idealistic disillusionment

Kevin 2022-04-19 09:02:13

Films related to the Soviet Union are highly recognizable. The desolate and rich music sounds, the spirit of the white land is really clean, and the character modeling of mink waiters makes the blooming of the blue sky and white clouds even more precious. The epic spirit of this masterpiece shot by the British director is needless to say. The description of the revolution is the same as "Gone with the Wind", standing in the perspective of the revolutionaries, telling the joys and sorrows. The heroine's eyes are beautiful, but her lips are pulled down, which is not pleasing. I always feel that she should belong to the kind of person who is not firm enough. In the end, she still survives under the temptation of Victor, or for the person she loves. After all, she is someone who needs to rely on the strong. His younger brother likes her a little bit, and the film doesn't show her so charming. On the contrary, Tonya's virtuous atmosphere is well shaped. David Lynn is particularly good at making idealist disillusionment, as is Lawrence of Arabia. Because this is a Russian story shot by the British, and it was also during the Cold War, it seems to have a bit of political meaning now, and I don’t know if this original book has a tendency, and the people who were revolutionized are nostalgic for the good times before the revolution.

Doctor Zhivago quotes

  • Lara: You know, you often look at me as if you knew me.

    Zhivago: I have seen you before. Four years ago. Christmas Eve.

    Lara: Were you there? No wonder you look at me. Did you know Viktor Komarovsky?

    Zhivago: Yes I did. That young man who took you away...

    Lara: My husband.

    Zhivago: Lot of courage. He made the rest of us look very feeble. As a matter of fact, I thought you both did. Good man to shoot at.

    Lara: I'd give anything never to have met him.

  • The Girl: I'm not your niece, Comrade General.

    Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: Well, I'm nobody's idea of an uncle. But if this man were my father, I should want to know.
