Persepolis - The Shah

[caseclosed]

1:09 I love learning history and geopolitics and have all my life, but sometimes it takes time to understand things. When i read this book and saw the movie in high school the Ataturk line went over my head. But now as an adult with more knowledge and having visited Turkey (and having seen the country shut down for Ataturk’s death while I was there) I actually get this line now…

French portrayal of the English is funny as hell

Iranian Ataturk :D I understand how important Ataturk is when i look at countries that rules sharia... Long live secular republics!! Wish luck to people from Iran as a Turk ❤🤍

I can't believe people are actually trying to say this is wrong. While yes this does oversimplify stuff, it's still shows the message

Who would win:


A hundred year dynasty of one of the oldest empires on Earth?


Or one suitcasey boi?

Bizarre how I dont comprehend French, and yet it is obvious to me that the English completely butchered the accent.

J adore l animation en marionette c est tellement bien dessiné et c’est drôle

This seems an awful lot like what happened between the Soviet Union and the Kim Dynasty in North Korea...

I like that american accent to his french. Hearing americans speak a foreign language thinking that the phonics of *that* language are the same as English really cracks me up. PS If you call me an illegal immigrant, you're wrong; I'm actually talking a spanish class.

the king was way better than whats going on now

[MrAbuskeleke]

Funny that the British man speaks French in an American accent! Then again I suppose I sound like that when I speak French....

[emiliobello]

The movie would have been better in Farsi

[adamcheklat]

And there were plenty of other dynasties before the Qajars. There was the Sassanids, the Safavids, the Ashfarids, etc…

Why does the British guy sound like a drunken Californian surfer attempting to speak excerpts from his French 101 class at Olive Garden?

[KyleShiflet]

The Shah was the greatest example of what a political puppet America and England yelled jump he'd ask how high

[Voidcasti]

what a sad story i hope it is not real...

[FyFanNollan]

Just because the Islamic Republic is worse doesn't mean the shah was good.

[somerandomguy]

Don’t you ever make fun of my king. The people who made this propaganda will regret it!! JAVID SHAH

I myself am Iranian and I can personally say that what is shown here does not reflect the truth. This cartoon simply insults and criticizes Islam. it shows that Iran is bad. Of course, today the entire media field is in the hands of the devil America. not to the atrocities of the Jews against the Palestinians, but to demonstrate such things. God knows better who is right and who is wrong. Except for some, the whole world is hostile to Iran. we have such a saying of Hazrat Ali, the dear cousin of Prophet Muhammad. He says that whichever side of the sword points more, know that the truth is there.
