Armenians aren't as culturally centered, for example we don't open businesses dedicated to Armenian cuisine or travel. We are proud, but we aren't to the point where it is a disgrace to marry outside the heritage. We also usually have more intellectual conversations (those of us who aren't in California)
"Why do you love me?" "Because I came alive when I met you." Perhaps if my ex had said this when I asked the same thing, we might still be together. Well that, and if my ex wasn't the anti-Christ. But I digress.... A grown man half-naked in a kiddie pool in a church in front of strangers...that, my friends, is either a fool or a man in love. Actually, they're the same thing, so nvm. Mmmm...John Corbet...That is one sexy piece of man right there...
Greeks marry others as well especially the younger generation. Pretty sure it is same with most cultures where some parents are more old fashioned and want their kids to marry their own kind. Most of my cousins married non-Greeks, Italians for the majority, basically mostly European since similar family structures, culture and Christian religion for the sake of having kids and taking them to church to listen to a priest's midieval philosophy and buying x- mas gifts for everyone.
really dont get what the big deal is...she is 30 years old...move out your parents house and make your own decision...alot of couples have family that dont agree with decisions one makes...thats just life...not all that big of a deal.
People, catholism is not Christianity. Don't Catholics believe in praying the Virgin Mary? Christians believe in worshipping and praying our one and only Lord.
@elvaelvirababe I hope this helps answer your question. The Catholic Church was the 1st & only branch of Christianity until Martin Luther broke away from the church & started his own branch of Christianity; so Catholism is just 1 denomonation of many under the umberlla of Christianity. Catholics don't worship Mary, they honor her 4 being Jesus' mother & occasionally pray 4 her inntercesion which is asking 4 her 2 ask God using her influence as Jesus' mother 2 get our prayers ansewered :)
@strawberrygarden713 No u are wrong... Judaism was the truth relligion... After jesus came they dont accept him.. Then the ones who believed on him are the first christians... read the bible...
@elvaelvirababe My friend don't get me started. Catholics and Orthodox venerate Mary because that is what the ancient Christians did. Do your history. She is not only the Mother of God but Humanity's Mother. and is the highest of the saints because she bore Christ.
Eww all those old ass men they had over for dinner! they old enough to be her dad & they all ugly ass hell !! lol Aiden (name from sex & the city) is gorgeous !!
I think it's AWFUL that families get involved and put so much pressure, guilt & exert so much unwanted influence in situations like this. Believe me, I know from experience! My marriage was strained from day one and it ended in failure due in no small part to family influence on both mine & my ex's side. I'm absolutely ashamed & disgusted for the way my family behaved!
My ex-boyfriend's parents refused to acknowledge me even look at me. I'm Korean They said heaven forbid the two of them get married & have kids; they might look like her.
armenia is the oldest culture in the world. wtf is that fucking greek bitch talking about ''is armenia considered greek'' armenia is the best! GREECE IS ARMENIAN
@Nickname997 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I CANT STOP LAUGHING!!!! thank you!! culture in Armenia! when i had culture you were hanging from the trees! even the name of your country is Greek! search about your country name and you'll see what does it mean! Greece is Armenian!!! AHAHAHA you have good humour in Armenia!
@ToonArmyGreece Yes the word Armenia comes from Greek and some what Persian, but Armenia is what others call us, Armenians call themselves Hay and Armenia Hayastan...in the same sense we Armenians call Greeks ''Huyn".
Armenians and Greeks both are very old nations, no one can really tell which one is the oldest, I personally have a lot of respect towards Greeks because we both have a lot of similarities: like Religion "Orthodox" and we both hate Turks for taking our lands.
@arammasiv23 so? you call yourselves Hay and Greeks Huyn... and Turks call us Yunan or something like that... whats your point? how do you calculate who is oldest? i think it's with... who was civilized first! if your country was founded when humans were still in Amoeba or lizard or ape form you can call your country older? + i dont believe in god and fairytales and i respect humans when they did something in this world... no matter their nationality!
@arammasiv23 oh and i forgot... i have nothing against Armenia... i said what i said cause of that.... Greece is Armenian thing... maybe my country now is a big failure but if you gather all the history of the other 256 nations... they cant reach Greek history not even in the 50% and i am damn proud of it... they even trying to steal our history with the Macedonia thing...Macedonia is was and will always be Greek
Interesting how this movie stereotypes Greeks as proud (well they should be, their ancient ancestors were among the most intelligent) and religious and extraverted. And the Americans are stereotyped as "psht whatever," culturally unaware, and knowing little about geography.
she confused the woman's appearence and/or got the words guatamalan/armenian mixed up. there was no incorrect geographical information stated. a geography fail would be saying something like "guatamala is close to greece" or "salsa dancing is common in armenia"
to answer your question though, somewhat. for instance a failure in ethnicity AND geography would be to say something like "gypsies are native to armenia"
@raigekimaru Lol. Same here. "Guatemala is close to Greece"- yes, geography fail. "Salsa dancing is common in Armenia"-ethnicity fail, because dancing singing, etc. has more to do with ethnicity/culture than physical geography.
Either way, ethnicity is defined by geography, hence the geographical names of countries when describing ethnicity, e.i. Armenian, Greek, Guatemalan. Can't really separate the two.
@hauntedmythcaves hahahah it reminds me of my boyfriend's parents. I am french canadian and my boyfriend is american and the first time I met them they were asking me these weird questions about my language and my background :P It was pretty funny!

