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 to flee from Moscow to Varegino. The mountains were covered with snow, the sky was half-dark blue and purple, and there was only an endless snow field in the picture. A lonely train entered the picture, the head of the train The steam that came out seemed to be longer than a train, more lonely than loneliness. This picture stayed for a few seconds, maybe every audience was thinking, did he escape from loneliness, or fell into deeper loneliness, escaped disappointment, or fell into despair, where is the train heading, and how will Zhivago's fate change? , took out an abandoned city, but fell into a deserted place, and fate will never be stopped by escape. I remembered in the book Zhivago, like a homeless man, went back to Moscow to live with Markle, who taunted him "you shouldn't have left your home on the runway to Siberia when it was dangerous, you blame yourself." Thinking of the only train in the wilderness, he has no home since then, the country is not like the country, where is the home
? The perfect face with deep eyes, the twisted tone of Russian, which is a bit alien to people, the magical train carriage that sets the stage for all the plots, the reflection on politics of the intelligent East Slav director, all add up to a Soviet movie!
The later fate of Tonia is not described in the movie, I kept thinking, how was Tonia, the lovely Alexander' Alexandrovich, she knew that she had never had Zhivago's love, and How should I go with the child? I
thought about it for a long time until I finished reading the original book.

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.
