Re: any political viewings. Won't matter one bit. Current Iranian officials will still hate it and call for it's disposal. American officials will barely pay attention to it, or those who do (radical Christian right) will make it a calling for Bush being right about wanting to go to war with Iran in order to 'free' the people, like they did with Afghanistan and Iraq *sigh* Loved the books, can’t wait to see the film.

Excellent. In fact, better than I was expecting. Such a great style to translate into animated form. I caught a screening of Persepolis at the the Toronto film festival last month. Excellent.
