Unstoppable deep affection

As the heroine Tula said: My family is big and loud but they're my family. We fight and we laugh and yes, we roast lamb on a spit in the front yard. And where ever I go, what ever I do they will always be there. (My family is huge and noisy but they are my family. We quarrel, we laugh, and, yes, we only barbecue in the front yard. But no matter where I go, no matter what I do , They will be there to support me.)

Little warm family films, maybe cultural differences, maybe the family concept of ordinary people in the United States, it seems that children will grow up and have their own lives, and they will slowly leave their families. , At most, it is also contact with relatives. As for cousins, cousins, seven aunts and eight aunts, there is no interest connection. A few sheep are enough to eat.

In this world where personal advocacy is everywhere, the small federal country Greece is different. It has a long history and culture, and has a unique geographical location. All these make the Greeks very proud. The destruction of Greece by a series of wars in modern times has enabled the Greeks to better understand how to respect and protect their cultural traditions. For example, the heroine’s father, every English word must be broken out with a Greek root. Even the Japanese pronunciation of Japanese kimono The word KIMONO must be put on the Greek word winter forcibly. Well, in winter, the weather is cold, and you have to wear a kimono. It seems that KIMONO evolved from the Greek root. After the strong word, he smiled and sent his daughter to the Greek school. A little humor unique to Greece. In the school class, the teacher teaches arithmetic. NICK has 9 sheep and MARIE has 1 sheep. When will they get married. The status of "marriage" in the hearts of Greeks can be imagined. The best way for a Greek woman is to marry a Greek boy, have a bunch of Greek babies, and then feed everyone.

It is a pity that the real son of the female pig in the film is not a Greek. This is no less than an earthquake in the entire Potocaros family. The conservative and kind father and the rational and careful mother are always nagging endlessly. Auntie. Fortunately, in the meeting of the future son-in-law under strong pressure, after the preliminary review of each family member, it was considered a success.

True love finally defeated everything, and the male protagonist went to do a typical Greek baptism for the female protagonist and became a Greek church. Christians. Everything is available, only the east wind owes it. After busy and flustered preparations, a large-scale Greek wedding began. 27 cousins ​​and cousins, cousins ​​of cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins, were full of seats in the church. At the wedding ceremony, the hostess's father generously gave the couple a house.

Music, blessings, dances, hugs, and a wonderful speech on "The Marriage of Oranges and Apples", the father could not help but happily shed tears, reflecting that Greece. The special care of the big family, the deep and constant family affection, proud of being a Greek, proud of being a member of the big family. Perhaps it is this kind of strong affection that moved the American people who were hit hard by 9/11. Let the soul be comforted, so that it is the reason for the big sales in the United States~~

Small cost, big joy, highly recommended~~~
