Doomsday love in war

Those who have read the original book "Doctor Zhivago" may be annoyed. The story has been adapted to a certain extent, but I think the change is good, and it is more in line with my imagination. Chaplin's daughter won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. This film is probably the most obsessive love triangle in film history. Zhivago loves his wife Tonia and his lover Lala, and the two women also love Doctor Zhivago wholeheartedly. As for why Zhivago wrote the question For Lala and not Tonia's poems, a wife is probably not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing. The same background theme can be extended to watch "Quiet River Don", the film length is longer.

    Although I understand that the popularity of books and movies at the time was influenced by the Cold War ideology, it is clearer to look at it today. But David Lean’s shots are not exactly like the kind of resentment and dissatisfaction with the changing current situation. Instead, he uses atmospheric production combined with the vast and endless Russian winter to depict the ups and downs of the intellectuals' lives, helpless but persevering, no wonder it is here. In a Hollywood blockbuster, the feelings of the hero and heroine are not like the protagonist...

    I don't like it very much.

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?
