"A Name is a Name" : συζήτηση με τον σκηνοθέτη

Η ανταλλαγή μηνυμάτων με τον Ισλανδό σκηνοθέτη συνεχίστηκε για λίγο, αν και ο ίδιος αποφεύγει να συζητήσει σοβαρά, προφανώς επειδή εκτελεί (με το αζημίωτο) διατεταγμένη υπηρεσία. Μου λέει ότι θέλει να βρεθούμε από κοντά αντί να συνομιλούμε στο facebook. Του είπα, την επόμενη φορά πουθα πάει στα Σκόπια, ας κάνει τον κόπο να έρθει και στη Θεσσαλονίκη, 2 1/2 ώρες δρόμος είναι. Το τελευταίο μου μήνυμα είναι το εξής. Σας το στέλνω γιατί νομίζω ότι με απλό τρόπο αποδεικνύει τη "βουλγαροσύνη" των "Μακεδόνων" χωρίς πολλά και δυσνόητα ιστορικά στοιχεία:

Your friend, PM Gruevski's political party is the VMRO-DPMNE. But did he tell you that VMRO started its days as an ethnic Bulgarian organization whose goal was the independence of geographical Macedonia and its consequent annexation to Bulgaria?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Macedonian_Revolutionary_OrganizationThe Ilinden uprising of 1905 against the Turks was a Bulgarian national uprising. Look at this banner, in which a lady bears a Bulgarian flag:http://www.freewebs.com/edlund/zname_mak_svoboda_ili_smart.jpgThe inscription: "Macedonia: Liberty or Death" is written in Bulgarian. The FYROM Slavs have always considered themselves to be ethnically Bulgarians. "Macedonian" always indicated geography, not ethnicity. Just like you could be -say- a Westfjords Icelander. This does not make being "Westfjorder" a different ethnicity.Need more proof?Here's a picture from WW II Skopje. Your "Macedonian" friends greet the Bulgarian army with portraits of the Bulgarian king, Hitler, and a big sign reading in Bulgarian: "One people, one king, one kingdom":http://www.i-macedonia.com/blog/files/FYROM_NAZI.jpgThe FYROM Slavs were conditioned to de-bulgarize themselves by communist Yugoslavia, who wanted to weaken their ties to Bulgaria. Also, just as was the case with the former East Germans who were told -and believed!- that they were never Nazis, the FYROM Slavs were told -and believed!- they were never Bulgarians.All of them? No.Tens of thousands of FYROM citizens apply for Bulgarian citizenship, led by former FYROM PM Ljubco Georgievski, who openly says that FYROM Slavs are nothing but Bulgarians in denial. Are you familiar with him? He was a PM of the FYROM, after all, not just any FYROM citizen. Ask your friend, PM Gruevski to tell you about him:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ljub%C4%8Do_GeorgievskiLast but not least, I have seen Pasko Kuzman in your movie's site. You can't seriously have included that fellow in your movie, have you? He is not a real archeologist, he is the "I -know-where-Atlantis-is" kind of nutcase! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasko_KuzmanYou can't possibly consider the "scientific" views of a man who wears three watches on his left wrist. Kuzman calls the watches "time machines." With one he says he travels to the Bronze and Neolithic ages, with another to the future, and with the third - his "archaeological watch" with its special sensors - he makes his finds. According to Kuzman, "If it beeps twice it is silver; three times and I've struck gold." This guy can be fun, but he is a buffoon.
