As an old black and white movie, if it is not as fast-paced and compact as Hitchcock, it is generally not easy to try. But this film endures the boring few minutes at the beginning, and the later viewing experience is still good.
Although it is a form of pseudo-documentary, it is more like a fable for the adult world. Like a chameleon, the protagonist becomes a black man when he sees a black man, and a doctor when he sees a doctor. To look more gregarious, talk to people and talk to ghosts. In the end, he even forgot who he was.

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.
