Because it is long and heavy, I waited until this gloomy, unwilling afternoon to watch this film based on the Russian writer Pasternak's 1958 Nobel Prize-winning work.

He and she were two people who had never met on a tram. They passed by each other, unaware that the parallel lines of life would meet in an earth-shattering manner under the mockery of fate; After the years of ups and downs, life and death, they formed a soul mate of spiritual harmony, and the trajectory of life returned to two parallel lines again, passing by again, he screamed, ran, fell, and said goodbye.

I don't support their love, because it's too unfair to Donia; but I can't ignore the shocking things they have experienced as individuals in the years of war and social unrest in the name of the people forever, Cruel and unreasonable.

The White Guards or the Red Guards are nothing but soldiers; the bourgeoisie or the proletariat are nothing but a crowd. Seeing the scenes in the movie that coincide with our not-so-distant history, I know that some memories can never be escaped.

It was supposed to be more famous, but it lost to The Sound of Music at the Oscars that year. But this in no way affects the fact that it is a monumental work reflecting on the destiny of nations and individuals.

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.
