Persepolis Movie

I enjoyed the Persepolis movie that we watched this week in class and it did a pretty good job correlating to the movie. The movie was almost exactly the same as the book, but a little more detailed. They kept the same art style for all the characters and scenery with the black and white which made it really similar to the book. Although the movie was only in 2D and black and white it was still well animated and enjoyable.

I found that the movie left out many parts of the book or details that were in the book. I guess this is like all movies that are based on books, but I would have liked to seen the movie have more scenes from the book. This was unlike any other movie based on a book that I have seen because the book already had pictures so I already had a good idea of what the author wanted me to picture, so seeing the movie didn't really make that much of a difference. There wasn't a part where after seeing the part in the movie I then got part of the story because it was already well explained. What I did enjoy about this movie was there was a lot of humor throughout it. I often found myself grinning and the facial expressions and one liners that added some comic relief to a pretty depressing story.
