Comparison Between The Book and Movie "Persepolis" Today, I'd like to compare the movie and the book "Persepolis". I'm very suspect to do this comparisons because I'm passionate about books. Most of the times I prefer books than movies. And for Persepolis wasn't different. I didn't see the funniest part of the book in the movie. How is it possible the funniest book's part doesn't appear in the movie? Before, it's good to know that "Persepolis" is a graphic novel and describes the history about a Iranian girl, Marjane, in 1979 (time of Iranian Revolution) I laughed so much when the Marjane's father went to her school to argue with female principal about any situation that I don't remember well. So, during the discussion the female principal said something like this: - Don't forget to send his daughter wear the chador correctly... without any hair appearing in your head... So the father said: - If hair is so sexy and so exciting to the point of having to hide them, why don't you shave your mustache? I laughed so much! Because of that and much other things, I prefer the book than the movie.
