My Big Fat Greek Wedding My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a movie about the heroin , Toula , who is a Greek woman and failed to marry a Greek boy ,falls in love with a non-Greek men .Despite the fact that her family ,especially her father , disagrees, they make every effort and manage to fight for their love, which is what true love should be ----without boundaries , regardless of age ,nation ,race, or whatever…
In the movie ,Toula is expected to marry Greek boy ,make Greek babies , and feed everyone until the day she dies ,which makes me think about women’s status in our old China .Greek women have the role in common with our traditional Chinese women in their family ---they do the cleaning ,cooking ,washing and so on.
Many people say that the United States is a big melting pot for the reason that after immigrants were there for some time, they may become Americanized, and differences gradually melt down .But in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the Greek family keep their own customs and identities. We can conclude that each country has its own culture. Therefore there are many cultures in the world, and they are different but equal .So it is wrong for the racists to think their culture is superior to other cultures, because all cultures have both strengths and weakness .And since the cross-cultural marriage between Toula and Ian Miller is reached, we ought to accept and respect foreign cultures with an open minds and develop our awareness of globalization when we are confronted with the multicultural world.
