    Character Evaluation

    In the film "Poulet aux prunes" directed by Marjane Satrapi, there is a unique and novel approach and story content, poetic and imaginative. Moreover, the aesthetic style of the original comics is maintained. At the same time, the richness of imagination is amazing, the black humor and countless cleverly conceived scene narratives also bring a lot of fun to the audience   .

    In the film "Persepolis", director Marjane Satrapi from a purely civilian perspective, the narrative theme is not limited to the trauma caused by the persecution and attack on a group of people at the time of the Islamic dictatorship, but with the unique sensitivity and delicacy of women.

Although the director Marjane Satrapi is directing a feature film for the first time, due to her status as a cartoonist, an animated film in the form of animation does not see the technical jerky at all. The segmentation technology of comics is similar to the segmentation of the film, so the technical performance is She is quite handy, the exaggerated sense of picture and the sad state of mind make the film erase the inherent heaviness of similar themes, and reveal the heavy sadness without losing the humorous narrative method .

      The archive was re-watched on the big screen on August 1st, 2014. The characteristics of its memory became more obvious. Compared with the recounting of the domestic revolution and repression in Iran, the passages that encountered cultural conflicts and teenage adolescence in Vienna are better shot. Grandma is really impressive.
