Let me just share about the movie I watched recently entitled Persepolis. This is a monochrome animation based on a novel written by the director herself Marjane Satrapi who also happens to be the main character in the story. The movie is about the coming of age of a young girl during the war in Iran and the country's struggle for freedom. It's quite a bore at first but if you pay close attention to its English subtitles (it's dubbed in French) it tackles sensitive issues that concern women and freedom of expression. Marjane's character amused me because she is the rebellious type of girl who made a mistake at some point in her life but managed to pull herself together. to sum it up Persepolis is a story of struggle in war, love, and life in general. It's a pretty good movie for me.
