I enjoyed Kiterunner. I had heard of the book before but I did not know there was a movie. The movie is filled with Middle Eastern theme music to match the cultural ties, time and place. The music contains authentic Middle Eastern instruments and vocals. I enjoyed these original sounding instruments and vocals and I wondered what instruments were used. The music connects to the setting of markets, the dress and scenery in the film. This music somewhat reminds me of Slumdog Millionaire, with the authentic music matching the time and place. The music is primarily underscore with some diagetic in a movie they watch. The music somewhat moves with the kites and an energetic, moving sound. The music also climbs with the excitement of the boys and the crowds and the mystery of who will win the kite race.
There is a fairly good amount of music as transitions, in exciting and emotional times, when there is no speaking and when the people are moving.
