While you can feel for her plight a bit, shes full of fault and bad decisions herself, all the way to the near end of the movie where she gets an innocent man arrested. She struggles to fit in everywhere, partly of her own doing in many instances. The start of the movie suffers from a lack of characterization, moving at a pace that is probably a bit too quick. More time and care is taken to her time out of Iran, giving you a bit more understanding of her plight when you finally hit that point, compared to early on when people are dying and you aren't immediately sure who they are and what their importance really is. Stifled: I will say first and foremost this movie is very well done. The art style was unique in the fact it was both weird and pleasing to the eye. The girls story was both heartbreaking and entertaining all at the same time. I was hooked from beginning to end. But heres the rub. I watch movies for escapism. Things that are depressing in nature, while beautiful in the case of this movie, just will not appeal to me in the same way fun and happy things do. Depressing is ultimately not my cup of tea. So I probably wont give this one a rewatch. But I will remember it fondly. Traviss opinion: He wasnt very interested, and eventually took a nap. Ermine: As with all types of films that are in the same kind of theme and vein as this one, I find it incredibly difficult to rank. I'm not the biggest fan of these types of movies mostly because they kind of make me depressed, especially so if I actually get into the film. Persepolis drags on a bit at the start but once it gets going I found myself pretty invested. The music used in the film is quite nice and does an excellent job at driving the scenes. The animation, while not in really a style that I enjoy that much, is very well done. This is a movie that I can appreciate but at the same time kind of regret watching. I don't enjoy feeling depressed and down about my own life so it always makes ranking these types of movies incredibly difficult for me. --- :> Truly smilin' ... Copied to Clipboard! |
