So sad to hear of Chaim Topol passing away today. I first watched Fiddler on the Roof as a child in 1971 and its been my favourite musical since. May his memory be a blessing.

This is possibly the best opening scene of any movie. It establishes the entire context for the movie. The entire movie is an amazing piece of art. The first half is fun, the second very serious and sad.

Rest in peace Topol, your life created a new "tradition" 3500 times you played this part through the years, aged into it and had a blast teaching us all how to laugh and love through the character of Tyve. You will live on in our hearts and memories as "The Fiddler on the Roof"!

I was originally say something waaaay longer and waaaay personal, but I back up half way though. Instead I will say that "kids this day are on their cell phones and doesn't help" is a BIG stereotype about generation that I'm part of. And it's a very negative one. It's easy to say that. But in reality, many young people in fact do help around the house. Of course as many people as many stories, some of them do it more willingly then others. Of course there's some kids that are like that and do not help like at all, and parents, most of the time mothers are forced to do everything by themselves. But sometimes kids are emotionally tricked to do so by sayings like "no one is helping me here, I need to do everything by myself" bc it's implied that the kid in question is selfish for not wanting to help right? Doesn't matter that the kid is helping, but let say their Mather doesn't see their work, or ignore it just to make a false point to get her kids to work. Sometimes parents are unable to do stuff bc their awful mental health or addictions or some other crap in their life and the kid is basically their parent's parent. Please, in the future, thing about stuff that you put in the internet a couple of times, just to be sure, and don't use generalizations and stereotypies, towards anyone actually. This kind of stuff is not only incorrect but also extremely harmful and annoying. Like PLEASE stop pretending like all of children around the world are awful, and only thing that they do is looking at a phone, and when past generations where younger things where different. It wasn't different. There always where some brats, some good kids and people with hard situation in their family. Only different is that now, people have more technology then before. And this isn't inherently bad neither. At the end it's always depends on what do you do with it. TL:DR: Please rethink something before posting and stop using stereotypes and generalizations bc they are always more or less harmful. Ps: If there is some misspellings, it's probably bc English is not my first language and it's 1 AM when I write it.

Topol was the best Tevye EVER!! Topol was only 36 years old at the time this was filmed! But, make-up, tensing his muscles to look less agile, adding weight to his costume, and gargling his voice, all gave the impression of being 60 years old!! Several tried out for the role of Tevye including Walter Mathau and Frank Sinatra!!!!! So happy they chose TOPOL!!!

It came to have this second meaning from a series in comics in the 20s and 30s with a character bearing the name who had those characteristics. The stories that Fiddler on the Roof are based on, which include the matchmaker character Yente, pre-date that by decades.

As an Italian with some knowledge of music and arts, I'd say it should be mandatory for everyone everywhere to know this musical and this movie, then you'd start to realise how many have quoted from it!

I like how Tevye is talking about how they all get along so well but then he smirks at the camera and proceeds to start a flash mob.

I grew up on this film. Having traditions encapsulates our family!

😢😢😢What a loss!! He truly brought Tevye the Milkman to life. May his memory be a blessing.

I like this intro because you get a few genuine laughs from it. For instance, the reply of the rabbi and the argument over the age of the horse.

As someone who suffers from depression, sometimes it helps to put this song on and replace each instance of the word "tradition" with "depression." Just gives me a bit of a giggle.

I didn't realize I had heard so many of the songs before, songs like "Sunrise, Sunset, and "If I Were a Rich Man". This play was amazing. I decided to borrow the original movie from the library.

In Kiev itself? I believe that Kiev was not included in the Pale of Settlement. Unless your ancestors were from First Guild Merchant's family (very-very rich:) , they were not allowed to live in the city of Kiev in 20-th century Imperial Russia. Most likely they live in some jewish MESTECHKO ( place, market town) in Kiev Governorate.

