It's the "Charleston" by James P. Johnson, not the other one - even more popular than this - by Paul "the King of Jazz" Whiteman......

@jesSILLYkimBOOTYxD It's Allen's absurdist tale illustrating the consequences of not developing one's own individual character, but, rather, by going the opposite route and trying desperately to fit in. It's straight out of psychoanalyst Otto Rank's theory about how we individuate: by taking an opposite position from our parents, or our society, etc. It's like Rank's book "Will Therapy" seen through a comic lens (or glasses).

Is 'Zelig' really about Jewish people trying to be something other than Jewish? To "fit in"? (And whatever is wrong with that? As the song goes...."Anyway you figure, it's tough to be a_____, but its harder to be a Jew...ooo." Wanting a better life is something that should NOT be criticized!

Este documental es mi vida, pero sin una cámara que lo documente.
This film is brilliant. The first time I watched it I happened to be flicking channels and came across Zelig by accident, thinking it was a documentary.
