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.…

This past summer movie season sweltered, simmered and smoldered its way into the hearts of many in 2017. While previous summers presented the worst Hollywood had to offer, this year proved different. Beginning with the empowering “Wonder Women,” to the stunning “Dunkirk” and the inspiriting joy ride that was “Baby Driver,” the film industry pleasantly surprised with dense blockbusters and three dimensional characters audiences will not soon forget. Nevertheless, a few indie gems — great films…

Truffaut had a reputation for on-screen sensitivity to children, women, and…
