Oww and the cool thing about this cartoon is that Sean Penn dose one of the voices in the English version

I finally saw "Persepolis" last night. It is an incredible movie. The animation is stunning, touching, cute, mesmerizing. I cannot believe it was all done by hand.
I mentioned to Sahand, my Persian co-host on my radio segment, that I would be watching the movie. He said he had read the book but couldn't watch it. Now I understand why. It's painful enough for an American to watch; I can't imagine how it made you feel to watch it.
The questions that came to my mind many times were: Is the government still that oppressive? Do women still have to be covered when in public? Are parties tolerated now? In other words, has the situation improved?
I highly, highly recommend this movie & am grateful to Marjane Satrapi for sharing her very personal story with the world.
My favorite quote from the movie was when grandma said to Marjane: "You've grown so much you can almost grab God by the balls."
