Diary of 06 - 10 March 2008
11:31 PM The Three Little Pigs Once upon a time there were three little pigs and the time came for them to leave home and seek their fortunes. The first little pig wanted to build his house out of straw because it was the easiest thing to do. The second little pig wanted to build his house out of sticks. This was a little bit stronger than a straw house. The third little pig wanted to build his house out of bricks. One night the big bad wolf, who dearly loved to eat fat little piggies, came along and saw the little pigs in the house . He said "Did you finish the right decision?" I Went to see Persepolis This week I had the joy of seeing the Oscar nominated film PERSEPOLIS which is based on the life of author Marjane Satrapi. The film was both poignant (without becoming emotionally manipulative) and humorous. Other than the excellent writing, the French film score by Oliver Bernet was the other reason I loved the film. The music is definitely more Parisian than Persian or Middle Eastern. The instruments used on the soundtrack ranges from the cello to the zarb. The score captures all of the emotions that Marjane experiences as both a child and as an adult from joy to sorrow. Olivier's music never gets heavy handed and bombastic like his western peers have a terrible habit of doing with their music. His music never detracts or overwhelms the film. Most of the songs are instrumentals but there is one song with vocals. It is the hilarious but surprisingly good cover of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" by Chiara Mastroianni (who voices Marjane in the film). I was surprised this not the horrible version I heard in the film (which I am guessing was sung by Marjane herself or maybe Chiara purposely singing off-key). Chiara has a nice, whispery voice. The music itself is a far cry from the bombastic guitar driven sounds of the original version but rather this light, airy acoustic track. There isn't anything bad I can say about the soundtrack to my new favorite film. I am currently reading the complete version of PERSEPOLIS so listening to the soundtrack while reading the book brings back fond memories of seeing the film. Fact Persepolis is a 2007 award-winning animated film based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel of the same name. The film was written and directed by Satrapi with Vincent Paronnaud. The story is a Bildungsroman about a young girl coming of age against the backdrop of the Iranian Revolution, and shows how her family's hopes for change were slowly dashed as the Islamic fundamentalists took power, drastically curtailing personal liberties, forcing head coverings on women and imprisoning thousands; the story ends with Marjane as a 21-year-old expatriate. The title is a reference to the historic city of Persepolis. The film won the Jury Prize at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival[1] and was released in France and Belgium on June 27. In her speech on receiving the Cannes award, Satrapi said "Although this film is universal, I wish to dedicate the prize to all Iranians."[2] It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The film was released in the United States on December 25, 2007 and is confirmed to be released in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2008. 2007 Original Soundtrack - Persepolis Audio CD (January 15, 2008) Original Release Date: June 22, 2007 1.
