A candle is burning, burning, in the winter night-"Doctor Zhivago" feelings

A few years ago, I read the novel of "Doctor Zhivago". The opportunity to read the novel was because of a course essay. I chose Pasternak's poetry to study. I liked it very much at the time. Remember Zhivago's poetry collection The sentence in: "When life is more boring than illness, and the survival of beauty depends on bravery, you are my luck in misfortune, so we are so attached." Many years have passed, and the most vivid thing in my heart is the wind. The light of the wagging candles, on the winter night in Russia, on the ice and snow, the candlelight is faint and may be extinguished at any time. Zhivago's life, love is also as fragile as a candle in that turbulent era
. I watched the movie yesterday. Someone asked me to watch it. Can't read it? But I was immersed in it. It reminded me of a Chinese scholar's words, which were written by Mr. Chen Yinke to commemorate Mr. Wang Guowei: Mr.'s writings, or sometimes out of order; Mr.'s doctrines, or Sometimes it can be business, but this independent spirit, free thought, it has been with the world for a long time, and there are three lights and eternal light. They are engraved on the monument to Mr. Wang Guantang of Tsinghua University. In Zhivago, the most precious It is such a spirit, a free thought as an intellectual, an independent personality. Whether facing the revolution or after the revolution, Dr. Zhivago has maintained his personality. In such turbulent years, he always remained calm and sober. How precious is this calmness. Narrow nationalism, blind patriotism and political speculation or utilitarianism still surround us today. The existence of these consciousnesses greatly dilutes the most extensive and eternal love of mankind, the beautiful feelings shared by mankind.
The life of Zhivago and his poetry are the carrier of this beauty. The film repeatedly shows the beautiful sky, the different sky on the vast land of Russia, the sky of different seasons, and the eyes looking up at these sky are Zhiva. Ge’s soul. Zhivago can’t change the history of Russia, or even anyone around him, but he has never obeyed or catered to an era he doesn’t agree with. The greatest and most wise, but undoubtedly his heart is filled with the most precious sincerity, kindness and fearlessness in that totalitarian era. On the train, on the same day Vago opened that small window and saw the vast Russian land, sky, and forest outside the window. I know how much he loves this land. Even if he is separated from the dearest person, he will not Leave this land.
When I was in high school, when I listened to teacher Shen Zeyi from Huzhou Normal University to give a lecture, he mentioned his own experience as a worker in the Tao Yin ditch. I thought of a Tagore's poem he quoted. sigh. I can't find the original words. It means that the group of people who turned over will soon To oppress another group of people. This is politics and revolution. The first task of revolutionaries after success is to unify their thinking and eliminate dissidents. Dictators always do not allow the voice of freedom to appear. Freedom is easy to give birth to a sense of equality and it is easy to dissolve the hierarchy between social classes. Therefore, Zhivago’s situation has always been very embarrassing and difficult. Zhivago is so strong. Some people even say that Dr. Zhivago tells us: the farther the road, the stronger the heart. Even standing alone Opposite the wolves in the snowstorm. All he can do is maintain the integrity and purity of his heart with a weak life. In the turbulent waves of the times, I am awe-inspiring to be a poetic life with a slow and calm rhythm.
Many people interpret Dr. Zhivago as a love movie, because of the love between Yuri and Lara. The film is for Lara. The characterization of this character is obviously not as full as the novel. The great Russian woman. Pasternak has a poem like this: When life is in trouble and pain, you block the path of despair for me, and your beauty lies in The courage is full of courage, that is, it firmly binds you and me. Lara and Tonia have this temperament. It is just that Lara has more life force and is more attractive. Tonia is a relative of Uligo, and Lara But it is his lover. The most touching thing in the film is the four separations between Yuli and Lara. Every time I see large tears in his eyes. Especially the third parting, Yuli ran upstairs like crazy, Open the window because he knows that maybe he will never see Lala in this life, because he knows that he can't live in another country, and Lala as a mother, especially a mother who is pregnant with a child of Yuli, can't afford it. Choosing to leave. I was also touched by their second meeting and parting. When Lala met Yuli again in Yuliting, she also watched him in the same way. She couldn't believe to highlight her encounter, lowered her head to conceal her excitement. Yuli walked up to her and said to her, "Are you okay?"
The reunion makes it hard to conceal the enthusiasm that has been suppressed for a long time. Lara asked in the bed, "What shall we do?" Yuli said, "I don't know." They were like a pair of groundhogs in the grass, leaning against each other blankly. Looking at Tonia, whose stomach was bulging in the spring field, Yuli finally made up his mind to break up with Lara. Tonya is Yuli's wife, she loves her husband deeply, and she needs her husband more than ever, and she is about to give birth. Yuli came to town on horseback and told Lara that I would never come again. That was their second breakup, and Lala burst into tears. The cruelty of political struggle pervaded everyone in the Soviet Union at that time, and Yuri and Lara were just two trivial ones. When people can no longer control their own destiny, life and death are instantaneous accidents. Under such circumstances, love is obviously just a luxury. But regardless of the difference, suffering, death, Yuri and Lara let us believe that true love is invincible and true love is eternal.
The music of the movie is beautiful and very nice. Like a melancholic and romantic Russian symphony poem, Balalaika Lightly plucking the theme song of the film, starting from the expression of the characters’ sadness, has a poetic musical effect, to the end of the film, the symphony band’s passionate response, like a horse galloping away, giving the people who have experienced suffering a haze of soul Brought a glimmer of hope. There is also a beautiful scenery, like a deep and romantic Russian oil painting. The colors of spring, summer, autumn and winter are quietly hidden in the film.
