I have never been into graphic novels or comic books. It has always been hard for me to like because I would tend to get bored. So, knowing we would be watching a film set up in this manner made me a little uneasy. But I was also anticipating that it could help me clear up feelings towards the reading. At times I struggled following the history as well as Marjane. I was glad to find that the film did help clear up the plot as well as the character's feelings and actions. I like film because they put characters in movement and you get to hear and see it play out. But it was helpful reading before hand because the book was vey well done; with that I think the movie is well done too. I would assume she helped with the process of creation. In my opinion, it really hasn't left out anything major. The things that stuck out to me in the book have been mentioned in the film. Sadly, with films it can be hard to stop and reflect unlike reading you can put the book down.
I have enjoyed how the film still uses the work of color or grey scale. It allows emotions to move with the character. It represents Marjane's growing up process. It also can reflect the culture in the background and the events of Iran. Really, I think the scenes follow the book well and enjoy having things explained more. It brings a deeper understanding.
