In my opinion, think that both the film and book of Persepolis were very good. I thought it was cool how she didn't use real people in the movie and continued with the cartoons because it definitely brought the book to life. I think that the film was better when it comes to understanding her story and feeling sympathetic towards her. The film gave us the opportunity to learn more about her personality and it also gives people the opportunity to make a more emotional/personal connection with Marjane.
I like how you touched on the films ability to give us a more meaningful connection to Marjane. I agree that the film was better at capturing her story and conveying her messages.
ReplyDeleteI agree that using cartoons that matched how the characters looked in the novel really helped bring the story to life. I also agree that the emotional reactions i got from watching the film were a lot stronger than the ones i got from reading the novel.
