Song Choice #1
My Wish
By: Rascal Flatts
I chose to incorporate My Wish into my film not so much for the melody, but mostly for the lyrics. I believe this song's message can compare and relate to the story. My Wish is a song about someone wanting what is best for the other person. They hope that they can learn from their mistakes, live life to the fullest, and give back. In the story, Amir wishes the best for Soharb and wants him to live a full happy life in America. The song Rascal Flatt's lyrics in My Wish can relate well to The Kite Runner.
Song Choice #2
It's Only Life
By: Kate Voegele
I selected It's Only Life By: Kate Voegele because the lyrics talk about how when you are feeling defeated in life all you need is a little encouragement to get you back up on your feet. This song could be inserted into the film when Soharb is feeling defeated and tries to end his life with a razor in the bathtub. The softness in the melody would also add affect into the scene. I believe that It's Only Life fits perfectly into the film.
Song Choice #3
My Destiny
By: Katherine McPhee
I decided to pick My Destiny By: Katherine McPhee as a song for the film The Kite Runner. The piano melody brings mood into the scene and the lyrics relate to the story in the film. McPhee sings about how her dad helped her break free in life and got her to her dreams and where she is now. This song could be inserted in the film at the end when Soharb realizes everything Amir has given up for him and how much better off his life is now. The song My Destiny has the melody and lyrics to go with the film The Kite Runner.
Kite
Being the champion of the Kite Running Tournament was Amir's way of gaining affection from his father. While Hassan was retrieving the winning kite he was harrased and beatup because of his race. Behind the corner Amir watched. A friend was betrayed, and a friendship was over.
Pomegranate Tree
As young kids Amir and Hassan would race up the hill and climb into the pomegranate tree. There they would read stories and laugh for hours and hours.
Brown Leather Notebook
The notebook was given as a gift to Amir on his 15th birthday from Rahim Khan (Baba's best friend). Amir writes and writes in it. Later in life, he persues his dream and publishes four novels.
The Tan Van
It was what Amir and Baba would jump into every Saturday morning and go bargin hunting in. They would find the best deals and then go to the market to try and make a profit off the junk. The van was where Baba and Amir had some of their best conversations. It brought their relationship closer than ever.
Silver Watch
On his way to Kabul, Amir and Farid stopped at Farid's brothers house. While eating soup Amir noticed the skinny children staring at his watch while he ate. As a gift of his kindness he gave the watch to the kids. The children were content with it for a few minutes and then left it in the dirt. Amir later realized it wasn't the watch the kids were starring at, but the food he was eating.
