Persepolis (2008)

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The following story is my imagined encounter I had a dream that would be feasible for a Stalinist version of Persepolis, since the only people who would be biking, skating, or inline skate street sport partakers in California would be a young person who is probably educated with a Common Core that is close to French abstract studies. It is highly possible as a eclipsed review since the only person that would be forgiven passively for their imagining that Persepolis or the war in Tehran, Iran in the years depicted in the war movie would have top be someone who feels their life is in a war to stay in a dreamily state they perceive as real, so in that state, they could even imagine that the war was made up and that they are a person who was drafted into some sort of war just in order to realize they were the female narrator in the story who merely yearned to receive their university education: I was in a pit bull-riven area of San Leandro, CA and I got so afraid I would be mulled by one but it turns out that there was one fence that looked closed but it was open and two large borzoi dogs who look very smart, private and caring after each other, and were deep black/brown redhead dog couple they used their nose to pry the open fence a bit more open but then the one closest to the outside of the fence used it's nose to hold the fence a hinge close except for a ruler length and it didn't attack me, or the couple borzoi did not because they saw I was a woman who was skateboarding and who had stopped and I didn't go forward so I am holding at my mercy a few skateboarders and inline skaters in my neighborhood since I won't go back to where the dogs are and on top of that, they may just be stupid youth who will be mauled by the dog(s) in that area instead, and so because the universe knows that, the spirits in them that are good and want to be a body that will survive because they know they will be at a higher chance of getting killed by their body master's depression after they get pulled apart by the dogs for not being me... so I'm trying to see if I can suck the spirits out of them have a better body or master or whatever u call it.Sun 8:31pm I lied I made that up because I had a nightmare that Tehran of Persepolis in the Iranian war was a made up event called Stalinism since it could be that a person could have just made up Tehran of that year that they as a man got drafted and the main character in Persepolis got to study in France! Since it would make since that if a person who is in a neighborhood with dogs, at the beginning of Persepolis they release dogs to run after the dude and so he gets attacked but in my lie I just told you I am a ghost that always haunts and taunts the person who is imagining a made up Tehran of Iran in the war years, since only a person who is unconscious is not guilty of thinking that their reality is made up to any extent or brink that would somehow manufacture to their brain that they are still in the real world and their fantasy a real reality they live in real life and the person who saw the two borzoi and was spared, well they keep taunting this poor person hooked up to a ventilator since, if it was just one memory of their being mauled apart by pit bulls then, technically that vision of the smart borzoi would be their saving grace in an alternate universe where they were not mauled and left in a coma for the rest of their life.

Poignant coming-of-age story of a precocious and outspoken young Iranian girl that begins during the Islamic Revolution.The graphic novel "Persepolis" was very widely read. In fact, a number of college courses required it. It is an excellent look at the difference between what people think of Iran and what being from Iran actually means for those who lived through the last generation.The film adds so much more with the music, the inflection, and just really getting a human quality that cannot be expressed fully on paper. The animation stays true to the original art, really bringing out its strengths. It made me wan to read the book again and learn more about the author's royal lineage!

Marjane Statrapi struggles with her identity as she recalls her childhood in revolutionary Iran. Starting from 1978 in Tehran, her family is middle class. Even though they live a comfortable modern life, they also suffer under the dictatorial rule of the Shah. Her family rejoice at his overthrow at first. However, Islamic fundamentalists turn the new regime into a repressive tyranny. After suffering years of war and deprivation, her parents sent her away to study in Vienna. Life abroad isn't easy either, and she had difficulties fitting in. When she returns to Iran, she is completely lost. Just as things improve personally and the war ends, the repression gets worst.It's an animated movie based on Marjane Statrapi's personal comic novel. The use of simple animation brings her childhood observations to life. However it doesn't do the same thing when she's more grown up. The second half of the movie isn't quite as fascinating. The animation style doesn't do her adult years with enough justice. Complex ideas and emotions seem to be simplified by the block style drawings.

My opinion on Persepolis is negative as I was not very interested in the film when I was watching it, to be honest I thought the film was boring as I don't like cartoon films and it was unreal as when she had the growing spurt I thought it was just weird. I couldn't follow the film and I didn't get it. But overall I wouldn't watch this film again because it's not my type as I like action films and adventure films .But I recommend this film to people that like mysterious films and films in black and white as this film would be for them REAPEAT 12.
