Black humor, satire and absurdity in the form of falsehood

Zelig lost himself in order to integrate into the whole, but he became the focus of public opinion. Finally, he returned to normal, but he suffered various accusations. When he fell ill again, he made a miracle and leaped across the Atlantic. People's attitudes changed again. He became a hero again

People's attitudes change so drastically in synch like a person is it only Zelig who is sick? People hide their thoughts for their own safety, find ways to make themselves like their surroundings Have no memory of what happened before like it wasn't in their lives at all

The film format is also very unique. A fictional story is narrated in the form of a documentary. The black and white photos are blurred and the recording. The formal interview is unique and interesting~

Zelig quotes

  • Leonard Zelig: [in a hypnotic trance] My brother beat me. My sister beat my brother. My father beat my sister and my brother and me. My mother beat my father and my sister and me and my brother. The neighbors beat our family. The people down the block beat the neighbors and our family.

  • Leonard Zelig: I'm 12 years old. I run into a Synagogue. I ask the Rabbi the meaning of life. He tells me the meaning of life... But, he tells it to me in Hebrew. I don't understand Hebrew. Then he wants to charge me six hundred dollars for Hebrew lessons.
