a spiritual growth

Originally, I recently vowed to quit movies and study hard, but the poisoning is too deep, and quitting her is a fool's dream, let's forget it for the time being. The movie I watched today is called "I grew up in Iran". There are not many animations that I particularly like, and this is one of them. Let's not talk about religion or politics in the film, just want to talk about the protagonist, Maggie, her feelings, and her growth.

Forced by national turmoil, in desperation, the parents sent their youngest daughter Maggie abroad to Vienna, the capital of music. There she was scorned, and she even forgot her grandmother's teachings, lied that she was French, and forgot her country. After three years, she finally got used to the life here, found suitable friends, and even met the Prince Charming in her life. I thought she would be able to have a happy ending this way, but I didn't expect God's will to mess with people, but the next day the man came to thank him and thanked Maggie for letting him realize that he was gay. He finally recognized himself and finally saw a bright future. But what about her...

After the tragedy of her first love, she met her second Prince Charming, blond and blue-eyed (black and white movie, at least I think so, a handsome little white face), warm and talented. She was so intoxicated with such happiness that she could not see the end. However, one day, she discovered that there was another woman in the arms of the man she loved! He chased after her and shouted "Je t'aime", but what's the use of that, could a simple "Je t'aime" save everything and make the woman forget the betrayal in front of her!

Since then, Maggie has been devastated, depressed, and even seriously ill. She wants to go back to China, maybe the warmth of home can melt all the sadness at this time. However, when she returned home, she still felt unfamiliar, and the doctor said she had depression.

In this film, I like the role of grandma the most. There is only decent, and it will always appear in time when needed. With her encouragement, Maggie went to college and met her third Prince Charming. The two are such a match in every way. At the age of 21, they decided to get married. If it is a fairy tale, the ending will be "the prince and the princess live happily ever after". But in fact, fairy tales are not deceiving, because fairy tales do not talk about the married life of the prince and princess. Maggie and the others were not as beautiful as they had imagined after they got married. Quarrel, bored with each other, helpless, all kinds of incompatibility.

Maggie cried to her grandmother that she no longer loved him, and even faced divorce. The second grandmother said, "You are sad because you chose the wrong person. It is always difficult for people to admit their mistakes." After that, she patted Maggie on the head.

Soon, Maggie got divorced and went to the outside world again. When he went abroad this time, his grandmother cried, and his family did not allow him to come back if he did not develop well.

This is the last time I see my grandma.

"You'll meet a lot of assholes in your life and they hurt you because they're stupid. You don't have to respond to their ill will, the worst thing in the world is low self-esteem and revenge. Always maintain your self-esteem and integrity, and don't forget that you are Who and your country." This is what Maggie said to her when she first went abroad.

Maggie took a taxi from a foreign country and walked towards the unknown. In the car, the driver asked her, "Which country are you from?" Maggie no longer hesitated: "Iranian."

The road ahead was dark, and only the streetlights glowed orange. But her heart is bright. She will no longer feel inferior for admitting that she is Iranian, and she will no longer be lost in love. When a person has a strong and determined soul, then she must be the most beautiful and the most empowered to control her own life.

    This black and white picture is too expressive. The political movement in it reminds me of our country, and we will also have a "I grew up in China" in the future. Always be true to yourself.

    I've seen movies and books. The movie is very faithful to the original. The particularly touching life of 4 Xiao 6 reminds people of his time as a devil king in the world-although Ala 8 can be regarded as a 6 in the strict sense. It was the first time after N years that I took 88’s mother to Ala’s school, the dormitory of the year. Ala just arrived that day to pick up my relatives and parked at the place where he ventured out and asked for directions in French. . . And watching Mary Jiang say "they kept their promise and didn't ask me about my experience", my nose is sour. 94 like that.

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.
