The loving grandmother who tried to guide Marjane without scaring her. The simple act of leaving the house became fraught.Īs Marjane’s story unfolds, we meet the other remarkable people in her life: The uncle who was a political prisoner and exile. She was separated from her male classmates. And the next, veils were required at school. One day, life was the ‘normal’ that she knew. Intelligent and outspoken, Marjane is both the author and our heroine - a fierce 10-year-old when the story opens, grappling with figuring out herself while the world outside her door explodes with violence.
Her story strikes complex emotional chords, both terrible and sweet. If you are reading this and you are under 13, remember the name of this movie, and watch it as soon as you have reached a good age for watching it.This autobiographical graphic novel recounts the author’s experiences growing up in Iran during the 1978 revolution - by any measure, a challenging time to be coming of age. So yeah, this movie, though amazing, is inappropriate for kids under 13. The entire second half of the movie shows countless scenes of teens smoking, (Especially the main character, Marjane.) a part near the end where the main character feels depressed and overdoses on drugs in a attempted at suicide, and finally, there is drinking every now and then, especially in the first half where their country bans alcohol and they have to hide it and only drink it in secret parties.
Lastly, there is the drinking/smoking/drugs, which is possibly one of the worst. There is TONS of violence, as this is a war movie, so you'll see people get shot, a scene near the start when you will see a mess of blood on the ground, and other things.
It's also got some concerning sex related things, including talk about virginity, a scene with a guy in bed with someone, and talk about breasts. Yes, it carries many good messages and some positive role models, but it is packed full with language, including one "f-k", five or six "s-t", and constant other words including damn, hell, bitch, ass, bastard, etc. In my opinion, this is quite possibly the greatest animated film I've ever seen, but don't let that fool you.
