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.

    In fact, it's not that the movie is really bad, but the relative distance from the original is too big.

    8/10. After the intermission, the black screen lasted for a minute, and when the whistle blew out of the hole, it suddenly became bright. The train went forward carrying the revolution that wiped out all meaning of life, but love happened quietly, just like Zhivago and Lana after breaking up and returning to the house, the prospect faded. The chrysanthemums, like a little candlelight from a cold frosty window, illuminate the poet's heart. The wild flowers and silver-covered beauty embody the fascination and harshness of Russian life. David Lean's visual language demonstrates his ability to control narrative: Parcy's revolutionary leaflets were just confiscated by the police, and he immediately took out a stack from his pocket and distributed it to the surrounding workers, showing his fearless spirit of rebellion; Lana and Zhiva After the dance, Ge threw directly to the scene of the two eating, and the singing of the parade was heard outside. Lana's boyfriend Passy was in the parade, and the atmosphere was tense, paving the way for the follow-up development of the relationship between the characters; Passy was hit by a cannonball while charging, only through a drop. The glasses that fell, implicitly explained that his thoughts began to turn cold. After the mother's burial, the wind whistling in the woods, the moonlight outside the hole in the stuffy tanker, the bad news of the wife's imprisonment accompanied by the falling of the grand piano, and the illegitimate daughter at the end to switch between the dam and the rainbow.
