    In this video, Chakiris is 74 years old. How on Earth someone can look that young/good in that age? Amazing.

    Rouvas: "I don't think all Greeks are talented" Guys don't get mad, he speaks from personal experience.

    If the only Greek contribution to cinema were George Chakiris, it would still be the greatest contribution of any country!

    Greeks must unite and get more organized in the USA. We must look to the future and we must produce great civilization again. This is our destiny.

    I was married to a Greek for 11 years but he treated me very badly. However I learned the language properly and did not find it hard .I still love the country, the culture, the food, the climate and just out about everything else. If I had been more discerning I might have found a better man and still been wth him today .

      +Rosalind Mercer You learned Greek and you dIn't find it difficult?
      What's your f...ing I.Q.? 211?

    • @rohansrider
      @rohansrider Před 8 lety +5

      +johnjanos1 Not really. Once you get your head around the alphabet, the diphthongs and the fact the subjunctive is weird and substitutes the infinitive, it's okay.

    No doubt the late Telly Savallas would have been interviewed if he were still alive. Great actor, pity he is no longer with us.

    • @Celebrategreece

      Telly was wonderful. I once had Easter dinner with he and his family and we talked golf, among other things.

    • @Celebrategreece

    Most of the interviewees know nothing about Ancient Greece. The greatest Greek filmmaker said “I say to myself that I could have made a career anywhere, but I have chosen to speak in the same words that were spoken by so many who preceded me. Greece is more than a geographical locale to me. It’s a spirit, a culture, and when I’m disgusted with present-day Greece - the loss of spirituality and generosity - I go back to those words said many, many years ago.”

      Johnny Marvéll Thanks for Subscribing. You can see many of these Greek (and not Greek) celebrity interviews atczcams.com/play/PL6B065C0316A46ED8.html

    I don't think Greek cinema is dead (at least in the diaspora) as the two Best Picture Golden Globes were awarded to an American-Greek (Alexander Payne; The Descendants) and a French-Greek (Michel Hazanavicius). I told the Minister of Tourism/Culture, the old Athens airport should be turned into a major studio facility (plane hangers can turn into sound stages) thus creating 1000's of new jobs, new influx of capital and allow Greece to become the Hollywood of Europe (year round good weather).

    Greece - thavmasia!, Poli oraio. The best place and so good looking! Pity that things are so dire there right now. I hear it's mega expensive to go on holiday there. £4 for a beer.? They also speak well too. Learn the language it's fascinating and noty that hard.

    @marykfilms Před 10 lety

    Thank you. This was cute, but Instead of bragging about ourselves, how about we promote the Faith. Please see my promotional shorts and trailers in many different languages, including Greek, to promote my upcoming documentary on the triumph of Orthodox Christianity (filmed in Republic of Georgia) on You Tube under 'marykfilms.'

  • @kyriakos221003
