Persepolis is 2007 animated film, from France, directed by Marjane Satarapi. The movie deals with the evolving history of Iran in th 1970's, 80's, and early 90's. The focus is the character Marjane, an Iranian girl, who watches her grandfather and uncle, punished and executed by Iranian revolutionaries.
Her uncle in particular influences her and instills a socialist ideology in her which she promotes, for the majority of her life. Her grandmother also empowers he as a woman, by passing down her feminist attitude to young Marjane, which is contrary to the beliefs of society and the laws created in Iran at the time.
The film maintains, a western, predominantly French view on the political evolution of Iranian law. The filmmaker Marjane Satrapi, presents, the pros and cons of how socialism and Shariya (Islamic law) have been implemented in Iran throughout history, in a manner that suggests that neither is the right method of government for Iran. The French liberal political ideology that has manifested itself throughout the 21st century, is a sharp contrast to the disorder and conservatism of Iranian politics.
I can't really relate very much to the film, because I know nearly nothing about French or Iranian politics. I also live in a country which has a relatively stable political system and I can only relate to the family's closeness in the film. I have the same cooperative relationship with my family.
