Persepolis

این نوشته خورشید خانوم در مورد پرسپولیس را دوست دارم. از این که همه چیز را فقط از یک زاویه نمی بینه، نمی گه اگر داستان زندگی یکی با داستان زندگی من نمی خونه پس یعنی غلوه. این دید را من هم داشتم بعد از دیدن فیلم وقتی برای هندی همراهمون می گفتم که نه این طوری هم نیست، دهه ها را قاطی کرده بودم من نوجوان دهه هفتاد بودم نه شصت، اما دلم نمی خواست این تصویر کشورم باشه. هنوز هم پرسپولیس و سیاهیش اذیتم می کنه اما بعد که به فیلم فکر کردم بیشتر از کلی دیدن ماجرا به عنوان یک ایرانی، فیلم را داستان یک ایرانی دیدم که خوب گفته شده، که با خوانده های من از دهه شصت می خونه و این که طنز داستان را دوست دارم.

خورشید خانوم:
پرسپولیس شاید همه ی قصه ما نباشه، اما قطعا بخشی از قصه ی همه ی ماست. پرسپولیس قصه ایه که باید برعلیه فراموشی خوندش و دیدش، و فکر کرد که چرا اینقدر فکر اینکه "غربی ها" و از ما بهترون ها ببیننش به ما حس بدی می ده. باید فکر کرد چه زخم هایی روی "غرور ملی باشکوه آریایی" ما وارد اومده که از دیدن آینه ای که بخشی از واقعیت های زندگیمون رو بهمون نشون می ده آزرده می شیم و ساتراپی رو متهم می کنیم به تیره و تار نشون دادن فضای ایران.

My impression was quite the opposite, it is essentially a success story. I thought it was very unrealistic, I mean compared to the average Marjan Satrapi is very lucky (as far as I know this is her autobiography), for example her close family are all decent people encouraging her to do the right thing, her gender has its disadvantages but it has the big advantage of keeping her out of the war, her marriage ends relatively peacefully and finally she leaves Iran (in both cases via legal borders for that matter). I mean how many people had the same advantages? In this respect "Santuri" is much more realistic in my opinion.

You complain that the movie shows Iran in a bad light, I think it does the opposite, in two ways. First as I said on a personal level Marjan is successful and her circumstances are not as bad as they could have been (you could make her life a lot worse and it would become just more realistic, "Khorshid Khanoom" makes a similar point in her post) now your argument is that this does not relate to the way the country is portrayed, but I disagree, consider another movie: "Nafaseh Amigh", in which one of the main characters commits suicide by starving himself to death. Now if the background image of our society were the same in both movies would you say that they both depict the country in the same way? Of course you would not! What happens to the protagonist in a story has a symbolic meaning. A second way the movie shows Iran in a good light is the actual description of Iran in the 1980s. As far as I understood it was something like: the system is fucked up but people are decent and there is hope for a better future . In this way Satrapi is liking Iran to Chile and south Korea who had brutal military dictatorships in 1980s. Now my view is a lot darker I do not think that the above description is true anymore and that we would have been lucky if we were born in Santiago.
