The story is far away from us, but it still hits the heart, not for the distant war, but for the hometown we can't go back to - "Where are you from?" - "Iran".
About the
president of the country: What's yours is mine, what's mine is still mine. Such a country is autocratic and totalitarian. The people of the country are also doomed to live in dire straits. They have no freedom of speech, no freedom of dress, no freedom of entertainment, or even freedom of thought. Its existence is also driven by certain external factors - Western capitalist countries, they want Iranian oil, and sell weapons to Iran's warring parties. Of course, its existence will not last long. It's just that the price the people paid for freedom was too great for them to bear. And in the movie we don't get to see it flourish.
Regarding religious beliefs
, God failed to protect the peace of the good people, and the good people were eventually killed by the bad guys. So you began to question God, but God said: This is caused by your own human beings, and I can do nothing about it. At the end of the movie, "I have no choice", "Of course you have a choice, and you have the right to choose." People will eventually have to pay the price for their choice, or face or blame God, or they will be remembered in history or infamous forever. I have always believed that good and evil always pay off.
Muslim women seem to have a very unequal status with men, I hope they can be released soon. . . How important it is for the growth of children to have enlightened parents and elders in the family
. About love "I went through a revolution that made me lose some of my family, but I survived, but love killed me" The film taught me too much, *You will meet many villains in your life. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it was their own foolish fault so you don't grit your teeth at their meanness. The worst thing in the world is pain and revenge. Always maintain a self-esteem, be true to yourself, and you will find that everything will be fine. Don't cry, think about your future. *Life is life, never make unrealistic assumptions.

Persepolis quotes

  • Marjane as a teenager: You say that our scarfs and trousers are indecent and that we put on make up, etc. As an art student, I'm often in the studio. I need to move freely in order to draw. A longer scarf will hinder me. As for our trousers, you say they're too wide even though they hide our shape. Since these trousers are in fashion right now, I ask, is religion defending our physical integrity or is it simply opposed to fashion? You criticise us, yet our brothers all have different hair and clothes. Sometimes they wear clothing so tight, we can see their underwear. Why is it that me, as a woman, should their tight clothes have no effect on me, while they should be aroused by a shorter scarf?

  • Marjane's grandmother: So you're French, now?

    Marjane as a teenager: Nana, stop it.

    Marjane's grandmother: No no, I'm just asking, is all. I didn't know you were French.

    Marjane as a teenager: Do you think it's easy being Iranian here? The moment I say where I'm from, they look at me like I'm a savage. They think we're all bloodthirsty, violent, loud fanatics.

    Marjane's grandmother: Do you think that's any reason to deny your roots? Do you remember what I told you? Be true to yourself.