This is my heritage full and through!! My great-zaideh (Grandfather in Yiddish) Daniel lived in the Pale Settlement in the late 19th century, he left when he was a young man because of the Pogroms, and because of a forced 25 year mandatory army service. I Grew up watching this movie as a little kid, and now I really appreciate the values taught in it and the attitudes of the people. In the 3rd scene Golda says "From your mouth to G-d's ears." My great-aunt still says that all the time. This movie without question is one of my all-time favourites.

I had the pleasure to play from that score as a senior in high school, when the graduating class put on a production. I was the violist in our small orchestra, along with friends of mine who played violin and cello. We also had a rare contributor in the personage of an older lady who played the accordion, lending a truly surreal air to Tevye's "nightmare" (leading into Mazel Tov).

I've always known about Fiddler on the Roof but I had no idea what it was about. I just barely watched it days ago. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. Chaim Topol was perfect for this role. He was phenomenal as well as all of the actors in this outstanding movie.

I love Chaim Topol! Absolutely world class actor!

Zanam I mean, things really didn't get much better for the Russian people, Jewish or Christian, with the revolution- and Lenin and Stalin were arguably a lot more powerful and brutal than Nicholas ever was. And when you think of what happened to Nicholas and his family, yes, I believe Tevye and his family would have *some* sympathy.

Nicholas could have avoided revolution if he allowed the people to have a voice. His stubbornness (and his wife’s) brought the monarchy down. They could have transformed to a government like England’s.

One of my most favorite movies ever! This traditional way of life is more important now than ever. “Everyone knows who he is, and what God expects him to do.” Doesn’t get any more clear than that. My husband and I moved out of the city four years ago for the country and never looked back. We tend large gardens, growing much of our own food and he is the primary breadwinner where I am the homemaker. Most of our friends out here live much the same way. I get more spiritual fulfillment out of preparing meals, having a clean home, gardening and preserving our harvest but most importantly, caring for and homeschooling our daughter. More fulfillment than I ever did working a post-graduate office job in the city as a single gal. It is not an easy life. You have to work hard and get your hands dirty but it is purposeful; purpose being something too many young folks are devoid of these days. I know my work of investing into the lives of my family and others echoes into eternity. God bless y’all! ❤️

May his memory be a blessing

My favourite film of all time, best I've ever seen, and I'm over 70! Wonderful music, a real story, fantastic cinematography. What more could anyone ask. I first saw it in 1971, and it still delights me. Watch it and tell me you don't get a lump in the throat or tears in your eyes!

"May God bless and keep the Tsar... far away from us." LOL.

Rest in peace, Topol.❤❤

My cousin will indeed be missed.

I am an Atheist, but the story is human, the music is beautiful and captivating. I used to listen to the cassette (remember them?) countless times without understanding English, that was in the late 70's, now I understand and appreciate the lyrics and I am still captivated by the story. One does not have to be religious or believe in any fictional or mythological character to enjoy the exquisiteness of music. Peace!

because in this day of the internet opinions have too much leavening and it breeds a lot of what comes out sounding like hate when it's really a cry saying 'no one listens to me' most people are stuck on all output

RIP Norman Jewison. This is one of my favorites.

I grew up watching The Sound of Music, but for whatever reason, never saw this one until I was in my 30's. I missed out not seeing it sooner! Wonderful movie! Our little town's movie theater showed it for free on Saturday, and that's when I saw it.

I am from India. I heard this song and the other one for many many times. So beautiful and meaningful which is applicable even now with many people thought process

one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen.. I LOVE IT!!

Life is getting a little creepy. I was playing this tune on piano last night... and here it is in my KZread feed today. Well, at least that means I played it well enough for a computer algorithm to recognize the tune.

Saw Topol play in this when he came to New Zealand. What a thrill, he was wonderful.

As a boy whom was raised by Secular parents but my mother’s father had Jewish traditions. I really loved this musical. My grandfather bought this movie for me. I never had a bar mitzvah

I LOOOOOOVE this musical so bad. Ever since I was a little girl, I used to watch the movie very often, and every time I watch my favorite dances and songs is as if it were the first time.

Thank you Randy Rainbow for bringing me here!
