"I grew up in Iran" is a story of small people in the big era. Young Marjane has heard and witnessed and even experienced many things-the pursuit of democracy, the revolutionary movement against the emperor's tyranny was bloody suppressed; he believed in communism His uncle fled back to China after exile, and was finally arrested and executed; the Iran-Iraq war has devastated the country. Finally, Iran’s fundamentalist forces are on the rise, the status of women has declined greatly, and the social environment has become increasingly conservative and suppressed...
The big era reflected in "I Grew Up in Iran" seems to be not only the internal situation of Iran, but the past. The turning point of the ten years-the fathers pursued the beautiful ideals of Marxism-Leninism, or the pursuit of a free and democratic equal world, but after the suppression, all thoughts fell down, while the young people believed in anarchism or nihilism, with anguish. The psychology is withdrawn from reality. A generation has the beliefs and worldviews of a generation, but in the heart of the little girl Marjane, all kinds of thoughts cannot satisfy her. Times are different, and beliefs are thrown away. As she said, we crave happiness, but we only feel less freedom.
Marjane's father said that nationalism and religious ideas are the most inspiring, and it is not unreasonable to put them in the world. In Hong Kong, it is a change of name, no change of soup or medicine. Consumerism and free economy are like fetishism and are believed by people. . In a consumerist society, direct physical sensations and the supremacy of pleasure are never satisfied. The pleasure and sense of loss of the enjoyment subject revolve and disappear. Individual freedom is heavily restricted by the physical body, and the spiritual dependence is lost and blank. It is the modern people. Mostly tortured by depression.
Marjane, the little character in "I Grew Up in Iran", of course has his own rules of survival, either seeking the comfort of love, or returning to the embrace of his parents, or settling down in marriage, or in the process of learning from books. Enrich themselves. Marjane went through them one by one, but most of them returned disappointed. In the end, she went abroad again and immigrated to France.
At present, fundamentalism/fundamentalism in the world is on the rise, preaching simplistic and flat religious and ethical rules, and consumerism and free economy have further promoted irrational and excessive trading transactions. Marjane Satrapi remembers his ancestors at the end of the film, and recalls his life through artistic creativity, showing the alternative thinking in the big era. Undoubtedly, tradition brings wisdom of life, and experience brings creative energy. The moving part of "I Grow Up in Iran" lies in the chemistry of traditional vision and personal experience, and of course the sincere statement and the neutralization of the sense of humor.
