      A good movie that touches my heart

      1. The Jewish tradition allows them to never be extinct, and there is always hope, no matter where they live.

      2. As sung in Taivi's song, if I were a rich man, I would ask the pastor three steps backwards. This is a psychological stage that many Christians have. It is a glorious thing that I have enough wisdom to be able to ask such authority as a pastor. The song says that if I were a rich man, I would be able to discuss and study the Bible with people in church seven hours a day....

      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.

      poor person must have something mean

      This is a sentence I didn't like since I was little, but it definitely makes sense.
      Don't talk about music, because his music is too famous, and don't talk about love, because he has said enough. I'm talking about "God's elect". From the standpoint of an atheist, if you feel that I lack faith, don't follow along. We have different ideologies and we don't have a common language.

      Fiddler on the roof

      His friend took the violin to learn the violin under his whim, and in the end he was the real violinist.
      His friend imitated him to play the violin on the roof. His friend played the violin well. He was a real-name violinist. In the end, why did the boy who really loves playing the violin on the roof play the violin on the roof?
      Because no one has ever seen him play the violin on the roof, even if it's just a short time outside, there are very few opportunities to play the violin....

      The three-hour musical is really long, but compared to the 2.5-hour musical, it is fuller in terms of plot and character description. Papa is really cute. He shouted the tradition in his mouth. Every time he was angry with his daughters, he immediately compromised. The values ​​conveyed by the film are very interesting. Tradition often has more room for negotiation and more humaneness, while politics is full of ruthlessness. An order is above the friendship between people, and even aliens are...

    Movie quotes

    • Men: [singing] And if our good fortune never comes, here's to whatever comes.

    • Tevye: And until your golden day comes, Rev. Perchik, How will you live?

      Perchik: By giving lessons to children, Do you have any children?

      Tevye: I have five daughters.

      Perchik: [Looking to Tevye in disbelief] Five?

      Tevye: Daughters...

      Perchik: Girls can learn too, girls are .

      Mendel: A radical!

      Tevye: Oh, go away!

    • 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.
