In my opinion “Persepolis” is what an informative movie is supposed to be. It gets the information to the viewer, but it keeps the audience interested by using comic relief. I have never really been interested in politics, global issues, and especially the wars going on in the Middle East. However, “Persepolis” got me interested in how these things really do happen, and how terrible wars like this can be on a country and it’s people.
Marjane Satrapi depicts what life is like in Iran during her life. It shows how her family, friends, and the general pubic react to all the events going on in their lives. The characters are depicted very well in the movie. It shows how much her family really does care about her through all the things that they do. They buy her all the books she could ever want so she can be knowledgeable about the events that are happening in her life. They also eventually send her out of her home country of Iran, because that is the safest thing to do, and the best for Marjane.
Another reason that the movie was good is that is depicted the original “Persepolis” book very well. Not only did it have all the same characters, but they were in the movie exactly the way that I saw them in the book. Usually when I read a book I have an imaginary picture of what the setting is, and what all the characters look like. However, every time I go see the movie I am disappointed because the characters are nothing like I imagined them. That’s what set “Persepolis” apart. The movie had the same comic book characters as the book, but they were animated. So I already had a picture in my head of what was going on.
After reading the book and watching the movie I instantly became a fan of “Persepolis.” I would recommend the movie to anyone, even if they aren’t into comic books. I never really liked comic books, or animated movies, but this one was different. It had just the right mixture of information and comedy to make a very good movie.
