第二篇：The Kite Runner影评

The Kite Runner影评

人，一生中用一段时间去犯错，却用另一段时间去救赎。用一段时间去感受爱，再用一段时间去付出爱。就这样在无数交织的矛盾中活着。一切都像是一个轮回，无时无刻旋转着。

今晚，静静地一个人坐在电脑前，开始播放改编自这部小说的同名电影时，我就知道，连日来积蓄的失落情绪和异常脆弱的情感，必定会找到一个宣泄的出口。 友谊、忠诚、背叛与心灵救赎，这些与生俱来的人性特质，只要你愿意为自己对号入座，谁都不能回避这些来自心底的渴望与感动、挣扎与恐惧。

电影里的忠诚带着孩子般特有的纯真，但也深埋了最邪恶的谎言的种子，当我们看到残忍的背叛心中立即充满了怨恨，其实一切都在恪守命运的摆弄，逃不脱良心的驱使。

本身，电影的题材很是沉重——忠诚、欺骗、救赎、战争、宗教、种族、爱情……但故事的结尾，阿米带着哈桑的儿子在草地上放起风筝，在蓝天白云的映衬下，自己儿时伙伴的孩子笑着，跑着，让孩子在战争中心灵的创伤慢慢抚平，这一幕让人最后心情能平静下来。我想作者最爱的还是阿米尔。所以他让他经历了人世变迁，岁月沉浮，让他内心受尽煎熬，又最终得到救赎。就像人们所说的一样，上帝在创造耶路撒冷的时候，把世界上百分之九十的痛苦都给了那个地方，但同时也把百分之九十的幸福给了它。因为上帝偏心地宠爱它，就给了它爱恨强烈的绚烂的生命。

三个男人，在各自不同的道路上都成功扮演了自己的角色，虽然这中间经历了艰辛万苦，但对于我们来说，这是一种激励，是一种指引，是一种让我们也能向着自己人生道路上如何扮演一个成功的角色而指明方向。

至于那只风筝究竟意味着什么，我想必定因人而异。无论是爱情，友情，亲情，善良，宽恕或是其他，都是追风筝的人心中最深切的渴望，而我们，只有一追再追。
