1. The original work of Doctor Zhivago: It was written by the former Soviet writer Pasternak and won the Nobel Prize for Literature, but it was banned in Russia for decades, and Pasternak was forced to give up After receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature, he was almost expelled from his nationality, and finally ended in a gloomy criticism. He is the only writer in the 100-year history of the Nobel Prize who did not win honors because of the award, but instead caused shame and disaster. 2. The director of the movie "Doctor Zhivag": David Lean: He made 16 films, won 56 Oscar nominations, and won two Best Director Awards. He is known as the dean of the British film industry. "The Bridge on the River Kwai", "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago", the three films are called David Lean's epic trilogy. 3. The movie "Doctor Zhivago" won the 38th Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography for Color Film, Best Art Direction and Set for Color Film, Best Score Award 4. "Doctor Zhivago" shows the revolution of 1905 , the First World War, the February Revolution, the "October Revolution", the vivid scrolls and brutal landscapes of the New Economic Policy, an apolitical interpretation of the vicissitudes of Russia's history, and revealing the tragic nature of human existence in the midst of great changes in reality and historical torrents 5. When this film was made, the original book was still banned in Russia, the film was shot in Spain, Finland and Canada, and many snow and ice weather were shot at high temperatures 6. I personally feel that this film is not as good as another David Lean film The movie "Lawrence of Arabia" is really a classic forever (I went to the filming location for a tour when I went to Jordan). The Russian grand novels are still made by Lao Maozi himself, which is more flavorful; Hollywood can always make the Russian epic grand works like a romantic movie, but the format is small. Comparing the American version of "War and Peace" with the Soviet version, you will find a great difference The onset of illness and sudden death on the sidewalk is a stroke of genius.

    These four words are really good to describe the late period, the more David Lean goes into big production, the more empty and boring he sees, the delicate and elegant in the early days has also become cliché and hypocritical, obsessed with the production of crowded scenes and the big vision, in addition to this The outdated narrative method, even the lighting and the use of scenes are so rigid, the stage effect of the studio scene is not convincing at all, how can it be beautiful? The more serious problem is that if the political nature of the original work is almost deleted in the revised chapter, there is no reason. The hero's helplessness for his life and the tragedies he has witnessed will reflect the changes in Russian society in class and society through a long poem summary. It is one of the knots in the heart. What the actor is involved in is not fate, but cruel real politics. He can't help it, not to mention that his character and idealism cannot be expressed, which has already shown his naivety in Lean's previous work. Naive, let alone a personal opinion, he just turned into a craftsman with a cleanliness addiction. Compared with Visconti's "Il Gattopardo" two years earlier, the latter is not just a picture of the bourgeoisie's inability to the revolutionary period.

    Although it is also very desolate, it is not very good to have such pure love.
