The retard that changed Assef from the blonde Nazi rapist ruins the film


Removing this key, hypocritical character from the novel completely ruins the whole persona behind Assef. Good job Hollywood retards.

I never read the book, but rapists come in all ethnicities so I think that's all they were going for. Also, I would think a blonde kid in Afghanistan would have needed some explanation in the movie, and it was already quite long as is.

Maybe they could have said a line or give out hints like a present he gave to Amir on his birthday which was a biography of Hitler

Not true actually. It's not that uncommon for an Afghan to have natural blonde hair.

I agree with OP, they should have done the casting correctly.
