I am neither a Jew nor a religious believer, so I don't understand or feel this movie as deeply as they do.
It's just that when I watch it, I often think of another movie "Dancer in the Darkness", which has similar artistic techniques and genres. But I feel that "Dancer in the Darkness" is more endearing than this movie, and I feel that the artistic expression is much more mature. Of course, if you don't like watching musical-style movies, you'll have to watch almost one.
Movies with historical themes, no matter what the way of expression, will always give the audience a sense of heaviness. What I don't understand is why the movie is called "Fiddler on the Roof", isn't it good to call something like "The Jew's Daughter" and "The Daughters"? Can't figure it out. The meaning of the violinist itself is unclear. If it's just for us to listen to music, that's fine.
Music is really good.

Fiddler on the Roof quotes

  • [Hodel is leaving on a train for Siberia]

    Hodel: Papa, God alone knows when we shall see each other again.

    Tevye: Then we will leave it in His hands.

  • [Perchik and Hodel have announced their engagement]

    Tevye: He loves her. Love, it's a new style... On the other hand, our old ways were once new, weren't they?... On the other hand, they decided without parents, without a matchmaker!... On the other hand, did Adam and Eve have a matchmaker?... Well, yes, they did. And it seems these two have the same Matchmaker!
