Persepolis the movie

I personally like the movie, but greatly preferred the book. This really isn’t a new thing for me; I do typically enjoy books more than I do the film versions. The book was far more descriptive and informational. The movie didn’t explain much of anything and seemed to be more just about Marji than anything. The other characters in the film did not have a chance to sufficiently develop.

There were some unnecessary cuts in the film I believe. The specific example I would like to point out is the “divorce.” The way it was done in the book gave more insight than it did in the movie. Like the rest of the movie it is hard to get a lead in what Marji is actually thinking at any given time and the flow is somewhat disjointed. Regardless it was a very entertaining Film.
