Experiments in Visual Writing

I think this entire scene of Marjane in Iran is perfect. But they skipped around the details. I distinctly remember Marjane getting involved with that boy before college and then are dating him when in college. Maybe my memory is off? Either way, I am loving Marjane’s sassiness to the heads of the college. Even though they didn’t mention how her religion part of the test went and how honest she was about her views on Islam.

I really enjoyed Marjane’s creative take on being with that boy who cheated on her (he’s so irrelevant I already forgot his name), but the artistic take was gorgeous. Sucks that it didn’t last forever. I thought they left out the part where she sees all his flaws but they just went over that ha ha.

While I know the nurse’s scene was not that big of a deal I wonder why they skipped through it so quickly. They never even depicted Marjane finally getting along with her roommate and visiting her “second family.” I thought that would have been nice.

I will be live blogging my reactions to the movie Persepolis at 8PM tonight.

As I watch the 2007 movie version of Persepolis, I will add comments to this post in order to blog what I found interesting in the film. Occasionally, I will compare the film to the book. Stay tuned!

Here is the link of the movie posted to youtube. The subtitles are in Spanish but the movie is in English. (Link to Persepolis Film)

Hello world! Today, I will be watching Persepolis while also, during certain intervals, live blog moments of the film.  This will be done in the comments of this post, and they may be things I find interesting to point out and potentially compare to the book!
