[Learn the courage of Tula, learn the tolerance of people in the play]

This is not a touching movie that makes you cry, nor is it a movie that makes you laugh with your thighs.
Although the tears that will touch you at a certain moment are looming, and although a certain line of dialogue will make you laugh, it is really not an emotionally fluctuating movie. It just makes people feel warm and happy. Up.
This feeling is my favorite.
Simple plot, but I feel a lot.
Tula's courage, the courage to change the status quo is worthy of everyone to learn. Tula, who is tirelessly pursuing his own life, is charming and charming.
Ian, for Tula can do anything, just because he loves her, willing to accept some inexplicable requests, and strive to integrate into Tula's family.
The final marriage between the hero and heroine is the effort of the two families, the power of love, not only the love of Tula and Ian, but also the love of Tula and Ian's respective families.
This is a film that reflects cultural conflicts. Tula comes from a Greek family. From a young age, he was taught three things that Greek women should do in their lives: marry a Greek man, give birth to a bunch of Greek children, and then feed them.
Tula’s father is a typical cultural successor. He enthusiastically introduces Greek culture to everyone. The spread and protection of Greek culture is worthy of respect, although sometimes it seems verbose.
If every member of a nation has such a passion for the culture of that nation, then this nation must be strong.
Enthusiasm, noisy, and unity are the characteristics of the Tula family. There are a large family of more than 30 people who consider each other for the sake of each other. In the process of watching, I opposed the stubbornness of the Tula family, but at the same time I envied such a harmonious big family, united incomparably.
Although Ian is not a Greek, and even though cultural differences make everyone oppose their marriage, even though they all find it incredible, as long as I try and try, there is nothing to confuse people.
Because of tolerance and concessions from one side, sentient people will eventually become family members, and the world will become harmonious.
