I grew up in Shanghai

When I first started watching Persepolis, I was not used to it, but the more I watched it, the better I felt. The black and white colors were simple and clear. Because I didn't know much about the government and political parties in Iran at that time, I used to have more misunderstandings about Iran. . .

It turns out that Iranian girls also pursue equality between men and women. It turns out that Iranian women also want to take off their robes, but they are limited to religious beliefs and restrictions. I don’t know how Iran is today. Fortunately, I grew up in Shanghai and

watched movies in this era. The "police" in Iran restricts everything, and it doesn't make me think of the red guards in "Brothers" who have no ability to judge. They are blind, have no humanity, and have no ability to judge. . .

I still grew up in Shanghai. . .

Persepolis quotes

  • Marjane as a teenager: Promise you won't ask me any questions.

  • Marjane's grandmother: [watering flowers] Ha. Serves them right. Why you practically snipped off their little thingies. Will you please take off that god-awful veil? It makes me claustrophobic.

    Marjane as a teenager: [takes off her veil] I'm so used to it, I forget I'm wearing it.
