What does /co/ think of Persepolis, the movie version specifically. But you could talk about the comic too.

Nice get, but yeah I agree. Some people think it's too "artsy" but I think it's a kick ass film. One of the best animations I've seen.

Great film honestly, no shitposting here.
The art style and animation was top notch, the story had it's ups and downs (I consider the time in France to be the films biggest low point) but was fairly decent all around, and of course it was really interesting to get a view into Iran and all the shit that country went through from the view of an Iranian.

Great movie but it's weird how much taking the little scenes change the tone of the story.

They weren't plot important so I totally understand why they had to cut them but the movie ended up being a lot more depressing without the little bits of Marjane interacting with friends and family on an ordinary day to day bases.

I think he's saying that her cuntishness wasn't excused by the comic, and was even condemned by other characters in it.

Obviously no one thinks she did the right thing, but the comic does make a solid point that she wasn't doing it to BE a cunt. She was doing it out of fear, which often leads us to pretty cunty actions.

She's remorseful, she won't do it again, and we as a society gain more by keeping her free to spread the story of the depths that she sank to in a moment of weakness.

The whole Iranian revolution is a shame.

And the fact that she's open with us about her shameful activity makes her whole narrative a valuable learning experience for us.

If she had hidden that shame, if she had just presented a narrative of "Everyone else did shameful things, but not me, I'm innocent", then it wouldn't be a good warning about the darkness that lurks in us all. But she didn't hide it, and it is a good warning. Thanks Marjane.

How do you expect people to react to those pages? Do you think it would be better if anons here would condone of what she did, or laugh about that random man's fate?

The author was brave for being able to depict herself as a flawed person who did stupid things. But I think it's nice that even on a website like 4chan, people can feel empathy for someone who became a victim of injustice.

The comic benefits from having a slower pace and more time to flesh things out. It's a lot more informative.

However, the movie is a lot more emotionally engaging. I teared up in a few places. Plus the "eye of the tiger" scene is amazing.

I think it's a tendency for people reading about those living during atrocities to overestimate their own bravery. It's like how every Jr High student reading about Nazi Occupation thinks to themselves "If I was there I would _totally_ be in the Resistance. I'd Resist so FUCKING HARD."

Then you get scenes like the opening of Inglorious Basterds, with this stoic French farmer completely collapsing after 5 minutes conversation with Christoph Waltz, and you think "goddamn, they weren't fucking around."
