Persepolis (after I researched it)
I'm not a history person so doing research on the film was really difficult and boring to me. Go figure! But, I found a lot of interesting information about the Islamic Revolution and the time period. Now, I'm not going to go on to explain what I found since I still don't like history, but it made the film more intersting to me and made me want to watch the rest of the movie. But, the internet wasn't working when I wanted to watch it so I didn't really get too far past where we stopped in class. But from what I did see, it's actually an interesting movie. And with the way Marjane set the tones and moods in the film were without a doubt amazing. In my opinion, the audience could really connect with the emotions in the film. And in the beginning, when she puts the veil on, it really set up the rest of the movie and was a good way (in my opinion) to introduce a flashback. I don't know, I'm not into history or cartoons or anything like that, but I think the movie is actually interesting and is quite informative.

I think it was very interesting. The way it was made really did allow the audience to connect. Not many people know a lot about the situation in Iraq, and I think this movie was really made to make people aware. It did a good job of showing people the way things changed by showing the before and after and really contrasting the two cultures. It was good to see how other cultures have changed and how life is in another nation. I think a lot of people might understand more how things are over there if they watched it and that it would do people a lot of good. If nothing else, it would at least open up their eyes to the state of other countries. Especially with the war going on, I think a lot of people don’t quite understand what it is like for the civilians and this movie might help them.
