      Persepolis--This Is A Unique Animation

      After watching this film, it suddenly reminded me of Wu Junru's "The Golden Rooster" and "Forrest Gump"....It may be a little strange, but aside from the expression and technical aspects, these films are all about small people. Struggling in a specific historical moment, the story of...

      Persepolis--Freedom Is Also A Price

      Such a heavy life, such a strange growth, such a lighthearted and humorous interpretation of comics.

      The beautiful picture, the shock of the soul...I don't know what to say. My eyes are reluctant to leave, but my mind wanders out again and again, thinking a lot, too much...

      Is life really elsewhere?

      Maybe it's because I didn't live in that era and country. I can't understand how Marjane's parents insisted that she leave Iran and go to a country that they thought was better for her, and even hoped that she would not come back when she went. Somewhat disgusted me. I'm someone who has too much attachment to his country, and that feeling grows stronger as I get older and more knowledgeable, I can go out and study for a while, but eventually I'll have to come back here, in a certain In some...

      limited carrying capacity

      This cartoon gives me a stale feeling, not fresh enough to have a brand new style of painting, a good rhythm, and the warmth and affection it shows. After falling out of love, the memory tampered with, and grandma put jasmine in her bra. These are all highlights. It seems to have dropped points. [It doesn't mean that it's not an advantage or a bright spot, it's just a minus point]
             What is the film discussing? It talks a lot. In my opinion, it's mainly about rooting, that is, the...

      I grew up in China

      Marjane, who was born in Tehran in the 1970s, came to Vienna alone when he was in middle school in order to escape the war. Unable to integrate into the local culture and life, homesick, and a lovelorn, disheartened, and then returned to Iran. Restricted by religion, unhappy marriage, her motherland and hometown made her desperate, and finally left for France.

      The individual's nostalgia dilutes the grand historical discourse of the Iran-Iraq war, and infiltrates more delicacy related...

      The style of painting is simple, it is comfortable to watch, the story is very infectious, and some details are very real. Overall, the atmosphere of the whole film is still relatively heavy, generally involving war, and there is no entertainment at all! Seeing the changes of a country through a person's experience, I have to sigh that it is a happy thing to live in a peaceful age! The heroine only wants to live the life of an ordinary girl, and even this has become a luxury! Suddenly thought...

      The satisfaction of the material world still cannot replace the emptiness of the spiritual world. Also, in the eyes of tropical fish, Antarctic penguins are living a harsh life every day, so it thinks that it mercifully brought the penguins to the tropics, but the penguins died....

      A good movie that can understand Iran's current society~ It can be said that the heroine's life in Iran was gloomy~ But when she arrived in France, she started a completely new life~ With black and white colors~ It is even more heavy~ But no matter what, I am How about her country~ She still loves her country deeply~ It is thought-provoking in addition to admiration. ....

    Movie plot

    Through the eyes of Marjane, a 9-year-old girl who is precocious and outspoken, the film reveals that the hopes of the Iranian people were shattered after the fundamentalists took power. Women were forced to wear veils and tens of thousands of people were thrown into prison. The smart and bold Marjane managed to hide from the official minions and got to know the punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden bands. The outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War has...

    Evaluation action

    Although "Persepolis" is a flat composition with simple thick lines, audiences who have watched the film will feel emotional. Animation is only a label for the film's expression. What really touches people's hearts is the sincere content and unique temperament of "Persepolis". Since the construction from the original work to the film's directing and adaptation, it was created by Marjan Shatrapi based on personal experience. The film’s...
