"Persepolis" movie

This weekend, I saw the "Persepolis" movie. I did not go and see it at the Kenworthy, because I watched it on the website where you can download and watch movies for free. I know this is bad, but I love being able to watch whatever movie I want to for free.

Anyways, there were a couple of things about the movie that suprised me. One thing that I liked about the movie is that it showed Marjane's life in France. I really enjoyed that part, because it was interesting to see how Marjane's life changed once she left her oppressive life in Iran. I feel as if the book ends a little abruptly, and doesn't really provide much closure. I really enjoyed seeing the "awakening" of Marjane, because it was nice to see how her character grew and changed. I liked the book, but one thing I didn't like was that I felt that the book was more focused on Marjane's family's struggle and the opressive government rather than Marjane herself, which is something that I felt was different in the movie.

Another thing that I really liked in the movie was the narration. I know it sounds silly, but I liked the deep French voice of the narrator. I thought it was a treat to listen to. Also, I really liked the animation in this film. I loved the simple black and white pictures in the graphic novel, and I appreciate how these pictures were reproduced for the film, rather than changed or morphed into a more artistic or commercial rendition.

Overall, I really enjoyed this film. I thought that the filmmaker's did a really great job of interpretting this novel. I thought they did a good job of bringing the story and the mood and the illustrations to the screen. I really enjoyed the novel, and I think I enjoyed the film even more.
