PERSEPOLIS


Laura recommended us this movie, moreover after our stage in Algeria. She said that we would understand more details of the movie than before... how right she was!! I and Raquel went to the cinema Funatic, in Lleida.

Marjane Satrapi lived a cheerful childhood until the revolution came and the civil war started. The movie reflects perfectly how could have been the day-by-day life of a good family: religious friends having doubts after being told to go to the war "for the sake of God and for the country", relatives in jail and so. I liked how Marjane behaves with one communist-killer son and her changes after talking with God: her job is forgive!! But not everybody can accept that...

Cops persecute all indies and punks. Just everybody who lives out of the patterns designed by the government, designed following the rules of God. By the government interpretation, of course. As usual.
