Kite Surfer and Tropical Storms Don?t Really Mix
2008-08-21 00:49:00
Here is a prime example of what i’m talking about… The video clip is a CBS4 news crew in Fort Lauderdale beach when a gust of wind from Tropical Storm Fay blew along the shoreline and took the kite surfer by surprise. The kite surfer was securely harnessed into his sail when the wind swept him ...
Rumi poem in The Kite Runner movie
2008-07-08 16:07:00
i just watched the movie Kite Runner, and its a 2007 Academy Award-nominated film directed by Marc Forster based on the novel of the same name by Khaled Hosseini. if you still haven't watched it, you must. its a movie that simply touches the heart.once you watch the movie, there are two lines of the movie that remains in the mind:"there is a way to be good again.""for you, a thousand times over."i loved the poem of Mevlana Rumi recited by the main character, Amir when he was a boy, fleeing to Pakistan as refugee from homeland during Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.Here is the poem (from Mathnawi 1 , 1510 - 1513):Who are we in this complicated world?if we come to sleepwe are His drowsy ones.and if we come to wakewe are in His hands.if we come to weeping,we are His cloud full of raindrops.and if we come to laughing,we are His lightning in that moment.if we come to anger and battle,it is the reflection of His wrath.and if we come to peace and pardon,it is the reflection of His love.Who...

Il cacciatore di aquiloni (The kite runner) [Soundtrack]
2008-04-14 19:43:00
Quella che vi presento è la colonna sonora del film "Il cacciatore di aquiloni" (titolo originale: "The kite runner"), tratto dall'omonimo libro di Khaled Hosseini. In questi 21 brani il compositore spagnolo Alberto Iglesias, già nominato all'Oscar per la colonna sonora di "The Constant Gardener", ripercorre gli umori e le atmosfere del film, riportando alla mente i vari sentimenti che in esso si vivono. Come lo stesso Iglesias ha affermato, la musica da lui composta non è pura musica afgana, ma una commistione di influenze e generi musicali appartenenti a luoghi più o meno vicini all'Afghanistan (Paese in cui il film è ambientato). Infatti, sono sì presenti ritmi afgani, ma a questi si uniscono sonorità persiane e pachistane. E gli strumenti utilizzati sono sia quelli tradizionali del Medio Oriente e dell'Asia centrale, che quelli a noi più familiari come viole, violini, violoncelli ecc. E' evidente il lavoro di ricerca svolto da Iglesias per costruire i vari brani, e si appre...

2008-03-17 10:40:00
After Jodhaa Akbar, Hrithik Roshan will be seen in his home production Kite directed by Anurag Basu.The leading ladies of Hrithik in the film are Latin model Barbara Mori and Metro girl Kangana Ranaut. We have learnt that the film will have some bold scenes between Hrithik and Barbara.Says Anurag, ?It’s a different movie and a bold one which will be entirely shot in New Mexico, Las Vegas and LA. The film is romantic and Hrithik’s character is completely different from what he has played in the past. He is more flamboyant and will be romancing both the Latin actress and Kangana. His character is like a kite which wanders here and there but always flies high.?On working with Hrithik, he says, ?I’m very excited but at the same time very nervous. I have seen Jodhaa Akbar and he is very professional actor but at the same time very dedicated. Rakesh Roshan has seen Life in A Metro and was very impressed with my direction and that’s how I got a chance to direct Hrit...

The Kite Runner: DVD Review
2008-03-02 23:21:00
This was about my only chance to see this movie, as it opened and shut – if indeed it ever showed in my home town – with the alacrity of a clam between high and low tide. Nothing could be more out of the mainstream than a subtitled movie, starring unknown and/or foreign actors, in the harsh high country of Afghanistan during the relatively idyllic period before the Soviet invasion, and under the joyless and hypocritical rule of the Taliban, who turned the place into sort of religious concentration camp, full of rules against practically every normal human recreation or amusement and enforced them with murderous severity. But it is a lovely and rewarding reaffirmation about friendship, family and finding the courage to do the right thing. It begins with images of kites, dancing in a clear blue sky – an image that is repeated over and over, as the story runs from the near present of a talented young writer, a member of the Afghan Diaspora. Amir is happily married, has just rece...

Movie Review: The Kite Runner- The ultimate guy movie
2008-02-08 00:22:00
The Kite Runner seems to have come and gone without making much of an impact. I don't remember seeing it advertised in a theater. I never heard co-workers discuss the movie or people buzz over it on television or radio. The academy didn't nominate The Kite Runner for an Oscar. Odd, because Kite Runner is one of the best movies from 2007 and the kind of film that sophisticated movie goers fawn over. Kite Runner tells a simple yet powerful, beautiful, and sometimes disgusting story: In pre-Soviet-invasion Afghanistan, Amir (Zekeria Ebrahimi and then Khalid Abdalla) lives with his upper middle class, Mustang-driving (a sweet 69), moderate father Baba (Homayoun Ershadi); his servant; and his servant's son Hassan (Ahmad Khan Mahmidzada) who also happens to be Amir's best friend. Amir and Hassan pass the time engaging the neighborhood children in kite combat. As you can imagine from the trailer, the kite scenes are the most spectacular in the movie. The kite fighting isn't just a ...

The Kite Runner
2008-02-05 07:59:00
Why does this film not have showings in all major cinemas in England? We had to travel to see it but it was worth the effort. We had read the book and been to Kabul. The film is a lot more faithful to the book than most films are to history. It is of necessity condensed but no major incidents are omitted except the post traumatic suffering of the orphan. China looks like the real place. Hassan is most delightfully portrayed. I do not think the sense of Amir's remorse is as well communicated in the film . The violence is done with sensitivity so the rating is kept to 12PG. The Taliban brutality is understated, with only one half time stoning for adultery at the football stadium.

World’s first kite-pulled ship on Germany to Venezuela trip
2008-01-25 12:48:00
The world’s first kite-pulled commercial cargo ship has begun a journey from Germany to Venezuela.   The MS Beluga Skysails, which has been designed with the objective of reducing fuel consumption by as much as 20 per cent, set sail on Tuesday.   Its designers hope that the state-of-the-art kite would help reduce carbon dioxide emissions, for fuel burnt by ships accounts for four per cent of global, which is twice as much as the aviation industry produces.   The 160 square metre kite flies more than 600ft above the vessel, and is controlled by a computer.   "The maiden voyage marks the beginning of the practical testing during regular shipping operations of the SkySails System," the BBc quoted Stephan Wrage, managing director of SkySails GmbH, as saying.   "During the next few months we will finally be able to prove that our technology works in practice and significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions," he said on the co...

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
2008-01-21 10:52:00
This is a book that will live for ever. In it Khaled Hosseini has accomplished what many writers, most unsuccessfully, try to achieve. It’s the big stories, those turning points in history, which often attract us. They automatically have something to say, we might believe, something that needs to be aired, perhaps explained. So wars, revolutions, social upheavals, periods of turmoil, internecine struggles, ideological conflicts, all of these are the natural territory for the story teller. They are the backdrop that adds potentially unlimited drama, the context that can involve, inform and enlighten.But often writers are not up to the task. The attraction of that big issue is greater than the powers of judgment needed to create the right balance when the smallness of the story’s detail is pitched against the vast potential dominance of its setting. The balance, therefore, is often a fine one and, because of the power of the setting, the story is often belittled or, more usually,...
