The Breadwinner, talks about the struggles of a family after the start of the Taliban. showing what some people had to do to save their family from hunger and death. Parvana sacrificed her identity to help her family and get her father back from jail. While Persepolis, talks about the Iran-Iraq War and the experiences that the writer of the comics had seen first hand. It talks about her, Marji, and the story throughout it. From the beginning to the end.
Both of the films talk about the oppression of women and girls. The governments that start to rise in power are the villains in the movies, they made the girls cover up outside, and couldn’t be seen out alone, not to mention the way the men are being harsh to the women and girls.
The Scenes that I’m going to compare are the ones from when they are telling a story. While both of the movies are animated in a certain style, the story that is told within is different. They both use a paper puppet style of animation, like stop motion. The color pallets are also different. In The Breadwinner, the colors are prominent, while in Persepolis there is no color at all, just black and white.
