Lines: 23 On the other hand, many years ago there was a movie called "Z" starring Yves Montand and directed by Costa-Gavras. The reason this works is that the hero (it's based on a true story) had a name starting with "Z" and after his death (killed by his political enemies in the government) his followers refer to him as "Z", which is pronounced "zee", which is phonetically the same as "zei" which means "He lives". At least that was the way it was explained to me--the explanation showed up in TIME, for example. 2 points: 1) I remember seeing David Frost on TV, referring to the movie as "Zed". 2) The movie took place in Greece, so shouldn't he have been called "Zeta"?
