Persepolis

This is a late post I was supposed to do last week before I researched the movie for my paper. So here are my initial thoughts: Honestly, this movie didn't look interesting to me at all. Like, at all. I'm not into cartoons or even history for that matter. And after we finished watching it, I had no clue what to even think about the movie. All I knew was there was Marjane and her family and she wore punk clothes. That's about all I understood. Why everyone was so scared and everyone was dying was beyond me. I can only guess that the government wasn't what everyone thought it would be and everyone is freaking out about the economy. I say that because of those two women fighting in the grocery store over some food. I don't really know. But I think the director did a good job with the different moods played in the movie. I feel like I could really feel the emotions going on in the movie. Whether or not I understood it was irrelevant I suppose because I could connect with the characters in time where they felt scared or upset. I'm not too sure what was going on, but I think it was kind of interesting.
