Seven years plaster

Life is full of paradoxes: for example, dictatorships have killed thousands, millions of people… but dictators and their “servants’ can be very stupid indeed: so stupid that we still do not understand how they managed to do what they have done!
Of course comedies tend to focus on those paradoxes. But this video very funny anyway: in Greece, between 1967 and 1974, during the cold war, during the military right-wing CIA-backed Colonel’s dictatorship, when red was just the colour of the eastern communist enemy!
Well just watch it if you want to know… This actor is simply great. And not only because we have the same name: Θανάσης. The title of this movie is:

Ο Θανάσης στη χώρα της σφαλιάρας,

that is

Thanasis in the land of the slap!

And to beat people was probably the only thing these guys could do…
