Marjane in motion

I feel as if the movie did an excellent job of portraying every single aspect about Marjane. It may have even done a better job than the book itself. Usually it is nowhere even near close to that being the case, but since the book was a graphic novel in the first place, it seems as if the movie had to do a better job, because it puts more motion into play. This leads to many more observations being made about characters reactions and emotions.
Not only does it lead to more observable characters, but now their emotions dont have to be exaggerated as much in order to get the point across. What I mean by that, is that in graphic novels and comic books the emotions on the characters face, and their over all posture presents their feeling to the reader. Usually, in order to assure that it is clear what emotion the character is feeling at the time they make their expressions extreme. In the movie however this is not necessary, because the characters can show full movements, giving them opportunity to be more natural and subtle about how they actually feel while still easily showing what's actually going on in their minds.
