Just copying from sources in the internet: During a demonstration in front of the Parliament in 2001, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at one of the guardhouses. The wooden construction was engulfed in flames. The Evzone on guard next to it remained in place until an officer gave him the order to move. With a scorched and partly smoking uniform on one side, the Evzone did so. In January 2010, a makeshift bomb was placed 20 meters from where the Evzones guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, at Syntagma Square. Although the police informed the Evzones of the imminent threat, the Guards refused to leave their posts and remained on guard while the bomb exploded. All Evzones are volunteers drawn from the Hellenic Army's Infantry Corps. Prospective Evzones are initially identified at the Infantry Recruit Training Centres during Basic Training. There is a minimum height requirement of 1.87 metres (6 feet 2 inches) to join. You also have to be male, Greek Orthodox Christian, caucasian and with no visible tatoos. It used to be with no tatoos at all.
This is great masterpiece beyond time and generation. I saw this in 2024, I fell in love with this film. Director is genius. All actors are amazing. Heartfelt, deeply moved
I found this movie in 2024. Absolutely beautiful, deeply moved. I searched actors, directors... the final scene, I watched a So many times over and over. Dazzling and tearful. Father, brother, Michael...and Billy. Its wow. One of best movie in my life
The euzones are the elite of the greek army with the hardest training and those who have been taught history in school know that these soldiers with this uniform became the terror and fear of the ottomans in 1821 and they took the lead in the battles of the greeks for their freedom. respect, then, to those who, when they erected the Parthenon, all the other peoples lived in the trees, jumping from branch to branch.
Радоваться этому или нет, но это целое направление: такой тип интерпретации уже стал в первые годы XXI века родом новой театральной классики (ведь настоящая - лишь хореографически своеобразная - постановка на те же изначальные музыку и сюжет : отнюдь не первая на том же материале балета Чайковского)
It's amazing, true ... but I do wish phones/videography were banned and ticketholders could have free copies of the performance. That would be lovely ... you could enjoy the show without some yahoo next to you filming the whole thing.
I first found out about this movie from my aunt when she was ovwr feom the UK and heard my son was dnacing ballet. He could have gone professional except a choereographer put too many dancers o stage and him amd another da cer collidwd doing spins. Both emded up with foot injury that led to them ending their dancing careers
