Another interesting part of the credits of the movie "Z", directed by
Costa-Gavras, was a (necessarily incomplete) list of great contributions
the Greek people has brought to mankind, including the Socratic Method,
the Pythagorean Theorem, perhaps baklava and, at the end, the letter Z.
That was the only direct reference to Greece in the film, although it was
obvious all the time that the events depicted were based on those occurred
there.  The name of the film comes from the fact that, in Greek, the word
pronounced "zee" (as the English name of the letter) means "he lives",
and it refers of course to the guy who was assassinated.
