Based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem, this gripping musical comedy is set in pre-revolutionary Russia and focuses on the life of Tevye, a milkman who tries to maintain family traditions by marrying his three eldest daughters. However, times are changing and girls want to create their own couple, freeing themselves from many restrictive customs that Judaism imposes on them. Against the backdrop of these events, Russia is on the brink of revolution and Jews increasingly feel unwanted in their villages. Tevye, who expresses his desire for unity in the first song, “Tradition,” tries to keep everyone together. The film is very allegorical - Tevye represents the common man - but he does so skillfully and the resulting film is an extraordinary work of art.The music is excellent (it won an Academy Award for Music and Sound), with many well-known songs like "Sunrise, Sunset" and "If I Were a Rich Man"that you'll be humming long after the film is over. Isaac Stern’s violin, which provides the music for “Fiddler on the Roof,” is enchantingly beautiful. And despite the serious subject matter, the film is sometimes quite funny; It also deserves the Oscar it won for cinematography.
