The director made a film that eludes emotional disconnects, for example, when Baba and Amir left the country and when they arrived at the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan, Baba took a sample of the dust he was in the field, the reason he did it so he could remember that he would always be a part and son of Afghanistan, no matter what or how. This alone in itself made me cry because I didn't have the chance to do the same when I lifted up my country (Iraq). Emotions could play an important role in films: “Emotion literally means “disturbance”. The word comes from the Latin emovere, meaning "to disturb." Characters who reside more in the mind and thoughts than in the body and emotions put distance between the story and the audience. Thoughts can lie. Even dialogue can lie. However, emotions are universal, recognizable and humanizing. Emotions always tell the truth." This is exactly where the word emotion, meaning, comes from. The director used emotions to experience what it's like to live in Afghanistan as a child and a human being, what it's like to feel guilty, and what you would do to have another chance to be good
