In my English class last year, the teacher taught this book. The heroine is really distressing, especially seeing her leave the house where her parents watched her go through customs through the glass at the airport. When she finally turned around, her mother fainted. The father hugged the mother, unable to bear to look at his daughter again. The heroine's original family is really good, enlightened parents, and a good family background... This life should have been very wonderful and smooth. until the day the war broke out. The heroine left Iran and went to Austria (it should be Austria, I don't remember). The parents comforted their daughter, saying that they would definitely accompany her soon, but the heroine understood that this was unrealistic. After she went to Europe, she lived under the shelter of others and was bullied by her landlord. She also felt embarrassed about her identity as an Iranian because of environmental reasons. After that, she went to France, where, for the first time, in the cold wind, she slept on a bench on the street; for the first time, she fell in love with a boy and was cheated on; the heroine slowly became taciturn. When the heroine got married, her mother said to her: "I asked you to receive advanced education, not to let you get married and have children so early." I still remember the heroine crying, "I want to go back to Iran." "Then come back. Right." Mother replied. Later, the political situation continued to be turbulent, and the heroine returned to France and engaged in the comics industry. Really distressed, the underage girl, dragging her suitcase by herself, kept tossing around in different countries. She was by her parents' side since she was a child, she was spoiled by her parents, she lived in a high-level intellectual family in Iran since she was a child, and she was also a high-income family. In the past ten years, she has never suffered such grievances. If not for the war.

    When I watched this movie, I had just finished a one and a half month trip in Iran. Besides visiting Persian monuments and mosques, I had also personally experienced Iran’s anti-government demonstrations, police enforcement, national disconnection, and many lively young people. Conservative middle-aged people have talked, and in my impression, this country that was originally only in the news has become very three-dimensional. When watching this film, Marji and her family gave me the greatest feeling of reality. This is not Iran in the eyes of Westerners. They reminded me of countless Iranians who have communicated sincerely along the way. I don’t like to say that this movie is a ridicule of "I grew up in China". Of course, there are many scenes reminiscent of our modern history, but simple classification without thinking is just a kind of arrogance, appealing to emotional cynicalism Irresponsible. Iran has its own independent and special development process. There is turbulent confusion about where to go, fierce class conflicts and even more surging religious conflicts, too long periods of labor, and obviously unstable status quo. If you focus on such a country, you should really understand it more sincerely and humbly.

Persepolis quotes

  • Marjane's grandmother: So you're French, now?

    Marjane as a teenager: Nana, stop it.

    Marjane's grandmother: No no, I'm just asking, is all. I didn't know you were French.

    Marjane as a teenager: Do you think it's easy being Iranian here? The moment I say where I'm from, they look at me like I'm a savage. They think we're all bloodthirsty, violent, loud fanatics.

    Marjane's grandmother: Do you think that's any reason to deny your roots? Do you remember what I told you? Be true to yourself.

  • Marjane as a teenager: Shut up you bitches! YES I'M IRANIAN AND I'M PROUD OF IT!
