Fiddler On The Roof

[Your Paragon of Virtue]

I have an assignment for this movie due tomorrow(which is already late), and I needed some help as I didn't watch the movie. I answered some, but not the rest because I couldn't BS through those. Here are ones that I wish someone could at least offer some help with:

 

- What is meant by the statement "With tradition, a man is like a Fiddler On The Roof". How's tradition important in Jewish Life?

 

- What does Teyve say the relationship between the Jews and Christians is like in the town of Anatevka?

 

- Is Teyve a religious person? how does he demonstrate his faith in God in light of the problems he faces? What is God like in Teyve's worldview?

 

- Identify at least four examples of breaks with tradition in the film. If possible, relate to an unfortunate event in the life of Teyve's community.

 

- Name three specific incidences of anti-semitism in this film. How does Teyve react to anti-semitism that he faces? How are his reactions related to his religious beliefs?

 

I know that's alot, and that they are very specific, but odds are that some of you have seen it, and even a quick answer would at least get me started, as I could BS around the truth. On the upside, at least this thread is more practical than that Love, Sex, and Dating crap. No offense intended of course...

HELP DAMMIT~!

for our paragon of virtue you sure don't do much on the homework front, huh?

I..er...umm....HELP ME~!

 

To be honest, I rarely touch homework outside of assignments and ISUs, yet I still manage an average that is somewhat respectable. It's just that I didn't watch this movie, so I couldn't do this particular assigment. Never mind why...

I think you're shit out of luck. I would bet that no one on these boards have seen it. Not even me and I'm a pretty devout film student with a good foundation in musicals. Here's a site that might help you, didn't look at it too closely though.

Thanks, I had a feeling that not many would have seen it, but I still that since it was so famous that I had to give it a shot. The site helped a little though, so thanks again for that.

 

If anyone else has any information on the subject, please share. I'm off to study for my chem test tomorrow, but I'm leaving this thread open. If you don't help...*Shakes fist*

Never mind, I managed to half-ass it as much as humanly possible. Procrastination pays off, believe me...
