Welcome to the 70's.
>Going to Berkley.
>Go see this theater where they are playing 'illegal' movies from PRC.
>Hosted and almost totally filled with Iranian kids who are studying here because their parents are paying for everything.
>They applaud Mao, and love everything communist, regularly chanting 'Down with the Shah!'
This girl is friggin middle class, and has a communist for an uncle, and surrounded by friends who think being tortured for your beliefs is a badge of honor. Combine that with a kid's nature to be an asshole to things they perceive as the 'bad guy' and of course you'll see psycho shit.


>>Bitches and moans about living in Europe while her own family is being oppressed in Iran
Probably because Europeans around her bitch and moan about how shitty Europe is until she reminds them she came from a literal warzone.

>>Thinks she's holy enough to actually talk to God Himself and be his prophet
A lot of kids think that, called imagination.

>>Bland art style and animation
That sound more like a personal preference, but whatevs, I'll let you have it.

>>Cringe-inducing montage where the girl sings "Eye of the Tiger" off-key
I forget, when did that happen?

>>Becomes a pretentious lib die hard
Well after coming out of Iran, it's not hard to see why.

You and your kind make me sick. Go watch something simple and colorful, and possibly in English, so your smooth American brain can process it easier.

That montage happened at the end of the movie, when she's preparing for some test. After she sees her prickly legs and freaks out.

That's another thing! The movie's trying to be serious and dramatic, but they also have these cartoon-y moments that don't really fit the tone. They might as well made this live-action, and not an animated movie

Nearly every cartoon has these. It's a way to ease tension so you don't burn out halfway through the film.

ITT : a conservative autist tries to understand a movie where characters have different mindsets. He fails and ends up criticizing the immaturity of the protagonist, who is a child or a teenager for most of the movie.

>>
>>83928995
I wasn't particularly impressed either, especially after the praise that got heaped on it. I feel like a lot of Persepolis' success is because it came at a time when the west was trying to "understand" Islam and Muslims and because it was a story that showed how they could just be normal people. Now of course ISIS and rapefugees have destroyed all dialogue and understanding.

It's not really anything special, just a biography of someone who lived in interesting times rather than actually being an interesting person themselves, but it was just the right book / film at the right time. I can also see it being more of interest for people who know nothing about the history of Iran and learn something from it, however I was interested in politics and history and it didn't really teach me anything I didn't already know.

My wife is Iranian and she wanted to watch this movie with her family. During the scene where the uncle gets arrested my father in law shrugged and said something about how the commies were planning to do that to everyone else and what goes around comes around, really I think the constant lionizing of communists and their retarded beliefs pissed him off more than anything else in the movie.

This isn't you average every day muslim extremists. This is Advanced muslim extremists.
>>
>>83938759
The hope is that the west will demonize all Muslims leaving the more left or moderate ones no choice but to side with ISIS because they're rejected by everyone else.
>>
>>83938809
Well it's not working, as now the 'moderate' muslims are taking it into their own hands.

Fallujah is a sign that at least some of them have figured out they have to do something instead of waiting for the bigger players to step in.

There isn't some huge block of pacifist Muslims out there hiding in the shadows. Muslim's model their life after Mohamed's which was violent and aggressive. There are some sects that are more peaceful towards non-Muslims, but these sects are often targeted by the more traditional majority with violence.
>>
>>83938943
Eh, considering America's Republican presidential candidate is using a proposal to ban all Muslims from the country as one of his big draws, I think it's working to an extent.

I think moderation applies more to 'they don't fucking shoot people for not believing the same shit they do'. Which is most of them.

>>83939400
well that's Sharia: death for leaving and death for converting someone from Islam
>>
>>83939239
Most Muslims do live in the third world. These views are not only held by muslims. Most of these people are poorly educated it makes sense why they hold such backwards views.
>>
>>83940466
And they're stupid, hence why muslims that don't subscribe to these beliefs bend over backwards to leave.

I remember a story about a photographer going over to Iraq, and the moment his guide showed him his apartment, the guide got on his knees and begged him for a visa, simply because he was American.

"yeah guys, its totally reasonable to expect this specific group of humans to conduct suicide bombings and mass shootings if we force them out of our country, or simply dont like them. Hey, it's to be expected, who can help it? But if it were any other group of people, we'd be furious if they did such a thing under the same circumstances! Therefore, we need to love and accept the muslims, or they'll kill us."

I loved the part where her commie relatives were butthurt to find out a former janitor had a low position of authority in the new government. Never met a communist who planned on taking the job shoveling shit for a living after the revolution, every one of them plans on running things and expect the working class they claim to care so much about to stay right where they are. The poor girl was so unaware of herself she put it in her story expecting us to be as outraged as her parents.
