calm in turmoil

After watching this movie, I was always asked by my teacher if I could watch such a movie, and I found myself immersed in it unexpectedly. I remember Mr. Wang Guantang’s monument at Tsinghua University with the words Mr. Chen Yinke wrote in memory of him: “The writings of Mr. Chen are sometimes out of order; the theories of Mr. Wang are sometimes negotiable, but the spirit of independence is the essence of freedom. Thought, which has been sacrificed for thousands of years, has been with the sky for a long time, a total of three lights and eternal light." In Zhivago, what he saw was such a free thought and independent personality as an intellectual. Whether in the face of the revolution or after the revolution, Dr. Zhivago maintained his personality. During those turbulent years, he remained calm and sober.

I was completely caught up in the film when Zhivago returned home to find that his home had been forcibly occupied and distributed to many people. At that moment, what I saw from his expression was anger, and then it was a kind of graceful demeanor that was once a high-class person, Having said the words that should be so allocated, he followed his wife upstairs. Political shocks were everywhere in that era, but he still insisted on himself, insisted on such a calm and independent thought, and said when his brother persuaded him that I still choose to insist on myself. Even when his poetry collection was despised by almost everyone at the time, he said to Pasha that I especially hate you but I will not kill you because of this, which is the arrogance and persistence of an intellectual.

The turbulent times and hardships will not be wiped out, but will inspire people's inspiration and enthusiasm for writing. After asking the teacher, he learned that the narration that "no one loves poetry and poets more than Russians" came from Lenin when Yuri died. By the way, it is quite ironic that while Yuri was alive he was not loved by the people for his status as a poet. I saw someone describe the Russian literati culture like this before, saying that they were obsessed with the so-called noble culture and forgot to cultivate a culture that was extremely low in their eyes - politics, but at that time, the absence of such a culture would appear rude , ironically without culture. In this way, the elegant culture of the literati will not help save the country, or even oneself. But after watching the meditation, I found that this film happened to be a counterattack. The importance and understanding of political culture cannot be felt at once on a narrow surface, and it may not have an effect in a person's short life, but a subtle influence. Effects, such as the power that Zhivago brings as an intellectual today we find. I suddenly remembered the enthusiastic response of the symphony orchestra at the end of the film, like a thousand horses galloping away, bringing a glimmer of hope to the hazy hearts of people who have experienced hardships.
