REVIEW OF THE MOVIE FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER: NORMAN JEWISON
SCREENPLAY: JOSEPH STEIN
CINEMATOGRAPHY: OSWALD MORRIS

Fiddler on the roof is one of the best movie which I liked most.It was inaugurably one of the most beloved musicals of the second half of the 20th century.The movie is based on the story by Ukranian writer Sholom Aleichem.THE SOUND Of MUSIC stands as a memorable representative of this kind of movie.Cinematography and music touches the audience most.
Fiddler on the roof takes place around 1910 in a small Ukranian village,it is an uncertain time.Unrest caused by the Pogroma(when Jews were driven from their homes),rising anti-Tsarist sentiment and the approach of World war one.The historical realities of the time do not simply provide a colorful backdrop to this story.A central theme is how the old traditions are disintegrating under the pressure of the world culture that is being reshaped by industrialization and mechanization.
