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.

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.
