Mark Wyner Won’t Comply 

Now seems like a good time to share the film “Persepolis.” If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.

The animated film is an autobiographical story about a young woman coming of age during Iran’s revolution in the 70s.

Marjane Satrapi is an multi-disciplinary artist. Her art and storytelling is brilliant.

Y’all mentioned the books. Def good stuff. I just love the vibe of the film. And Marjane directed/wrote it, so it didn’t lose the integrity of the books.

So…I recommend both, actually. 🎉

@redsad @markwyner came here to say the exact same, and just found out there’s a 2nd book too

@markwyner The books were amazing. I didn’t know they’d made a movie.

@octothorpe right? On so many levels. The animation is so good, even beyond the story itself. Marjane did an amazing job with it.

@markwyner It might be a good time to re-watch it, too.

Great movie about a sad time.

@tshirtman yeah, I was like “hey, everyone, watch this movie.” I forgot to add it to my own queue for a fresh watch. It’s been a minute. So I’m gonna re-watch it, like you.

@markwyner It started life as a HELL of a comic. One of the best ever made.

@markwyner the graphic novel is also excellent.

@markwyner I was assigned this for a film appreciation class I took at community college, and before researching what it was about I decided to watch it with my ultraconservative mother. She wasn't exactly a fan to say the least, but it definitely made an impression on me

@tarix29 oh, that’s rad. How cool to have this film show up as an assignment.

@markwyner A very good movie indeed although I found the graphic novels (2 books) even better 👍

@markwyner Yes, the right moment, let's justify the bombing.

That's a good movie but the timing is bad.

Why not about?
- The Revenant
- Letters from Iwo Jima
- Apocalypse Now
- Full Metal Jacket
- First Man
- Vice

@markwyner The film and the books are great. But about the "good time": bombing civil targets (a war crime) by a fascist rogue regime that fights against the freedom of women in its own country, won't help women in Iran at all. Don't forget that the USA first bombed a school.
