Persepolis (Comic Book)	comment	Persepolis is an autobiographical comic by Iranian-French author Marjane Satrapi, originally published in multiple volumes from 2000â€“2004, and adapted into an animated film (directed by Satrapi as well) in 2007. It begins with her childhood in Tehran during The '70s to The '90s, as her middle-class family works to bring down the Shah. Soon, the fundamentalists are swept into power, and a new wave of repression begins. Marjane rebels in small ways, such as by buying smuggled rock tapes and denim jackets, drawing the attention of her school and compelling her parents to send her to Europe. She kicks around Vienna for a few years, alienated by the people there, before returning to a Tehran changed by years of fundamentalist rule.Both the graphic novel and the film were well received by critics upon their release. The film was nominated for the Best Animated Picture Oscar but lost to Ratatouille. The Iranian government issued protests against it being shown at various film festivals worldwide, but it allowed a limited screening in Tehran. The film was banned for a short period of time in Lebanon, as well.

Persepolis (Comic Book) / int_129749df	comment	All Men Are Perverts: Used verbatim in the first book by Marjane's mother, after several fundamentalist men make sexist comments toward her. The fundamentalist Islamist government tended to believe it, using it to justify making women wear the veil to "protect" them. There is quite some hypocrisy in this thought, though, as men stare anyways.

When picking up some kidney beans to make chili, Marji jokes that "We'll just have to forget about the flatulence factor", causing one of Mali's kids to ask what flatulence is. Marji answers, "Well... farts!", much to the kids' amusement.

Whilst Marjane's dad stalls, Marjane and her grandma go inside and dispose of all the alcohol in the house (of which there was a lot). The door opens and... it's Marjane's disgusted father, who simply paid off the Guards. He wants a drink, but the alcohol is gone.

However, this isn't always true, as the waitress who gets revenge on a customer for Marjane looks ugly but is good. And, well, it's a rather simplistic cartoony style, so what passes for "exaggerated physical flaws" ends up as "average". There is also some indication that Marjane is a bit of Unreliable Narrator and her opinions of people color her perceptions of them.

Reza, her third boyfriend and future husband, was her complete polar opposite. Although this led them to become attracted to each other, they never lived together until they married after two years, due to the moral restrictions on unmarried couples. This led to them realizing that Marjane's spirited nature and Reza's introversion were incompatible.

And the stress of dealing with the cop makes her father say I Need a Freaking Drink.

Plot: It's easy to overlook, but when Marjane in heartbreak mode ends up roaming the streets for weeks, she thinks that she can't go back to Sherine's apartment because Sherine won't have room for her. When she drums up the courage to go after her hospital stay and ask Sherine to repay one of her mother's loans, Sherine asks her where she was because her uncle was searching for her during the time that she went missing. It's obvious that while Sherine wasn't a good host, she would have kept Marjane safe and found other lodgings for her. Marjane herself is embarrassed about this and buys cigarettes with some of the money so she won't have to think about it.

A number of other communists appear too, some noble, others hypocrites, but portrayed positively overall while friendly with Marjane. Because of her uncle, Marjane grows up with picturing God as Karl Marx, having a kind of Islamic/Marxist hybrid philosophy. After losing faith in God, she still has a radical leftist point of view and hangs around with communists or anarchists.

She goes Oh, Crap!, knowing it's a Deadly Euphemism for getting arrested. Several years later, her mother Taji tells Marjane that she can't keep speaking out at school, or she might end up like Niloufar who was arrested for the crime of being Communist. Niloufar — like many arrested virgins — was married off to a prison guard, raped, and then shot because it's against the law to kill virgins. Marjane is shocked but suggests that maybe the regime made it up to scare people and they just executed Niloufar. Her father shuts her down with five words: "No, your mother is right." He knows because Niloufar's family reported they received a pittance of a dowry from her "husband".

