Half Book Prince

Just watched this movie, (made out of a book), "The Kite Runner". Can't help grumbling what a shoddy work the movie is, not even an inch close to one of the most emotional stories I have read so far. There is this particular wedding scene, which is one of my favourite in the book, where in, the main character Aamir, is getting betrothed to Suraiya and, according to Afghan tradition, they look at each other's image in a mirror. Suraiya asks her husband, 'what do you see?', to which Aamir replies, 'The rest of my life'. In the movie, this scene was so tasteless.I wish someone, one day, will bring this beautiful sequence alive on the screen. May be, Divyanshu can give it a try. Ditto with Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. They made it a half book prince. Dumbeldore's death is so easy in the movie. But as it is everytime, I loved Emma Watson..
