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.

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.
