My view on Iran was partly influenced by Persepolis. In all honestly I don't really know much about Iran or its culture aside from what we see in TV or hear. Yes, there are extremist in Iran but there's also innocent people that have to live in those conditions. Sometime we forget about them because the media only portrayes one side of the story. Persepolis shows the other side of the coin and shows how a young girl has an internal struggle and is confused as in her identity. Makes me wonder how I would react to an environment where you are molded per say into thinking a certain way and then think of the young children that have to go through that everyday of they're life. Persepolis didn't really change my way of thinking it sort of just reminded me that there is more than what the media shows of Iran and its people.
