“Here tonight we have apple and orange. We are different, but in the end, we are fruit.” When Tula’s father said this at Tula’s wedding, I was amused by the plot. The gentle touch that came to my heart was not only a message from a father to his daughter, but also the cohesive spark of the two generations who bravely collided the two cultures and faced the invisible but stubborn cultural barriers of reality. The plot of the story is very simple. Tula, a girl who grew up in a traditional Greek cultural family, lives with the “traditional mission” of a nation. She finally broke out at the age of thirty and decided to change everything to find her own meaning. With her bravery, she has gained a satisfying career and a true lover, and more importantly, the transformation, understanding and tolerance of her family's traditional concepts. First of all, I saw a part of Greek culture in this film. It may not be the most objective, but it also reveals the more or less ethnic superiority and religious precepts of the Greeks. As an outsider, I am curious and at the same time. respect. On the other hand, the American culture is more tolerant, but compared to the Greek family culture, it seems to be an incorporeal civilization. This can be seen by the male protagonist’s parents’ unintentional words and deeds in the hostess’s home. . The blending of cultures must be catered to by the male protagonist. Accepting the baptism of the Greek religion must also have the understanding and compromise of the female protagonist’s parents. It is not easy to break the deep-rooted "cultural prejudice". Fortunately, both sides His efforts have become a good thing. Secondly, the change Tula is determined to make is also the most cheer up part of the film, as she said: Don't let the past determine who you are, but let the past become part of your future achievements. I call this part metamorphosis. But the original family is still a hurdle in her heart. To her comfort, the "ugly orange" Tula met her "apple" and also has parents who love her. It was her bravery and confession that made her finally accept it. I call this part mature. I really like the last episode of the movie "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. "
