Like in the graphic novel, the film version of Persepolis depicts Marjane Satrapi as she struggled to grow up and deal with a constant bombardment of philosophies, emotions, culture and religion. At an early age she was told about the revolution and how things should be and why the way things are is wrong and how things used to be. Her father, grandmother, and uncle all filled her mind with these concepts and as Marjane grew up she became outspoken, rebellious, and independent. For lack of a better term, Marjane was a punk. In Austria she became even more independent, having to learn how to take care of herself on her own and find out how to fit in.
Marjane and her grandmother have a very close bond. Her grandmother her some of the best advice for life. Her words are wise and powerful, coming from a person who is free and independent and outspoken like her granddaughter.
