Pure art and an emotional Journey

Posted : 1 year, 2 months ago at Sep 1 5:14
''In this life you'll meet a lot of jerks. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it's their own stupidity that makes them act that way. That will keep you from responding to their meanness. There's nothing worse in this world than bitterness and revenge. Hold your head up and stay true to yourself.'' Poignant coming-of-age story of a precocious and outspoken young Iranian girl that begins during the Islamic Revolution. Chiara Mastroianni: Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi, as a teenager and a woman (voice) Gabrielle Lopes: Marjane as a child (voice) Persepolis is not only just an animated film or indeed a comic but one that captures one girl growing up. In the same vein as Grave of the Fireflies this film is not for children like it's cartoony looks would suggest. What we get fr...Read more

A Life in Animation

Posted : 1 year, 8 months ago at Feb 25 7:27
Persepolis is the story of a young, spunky girl who grows up in Teheran during the turbulence of the last 30 years. It was originally a graphic novel, and has been turned into a stylistic animated movie. The graphics are lovely, and the characters very likable. I'm hoping that when it goes into wide release they'll actually dub it into English. I usually abhor dubbing, but animation should make it easy, and reading subtitles makes it hard to enjoy the artistry of the movie. And as the movie mainly takes place in Iran, but everyone speaks French, it's not exactly true to history anyway. As a true story, it sometimes lags, and the ending is a bit flat. But then that's how life actually goes, you don't have true endings, just segues into other parts of your life.
