Getting married is really ridiculous

I don't want to talk in depth about what a beautiful love at first sight, but just talk about my own views on the first half of the plot. At the beginning of the movie, the girl confessed: her father said three things a good Greek girl should do to marry a Greek, have a Greek child and cook until she grows old; when she asked her mother why she wants to learn Greek , Her mother told her to write to her mother-in-law in the future; when she met love, like her father wanted to go back to school and continue to study, her father told her that you should get married "you look so old". It seems that everything is for marriage and setting up a family, which I find ridiculous.

Isn’t it a sad thing not to get married at the age of marriage? To be honest, I can hardly imagine that in the future I will have a group of people to tie up my life and divide up my time. Husbands and wives will quarrel, and children need to spend a lot of time training, and when necessary, they have to deal with the relationship with each other's parents. In the end, you will find that you are too busy and have no self. This is more sad than not getting married.

In this film, the parents' attitude toward their sons is completely different from that of their daughters, which also reflects the social status and role of women. Why do girls feel ashamed and embarrassed before they get married at a certain age, but boys don’t. Whether women can live independently and financially independently, I think it is completely possible, so there is no need to be forced or forced to talk about marriage at the age of marriage.

Of course, I don’t think it’s necessary to reshape yourself for the sake of your lover. If you love yourself, you should take care of yourself when you are alone. There is no need to change yourself for love to please the other person.
