60 of 183 · most liked firstMy white spouse grew up in Boston a little red-headed Muslim boy, thinking of "Fiddler on the Roof" as the closest thing to a Muslim movie. This is a big moment for Muslim Americans. Hate on us all you want! We'll enjoy this moment and we'll relish the hate too 💅
neutral · AI labelView post →Norman Jewison's 1971 movie of Fiddler on the Roof really shows some slight influence of New Hollywood and the French New Wave, especially with the quick cutting in the pogrom sequence. Even a couple of years earlier, a musical at this scale wouldn't have dared something so modern.
positive · AI labelView post →We've decided to follow up Fiddler on the Roof with its spiritual sequel, AN AMERICAN TAIL. The message of this movie is an almost perfect one for the second Trump presidency: immigrant family escapes oppression to America, contributes to the fight for justice here. (Plus, family separation)
neutral · AI labelView post →The Odessa Steps feature in the 1925 comedy JEWISH LUCK, based on the writings of Yiddish humorist Sholem Aleichem (who also wrote the basis for FIDDLER ON THE ROOF). This film was completed before BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN and was also shot by cinematographer Eduard Tisse.
neutral · AI labelView post →He loves musicals and any movie built around music. We’ve easily watched The Commitments together 100 times. (+ Fiddler on the Roof, Dirty Dancing, the TV biopic about The Temptations, Purple Rain, Footloose…) He’s ready for a lady in a swan costume singing about bisexuals kissing boys in bars.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw the stage version of Fiddler on the Roof yesterday at Barbican. Extremely well produced and performed. Recommended. I’d avoided the movie until a few years ago, partly out of anti-musicals snobbery. Still astonishes me that one of the most popular musical films ever made is about the pogroms.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Fiddler on the Roof for family movie night, at the emphatic insistence of my eight year old. I have no idea why she's so fixated on it; she's asked to watch it more than once before. But here we go
neutral · AI labelView post →Chaim Topol (1935-2023) with director Norman Jewison on the set of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (1971). The actor who brought Tevye to life on film and on stage more than 3,500 times was born on this date. #BOTD #FilmSky

neutral · AI labelView post →Fiddler on the Roof is easily a top 5 movie musical. The vast majority of the stage show is in the movie version. Just watch the movie! It's iconic!
positive · AI labelView post →Just make it long with an intermission. Lots of old musical films did that. Like Oklahoma!, Fiddler on the Roof, and Hello Dolly.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Rabbi in the classic movie Fiddler on The Roof best summed up how we deal with a "CZAR" ** I actually met the actor, Zvee Scooler who played the Rebbe in midtown Manhattan in 1982. He asked me if I was in the movie 😀**
neutral · AI labelView post →Joseph Williams, the lead singer of Toto, and son of composer John Williams. John composed film scores for Fiddler on the Roof, Jaws, Star Wars, ET, Indiana Jones, Home Alone, Schindler's List, and Harry Potter. Meanwhile Joseph is the adult voice of Simba in the Lion King. Rock on 🤘
neutral · AI labelView post →Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. There is no hard mode for Gen X. Each house owned like... three VHS tapes that they watched over and over. I couldn't count how many times I have seen Fiddler on the Roof.
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (1971). Director: Norman Jewison. Topol, Norma Crane. Been sunrise & sunset since I've rewatched any version (stage or screen) of joyous musical of tradition, marriage, & prejudice in 1905 Russia. 8 Oscar nods, 3 wins (including John Williams in music). #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →There needs to be a split between film and theatrical musicals. They are different beasts. Fav Theatrical - Les Miserables. A powerhouse with songs like hammers. Commands the stage. Fav Movie - Fiddler on the Roof - The intimate story benefits from the closeness of cameras. Perfectly casted.
positive · AI labelView post →And so is her husband. Stephen Miller's family were Jews who immigrated to the United States at the turn-of-the century to escape the Czar's antisemitic progroms in the Russian Empire, as depicted in the film, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. They came here with nothing, seeking asylum, peace and freedom.
neutral · AI labelView post →The great Leonard Frey was BOTD in 1938 & died of AIDS in 1988 at 49. He famously played Harold in Mart Crowley's "The Boys in the Band" on stage & in the film version directed by William Friedkin in 1970 (turning!!) and Motel in Norman Jewison's "Fiddler on the Roof" (1971)
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy Birthday Oscar nominee LEONARD FREY! 🎂 Though he was nominated for FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (‘71), he made LGBTQ film history as Harold in the film of Mart Crowley’s THE BOYS IN THE BAND (‘70). Brilliant & unforgettable. ❤️🌈⭐️ My #MovieReview youtu.be/q109y4WO8Bs?... #MovieSky
neutral · AI labelView post →Good question actually. What are some things that have competent production and writing but are otherwise just really generic movie slop? My vote is for The Shawshank Redemption. Is it good? Yeah, but it's just a movie. It's not something special like Fantastic Planet, Fiddler on the Roof, or some of my other favorite movies. There's a good guy and a bad guy. They fight, and the good guy wins. It's the #1 highest rated thing on iMDB but like, it's just qualityslop. People only like it because…
positive · AI labelView post →In "Today I Learned": I learned that the director of the film adaptation of the musical 'Fiddler on the Roof', Norman Jewison, is in fact a goy (used affectionately). What a name.

