I Don't Watch Many Comic-book Movies. But

People Are So Afraid To Say The Word "comic". It Makes You Think Of A Grown Man With Pimples, A Ponytail And A Big Belly. Change It To "graphic Novel" And That Disappears.

If You Know A Little Bit The Psychology Of Human Beings, You Have To Understand That If You Say Something You Should Not Do, Then Everybody Wants To Do It.

I Wrote The Plot [for The Persepolis ]and Vincent [paronnaud] And I Wrote And Discussed The Shooting Of The Script. Vincent Then Took Care Of The Production Design, The Actual Shooting, And What Was Going On Within Each Scene. It's Very Difficult, Though, To Draw A Line Between Who Did What. Because Vincent Would Say Something, And I Would Add Something, And At The End You Have This Film, Yet No Clear Idea Of Who Did What.

With Animation, If Something Does Not Fit, You Always Have The Time To Change It. When You Make A Live-action Movie, When Your Days Of Shooting Are Over, They Are Over Forever.

The Germans Sell Chemical Weapons To Iran And Iraq. The Wounded Are Then Sent To Germany To Be Treated. Veritable Human Guinea Pigs.
