I mean, that was, you know, that - we were the generation, you know. But that's just - that is the way it was, you know. INSKEEP: People using it as reins for a horse going on and on. Somebody's saying, oh I'm the monster of darkness, pulling the veil over her face. Little girls running around pulling off their veils saying it's too hot. INSKEEP: You actually have an illustration very early in the novel that became the movie. I mean, I - as I remember, I'm very much playing with this veil and everything. SATRAPI: Well, you know, when I was in my school - I mean, the big change was that, you know, we had to put the veil on our head, but this was not a big deal. INSKEEP: And what was it like simply in your schooling going from pre-revolutionary times to post-revolutionary times? What happened to you? What was that transition like as - you would've been in 1980, how old? That is - we wanted to eat - make him eat garbage. You know, the whole feeling of revenge, and he's going to be whipped on his head, but before he actually put this in his mouth and chew it three times. So that was the game because we just reproduced what we heard and, you know, we… 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.

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.
