I only remembered Grandma's words

Cough. Regarding politics, freedom and democracy, let’s leave it alone.
Once anything is named politics and power, it is difficult to say clearly.
It’s just that my grandma’s words make me feel very quiet.

She said that in your life, you will encounter many neuroses. If they pity you, you will straighten your spine and fight them back. This is the best way for you to deal with them. There is nothing more terrible than weakness. You have to respect yourself and be consistent.
She said, do you think this reason can make you deny your roots?
She said, of course you have a choice, and everyone has a choice.
She said, don't forget, it is fear that makes us lose confidence, and we must face it bravely. Child, you are a caring person, and I am proud of you.
She said, I thought you would face it bravely no matter what happened. ...Listen to me. I divorced 55 years ago, and I dare say that no one mentioned divorce in that era. I dare say that living alone is far happier than living with a bastard. Let me tell you that the first marriage is the second exercise, and your next marriage will be more complete. You cry because you are frustrated. Young people can make mistakes.

Freedom always comes at a price.
Whether it is physical or spiritual freedom.
I just hope that I can also be a brave, consistent person.

    # ArchivesPhoto# Black and white memories, color reality, it seems that no matter what you have experienced at the beginning, it seems that there is a peaceful place to settle down in the end, it is not the worst ending. In animated films, it belongs to the rare Gothic style, which is both realistic and exaggerated. It depicts a turbulent, backward and ignorant Iran for the audience. Fortunately, my mother, father and grandmother are so lovely and open-minded, but unfortunately the country behind them has already It is not suitable to stay any longer, go ahead, fly to a better world, to a wider sky.

    Black and white, simple and clear lines, can actually outline such a rich plot and such a wonderful narrative language. The large number of lines at the beginning made me a little breathless, and when the film was getting better, I had to be amazed by the simple and complex expressions of the characters and the imaginative lens connection. Cest la vie!

Persepolis quotes

  • Marjane as a teenager: You say that our scarfs and trousers are indecent and that we put on make up, etc. As an art student, I'm often in the studio. I need to move freely in order to draw. A longer scarf will hinder me. As for our trousers, you say they're too wide even though they hide our shape. Since these trousers are in fashion right now, I ask, is religion defending our physical integrity or is it simply opposed to fashion? You criticise us, yet our brothers all have different hair and clothes. Sometimes they wear clothing so tight, we can see their underwear. Why is it that me, as a woman, should their tight clothes have no effect on me, while they should be aroused by a shorter scarf?

  • 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.
