So far, the film is sooo good! The bond at the beginning of the movie makes everyone wish they could have a best friend with the relationship that Amir and Hassan had. I'm pretty sure everyone wants a friend who would do anything and everything for them. They seemed so close that it surprised me when the bully was telling Hassan that Amir only hangs out with him because he's bored, and never when any friends are around. Of course, being a bully he would make someone feel like crap, but...
I can't believe that Amir didn't help Hassan, his best friend who would do anything for him, literally anything, and Amir just stood and turned his back when Hassan needed him the most (even though Hassan didn't know Amir was there). It infuriates me that Hassan went through getting raped by those older dudes, and Amir treats him like crap. He just throws tomatoes or whatever those fruit things were at him, and even goes through the trouble of trying to get his family fired. Amir even calls Hassan a coward, he calls him a coward even though Hassan is the one who always stood up for him when they were confronted by the bullies!
I think though, that Amir was so ashamed of himself for the fact that he couldn't stand up for his best friend. Or maybe, because he overheard the bully saying that he only hangs out with Hassan when no one else is around, he was ashamed of himself for that, because it was partly true?
It sucks though, like eight or ten years pass and it seems as though Amir still doesn't want to hear from Hassan. Did anyone notice that when he was typing and right before his dad came in, you could hear like kids or something as if he was having a flashback? Anyways, I wonder how it will end. My guess: Amir will adopt Hassan's kid and raise him as his own. And finally tell someone about what happened to Amir. Maybe even run into the bully while he's there at Pakistan and give him a good beating or something. haha
I have the names right, right? I didn't confuse the kids names? If I did, please tell me!?!?!?!

So I completely agree with your post about Amir and Hassan's relationship. I also could not believe that Amir just stood there while Hassan was raped by that ugly idiot Assef. And then Amir tried to act like he and Hassan were not best friends, and made it so he and his father left. What a little jerk. It was so stupid when he did that, Hassan was supposed to be his best friend. But Amir totally redeems himself when he finds out that Hassan is dead and then he goes to rescue Hassan's son Sohrab and then out of nowhere Assef comes out and Amir lays the beat down. Yeah he sustained a few injuries, but it was totally awesome when Sohrab pulled out his sling-shot and hit Assef right in the eye. I think that Assef's name suits him well...he is an ass and completely deserved to be hit in the eye!! I was really happy that Amir was able to rescue and adopt Sohrab. By doing this it allowed him to forgive himself for the way that he treated Hassan and betrayed him when they were younger. It makes me happy that Amir's goal with Sohrab was to make sure that he always remembered his father. I love happy endings!!
