Warm and sweet conflict

This movie is different from what I imagined. I didn’t watch the typical comedy before I saw it. I realized that it’s not the case at the beginning. The movie enters into a slow narrative, but the more I watch it, the more I like it, even though it’s about culture. The collision of ideas, but wrapped in strong emotions, whether it is family affection or love, is so touching, making all the different opinions so insignificant, and only warmth is flowing throughout the body.
To say that this movie can achieve good results at the box office is really a bit unexpected. There are no commercial elements at all. Not only is the actor not big, but the heroine is not beautiful at all, there is no hilarious material, no tortuous plot, no The superb technology has captured the hearts of every audience from the shallower to the deeper. The attraction of the film is probably the truth. Later, I learned that it was indeed an autobiographical story written and starred in. Love has the beauty and ugliness. After experiencing happiness, I know the beauty of fate. The passage of love is simply perfect, from the love at first sight to the nostalgia for getting along, from the firmness of marriage to the ending of happiness. The simple and true scene of marriage proposal almost made me cry. Happiness is really simple, but I can have it and cherish it. But also seriously understand.
The Greek family in Tula is so cute. Although noisy and not even free, there is love and care from the heart everywhere. There are no misfortunes in the movie, but life is not as good as you want. When the encounter is not going well, you will know how lucky it is to have such a family who loves you so much and cares about you. Tula’s father is so funny. Although he stubbornly believes that the country, civilization, and people of Greece are the greatest, he finally accepted the choice of her daughter to marry a foreigner, and devoted all of it to her daughter to live well—of course, In the end, the big house is the neighbor's own home, which is indeed a very interesting scene at the end.
The Greeks' emphasis on family and ethnic groups and the concept of marriage and childbirth are very similar to those of us Chinese. It seems that ancient cultures also have similarities. However, the blue and white floats that highlight the colors of Greece really don't look like wedding cars, haha.

    Super love, super love! The male protagonist is the first love of Sarah of Sex n City (a man who loves dogs and carpenters)! The character of the Greeks is really like the Chinese!
