The story of the film is a bit like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, but it does not focus on love lines, but aims to promote feminist ideas; the film’s handling of songs has completely got rid of the traditional "stop the show and sing" method, and the songs have appeared. Very natural, like a dramatic monologue that comes naturally. The film is very delicate in these aspects, in addition to the protagonist’s Electra complex. The film's photography simulates the style of Rembrandt's paintings, Streisand's acting skills and singing skills are excellent, and the songs play an excellent role in psychological description.

Yentl: Why is it that every book I buy, every bookseller has the same old argument?
Yentl's Father: You know why.
Yentl: I envy them.
Yentl's Father: The booksellers?
Yentl: No, not the booksellers, the students. Talking about life, the mysteries of the universe and I'm learning how to tell a herring from a carp.
Yentl's Father: Yentl, for the thousandth time, men and women..."
Yentl: [cuts him off] have different obligations, I know, but...
Yentl's Father: [cuts her off] and don't ask why.
Yentl's Father: [sees her disappointment] Go on, get the book.
Yentl: Thank you, papa!
Yentl's Father: The shutters, darling.
Yentl: We don't have to hide my studying from God, then why the neighbors?
Yentl's Father: Why? Because I trust God will understand. I'm not so sure about the neighbors.
