Persepolis

  1.  I noticed that Marjane showed interest in being rebellious, which seems to explain her taste in punk music and her interests in western influences. Id like to ask if whether or not  these traits would be considered more helpful or harmful in helping Marjane get through life during the war?
  2. In the film, Marjane was constantly moving away from her home in Iran to get away from the war. In doing so, she had to leave her life behind and her family and friends as well in order to get a fresh start in life. During the war, she moved to vienna. Although she returned to Tehran after the war , she ended up moving away again to paris. My question  is if whether or not Tehran would be considered her “real”  home since it was not where she permanently resided within the film?
  3. Im not sure if this was addressed in class, but I’m curious on whether or not this film is allowed, or if there was ever a time when it wasn’t allowed to be shown in Iran , since the film does address/ challenge the government in Tehran ?
