    When I was in junior high school, I was deeply impressed by the "revolutionary" Pasha. When I watched it on TV again in the fall of 2015, I realized how little he played. The film review I wrote for this film when I was in junior high school is one of my earliest film reviews. The person who attacked me at that time was probably the current Dr. Lu! But no matter how time passes, my reservations remain the same. Lean's film isn't very Russian; the characters are especially shriveled under the weight of the revolution.

Doctor Zhivago quotes

  • Pasha: I used to admire your poetry.

    Zhivago: Thank you.

    Pasha: I shouldn't admire it now. I should find it absurdly personal. Don't you agree? Feelings, insights, affections... it's suddenly trivial now. You don't agree; you're wrong. The personal life is dead in Russia. History has killed it. I can see why you might hate me.

    Zhivago: I hate everything you say, but not enough to kill you for it.

  • Pasha: The private life is dead - for a man with any manhood.

    Zhivago: I saw some of your 'manhood' on the way at a place called Minsk.

    Pasha: They were selling horses to the Whites.

    Zhivago: It seems you've burnt the wrong village.

    Pasha: They always say that, and what does it matter? A village betrays us, a village is burned. The point's made.

    Zhivago: Your point - their village.
