Anybody read the graphic novels?
Looks just about as realistic as Beowulf ( I kid), but I like the style a lot

so... (I'm not familiar...)... this is an animated story based on true events about a young girl struggling in a fascist Muslim existence?
... isn't that gonna piss off the Muslim community?
Again... I've yet to do any reading on it... I'm just asking if what I gleaned from the Trailer is accurate.

Persian aristos some in Tudeh ( iranian communist party) welcome revolution over meglomaniac family led by indecisive kingpin with a big army and big oil fed economy. Unfortunately, the revolution didn't want them, moderation, modernity, or the West. Its a revolution run by the sans-culottes who talk but can't read. So long tolerance and benign despotism. Hello 7th century.
They aren't "fascist" despite what the drunken lout Hitchens says- they are religious fundamentalists who could care or less about the economy.
