IMHO the greatest movie ever made.
“There was living space for thirteen families! In this one house!”
“Yes, this is a better arrangement, comrades. More just.”
As Maobama would say to the Gromeko family “You didn’t build that!”
An absolutely fantastic experience!
In 1966, I was in a troubled three year old marriage, and the care and affection that Zhivago showed to the sparkling blue eyed Lara, brought tears to my eyes - (Why not me??).
The entire experience was riveting, fabulous photography, and the scene where Zhivago sees her on the street so many years later, only to call after her and die of a heart attack on the spot, was so traumatic.
The finest experience ever!
Yes it was. IMO it was closer to the original book.
Agree Noob. one of the best movies of all time. Omar Sharif’s eyes are imprinted in my soul forever! I hope you went on to recover from the marriage and find happiness in your life.
I didn’t see this til just now so missed it. darn.
...................I hope you went on to recover from the marriage and find happiness in your life............
Thank you very much. I’m on my third marriage now, of 30 years,and I’m estatically happy!
................The remake with Keira Knightley is also good IMO....................
Please, please tell me more! I never knew that there was a remake of Zhivago. When??, what was the title??
Can’t wait to see it!
A difference, though, is that the young communists in Russia were idealistic in thinking they were helping the country, and did not realize that they were destroying the country. The Obama administration knows exactly what it is doing, though.....and it WANTS to destroy the country.
Excellent photoshop work!
I think it’s the beautiful score that just makes it for me. So haunting.
I always felt the film was of another scenario or circumstance in life that would never be allowed in the U.S. because of supposedly lessons learned about communism, socialism, etc. But now I see how easily freedom can slip away and be replaced by a godless, unfeeling people. God Help Us!
Aware of its length and wanting to be comfortable while watching it, I waited 'til it hit the Whitestone Drive-In in the Bronx in '67.
The score is pure genius. Maurice Jarre is up there with Ennio Morricone and Basil Pouledoris in my book.
"...for a man with any manhood."
Do you think he would leave that part out of the sentence? I do, too.
“Witness” was a very influential book for me. I didn’t read it until about eight years ago, but it made me see things in a much clearer (for me) light.
Indeed. Manhood is now a crime against the state according to the “gender neutral” crowd of which the entire modern day Democratic party is a part.
It was also called Dr Zhivago. I’m not sure if it was done as a TV miniseries or a movie, but I found the DVD in my library and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a little different from the original so it inspired me to read the book. I found this version closer to the book than the original, although I do love the original. Definitely worth checking out.
