"Reporter: What do you think is our biggest misunderstanding of Iran?
Satrapi: You guys I don’t understand that we are also human beings. We are seen as the “axis of evil”, the den of terrorists... The biggest misunderstanding is that we have no humanity or humanity. We have become abstract concepts, and it is hard for people to even imagine that we have parents and brothers. Sister, we will go to the movies, listen to music, laugh, and have a sense of humor... I have no attempt to stop the war and change the world, but if people watch my movie and say, “Oh, they are just like us.” This That's enough.
Reporter: The United States is talking about giving Iran'freedom'. Does Iran need this kind of'freedom', and if it does, should it be given by the United States?
Satrapi: I don't think anyone needs to be liberated, but'democracy' It is not a gift given by bombing others. In addition, democracy is not a picture painted on the wall. It can be painted only by inspiration.... It won’t be because you have a leader, he can do it. Savior, it is not because you can have two new Coca-Cola distributors and therefore have "democracy." Change will only come from within a country, and we should help this change internally.
For example, the United States paid for the establishment of Al Qaeda. What I mean is that the Western world created Al Qaeda and the regimes of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. They have fed and given them money for many years. But when the Western world could not control them, it began bombing and killing even completely innocent people. ...No one really needs to be liberated. There are still many dictatorships in this world. If the problem is really "human rights", you can bomb them. But the essence of the problem is only oil and money, which is what makes me angry. If they say directly:'We are the most powerful country in the world, but God has given you 85 percent of the world's oil, so we must destroy you. We are the best, so we have to have everything we want. 'I would say:'Well then, this is the law. 'But they always talk nonsense about democracy and human rights to us...at least it shouldn't be so ironic, you can say it straight, then I might accept it. But the whole thing made a huge shit, and the old grandson pretended to be benevolent and said,'I love you! 'Oh yeah, of course I fucking love you too. "

This is a straightforward conversation, but I don't want to talk about politics here. I just talk about female artists and her works. I think some people are naturally mainstream. Of course, they also yearn for the past, but they have been used to it since they were young. If you are subordinate to the mainstream, you will feel insecure. Some people have rebelled against the mainstream since they were young. As I grow older, I slowly learned to see the world with my own eyes. Marjane Satrapi described her own non-mainstream thrilling life in "I grew up in Iran Persepolis".
This is a good-looking adult cartoon with sincere content. Unique temperament.
Marjane Satrapi is very good at telling stories. The narrative logic is clear, and the way of depicting the joys and sorrows of life is warm and humorous. Many people laugh and empathize with each other after reading. For
example, she was betrayed in love and ran away angrily. Smoking and thinking about her boyfriend. At this time, the boyfriend in the picture turned into a disgusting and dirty look, and I was amused immediately when I was sad for her. Many people have had this experience, and those who have been obsessed with are just selfish and stingy. Joker. There
are also some surreal scenes that are very smooth and clever.
For example, when she was living alone in Vienna, one night at a party, a certain man asked her where she was from. She hesitated and blurted out, "I am French." The next shot was that she went home alone at night, hanging down. Looks depressed. As the camera of her shadow on the wall moved, there was a shadow of an old lady with her chest raised up suddenly speaking: "So you are now French?"
"Grandma, stop talking ..." Her head He answered in a low voice without replying.
"No, it's just a problem, I just don't know you are French."
"Do you think it's easy to be an Iranian here? Every time you say you are a barbarian, for them, we are a group of people. Crazy, spend time fighting with each other." She retorted.
"Is this the reason why you deny your own country? Remember what I told you? Be self-respect, honest, and be the same."

Grandma is the goddess in this movie. She has a beautiful hobby. She always treats Jasmine. Put the petals in the bra so that it will be full of fragrance, and the film ends in the fluttering jasmine petals.
Many people are concerned about the political nature of the film. Iran has boycotted the film and asked the Cannes Film Festival to disqualify it from participating. But it finally won the 2007 Cannes Jury Award for its extraordinary charm.
Marjane Satrapi was born in Iran in 1969 and has lived in France for more than ten years. She said: "France is like my partner, and Iran is my mother. Even if my mother is sick or crazy, it will not change that she is me. The fact of mother. Of course I can choose my partner, but I may choose the wrong one and get a divorce... When people talk about Iran, this great ancient country, they always associate her with fundamentalism, fanaticism and terrorism. Together. As an Iranian who grew up in Iran, I know that this image is far from real. Because of this, the creation of "Persepolis" is so important to me. I think it should not be based on the bad behavior of a few extremists. And judge the whole country.”
I don’t actually think this movie is “politics”, it is a story about life, love and freedom. But Persepolis is a place name (now in Iran). It used to be the capital of the ancient Persian Kingdom. The movie uses it to name it really meaningful...
