So we were outside and these kid came and - and so, you know, I said, you know, his father was from the secret service of Shah so we have to torture him. So, you know, we had - we were in this time that, you know, people that were coming out of the prisons, explaining how they were tortured, they say to us. SATRAPI: The game of the children is very much influenced, you know, with what is happening around them. Yet Satrapi describes herself as a child so caught up in the revolution that she wants to torture an ex-official's son. When Islamic fundamentalists replaced the Shah of Iran, one repressive government replaces another, her family suffers under both. INSKEEP: She portrays herself as a rebellious child who loves heavy metal music, a child whose mother eventually declares, today's Iran is not for you.Ītrapi tells that story in black and white images that make you think of some cartoon film noir. INSKEEP: Satrapi says the movie "Persepolis" is based on her experience during and after the 1979 revolution. Unidentified Man #1: (As character) I'm the monster of darkness… I mean, even if it was all real, I would say, it wasn't.
SATRAPI: I don't like, you know, this notion of reality to tell you the truth. INSKEEP: …and I'd like to know, can I presume that everything in here is true and happened this way? Or is it a memoir in some broader sense? MARJANE SATRAPI (Author, "Persepolis"): Yes. She turned that experience into a graphic novel "Persepolis." It became a movie, which opens today. The writer Marjane Satrapi grew up in Iran during its revolution.
