find love in sorrow

I was so angry that I paused, and then my friend asked me why I looked at the screenshots. The reason for being angry is that the lover relationship between the male protagonist and Lana is not due to a tragedy caused by the war, it is not an irresistible fate, but the male protagonist's own promiscuity and infidelity, so it is so unacceptable . It is unimaginable that in such an era of war, this doctor, this poet, can still have such a wonderful spiritual life, with the support of his wife and the comfort of his lover, and still be able to live in a place with beautiful scenery and write poetry. All kinds of suffering seemed false to him, and this real suffering came to his wife's family. The film also rationalizes the fact that Lana is the hero's lover by changing Lana's husband into a radical loyal to the revolutionary cause and her husband into someone who doesn't love her. Tonya's letter is really disturbing. She told the male protagonist that she knew he didn't love her, but she looked at everything in the past and couldn't find the reason for not loving her. If we have to talk about this movie, it should be said: the war will smash everything, and the revolution will change everything (of course, changing social classes is necessary and cruel), so that everyone has no peace of mind and will Everything is broken into scattered sand again, and then people expose their cowardice and dependence on others. Facing this situation, there are two faces. The first is Lana's husband, who is a fighter and a revolutionary. , he came forward. The second type is the male protagonist, who pinned the hope of life on the sacrifices of others, and hid in himself and others to prop up a small "spiritual warm house" and never came out again. How sad, such a character and human heart is destined to be a tragedy. Everyone has a broken heart and a broken life. Life pushes them to stick together, and love pushes them to face reality and stay away from each other.

    It turned out to be such an early film!

    In fact, it's not that the movie is really bad, but the relative distance from the original is too big.

Doctor Zhivago quotes

  • Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: This man was your father. Why won't you believe it? Don't you want to believe it?

    The Girl: Not if it isn't true.

    Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: That's inherited.

  • Komarovski: Strelnikov is dead.

    Zhivago: What?

    Komarovski: Spare me your expressions of regret. He was a murderous neurotic of no use to anyone. Do you see how this affects Larissa? You don't. You're a fool. She's Strelnikov's wife. Why do you think they haven't arrested her - is this the usual practice? Why do you think they had her watched at Yuriatin? They were waiting for Strelnikov.

    Zhivago: If they thought Strelnikov would come running to his wife, they didn't know him...

    Komarovski: They knew him well enough. He was only five miles from here when they caught him. He was arrested on the open road. He didn't conceal his identity - indeed throughout the interview he insisted they call him Pavel Antipov, which is his right name, and refused to answer to the name Strelnikov. On his way to execution, he took a pistol from one of the guards and blew his own brains out.

    Zhivago: Oh my God... don't tell Lara this.

    Komarovski: I think I know Lara at least as well as you. But don't you see how this affects her position? She's served her purpose. These men that came with me today as an escort will come for her and the child tomorrow as a firing squad! Now, I know exactly what you think of me, and why, but if you're not coming with me she's not coming with me! So, are you coming with me? Do you accept the protection of this ignoble Caliban on any terms that Caliban cares to make... or is your delicacy so exorbitant that you would sacrifice a woman and a child to it?
