In Reply to: Persepolis showed the plight of girls in Iran where you can't show real actors w/o risking imprisonment posted by Jazz Inmate on January 10, 2011 at 23:26:27:
...true, the filmmakers couldn't make Persepolis as a live action movie in Iran. But they could have made it somewhere else with live action. If they'd wanted to. But why would they?
Persepolis the movie is based on Marjane Satrapi's famous series of graphic novels of the same name, and since both she and co-director/co-writer Vincent Parronaud are prominent graphic artists/cartoonists (they shared a studio at one time), they chose animation as their film medium - both in homage to the original novels and because they felt it was the best expressive means by which to translate Persepolito the screen.
