Persepolis

I saw the movie a couple of weeks ago and have just gotten around to reading the comic book version. It's pretty easy to talk about it. The movie is probably the best medium to medium transfer of anything that I've seen. It kept the feel of the comic book so well it surprised me. I didn't feel like I missed out on anything by seeing the movie. Although I did not make the connection for some reason that this was the authors story and the comic just reinforced everything I heard in the movie. There was very little cut out of the movie so like I said the transition from the movie to comic was incredibly easy. But I still enjoyed reading the comic. I'd say that you're not missing anything if you just see the movie, and that's tough to say for any piece of material that has a written format and a movie format.

Overall, the piece is great, it really tells a story that everyone should read and know about. And the way it tells the story is fantastic, the style and simply everything keep you reading for more. All in all, a great read if you want to read the comic or a great movie if you want to see the film.

Oh and for those of you interested, Persepolis is the capital city of the Persian Empire, and Iran was called Persia up until the 1930s.
