Thoughts on this?
>>147155915Still wish there was more focus on her life in Iran as a kid. Her being little brat made it more all the more interesting
>>147155915Had to read it in class for foreign literature, couldn't get past like 100 pages or so it was fucking dreadful.Just some shitty biased propaganda from a dumb bitch.>>147155945Well if you want that then read the comic, all of the parts I've read (which felt like it went on forever) were just about her as a kid.
>>147155915The thought of a female protagonist makes me highly agitated. I am not as mentally well as I should be.
Maybe I'd give a shit if I was Persian myself but really nothing about the story interests me
>>147156036Wasn't she from iran?
>>147155915I don't remember anything but I think I enjoyed the movie well enough.
>>147156044Persia is an old-fashioned name for Iran, anon.
>>147156044Anon...
>>147156044
>>147156044woof
>>147156052>>147156053>>147156057Well how am I supposed to know that?We only learned about our history/geography in school.Not other countries.
>>147155915I think Persepolis is a very cool film and would love to see more works with a similar aesthetic. On the big screen.
>>147155945>Her being little brat Her being a fucking sociopath more like.She had no qualms about murder and torture and was upset when she learned her family didn't have someone who was tortured and killed in prison kek.
>>147156392And also called her dad a bitch for not wanting to go die in a war for no reason and cried herself to sleep because of it.
>>147155915saw the movie. i liked it.>>147155956you comment is shitty propaganda from a dumb bitch>>147156036damn then why'd you bump the thread with a comment?
>>147156425>you comment is shitty propaganda from a dumb bitchIronic isn't it.The dumb bitch in this comic was an idolizer of terrorist separatists who murdered a ton of innocent people.She's a biased retarded cunt.
>>147156077The American education system is pretty bad, but after you graduate you can learn things for yourself
>>147156445What does it have to do with american education system?I'm from the UK, we only learn about british history.>but after you graduate you can learn things for yourselfWhy would I just be researching history of iran on my own for no reason?Who does that???I'm not a history teach.
>>147156452I'm American and I thought our ignorance was bad
>>147156510I'm on a comics and cartoons board, you think I'm gonna wake up one day and be like "hmm today I will research the history of iran" instead of anything else?Like comics and cartoons?
>>147155945>Worm mouth
>>147155915I enjoyed it when I first read the book in high school and I still enjoy it now. It's a pretty solid coming of age story though you progressively understand how privileged and frequently selfish she is as you get older.
>>147156531Nta but you clearly have never heard of enriching your knowledge or perspective. I look up and learn random shit all the time and my school (in the UK) gave me a cursory understanding of other cultures and customs anon.
>>147156607Well I'm happy for you but I like to enjoy life.Learning shit is the opposite of that.
>>147155915I have yet to actually read it/watch the adaptation, although I should probably do it with my dad, he also lived during the revolution and fled Iran to avoid participating in the war
>>147156622Oh boy I don't think your dad will enjoy it much.
>>147156629What, does she shit on the regime and Islam? My dad does that every day
>>147156442anon you're just spewing words without even talking about what the names of the factions are or what their goals were
>>147156611>learning is the opposite of enjoying lifedamn must suck to suck. stay stupid, anon. never get on the internet again if words are too scary
>>147156905>damn must suck to suck. I'm having a jolly time.>stay stupid, anon. gladly, ignorance is bliss.enjoy being miserable
>>147156227Those are some nice breasts. Is that the creator?
>>147155915My thoughts are that there is a severe lack of porn.
>>147156077Don't worry anon, people who consider Iranian filth on par with the Persian empire are retarded. It's like people saying Italians and Romans are the same.
>>147155915I hate that they made her first boyfriend a dick when in the comic she admits she was too hard on him
>>147156392She was sad because the propaganda of Iran put dying for a greater cause on such a high pedestal
>>147155915cool movie
>>147155945This
>>147156008Watch RBG you’ll change your mind https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Grn_qfCMo6w
>>147156227Shit I’ll move to Iran get a hot trad Muslim wife
>>147158390You have to convert to Islam for that.
>>147156510Where do you think we got it from? Like Father like Son.
>>147155915I'm going to watch that movie today. I've read the comic and liked it quite a lot. I wish Iran and the whole world weren't oppresed by Islam anymore.
>>147159238The movie is definitely better than the comic.>I wish Iran and the whole world weren't oppresed by Islam anymore.A little late on that, there's nothing left of what it used to be and of the people who have all left or died.
