Iran Sugar Caned My Culture


There are a couple of films I have watched recently. One of these films is Persepolis. This is a movie about Iranian culture during the revolution and the war with Iraq. But after this film I really can't say I understand their culture anymore than before the film. I mean we get some insight into the views of the people on the regime, but other than that we don't get a lot of information. I think that it is a good movie to watch. It shows the human condition and the hardships people can face in life. I mean she goes through a lot of pain in life but she is able to bounce back and still find happiness in her life. I think this is a good life lesson to learn. Even when you are going through rough times you can still find love and enjoyment in life. The other film I watched was Sugar Cane Alley. I really enjoyed this film. I thought that this young child went through a lot of poverty and in the end he gets to succeed. I find this extremely motivational. He is faced with many problems and he confronts them head on. Then powers through them. This film really opened my eyes to the problem we have today that we need to feel with today. If anyone would ask me what movie they should watch I can definitely tell you I will be recommending Sugar Cane Alley.
