I don’t know if it’s because speaking French has turned into a movie and cut a lot of plots from the original comics.
And the life in Iran and the inner anxiety of the protagonist as an Iranian in the story are not consistent in this kind of exotic literature.
Nothing special, just telling the "truth" that the outside world has always thought and would like to see and believe, closed, no freedom, and unequal separation of men and women.
I feel that this protagonist is really unflattering.
Selfish, self-righteous, full of freedom and democracy, fled abroad, ran home in case of trouble, relying on a rich and well-connected father.
She doesn’t have a defensible friend, she is not close to everyone (because she is an Iranian), and it seems to be bad for everyone,
indeed, for Europeans she is Iranian, for Iranians she is It's a foreigner.
But this kind of popularity. . . You have to find the reason from your own character. . .
For her, emotional failure is the biggest failure in life. ...However the heroine's tragedy theme is like this.

After reading it, everyone in the office just wanted to know what job her father did and who he was (her grandfather was a prince).

It's too French to be sad enough to be sad, and warmth isn't enough to warm people's hearts. . .

    Marjane's grandma is undoubtedly the soul of the show, exuding the fragrance of jasmine in the carbon black war, dispelling confusion and ignorance.

    Identity, home country nostalgia, and the pursuit of freedom are also straightforward. Only if the family has money can they go abroad to receive a good education and pursue freedom at any time. The poor can only be brainwashed and used as cannon fodder at home.

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.
