A highlight of Persepolis (which is really good)
Actually, the clip is funnier in the context of the movie, where it signals her emergence from a deep post-breakup depression. Fun Wikipedia fact: “In 1984, singer/comedian “Weird Al” Yankovic wrote & recorded a parody of Eye of the Tiger called: The Rye or the Kaiser (Theme From Rocky XIII).” I’ll have to check that one out. Love Weird Al.
A note to my literally dozens of regular blog readers: I am soon traveling to a place without DSL connection (in Maine), so the blog will probably be on semi-hiatus for July.
