I was really looking forward to watching the movie version of Persepolis but I was fairly disappointed in it after watching it. I felt like a lot of things were left out that shouldn’t have been left out, like when Marjane’s mom comes to visit her in Austria. I also didn’t like how there was less character development in the film, I left like if I just watched the movie I wouldn’t have understood all the characters, especially her various boyfriends. I also found that the movie didn’t flow as well as the book did. I felt that in the book you got more of the complete story of each of the individual stories whereas in the movie they were all smooshed together. I felt like the stories were just told better through the book rather than in the movie, like the key story, I much preferred the way the key story was told in the book, it seemed more complete and better developed in the book.
