I haven't watched animation in the cinema for a long time, usually only the annual HKIFF shows the selection of world animations. But in recent years, I want to watch too many movies, and I haven't even watched the animation in the film festival. I chose "Persepolis" during the holiday. It was a bit of an improvisation, I only knew that some netizens read and talked about it and didn't read their articles, so I went to the French version. The result was overjoyed. I counted all the movies I watched last year two days ago, and even listed this film as 2007 One of my favorite movies in

2010. After watching the movie and browsing the Internet, I learned about the origin of Persepolis, as well as the very popular comic book series. The

Chinese translation is also very appropriate. It is a girl who grew up in Iran. The story of the girl is a true story, which is also the growth story of Marjane Satrapi, one of the original creators and directors of the comics. The whole film describes the girl's life in black and white animation, which is touching and humorous, and sees the history of Iran in realism. The culture and all the tragedies experienced by its people is a masterpiece not to be missed. The

animation is centered on the heroine, focusing on the various problems and situations faced by women in Iran. In addition to the protagonist Marjane, there is also her mother Mrs. Statrapi (voiced by the famous French actress Catherine Deneuve), and her grandmother. All three women have experienced a lot of hardships in Iran, and of course Marjane has encountered unprecedented culture shock when going abroad. Audiences studying abroad or living overseas resonate.

Parents have certain expectations for their children, but the country's poor and uncivilized are contrary to their daughter's growth and prospects. Marjane's family is open, even the grandmother of the previous generation. The feelings between the mother-in-law and the grandson are moved to tears.

The greatness of animation is that it can express many movies and live-action performances that cannot be expressed, especially children's laughter expressions, all kinds of humorous life details.

Although there is no color , The whole film is almost all black and white, but the wonderful story content and plot are enough to give it ten full marks.

    If you don’t know enough about the background culture and history, it will be more difficult to have a strong resonance or understanding for this movie. After all, this is not something that can be fully understood and understood by people who have downloaded it. It is more appropriate to use the translation of Jasmine's life. As far as the film is concerned, the picture and soundtrack are very good, but it is still greatly influenced by American animation. Many processing and shots are very American. Before watching the film, you should read the book first. ...

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.
