Response to Persepolis

Comparing the movie to the novel, I feel that the movie left out a lot of details than the book had. The book provided a lot more details of the experiences that Marjane had gone through, which the movie had left out, mainly because movies have a certain length. The book in my opinion did a better job at explaining Marjanes story because it told her story better. Some of the important themes of the book were also missing from the movie . For example, when Marjane had moved to Vienna some of the themes from this scene and a lot of the detail was missing in the movie. The movie rushed through telling her experiences and if someone were to have saw the movie before reading the book, it would leave them a bit confused. The movie did help with understanding how they felt going through such situations and the music also helped with the feel of things.
