more animation fans should check this film out.
its a great film(and im not suprised that when it was nominated for best animated feature, it lost)
the film presents a story about a young girls life in war and onwards.so the characters are already great because you understand every action they do, trying to find joy in every place they can even if everything around them is miserable.
also the film is suprisingly funny.
the only complaint i have is that it did become very slow near the end and i don't know why but it did.
i've had my eye on this film for a long time and its worth the wait and it definitly makes me want to watch more animated movies from non english countries.
languanges that you can't understand are simply beautifull, almost every languange can be beautifull.
you don't know what they are saying but you don't have to.

In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A formally striking animated memoir that traces one woman's political awakening from childhood idealism through disillusionment, as revolution gives way to repression. It's both deeply personal and urgently political, a portrait of how systems can betray their own promises.
