As many of you know, Persepolis was made into a movie. I think this is a very cool idea because Marjane Satrapi has lived a very interesting life and people will learn a lot about Iranian culture by watching it. Here is the trailer for the movie Persepolis.

After watching the trailer I was surprised how they kept the characters animated. I thought that they would have hired big name actors and put in tons of explosions and special effects, but they kept it in the same format as the book. I like how they did this after reading the book, but if I hadn't read the book I would prefer real actors. This movie looks pretty good and I will have to watch it sometime.
The trailer looks good. I liked how they had that characters animated and just like the book but I agree without reading the book I would probably like real people better. I guess that kind of takes away from the graphic novel though.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think it is really cool how they kept the movie very similar to the book. Can't wait to see the movie!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I think it is really cool because a lot of people get mad when people change things when you make it into a movie and this way it is basically the book.
