Man Is the Head of the Family
I watched a movie last night to make sure I didn’t fall into sleep before 9.00pm. The movie is “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. It’s a simple story about a Greek woman falls in love with a non-Greek and struggles to get her family to accept him. For me, the movie is funny and nice as I need not to “use my brain” to watch it like The Lord of the Rings. Sorry…
I like the Greek woman’s wise mum a lot. She always follows her husband’s instructions and makes her husband thinks that he is great. When the daughter complained about her dad, “Ma, Dad is so stubborn. What he says goes. ‘Ah, the man is the head of the house!’” The mum replied, “The man is the head, but the woman is the neck. And she can turn the head any way she wants.”
It made me recalled a movie I watched when I was a teenager. Do you remember a Hong Kong movie called “I Have a Date with Spring”? There is another smart lady in the film too. She is莲茜, she said, “对男人就得要像放风筝一样,它喜欢高你就放它高,它喜欢远你就放长线,最重要的是这条线始终在你手上,你懂得什么时候拉拉它,扯扯他,放放他,控制得住就算高招。”
Ladies, hope we all appreciate this wisdom of life.
