Persepolis

After watching the movie version of Persepolis, I think it did justice to the graphic novel. The movie is animated and keeps the same style as the novel, essentially becoming a moving version of it. One difference, however, is that the movie seemed to a have a darker undertone than the novel, as we could now hear the character's voices and tones. Another few differences between the novel and movie is that many scenes were dropped or in the wrong sequence in the movie version as well creating a few scenes. The movie also was in French with English subtitles, which I actually enjoyed. I do not know French but felt that having the characters speaking a foreign language instead of English helped me get into the movie more for whatever reason.