The dad's talking about Greek heritage when he upholds Christianity, a religion and a people who hated the Greeks and slaughtered countless Greeks who refused to become Christian. They hated the Greek religion and their culture.
@PriestChristopher : Is it at all possible that you've confused Christians with their opposite counterparts? Is that possible? The family portrayed here is very much like the Fockers and the Royal Tenenbaums.
@PriestChristopher what re u saying?????greeks worshipped the dodekatheo at first but then they became christians.christianity helped us when we had wars wars with turks and germans.u don t know anything about our culture.i m in the philosophy school.i m sorry i m too harsh but u take our history and make movies that don t even match to our history.troy,300,odysseus.
@byehoney1. Dude, when Greece was Polytheistic, that was when there were battles won that determined the fate of Greece. Greece won her greatest victories then. I can tell you don't know your own history. Christianity was forced on your people. I am not overly enthused with the depictions Hollywood gives Greek history or religion either, but the facts still remain. Study up on your history before you try to argue it.
@PriestChristopher i m telling u about the middle ages and the battles in world war 2.these were also great victories.yes they were battles when we were polytheists that determined fate of grrece.i know that since i was in school from 12 years old.i study history all of my life.how nany centuries were we polytheists??answer me that.i m not relating the religion with the policy.here is some history and facts
@PriestChristopher i m not dude.i study history all of my life.yes they were battles that determined fate of greece.if u see well what i m writing i m talking about world war 2 and the middle ages.u should study some history.i just heard from u that we were polytheists when we had battles with ottoman empire.lol....:)...:)....these re the periods.ancient times,byzantium in middle ages and modern greek.thses are facts.
@PriestChristopher whAt???????the greeks worshipped the dodekatheo at first but when apostolous pavlos came and other things happened we became christians.christianity helped us with so man wars,wars with turks and germans who claimed to be christians even though they killed everybody.i m in thephilosophy school.sorry i m too harsh but u don t know anything about our history or culture.u take our history and make movies that don t even match to our history.troy,odysseus.greece,christianity same
@byehoney1. And Christianity did not help Greece defeat the Ottoman Empire, the Gods along with the will and determination of the Greeks to be free is what won the war. If Christianity is the answer to Greece's problems, why is the Greek economy so bad? The Greeks did not turn to Christianity, it was forced on many of them with murder and violence. Where are you learning your history from, the Orthodox Church?
@PriestChristopher : Christiinsanity never helped anybody with anything. It's just another corrupt business. It has nothing to do with what Christ teaches us. It's the epitome of false advertising.
@buzzclick500 i m not saying that christianity will save us now.i m not even going to church,but before blaiming us about our economy,that we don t know history and telling that macedonia is not greek and that we re ethnocentric see what u have done to us and all the nations in the world.a grrek soldier in the battles never went to house and raped women and kill people without being in self defence but u kill people.look at urselves first.we re the worst of the nations,but america is not better
@buzzclick500 i m not saying that christianity will save us now.i m not even going to church,but before blaiming us about our economy,that we don t know history and telling that macedonia is not greek and that we re ethnocentric see what u have done to us and all the nations in the world.a grrek soldier in the battles never went to house and raped women and kill people without being in self defence,because we have filotimo.we re the worse of the nations,but america is not better the landof freed
@PriestChristopher i don t relate my history to orthodoxy.i m not telling u this.i only say that faith gave us strenght.yes our economy is bad and that s our fault nad we don t turn to christianity or believe that christianity will help us but u talk to me.america is like todays nazi.obama is like hitler and not only obama,all ur policies.u kill people.gods helped us to won the war?well the alosis of constantinoupolis was in 1453i n the middle ages and the gods worshipped in ancient years.lol
@byehoney1. America is like Nazi Germany alright, here you can believe what you want whereas there was a time not long ago in Greece when the Christian government jailed people for worshiping the Greek Gods, and long before that, the Christians murdered people for it in Greece. I think your Christianity is like Hitler myself. America is nothing like a Nazi place. And I don't like the way our government and army bullies people either, you blame me when I have nothing to do with any of that. cont.
@PriestChristopher i not taking the side of christianity.i agrre with what u re saying that the christian goverment jailed people.i m saying something else.america is not like nazi place?????????lol.all europe believes that.not only greece.i m not blaiming u personally.but u tell our ecomomy is bad and that christianity will save us with irony.that s why i said these things.before using irony don t tell me not to say all these.i m not talking about bad christian people with authority.
