Perchik helped me understand when I was young what I wanted in a husband. I couldn't understand the appeal of a man like that. He seems undependable and unaffectionate. When Hodel has to say "and affection?", that makes me shiver. On the other hand...Motel was always so affectionate and foundational, even if he didn't seem to have the same strength as Perchik. When he says "Even a poor tailor is untitled to some happiness! I promise you Reb Tevye, your daughter will not starve!". Such a romantic and dependable line. They were definitely very formative characters for me.

The play with Zero Mostel as Tevia was way better.

I have yet to see this movie in its entirety. Paul Michael Glaser is Perchik here and then later (about 10 years ago) did a FOTR tour of the UK playing Tevye. Apparently, he did very well.

Girls are people!! lol love this scene!

i have tears of happiness in my eyes of this scene… why cant we be like that?

Even a poor tailor is entitled to some happiness! It caused me goosebumps! GREAT MOVIE with GREAT ACTORS and GREAT STORY.

Thanks Norman Jewison...RIP

I once heard a quote about musical theater that went something like this: "When people can no longer speak, they sing. And when they can no longer sing, they dance." This scene is an iconic example.

Its just... beautyfull.

This scene so rocks. Mazaltav!

I love the urgency to begin. It really shows their dedication to serving God at his appointed time. Such an incredibly beautiful song.

Love this movie.

Tevye is not afraid to ask Lazar for a refill on his drink, and Lazar is glad to oblige, especially if Tevye agrees to a match.

I do not know if Perchik waving a Red flag to promote Communism in Kiev was a model for historical success about 120 years later. How many class enemies were thrown into vats of acid between 1918 and 1990 in Ukraine?

His daughter would never want for anything. I don't blame him.

I love the interactions in this scene, because Perchik is meant to represent new ideas while Mendel (the rabbi's son) represents tradition. In Matchmaker, Hodel sings "For Papa, make him a scholar", which is something both men are. She's stated to have interest in Mendel also, and in my opinion that interest isn't entirely one-sided, given how Mendel hangs around Tevye even after he's gotten his milk and the other men have left. He'd have more choice about his marriage as the rabbi's son, and at Tzeitel and Motel's wedding, he's shocked by the idea of Hodel breaking tradition to dance with Perchik. Tevye, however, tells him to go away and offers to let Perchik stay with them for the summer, effectively sealing Hodel's fate by introducing her to the man she'll end up marrying.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

נהדר מקסים נפלא

A lot of Christian homes need family sabbath. Each part is a prayer for every role and member of the home.

6:30 "Tradition!" ... *shrug* 😂

Буш, когато решЪ, ЩЕ МИ СТАНЕШ БАЩА! ЗА СЕГА СИ МИ ОТРОЧЕ!

I feel for Laserwolf

"The rich are criminals. Someday their wealth will be ours." So then you'll be rich. Criminal. But still, how do you propose to make this switch in status? You claim to want to make your own wealth. Honestly. You claime that what you will have is THEIR wealth. That sounds like stealing. Which is criminal. "Well, they got their wealth criminally. So why shouldn't I?" So you condem and condone criminality? Play got "generic leftist git" pretty right.

His face when she asked if his agreement mattered more than her showed he immediately knew she mattered more. He didn’t take long to agree not to force her. Everytime I see this movie I love seeing how much he loves his daughters. To him, their happiness matters most.

I have 3 daughters & I always write this on the card I give them everytime they celebrate a birthday, a really appropriate wish for your daughters.

1:00 Edict: Did the USA and England support the Tsarist regime?

I like this movie.

My mum loved this film. She and i watched this every year. She has died now. I can't watch this without bawling my eyes out. In one respect, I'm glad she didn't live to see what is happening now." May god bless you, and may we live together in peace."

Chaim Topol R.I.P He Was Rev Tevye In Fiddler On The Roof The Jewish Movie Musical He Has Five Daughter’s And He Is A Father And Husband Of Glode

I weaved my own cotton and sewed my own mask with my bare hands for the Sabbath. 😷

Can someone please explain to me 5:08-6:04? Why is Lazar wolf still and not moving?

Basically, she's marrying Trotsky.

This is a very Catholic Prayer.

Oh boy this is going end in disaster for these people who are getting drunk on the whiskey just looking at them is making me really dizzy 😮

This is soooooo lovely ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

"Girls are people too" "A radical!" "Go away!" 😂

Of all the jokes and lines they cut, at least they didn't cut Yente's wit.

*The Russians start to approach the Jews* Jews: 😐 Tevye: 🤪

Sholem Aleichem witnessed the 1905 pogrom in Kyiv and emigrated to the USA. He then wrote stories about Tevye the dairyman. "Fiddler on the Roof' is based on those of his stories that anticipate a pogrom.

lazer wolf is a fat and old butcher

Oh my god. I love this film. So pertinent. Times really don't change, do they? Alas.

This is such an amazing tune❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Brilliant film such a shame he never got an award for this ❤such great acting he was made for this role

I'm not Jewish. But my most interesting discussions on religion were with some Jews who became my friends. Interesting and fascinating people.
