Final Blog - Is Persepolis a true story?

1. Summarize the story to which you listened and provide a link to that story. Then write three follow-up questions that you would like to be able to ask the person(s) telling the story.

 Marjane Satrapi, explained that her book/movie Persepolis is not 100% autobiographical, she says it's not a documentary about her life, and that not everything on the script is exact wording. Although the book/movie is still based on her life experiences, Marjane believes that even documentaries are fictionalized most of the time, so the story would be interesting. She explains that when she left Iran both times in 1984 and 1994, and how she would hear rumors about Iran. She would say "this is not like this or that is not like that" she would say something like, it does exist but it's not the only thing that happens in Iran. She wrote the book five years after she left Iran the second time, she just wanted to turn the book into a movie adaptation.
The follow up questions I would ask Marjane are the following: If you could change one thing about the movie what would it be? What made you produce the movie even though you did not approve of it? Why did you decide to make the movie black and white for most of the scenes?
