"...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?"It's not a big mystery why expatriate Iranians aren't lining up to provoke the mullahs. Even if they're not concerned about their own safetly, expatriates have relatives who still live in Iran. It's a bit naive of you to think an Iranian can show his face in a movie critical of Iranian leadership and there will be no repurcussions for him or his family.
As for the animation--that's not what made Persepolis a good movie. Obviously it was an attempt to bring the graphic books to the screen, but it's the underlying story and yearning for freedom in the face of repression that resonates with the viewer.
