Persepolis-Histoire de l'Iran

[@canpatlar]

Ataturk was a hero... And his principles, still revered by most Turks, include: • Democracy • Secularism • Equality for women • Freedom of religion • Free public co-educational schools • “Peace at Home, Peace in the World” • No dreams of territorial expansion (despite the Ottoman Empire’s former greatness). He was the architect of the greatest war against imperialism, but unfortunately those who came after Atatürk, they betrayed him...

Oh god I love the english accent.

[@hathwell]

+kalkazar13 It sounds like an American accent from the civil war era lol

[@emiliobello2429]

Sounds fake

[@yvelneascie]

Franchement ce film bien que triste est super hardcore! On a vu des extraits en classe et on a tous éclaté de rire!

[@echarts3710]

If Shah really took an example by Atatürk, maybe Iran would have been different today...

[@DaDARKPass]

He did try, but the truth was that Britain would've not allowed it. If Iran say became democratic and decided that the oil in its land was its own then Britain would've prevented that completely.

I love the voice of the Englishman, cracks me up every time!

Was it really english people that intervened? I swore that accent sounded more like an american

[@ausendundeinenacht]

@dawkinstr About AtaTurk He really modernised i heard tuks murmuring he was a bit of a dictator too I do not know the truth really But Women were freed Thats IMPORTANT

[@Leo-ue6xz]

He was not a dictator he was a great great leader but he has killed too many fundementalists and he was right

[@CrawLBoss]

Dude he found a "Republic" on a "Empire".There was no parties back in the day.He was a authoritarian leader but it was necessary for that time and people had no problems with it except radical islamists Ataturk fucked them good

[@efe_aydal]

Technically he was a dictator. But then again, how can you modernize a country who's sunk into religious bigotry, without dictating them what to do?

@@meransg7789 no, he did not. where is your proof? I guess you are a pro-hdp?

[@SirMatthewz]

I like this scene, how they got the whole Chinese puppet thing down, I'll never know, but this is VERY creative animation style.

[@andreavalentinaperez2734]

Ay Dios mío la historia de mi país también...

[@Mistgaetan39]

Est-ce vrai que Reza Shah voulait instaurer une République en Iran ? Pas mal ce film niveau politique ! =)

[@Maréchal_John_Gaming]

Ouais mais il s’est fait monter la tête par les britanniques

[@emiliobello2429]

Do they teach like this in Iran now?

[@SirMatthewz]

@EvilRadiatedMonkey might be, but whatever it is, I like it, but how did they choreograph this scene I'll never know.

[@ausendundeinenacht]

Please learn to type English...

[@EdMcStinko]

Interesting, is the puppet show symbolic?

[@elisabethschmerzler963]

It's probably supposed to emphasize on the fact that Marjane is a young child and ignorant to the real history, so a puppet show, a form of entertainment that's main audience is children, can help teach the basics of the past in an understandable way for her that isn't complicated or confusing as a lecture would be. It also may be an easy way of teaching the audience, who may not know Iran's history as well given the film was made in France, so that they can understand events throughout the film and how the setting affects the characters without being confused by the complicated history.

[@DaDARKPass]

@@elisabethschmerzler963 Although just to remember most things that her father said there was right.

[@elisabethschmerzler963]

DaDARKPass Oh of course! That’s important to remember, all that occurred in the play were real events, no matter the youthful setting it was put in.

[@DaDARKPass]

@@elisabethschmerzler963 But it was true. Reza shah wanted to modernise Iran and make it a democracy, but the British feared that because of the oil company in there possibly being forced out and forced reza shah to well, become shah. However, he still did like his country and wasn't a complete puppet. His son though was just a puppet.

[@elisabethschmerzler963]

DaDARKPass Yeah I know, it’s literally what occurs in the movie and in the graphic novel (although I don’t remember if they use a puppet in it). But I never thought of it representing how the Shah was a puppet

[@samuellai1908]

If the Shah was not chosen, then it's God's plan.
