Absolutely tears

The movie "The Violinist on the Roof" is probably one of the most heartbreaking movies I have ever seen. The deep sufferings of the Jewish people are interpreted by music and people’s ridicule, but you can clearly hear their inner sighs and helplessness, the deep sadness that cannot resist their fate, but the ending is very meaningful, and it is so forced. Wandering around away from home, they don’t seem to be forced into the abyss of despair. You can feel their potential for survival, their resilience to resist hardship, and the vitality of those girls who pursue love and pursue a new life. The tenaciousness to change their own destiny is very touching. .

Tevye: [after seeing Chava and Fyedka talking] What were you and he talking about?
Chava: Nothing. We were just talking.
Tevye: Good.
[walks away]
Chava: [chasing after Teyve] Papa! Fyedka and I... We've known each other for a long time...
Tevye: Chaveleh, I would be much happier if you remained friends from a distance. You must not forget who you are and who that man is.
Chava: He has a name, Papa.
Tevye: Of course. All creatures on Earth have a name.
Chava: Fyedka is not a creature, Papa. Fyedka is a man!
Tevye: Who says he isn't? It's just that he's a different kind of man. As the Good Book says, "Each shall seek his own kind." In other words, a bird may love a fish, but where would they build a home together?
Chava: The world is changing, Papa!
Tevye: [rounding on her] No!
[calmly]
Tevye: No. Some things do not change for us. Some things will never change.
Chava: We don't feel that way.
Tevye: We?
Chava: Fyedka and I... We want to be married.
Tevye: What? Are you out of your mind? Don't you understand what that means, marrying outside of the faith?
Chava: But, Papa...
Tevye: I said no! Never talk about it again. Never mention his name again. Never see him again. Do you understand me?
Chava: [quietly] Yes, Papa. I understand you.
