I don’t know if it’s because speaking French has turned into a movie and cut a lot of plots from the original comics.
And the life in Iran and the inner anxiety of the protagonist as an Iranian in the story are not consistent in this kind of exotic literature.
Nothing special, just telling the "truth" that the outside world has always thought and would like to see and believe, closed, no freedom, and unequal separation of men and women.
I feel that this protagonist is really unflattering.
Selfish, self-righteous, full of freedom and democracy, fled abroad, ran home in case of trouble, relying on a rich and well-connected father.
She doesn’t have a defensible friend, she is not close to everyone (because she is an Iranian), and it seems to be bad for everyone,
indeed, for Europeans she is Iranian, for Iranians she is It's a foreigner.
But this kind of popularity. . . You have to find the reason from your own character. . .
For her, emotional failure is the biggest failure in life. ...However the heroine's tragedy theme is like this.

After reading it, everyone in the office just wanted to know what job her father did and who he was (her grandfather was a prince).

It's too French to be sad enough to be sad, and warmth isn't enough to warm people's hearts. . .

    Simple and simple animation style is very flattering. It is a memoir of a rebellious Iranian young woman who loves Western music, and it is also a foreigner's example of the contemporary history of Iran, a mysterious, authoritarian and closed country. The heroine is lucky, she can go abroad and live in a free country. What about other Iranian women? Repressed and authoritarian at home, living abroad is also unsatisfactory. this is life. Grandma's character is very magical and philosophical. //20180816 China Film Archive Screening. Film version. After five years, I will still be moved by the plot of suffering and separation, but after watching animations such as "Tehran Taboo" and "The Breadwinner", I can't help but feel that the Iranian part of the film is too weak, and the later stage is more rambling. If you can go abroad to live abroad, the heroine is really much happier than most Iranian women. Compared with the expression of intellectuals' disappointment with the Iranian revolution, it seems to be a kind of propaganda that "you will know the goodness of the motherland when you go abroad".
