The Greeks were also upset about "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". They said that the characters weren't at all like real Greeks.
Of course not! The characters were American!
Dumba**es!
I'm just sick of the Greeks getting hysterical over every little thing America and Americans do wrong in their eyes. I am angry about it because Americans who visit Greece are there to relax and have fun looking at all the sights to see and sample Greek cuisine have to tiptoe around in case the Greeks decide to start getting hysterical. It's sickening really.
The REAL Greeks -- lovers of Democracy, Freedom and self realization -- are in America not Greece.
America! "Land of the free and Home of the Brave".
I'm a first generation born American, whose parents immigrated LEGALLY from Greece...
We have a huge community in the U.S. of Americans with Greek heritage... I haven't met the first Greek who didn't LOVE the movie, or laugh so hard they cried or hurt at the TRUTH portrayed.
Almost everyone of us, can NAME a relative who EXACTLY matched each and every character in that movie...
Now then, if the Greeks in Greece were the ones complaining --- then I understand. The life they live in their Socialist cocoon doesn't bear any relationship to the joyous life Greeks have found in America....
God Bless America...
