Marjane

1)     Relate what was discussed in class or the text to the screening.

In class we discussed Iran, during and after the Islamic revolution. We spoke about Marjane Satrapi and how she wrote a novel and then it turned into a film. A french comics publisher published her books and another artist drew the cartoon up for Marjane's novel. 

2)    Find a related article and summarize the content. 

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/25/movies/25pers.html  This article talks about the film and how it depicts a young girl's life coming into difficult times, a tale the unfolds with such grace, intelligence and charm. The film is passionate and emotional, it is also daring and shows her brave. It shows her growing up and her difficult times and depressed behavior. Marjane wanted to live life to the fullest and make her parents proud of her. She went through many stages in her life. 

3)    Apply the article to the film screened in class.  

The article stressed that the film is PG-13 and parents are strongly cautioned. It has violent scenes although it is a cartoon and also has sex scenes. For the most part the film is calm in its story line but those parts do sneak up from time to time. The movie is based on Marjane's life and her opening up in all honesty is very moving to other women of her culture as well as showing those open minded americans another point of view.

4)    Write a critical analysis of the film, including your personal opinion,  formed as a result of the screening, class discussions, text material and the article. 

Marjane was a very good film. It brought out of a lot of different emotions. It was about a headstrong young female who was independent like myself. She was very outspoken and her behavior got her expelled from school. She was rebellious but, with a cause. They end up sending her to Vienna and she ends up being raised by nuns. She seems very dedicated to her beliefs and does not allow anything to sway her thoughts. She also fails in love more then once but I enjoyed the humorous side of that. Not everything in life is roses and peaches. This film is very deep and intricate.