@PriestChristopher the catholic church imprisoned people, catholisism is not christian. it is a pagan, man made religion. it was made up by the romans to persecute true Christians, followers of Jesus Christ. They made the catholic church because they could not get rid of the believers. That is where the queen virgin mary comes from. no where in the bible does it say to worship the human mother of Jesus or that she was born sinless. If that were the case, we wouldn't need Jesus as the Massiah.
@axf48529 Protestants also murdered people for not being Christian. It's not just something Catholics did. Catholics are the original Christians. Without them, there would have been no Bible. They spread Christianity throughout Europe. They were not Pagans. Why would they uproot and overthrown the religion they were apart of? Don't be ridiculous. Catholics did not persecute Christians. They ARE Christians. They believe Jesus is their lord and savior, they believe in the same God you do.
@axf48529 Secondly, you don't need Jesus, and neither does anyone else, because you are not damned. You are a blessed creation of the Gods. There is no boogeyman with horns and a hayfork to be saved from. That's a school child scare tactic to get you to follow the Bible and the Church. It's absolutely ridiculous to say that a God would have to sacrifice himself to himself in order to appease himself.
You respect his mother. He loves his very much.But, he does ask of us to respect her. So please respect his mother. If you love Jesus. You have to also love his mother. Like your mother.
@byehoney1. The greatest ages of Greece were when she was Polytheistic and looked to the Gods for guidance. Marathon, Thermopylae, the Conquests of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Age, and so on. I'm not saying that everything was always 100% awesome, but it was certainly much better than now in Greece. If you honor your Greek history and heritage, you should be upset with the Christian Church. They came into Greece and robbed, ransacked and murdered, to destroy your culture.
@PriestChristopher i know all these. i m not saying that things are better now.things re worse.i m telling u what happened that faith saved us some times,like in the stasi of nika.i m not talking about only ancient times.u ve misunderstood me.i don t believe in bad christian people who have authority.i don t believe that either.i know.but greece didnt robbed,ransacked and murdered in only these times u re saying but all the times,even nowadays.
@PriestChristopher i m saying thAt christianity gave us faith.when we had battles with ottoman empire we weren t polytheists this is in ancient times..x.axaxaxa.lol.i m not learning history from the orthodox church,but i study history in philosophy school.i know what y re syaing from school since i was 12.yes our economy is bad and that s our fault.did i tell u that christianity will save?i don t believe that either.i m telling u the facts.before blaiming us see urselves.u re like todays nazi
@islandsylph idont think so. im thinking they dd it this way bc the dad said they baptize babies in a silver bowl or something. well hes a bit to big to be dunked in a bowl soo....
Im not Greek.... My mom is Albanian my dad is Bosnian and I was raised in Montenegro ( which is right on the Mediterranean ) and they remind me so much of my culture. My sister actually married a Greek and that was one crazy European wedding she had. Two crazy cultures mixed together = fun and <3 ... oh and lots of yummy food :)
Go Toula, go! Whoot whoot. I love this scene. When she pounced on him and he was just startled. And then the lamp breaking. LMAO. I love this movie, I'm not Greek, but I relate to this movie big time. I'm still shocked it didn't get more fame, this is one of the best Cinema ever offered. I swear Hollywood's forgetting that simple, funny, and relatable is enough.
@kaluski no, not that,... :) listen from 1:45 on,... it is just how Americans never have any idea about anything, so they always try nicely conversation, and with mixing up the countries, and is just funny,.. haha,.. for them I was russian, serbian, yugoslavian, italan, you name it,.. haha
hahaha we armenian are so simelair so i watch this whole movie thousend times its typical my family our tradition our grandmom filty turk ahhaha ilove this movie
@AllochGs...i think every culture is like this really. Parents wish and want their children to marry within their own cultural heritage. So it's not peculiar to Greeks.
I think America is probably the country that has the most cross marriages of it's people because of its makeup of immigrants from all places. I think East Indians are the worst. East Indians generally refuse to open up to marry outside their confines.
@kaluski realy when i watch this i feel totaly home believe me this also so armenian to when i saw those wedding when they where making those white thinks for to dream of your fhutere wife things dance music the love for family frends partys and that the father is saying greek greek greek and espacily the grandmother is soooo armenian when she says you filty turk thats so armenian
His parents... talk about BORING! They are about as exciting as pair of dead moths!

