"Have I taught you nothing?" In the final moments of the film Amir finally mans up enough to confront his father-in-law, the General. That is my favorite scene. The look his wife gives him is beautifully rendered.
A lot of people are not noticing but this is the clear difference between Baba and Amir, Baba stepped down to save a stranger, but Amir didn't even saved his own best friend.
You can't raise a brave and honourable young man without setting an example. Baba was walking to take a bullet, Amir went toe to toe with his old enemy and Taliban commander. While the child Amir may have been a coward, the adult who saved that boy, definitely was someone whom baba would be proud of.
There's no difference... Amir has his own experiences and his own timing. How dare you compare him unfavorably to a man who fostered an illegitimate child and kept it a secret, betraying his manservant?
This scene is my personal favorite of this movie and this shows why Baba is my favorite character in this movie. He is a very honorable man. He was willing to die for strangers so the woman wouldnt get raped by that soldier. I dread how this scene might've gone down had Baba not been here. I honestly respect people like him and wish there were more people like Baba in this world
Yes and this showed what a decent man he was...he was a true man...he must've been seduced by sanaubar...(she was very beautiful anyways) otherwise he would not do such a dirty act of forcing her...and even for that he was ashamed of himself...what a character
@@gaunterodimm8120 Listen here master mirror do you not remember how he left his best friend Alis head down in shame after he had set with his wife and made him take care of the child
This man deserved an Academy Award for his superb portrayal. Baba was wonderful thought the entire first part of the movie. His character was of the best.
What I love about his character is how noble he seems, like a just liege lord. Even in humble circumstances, when is a clerk at a petrol station, he exudes nobility.
The russian soldier head was supposed to say that he was ashamed of his boys' act that during war time it's his duty to make sure that they don't go astray
Nutella Latte Amir up to that point in the book was a piece of shit. No matter how “cute” he may be, what he did up to then, the person he was disgusted me.
@@cezarregala8403 dude he was 13, if you where 13 and you saw someone getting raped what would you do? He was a scared little kid, it’s not really his fault. He just faced the guilt
@@cosmic7639 faced the guilt my ass. He straight up avoided and then framed Hassan for stealing, literally leading to them never seeing each other again.
For me Amir's father is trying to redeem himself by saving that women. Cheating on your spouse or being an extra-marital lover of someone is the worst legal things you can do in life.
@@joncook7510 yep it is. Reread it. Hassan is amir's half brother. They share the same father and amir's dad slept with Hassan's wife around the time amir's mom died. Rlly fucked up ik
@@svmeya7287 oh my God you're right! I must've forgotten that part od the book. I actually dislike Baba's character because of that now. I always thought of him as a tough chaste man but now I see that he wasn't.
Cheating on your spouse is definitely wrong and that person has every right to want a divorce. But the worst thing to do?? No if you want to find out the worst the things one can do, I'd consider those things to be rape, murdering innocent people in cold blood, events like the Crusades, witch trails, Holocaust. Adultery is definitely wrong but it's nowhere even to those other things mentioned above.
I'm glad that soviet soldier never got to have his way with the poor woman. I hope the superiors reason for intervening was they heard everything he said and court martialed him.
He's saying: Begooyash Be Kheyrash khahad bood agar mara dar goloole avval khatm kona. Tell Him It'll be good for him If Me In the first shot(Bullet) He finishes
the extra playing the unnamed father acted excellently in this scene. very raw emotions. but in the book, he is the one holding the baby, not the young wife. thus, it makes better sense for the drug-sadistic Russian soldier to choose the woman coz she's not holding any baby
The soviets beat the living crap out of Afghanistan. I don't condone the violence that the taliban conducts, but man people in the Middle East have really been through a lot.
well, a movie isint like a book, and many things have to be cut and adapted so that it fits the form. And Hosseini himself directed the movie, so all changes made in consideration must have been okayed by him.
Great scene, but it didn’t do the book Justice. For example, after Baba says “war doesn’t negate decency”, he was supposed to say something to the tune of “it demands it, more-so than in times of peace”.
Great scene but Homayoun Ershadi was never convincing to ever pass for an Afghan. His Iranian accent is super thick and would never pass as an Afghan who speaks Dari
Whoever acted as baba did a great great acting....but if any day they feel like making an actu English Version of the movie they must pick Joaquin phoenix as baba...he fits the Physical attributes very well(not saying the one in this film doesn't) jist that i would like to see phoenix if there was an English remake and i believe there will be...one day and i shall be waiting
The filmmakers wanted the dialogue to be in Persian, because that’s what they would’ve spoken were this in real life. The actor who played Baba is Iranian.
It’s often the case. With books your interpretation and imagination set the scenes, colours, smells pictures. With films it’s all done with the makers choice.
Honestly I feel like the director butchered this book like where is the drama and horror that are supposed to there in this scene. Also in other scenes as well all the iconic ones are missing all the emotions
Книга и фильм хороши. Но слишком много русофобии. Автор видимо писал по заказу американцев, очерняя мою Россию. Он забыл, что русских позвали сами афганцы, чтобы помочь афганским коммунистам и втянули нас в вашу войну. Что американцы сделали с Афганистаном? Ограбили, уничтожили массу людей и развели коррупцию. Не было такого, чтобы Советская армия кого то насиловали, за это была очень серьёзное наказание.
