The director has made a film that avoids emotional disconnections. For example, when Baba and Amir left the country and when they arrived at the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, Baba took a sample of the dust. it was on the ground, the reason he did this to remind himself that he would always be a part and son of Afghanistan, no matter what and how. It made me cry because I didn't have the chance to do the same when I lifted up my country (Iraq). Emotions could play a big role in films: “Emotion literally means “disruption.” The word comes from the Latin emovere, meaning “to disturb.” Characters who reside more in the mind and their thoughts than in their bodies and emotions put distance between the story and the audience. Thoughts can lie. Dialogue can also lie. However, emotions are universal, accessible and humanizing. Emotions always tell the truth. This is exactly where the word emotion, nasty and comes from. The director used emotions to feel what it means to live in Afghanistan as a child and as a human being, what it means to feel guilty and what one would do to have another chance to be good.
