Persepolis

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Drama
Persepolis is a poignant film based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novels of the same title.

The film's use of black-and-white images is perfect as it brings focus to the story. If the movie were done in live action, I don't think it would be as interesting to watch. If it were done a la Shrek naman, I think the visuals wouldn't match the story. Marjane and all the characters in Persepolis are real people and the film effectively shows that.

Persepolis made me realize that despite our superficial differences, we are all the same. It doesn't matter that we hold different passports. We feel the same feelings and we want the same things, such as justice, fairness, respect and love.

This film is beautiful. Watch it.