>>147155915I read the graphic novels a long time ago and enjoyed them. Have not seen the animation.
>>147155915Doesn't look like persepolis
>>147155915It's cute but kind of a drag.
>>147155915She was a cunt for snitching out an innocent man to the police
>>147156399>>147156392She was raised by communists to be a little radicalized communist shitter herself
>>147156044anon...
>>147160061This.Not only that but they were also privileged and hypocrites.
>>147160048It’s weird how even the animated adaptation acknowledges this so they made him look like a perv when in the book he literally just smiles (and I think waves).
Did you know that fat cocksucker says I look like the shah of iran
>>147161095Is this the Persepolis girl?
>>147161123context clues anon
>>147161146Did you draw this on paper and later scanned it? Pretty good! How long did this take you?
>>147161167this shit is years old anon, sorry
>>147161095>>147161146>>147161186Got any socials?
>>147161186>>147161146>>147161095Got any loods of her?
>>147161224>>147161340bros i'm not the artist, i just happen to have these things saved
>>147161366You seem to like Persepolis a lot though.
>>147161366Oh, well you should open with that probably but my question still stands, you could have saved some from whoever made these.
>>147155915Why a thread on this comic? Is it like Maus where every high schooler reads it at some point?
>>147161410https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/131685685if you want to dig for persepolis stuff here's the thread i got the drawings from
>>147161430>Why a thread on this comic? Why not?Why do we have any thread on anything?>Is it like Maus where every high schooler reads it at some point?Yes, at least in my generation, don't know about these days.
>>147161439I'll take a look.
>>147156987No. The creator is a fairly older woman.
>>147158332Bullshit cause
>>147161095Would be more accurate if she had a G3.
>>147160470she's more self-aware than the movie, apparently
>>147161874That's her point. >>147156567That is a fair take. She seems pretty self aware of her bougie insulated position in society. She does parody herself. But we can still critique the story she can tell being limited even with her awareness.It's a good book. She seems fairly likable. She can be self-absorbed and self-serving just like most spoiled bougie kids in any country. That's her point I guess. I can't be friends with those types of insufferable brats but some of them can tell some fun yarns. >>147156879She's a Francophile, describes her family as champagne Marxists and she does shit on Islam and fundamentalism, though she also finds comfort in a loving personal God. She briefly acknowledges the west destabilizing the country in the first place. It's just an account of how these things affected people through her eyes as a bougie spoiled kid.
>>147163690"Our governments are very much the same." No, no they're not.
It's a good movie
The book is better because there were moments that were omitted in the movie.
>>147156452>Why would I just be researching history of iran on my own for no reason?>Who does that???Everyone on /his/. Anyways, this thread would do prettty good there i bet.
>>147156452 >on my own for no reason?to not be an ignorant of course & to know when they are feeding you liesbut in today's dystopian technological hellhole, people are praised for being ignorant cattle
>>147158394>my wife has to do what I say and doesn’t dress like a whore and I just pray 5 times a day Alright, doesn’t sound too bad
>>147155915OK coming-of-age graphic novel.It made sense when I read it back in high school, but now I just think "Why are you doing that/thinking that way?" and seem to relate much less.
>>147156044good bait
>>147155915s'aight
>>147156567The comic made clear that despite the abuses, Iranians are OK with the Islamic regime. That's why she left at the end to settle down in France and marry a Frenchman. She didn't belong and despite her leftist ideals, the people was against her
>>147161095Cute but I liked her as a teen more.The scene of her rocking out to iron maiden is one of my favorites.
>>147167384and the transition to the war, a highlight of the filmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1LPToZPf5c&pp=ygUWcGVyc2Vwb2xpcyBpcm9uIG1haWRlbg%3D%3D
>>147167408It's really an impressive piece of animation I think.Very expressive and lively, there's certain energy to movement.The plot and characters I didn't really care much for though.Who animated it anyway?Did they make anything else?
>>147163748yes the fuck they areand before you cope that they can't be compared (which they can), remember that a very large number of despotic regimes are puppet dictatorships put there by the u.s., which is confirmed the known history of regime change actions done by the CIA.now that you've considered that, look up operation ajax
>>147156036But I did have breakfast today
>>147166015>despite the abuses, Iranians are OK with the Islamic regimelike a lot of dictatorships, they're OK with probably living in an oppressive regime for eternity until it's gone
