Will need to watch Dr Zhivago again to look for similarities.
It always warms my heart when someone mentions the best film ever made (IMO). It contains scenes and dialogue directly parallel to what we're seeing in our beloved country today. In that sense it's a lot like what Orwell observed.
Prune-faced soviet delegate retrieves Zhivago from his work at the hospital to check on a skeletal old man. The two are walking back to Zhivago's former home, now crawling with commies.
Z: "You had no right whatever to take me from my work!"
Prune-face: "As soviet deputy..."
Z: "That gives you the power, not the right."
