ok totally agree but just as importantly love the way you said it... right on!!
shareJust thought that it was worth mentioning that a person rating Fiddler as a 1 is as likely to be from the "I hate musicals" crowd as to be an antisemite.
Either way it's stupid. They are different strains of stupidity, though.
In my opinion this should definitely be in the Top 205, it's my favorite film, Besides The Dark Knight, and Godfather&LOTRs Trilogies.

And everything becomes Chaos"
Nope, its very unlikely that the 1 ratings - 283 of them at this writing - have anything to do with musicals themselves, because other musicals like West Side Story or Oklahoma don't have anywhere near the number of 1's this film has. A rating of 1 means hate, and no other quality musical attracts anywhere near this much hate.
Anyone calling this film one of the worst all-time has be blinded by something, and anti-Semitism would be the only explanation that makes sense.
The reason the OP is an idiot is because of the fact that Jews run Hollywood. Schindler's List is about the Jews as well, That's in IMDB's top 5. So where's the so called Anti Semitism there?
sharebecause other musicals like West Side Story or Oklahoma don't have anywhere near the number of 1's this film has
Well, some more facts.
When I made my comment back in March, the percent of 1's for Fiddler was well over 2, I don't remember exactly but I believe it was 2.4. I know that at that time West Side Story was around 1.5, and Oklahoma around 1.0. Since then, WSS has picked up approx. 100 1's, Okla. much the same while Fiddler has picked up almost all non-1's. I don't know about those other titles you mentioned because they were not things I checked out at the time.
I still smell a rat. The fact that people have come along and tried to hide the rat only convinces me all the more he must, in fact, exist.
re: "A rating of 1 means hate..."
Do you mean the noun, *hatred*?
My understanding is the 1s came from the people who wanted Zero Mostel to have the lead instead of Topol.
shareYours is the most trivial usage of the epithet "anti-semitic" I have ever come across. Let's hope it at least made you feel better.
shareWhat a stupid post...If you dont like the film you are an anti-Semite?You are stupid just for thinking it.Maybe people gave it a 1 because they just didnt like it.
shareI can't understand why anyone would give this great movie a "1", but for what its worth 1,165 oddballs also gave the Sound of Music a "1"
Truly, no accounting for taste!
I love this movie. If someone hates this movie though that doesn't make them an anti semi. Most men/boys hate musicals and they are the ones that post the most on imdb.
"Most" men/boys (primarily from Western culture) "hate musicals" because they have been socialized that liking musicals is unmanly/effeminate. That's "girl stuff". Boys are supposed to like cop movies, thrillers, sci-fi, raunchy comedy, horror movies, etc. Serious dramas, romantic comedies, musicals, etc. are what girls are supposed to like.
shareMy family was the exception then for one musical:Evita. My daughter and I fell asleep on it and my two sons and husband watched it through and loved it. My sons are now married and Gulf War Vets so they are completely masculine. They were just brought up to appreciate all types of media and perfermances and my husband was raised in Hollywood.
shareNo...it is simply because that in the real world...people do not break out into "song and dance." It has nothing to do with the "masculine vs. feminine" argument. It has to do with realism and believability.
shareWhen one watches a musical, one must expect people to break out into song and dance. To expect otherwise is ludicrous.
shareMovies are not the real world, their Arts and Entertainment.

This is ridiculous. One of the most needed elements of Theatre is the suspension of disbelief. So if you are going to attend a musical you basically know and accept the story will be told in song.
shareHating this movie makes someone an anti-semite? I hate YOU, but does that make me against your race, religion, or creed? Get over yourself.
shareIs this movie about Arabs? People who hate Arabs don't like this movie? I thought this movie was about jews but I guess it is about Arabs.
I thought jews hated Arabs, making them the true anti-semites.
I guess I was wrong.
The things you learn on IMDB.
I am neither Jewish nor Arab, but, the definition of 'Anti-semitism' is "Hatred towards Jews."
Now, whether that definition should be expanded or not, I don't know. But, until it is, it officially refers to hating Jewish people.
If you love Mary and Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make your signature!
I should report your post, but, I'll ask this instead; what makes you think those who voted the film a "1 star" were anti-Semitic?
Maybe they were just kids who thought musicals were stupid.
or grown women who enjoy musicals as a genre but not this one in particular, based on their own opinion of the quality of this movie? :)
