In life, in order to obtain freedom you have to make some sacrifices. Nobody knows this better than Marjane Satrapi, the author of Persepolis, a girl who grew up in a very modern Iranian household during the Iran-Iraq war. Her family eventually decides that they aren’t going to leave Iran but that it would be best if Marjane went to another country where she can get a proper education and be free. Satrapi uses the motif of family throughout the story to show how her freedom comes at a cost.…

After watching Middle of Nowhere, I was deeply moved by the strong female characters and powerful narrative techniques that make that piece so special. For my narrative analysis, I will be choosing the animated film adaptation of the graphic novel, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. Premise Set in 1970s Iran, Marjane or “Marji” Satrapi witnesses through her life the defeat of the Shah, the birth of Islamic fundamentalism, injustices faced by her loved ones, and the rebirth of a new Iran. After…

The book Persepolis tells the story of young Marjane Satrapi and her experience during the Islamic Revolution. At ten years old, she is very naive and innocent at the beginning of this war, but it soon gives her knowledge on more serious topics of discussion. Marjane Satrapi’s perspective in Persepolis affected her view on religion, her loss of innocents, and her knowledge on social classes. Loss of innocence is something that everybody goes through, but having it occur at ten years old is rare…

Both “Persepolis” and “The Armenian Community of Tabriz” are presenting the life in Iran during Reza Shah’s reign. However, each passage has its unique approaches and sides that sometimes correspond to each other. Both Satrapi and Gregorian are demonstrating their childhood period. Although it took place in the same period, there are also some differences in their early childhood, lifestyle, financial status and household accommodation. Satrapi’s early childhood was spent in an easygoing way.…

would be boring. So having the opportunity to recently interview Gerald Auger was a veritable treat. I do not often come into contact with Indigenous peoples, and the fact that he is such a well-spoken activist for his people with an heart for indie film that tells the accurate history of this misunderstood people group made this an enlightening question/answer session indeed. random-photo-ben-clayton-photography-1.jpg.jpg…

these three separate events and festivals all together as they developed separately have now developed in to the big festival itself Festival Acadiens et Créole (“Festival Acadiens”). These events allowed for the festival to grow into something that celebrates all the aspects of the Cajun Créole culture. Rather than it just being a smaller event broken up into a day things it came together to a five-day event. More non-local people are more likely to come in for a festival that is more than just…

twentieth feature film, Julieta, chronicles the title character’s life as she is forced to reflect upon her riddled past and confront the tragic circumstances that surround the disappearance of her daughter. Almodovar based Julieta off of a series of short stories written by Nobel Prize winning author Alice Munro, which follow three stages of a Canadian woman’s life who faces similar circumstances. At it’s conception, Julieta was intended to be Almodovar 's first English-language film; however…
