According to the teacher, "Doctor Zhivago" is Cheng Yizhong's favorite movie, so I went to watch it for this reason. The whole film gave me the feeling that it was painless—too little about history; one brushstroke about country; There are many places where it can be carefully photographed, and it is only a touch of water that penetrates deep into the hearts of the audience. The shots are straightforward and flat, so the emotions conveyed are not full enough.
So, this movie brought me back to the question I thought about when I watched "This Life and This World" before: Is devotion a moral responsibility? Like Zhivago, he loved Lara all his life, but Lara is someone else's wife, and someone else's beloved wife. A man who has a pregnant wife and is deeply in love with other women.
This is indeed a question that varies from person to person, but I absolutely disagree with that kind of economic interpretation, which is called "no contract", "free choice in the market", "free transaction". This method of interpretation, like the Bolshevik Moscow, is ruthless and impersonal.
Dr. Zhivago is a typical "bourgeois", who does not worry about food and clothing, likes poetry, and is full of justice and compassion. He would smile when he saw the moon in the moor, the flowers in the sun, the sun in the woods, and his poet's heart could not contain a little dirt.
He survived that era, and finally died with dignity. A lot of people came to his funeral. Even after the great upheaval in Russia, his life trajectory is typical of the so-called "petty bourgeoisie". In such an era, there is such a fate, I do not know whether it is lucky or unfortunate.

    It's so boring. No matter how well-made it is, it can't cover up this failure.
