I think I can't wait to see the film version. (Sometimes movies cange my initial perceptions and not always for the better.) The story is a wonderful glimpse at humanity at it's best and worst.One Wink at a Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00376243777796535015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-68166067435393947592008-01-09T16:38:00.000-07:002008-01-09T16:38:00.000-07:00I did not read the book, although my wife did and still wants me to.<BR/><BR/>We saw the movie together, and yes, I even cried at the end. Of course I covered it up with a manly grunt and wiping of my eyes like my glasses were bothering me...but what was the point?<BR/><BR/>It was a very good film.Matt Singleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827624245751434450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-61351930481040981702008-01-09T16:35:00.000-07:002008-01-09T16:35:00.000-07:00I intend to see the movie and read the book. I usually like to read the book first, like I did with another Afghanistan themed story, Charlie Wilson's War, but I may not have time to do that to see this movie in the theater. Having both seen and read, how do you think that will affect my experience?lifeofandohttp://lifeofando.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-13175177515820170912008-01-09T08:01:00.000-07:002008-01-09T08:01:00.000-07:00Anthony was supposed to tell you that all of the scenes that took place in Afghanistan were filmed right where I spent my summer in China. It was weird because the market scenes seemed really familiar and then we saw at the end the it was filmed there. How crazy is that? Just thought you would be interested to know.AKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02280727900552306005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-73505565180007785312008-01-09T06:31:00.000-07:002008-01-09T06:31:00.000-07:00Our theater was packed. Every seat was taken. I'd say the retirement crowd made up about 85% of the audience. But it was a matinee on a Friday.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I wasn't embarassed to cry. Especially at the end.
