Given the movie is about the oppression of jewish people under an empire as much as it is about three love stories, I’d say the sadness is more than underlying
Yes, they did...but if you pay close attention, each sister pays a higher price for her choice than the one before her. Tzeitel's parents are very ambivalent about her choice. Hodel is compelled to leave her home and family and travel a long way to be with the man of her choice. Chava is disowned by her father for falling in love with and marrying a Christian man. In the original collection of stories on which this is based, the fourth sister (Shprintze) is unfortunate enough to fall desperately in love with the son of a family wealthier than her own -- the young man toys with her and then abandons her, prompting her to drown herself in despair.
@@mkaplan1383 Yeah and then he matched Adam with his daughters and Even with her sons....then matched brothers and sisters together. You might want to rethink those beliefs.
@@BlueBrainMountainStream The children of Adam and Eve would have had married each other. There are no laws against sibling marriage at this point, given there’s few negative defects in the gene pool. Starting from early Genesis, the life span of everyone has deceased substantially, this was accelerated by the restriction of the gene pool to Noah’s sons and daughters. When the time was proper God gave them laws, because nobody knew close genes were more likely to conflict.
@@OreadNYC "Chava is disowned by her father for falling in love with and marrying a Christian man." When I saw the film, I wasn't paying much attention, I thought the reason why Tevye didn't allow Chava to marry Fyedka is because he already let Tzeitel and Hodel marry Motel and Perchik, and they end up leaving. Tevye didn't want Chava to leave the family, so he didn't let her marry Fyedka. Until someone pointed out that the real reason is because Chava is Jewish and Fyedka is a Christian, so those two can't marry each other, because they have different religions. Tzeitel was allowed to marry Motel; and Hodel was allowed to marry Perchik, because they're still both Jewish, and the matchmaking was just a minor thing. Not to mention, I literally thought Perchik was a Christian. But I at least know now.
The funny thing is, Rosalind Harris, the woman who played Tzeitel, is 75 now. She would be playing the role of the Matchmaker. Molly Picon was 73 when she played the original Matchmaker in 1971 :)
Does anyone else notice that when Tzeitel was pretending to be Yenta and went to Chava that Hodel joined in when Hodel basically said she wanted the same thing.
That's the sibling science, when there's an opportunity to mock the other, doesn't matter if they're older or younger, always, and I mean ALWAYS take that chance. unless they're actually sad or upset, then they need protection and love and support.
At that time “slender and pale” meant one was wealthy enough to not have to do physical work or go outside, meaning they could dedicate their time to Torah study.
Tzeitel here is actually having a rational response to a system in which, she can foresee, her family will fall through the cracks. Oddly though, I wonder if she's only able to think about it because she'd long since decided to break away from this system, and found her own match. I'm told that people often tend to leap before they look.
Mike Sully my ‘type’ was always tall, slender and pale. But the three i got were absolute horrors. I decided ‘my type’ wasnt doing me any favours. I married a 5ft 6 somewhat dumpy man and that was 15 years ago
This is one very good movie here, even though I like the women that are singing the nurse because a few days ago I’ve seen the pogo account because someone had made a musical dance video combined in all these voices to make it equal to the song.
I always had an eye for Jewish girls. Mayim Bialik is hot as sunburn. The Nanny is awesome with the sound muted. Sarah Silverman is scorching as well. Couldn't get into her show, though. Natalie was my favorite on Facts of Life. Tzeitel is my favorite of these three.
I think Tzeitel was just channeling what Yente would say when she would tell a poor girl about her potential match, while deflecting the topic about their potential matches. Hodel and Chava got scared at the prospects of a match with men whom are unappealing. Tzeitel did break the mold when she and Motel got married. Soon Hodel and Perchik followed the mold. As upset as Tevye was, he took comfort knowing that both Motel and Perchik were Jewish. It was Chava's marriage to Fyedka that made him unable to accept it because she married interfaith and he felt like she abandoned Judaism.
@@ladyfire44 Tevye didn’t like Perchik because he was a Zionist/Rebel. They already had a tentative and fragile peace with the Russians, he didn’t want unnecessary trouble brought on the village or his family because of that.
My DNA test told me that I am 4% Jewish. Not much. And yet all of my life their music, the humor, the dances, all of that culture resonates with me so strongly. Perhaps it has a universal appeal. Or perhaps it is simply that underneath the skin we are all the same.
I'm a big Irish lug from the Deep South (I mean as Irish as fish for breakfast chased with room-temperature stout) and I go around whistling "Matchmaker" far too much of the time, considering my background and environment. You may well be correct.
Whether a man is able to support a family has traditionally been a key consideration for women, just as whether or not a woman is healthy enough to survive multiple childbirths and raise the children has traditionally been a key consideration for men. All of the factors that make a woman more physically attractive are just proxies for "good health" or "well fed". These con
The only thing I don't like about the movie version is Hodel joining in during Tzeitel being Yente, since she only realizes later in the song how screwed she could be. Tzeitel, having had at least a couple of prospective matches, is fully aware.
Watch the clothes ob the wire and the hay stack behind it. The shade from their house keeps changing. One minute it's all dark and the next it's all in the sun.
@@triple7marc I'm not talking abt arranged marriage here...... Rather the situation where women were regarded as second class of humans and were not given equal rights.....
@@triple7marc You do know the difference right, as in arranged marriages then vs now.......... Patriarchal society, less rights of women... etc... Arranged marriages then was like a very bad trade for women
I hate how hypocritical Tzeitel is: saying that her sisters should be grateful with whom they’re destined by Yente, but later she’s down on her knees begging Tevye not to marry her off to Lazar Wolf, a guy that will leave her comforted and taken care of. Ultimately: I’m glad she ends up with Motel but she plays a double standard in my eyes.
I don’t think Tzeitel was saying what she actually believed- she did make her own match. Rather, I think she and Hodel are channeling what Yente the matchmaker would say to a poor girl, as well as deflecting the entire topic and making it unappealing to her sisters. After all, if Hodel and Chava view marriage as a likely trap with a fat old drunk, they won’t be pushing their parents to get married, which means putting off Tzietels own match until Motel can ask for her hand.
That's not her message her message is be careful what you wish for and that realistically speaking a match made by a matchmaker for them wouldn't be so ideal since they aren't that well off.
She was being sarcastic when she said "Whatever Yente brings, you'll take." She wanted to be sure they both understood what kind of lives they could be trapped into by letting Yente match them with whoever.
You missed the point of the song, dipshit. Her whole point was that wishing for a match might not be the best thing to wish for, because they are likely to not get the best dude. And she is saying youre not going to get a prince, because she KNOWS she might get someone like Lazar Wolf. I wouldn't be surprised if she already knows he is looking at her.
And the song is pretty simple, so the fact you dont get it means youre definitely riding the short bus, my friend. Tzeitel KNOWS she is going to get someone she doesnt love for a match.
