      Life and death go hand in hand and I can't talk to Zicheng - "Doctor Zhivago" film review


      They met in a tram where the wires rubbed sparks.
      Of course, this is only the encounter we see in front of the screen
      . For the hero and heroine
      in the movie, they are
      just strangers to each other. People A and B
      don't know
      him . She happened to be sitting in the back row of her
      and they were
      just strangers who didn't know each other.
      This was the first time they met without knowing it. The

      second time he met

      Tragedy is the best chord in the movie

      ★8.5 "Doctor Zhivag": There will always be someone who can read poetry in life! The soundtrack that runs through the film is majestic and complements the soul-stirring background of the big era. Exquisite sets, sophisticated lighting, and extreme tones all restore history to the greatest extent possible. However, in the emotional narrative of Doctor Zhivag, the director lost the rhythm: the two relationships between Zhivag and his wife Tonya and his lover Lala were unclear in many places, and...

      A train in the vast snow field

      It has been half a year since I watched the movie. I recently finished reading the original book, and I remembered to write a movie review. The movie is so good and so different from the original book. Watching a movie is an easier process than reading a book. The actors like it very much, there are more scenes for love, the images of male and female protagonists are ideal, and the sadness of the political oppression of society is not so desperate. In a picture, the Zhivago family took a train...

      Doctor Zhivago

      This is a 1965 movie. The film is three hours and twenty minutes long. Based on the novel of the same name by Boris Pasternak. The novel won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958. This film has been in my hands for a long time, and I only took it out two days ago to watch it. After reading it, I feel like a mess, and I can't figure out a clue. So I found the original book and read it in two days. Then I started watching the movie a second time.

    Shooting process

    The film is adapted from a novel by a Russian poet. The entire Moscow set was set up outside Madrid; while the temporary hospital established by Zhivago and Nora during World War I, and Alexander Gromeko's ancestral home-"Varykino", were filmed in Soria. Since it is not possible to film the scene of the blizzard in Spain, part of the winter plot (mainly location) in the film and the scene where Zhivago escapes from the guerrillas were...

    The film only moves people through artistic forms. It is less beautiful and profound than the novel in terms of the depth of some social life in the turbulent times, the expression and expression of human nature, and the suffering and mediocre people (Jilin Daily Review)  .
    "Doctor Zhivago" has its wonderful and outstanding features, especially through visual processing methods, seemingly unintentional details or dialogue, and delicate...

    Movie quotes

    • Komarovski: [to Lara] And don't delude yourself that this was rape! That would flatter us both!

    • Zhivago: [to the local commissar after examining an old sickly man] It isn't typhus. It's another disease we don't have in Moscow... starvation.

    • Pasha: [to Yuri] The personal life is dead in Russia. History has killed it.