Persepolis (Comic Book) / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: In the graphic novel, Marjane points out the hypocrisy of her parents, who wax poetic about human rights while keeping an underage maid, Mehridia. Mehridia was born to a poor family in a destitute village, and the Satrapis took her in when she was a small child. While the Satrapis did feed and clothe Mehridia and try to teach her to read, they still kept her out of school and used her as a source of child labor. None of the characters (except the author) bat an eyelash at the situation, which was apparently common in Iran at the time. Marjane mentions that she found a huge Culture Clash while in Vienna. She wasn't used to Julie being casual about sex or talking about the pill, or about the numerous vacations. Even at parties, everyone would lie around and smoke while in Iran people would dance. More seriously, she knows that in Iran you always have family to care for you in times of need; in Austria, she had no one; her mother's friend Sherine had her moved to a religious boarding house and any friends who took her in often had temporary spaces. When Marjane was briefly homeless, she noted how alone she was and no one cared for her.

Persepolis (Comic Book) / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Marjane's suicide attempt. In the book, she describes sleeping off her antidepressants for a few days, waking up and hallucinating for hours, and going to her therapist for advice. It's mildly Played for Laughs because she attempted to get drunk and cut her wrist with a pear knife before, but still sobering in how it took a Happily Failed Suicide for her to recover from depression. In the film, she sees God and Karl Marx, and God tells her she has so much more to live for, sending her back to the real world. Cue Marjane waking up with a fierce Death Glare and taking life by the throat while singing "Eye of the Tiger".

Persepolis (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: Marjane's mother delivers one to her, after cutting in on the moment listed under Kids Are Cruel. She asks Marjane "How would you like it if I nailed your ears to the wall?" before telling her that it isn't fair to hurt someone for what their parents do. When guards come in a raid, Marjane accuses a man who was eyeing her earlier of saying something indecent to her in order to save herself from being confronted over wearing lipstick. He's never seen again. Later on, she tells her grandmother about the incident-and also laughs about it. Grandma is far, far from amused and heavily admonishes her for it. Since the movie takes place in post-revolution Iran, the man could've been tortured or even executed. The scene shows how a police state could turn anyone into a monster.

It was followed by a disclaimer of "Yes, he really did say that". This is why Marjane's examiner passed her on the religion test, allowing her to get into university: he appreciated that she was completely honest about her prayer and beliefs in God. Every other student felt they had to lie. The aforementioned "WELL THEN, DON'T LOOK AT MY ASS!" scene. It shocked the police so much they let her go. When two Fundamentalists see Marjane wearing Western clothing, she spins the story of a Wicked Stepmother who physically abuses her and would lock her up. Add in some fake tears, and they let her go as she was drawing in attention.

When she goes to Austria after some years under the Ayatollah, she is shocked when another girl openly talks about her pussy, and tells her she had sex with 18 boys (without being married, of course). Downplayed in that Marjane doesn't believe in controlling other people about their sexual preferences, the way the Islamists do, and listens out of politeness. When Marjane returns to Iran her female friends are eager to hear about her sexual experiences, but when they find out that she slept with several guys they call her a whore.

Failing that, she swallows an entire package of antidepressants - and wakes up three days later, experiences a few hours of hallucinations, but is otherwise no worse for wear. Even her psychiatrist is amazed she survived the overdose, as it ought to have been enough to kill an elephant. Marjane interprets this as a sign that she needs to get her life together.

Azar Nafisi's memoirs confirm this is what happened, with the fundamentalists going after left and right-wing opponents, making them confess to treason before executing them.

He was her proctor for the religious examination and listened to her being completely honest: that she thinks that if God wanted women to wear the veil, they would have been bald and that she doesn't pray in Arabic because Persian is her native language and the best way for her to communicate to God. She passes, and the Mullah says later that Marjane was the only person honest enough about her religious beliefs. Later, when she challenges a religious committee about the Double Standard towards male and female students, he invites her to a meeting, laughs and reassures her that she's not in trouble. Instead, he gives her a challenge: draw a women's uniform that pleases the conservative and the students.

After the neighbor discovers his son is secretly courting Mehri, he demands that Marjane's father do something about it. Marjane's father then has a chat with the boy, telling him to forget about Mehri, since he's a middle class young man who could get into a good school, make something of himself, and marry into a good family, while she's a peasant brought from the countryside to clean and cook, and will likely spend the rest of her life as a maid. After the discussion, Marjane is seen trying to console the heartbroken Mehri.