neutral · AI labelView post →Fiddler on the Roof is a Passover movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →The cultural ... whitewashing in Fiddler on the Roof in that respect is galling, especially to me, who saw the Yiddish 1939 film first, which is much more authentic in that respect (it only follows Chava's storyline, BTW).
negative · AI labelView post →In the 70s alone, he followed two musical films (Fiddler On The Roof and Jesus Christ Superstar) with a dystopian sci-fi sports film and one focused on the labor movement (Rollerball and F.I.S.T.) And that’s just scratching the surface. His oeuvre was all over the damn place. RIP Norman Jewison.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know who would be a great Tevye if they ever do another movie of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF? Fred Flintstone.
neutral · AI labelView post →Shout out to Fiddler on the Roof (1971) for joining Drive My Car and every Godzilla movie in the very prestigious position of my brain labeled "movies I think about every day and actively try to find a way to bring up or reference in every conversation"
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched Fiddler On The Roof last night. Prime is showing it. Recall seeing the play in the 70s. Did you know that it's about the Russian pogrom coming to Ukraine? They have been attacking those poor people for too long. I support Ukraine not Putin. youtu.be/09oumdE0UFI?...
positive · AI labelView post →Fiddler On The Roof is a movie about Redneck Culture
neutral · AI labelView post →Remembering the great Leonard Frey, Oscar/Tony-nominated stage and screen actor, on his 88th birthday, most famous for his role as Harold in both the original play and film adaptation of THE BOYS IN THE BAND, as well as Motel Kamzoil in the 1971 film version of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fiddler on the Roof requires supplementation with Tevye (1939), the Yiddish film based on the same source material made by American Jewish actors born in the Old Country to whom the world it represents was in living memory
neutral · AI labelView post →I have no idea. Again, how is this relevant? Do you think all Jews are Israeli? Do you think Fiddler on the Roof has an all-Jewish cast? Do you think it's about Israel?

positive · AI labelView post →9 September 1935. Chaim Topol (known as Topol) was born in Tel Aviv, Mandatory Palestine. Best known for playing Tevye, the lead role in musical Fiddler on the Roof and the popular 1971 Hollywood film. He performed this role 3,500 times from 1967 to 2009. youtube.com/watch?v=D1TC...
neutral · AI labelView post →Even the director of the film Fiddler on the Roof, whose name was NORMAN JEWISON, was not Jewish.
neutral · AI labelView post →Again- this is a musical in London about Jews in Russia in the early 20th century. Please answer my questions: Do you think all Jews are Israeli? Do you think this production of Fiddler on the Roof has an all-Jewish cast? Do you think it's about Israel?
neutral · AI labelView post →It was a neck-and-neck race between The French Connection and Fiddler on the Roof for my favorite movie of 1971 until a really good friend guided me in the direction of Harold and Maude. Love love love it.
positive · AI labelView post →On his 91st birthday, we remember the legendary Chaim Topol (or simply Topol), gifted Oscar/Tony-nominated Israeli actor and singer, who was #BOTD on 9/9/1935. He is most renowned for his role/performance as Tevye in both the original stage and film adaptation of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (1971).
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun fact: Morgan's castmate in the show, Neva Small, played Chava, Tevye's youngest daughter, in the 1971's FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. (lower left) This will likely turn out to be the closest degree of separation I will ever have to John Williams, who won his very first Oscar for this film. #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching “Dr. Zhivago”. This film, along with “Fiddler on the Roof” are as close as I’ll ever get to knowing what life was like for my grandfather living through the Russian revolution. Any time I asked him about it and how, at 16 he made his way to England, alone, he’d change the subject.
positive · AI labelView post →(the movie was Fiddler on the Roof, perfect)
positive · AI labelView post →Johnny Williams? The guy who did the orchestration for the Fiddler on the Roof movie? Wow, who knew he did space operas...
neutral · AI labelView post →First time I watched Fiddler on the Roof I downloaded it, and when the intermission hit I thought it was the end of the film, and for the next few years I just thought it ended with the Tsarist police smashing up the wedding, and I was like "fucking hell, that's rough"
neutral · AI labelView post →I love Spider-Man 2 but also all I think about when I watch this movie is that Alfred Molina is prepping to play Teyve in ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ on Broadway around this time (which I saw, ofc)
neutral · AI labelView post →who are you casting as Tevye in your Fiddler on the Roof movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →#filmsky A film like Late Marriage (out today, 2001) truly makes me appreciate Israeli cinema; there is humor galore as stud ZaZa is pressured by his family to marry a nice virgin while he’s been sleeping with a divorced babe. A good double bill with Fiddler On The Roof for arranged marriage movies.
neutral · AI labelView post →Norman Jewison, director of the movie version of Fiddler on the Roof, was not Jewish.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fiddler On The Roof is a Christmas movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Omg. Which reminds me: the reason Norman Jewison--who wasn't Jewish--ended up directing the film version of Fiddler on the Roof is because the producers assumed he WAS Jewish. Because of his last name.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Norman Jewison retrospective at Film at Lincoln Center in 2011 is a treasured memory. I saw 14 films w/ Q&A’s featuring Lee Grant, Jennifer Tilly, lyricist Sheldon Harnick (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF) and Robert Osborne. Norman chatted w/ attendees between screenings like a regular Joe. #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →As a #Jewish kid raised with little to no Jewish friends or community, #Topol’s portrayal of #Tevye was a wonder to watch while growing up. That film helped me build a quiet sense of Jewish pride deep within, one which ultimately took years to acknowledge. ❤️ #FiddlerOnTheRoof https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/09/movies/topol-dead.html

positive · AI labelView post →Reading a book about Penda’s Fen & David Rudkin mentions co-writing a screenplay adapting the classic Yiddish play The Dybbuk, rejected by Columbia Pictures because “we already have a Jewish film” (Fiddler on the Roof) & damn, I would’ve liked to see that. The 1937 original film is pretty great too.
