. I think that movie will open up the eyes of the people around them though. This movie will help others understand the life of an afghan. This may cause other countries to help afghan, like giving them money or food.
I think that no one should do that. The kids are really young and may not know exactly what went on or even read the book. But their lives could be indager, see the thing is we as Americans have to remember that over their, is way different than here, and different laws and rules as well. I also agree with takeing the boy out to keep him from being humiliated because of his ethnic, group are really proud of their race.

I understand that they are proud of thier country and dont want to be looked down upon but i think it would be a really interesting movie if they filmed it corectly and made the right points.

I understand where they are coming from about not wanting the movie to give a bad impression on their culture or country, but I think it would help others realize more of what Afghanistan is really like and would sort of give a voice to the Hazaras who have been oppressed in their country for many years.
