Is Liking John Wayne's films make one a Pro Bush neo con ?
by Darius Kadivar on Sat Jan 26, 2008 05:12 AM PSTDoes admiring John Wayne's films make one a Pro Bush neo con ?
Or is Dr. Zjivago a pro Tzarist and anti Communist film after being an anti communist book ?
I know Satrapi's political preferences which may differ from mine but that does not take away her talent as an artist ?
I loved her film even if I did not share some historical interpretations. That is the FREEDOM of any Artist or individual.

"That's the bitter gist of "Persepolis," a memoir in an unusual format of one such person, who exiled herself to Paris, festering with memories and resentment of the fact that she was against the shah, too!"
