In the recent viewing of the film "The Complete Persepolis." The animated version was able to take Marjane Satrapi's emotions and bring them to life. The film did a good job in illustrating her behavior and helped me paint a picture of how she reacted to different situations; however, in my opinion it left a lot of crucial details out of the plot. In the film we never saw her mom coming to see her or some of the other events that brought Satrapi to life. There seemed to be a lot of missing facts that helped us understand how everything roled together. I guess this is why reading books or novels is always better than primarily consentrating on films, because of the lack of details.
I did like the way they were able to illustrate between real time (present) and the past in the film version by using color technics in the film. It was a real way of diversifying time lapse in her story. I would have liked to see Marjane Satrapi narrate the animated film. I believe it would have given the real effect on her telling the story of her life. Given the critisisms, it was a very uniqe viewing, by bringing her story to life.