@PriestChristopher : Is it at all possible that you've confused Christians with their opposite counterparts? Is that possible? The family portrayed here is very much like the Fockers and the Royal Tenenbaums.

@byehoney1. Dude, when Greece was Polytheistic, that was when there were battles won that determined the fate of Greece. Greece won her greatest victories then. I can tell you don't know your own history. Christianity was forced on your people. I am not overly enthused with the depictions Hollywood gives Greek history or religion either, but the facts still remain. Study up on your history before you try to argue it.

@PriestChristopher whAt???????the greeks worshipped the dodekatheo at first but when apostolous pavlos came and other things happened we became christians.christianity helped us with so man wars,wars with turks and germans who claimed to be christians even though they killed everybody.i m in thephilosophy school.sorry i m too harsh but u don t know anything about our history or culture.u take our history and make movies that don t even match to our history.troy,odysseus.greece,christianity same
byehoney1 11 months ago
@byehoney1. And Christianity did not help Greece defeat the Ottoman Empire, the Gods along with the will and determination of the Greeks to be free is what won the war. If Christianity is the answer to Greece's problems, why is the Greek economy so bad? The Greeks did not turn to Christianity, it was forced on many of them with murder and violence. Where are you learning your history from, the Orthodox Church?

byehoney1 11 months ago
@byehoney1. America is like Nazi Germany alright, here you can believe what you want whereas there was a time not long ago in Greece when the Christian government jailed people for worshiping the Greek Gods, and long before that, the Christians murdered people for it in Greece. I think your Christianity is like Hitler myself. America is nothing like a Nazi place. And I don't like the way our government and army bullies people either, you blame me when I have nothing to do with any of that. cont.

@PriestChristopher the catholic church imprisoned people, catholisism is not christian. it is a pagan, man made religion. it was made up by the romans to persecute true Christians, followers of Jesus Christ. They made the catholic church because they could not get rid of the believers. That is where the queen virgin mary comes from. no where in the bible does it say to worship the human mother of Jesus or that she was born sinless. If that were the case, we wouldn't need Jesus as the Massiah.
axf48529 7 months ago
@axf48529 Protestants also murdered people for not being Christian. It's not just something Catholics did. Catholics are the original Christians. Without them, there would have been no Bible. They spread Christianity throughout Europe. They were not Pagans. Why would they uproot and overthrown the religion they were apart of? Don't be ridiculous. Catholics did not persecute Christians. They ARE Christians. They believe Jesus is their lord and savior, they believe in the same God you do.

@axf48529 Secondly, you don't need Jesus, and neither does anyone else, because you are not damned. You are a blessed creation of the Gods. There is no boogeyman with horns and a hayfork to be saved from. That's a school child scare tactic to get you to follow the Bible and the Church. It's absolutely ridiculous to say that a God would have to sacrifice himself to himself in order to appease himself.

@byehoney1. The greatest ages of Greece were when she was Polytheistic and looked to the Gods for guidance. Marathon, Thermopylae, the Conquests of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Age, and so on. I'm not saying that everything was always 100% awesome, but it was certainly much better than now in Greece. If you honor your Greek history and heritage, you should be upset with the Christian Church. They came into Greece and robbed, ransacked and murdered, to destroy your culture.

@PriestChristopher i know all these. i m not saying that things are better now.things re worse.i m telling u what happened that faith saved us some times,like in the stasi of nika.i m not talking about only ancient times.u ve misunderstood me.i don t believe in bad christian people who have authority.i don t believe that either.i know.but greece didnt robbed,ransacked and murdered in only these times u re saying but all the times,even nowadays.

@AllochGs...i think every culture is like this really. Parents wish and want their children to marry within their own cultural heritage. So it's not peculiar to Greeks.
I think America is probably the country that has the most cross marriages of it's people because of its makeup of immigrants from all places. I think East Indians are the worst. East Indians generally refuse to open up to marry outside their confines.
