[QUOTE="ashdoc, post: 199494, member: 15932"] [b]Re: Ashdoc's movie review---couple of old movies i saw on DVD[/b] [B]Dr Zhivago---[/B] The movie tells the saga of the Russian revolution through the story of Dr Zhivago---a doctor and a poet.... It's the story of Russia through those turbulent times.... A story of lives torn apart.... A story of peoples' existence buffeted by the giant winds of history.... A story of human privacy extinguished and finished.... A story of personal feelings and ambitions crushed by the power of the state.... And amidst all this , one man ( Dr Zhivago ) tries desperately to hold on to his life and his dignity and his freedom.... And amidst all the horror around him , he finds time for love and passion and romance.... But those sweet moments of love and passion and romance come all too briefly for Dr Zhivago.... They come too briefly for him because all around him the revolution is destroying lives and putting an end to freedom.... Yet in getting those tender moments of love and romance , Dr Zhivago is an exceptionally lucky Russian.... Yes , exceptionally lucky because all around him people are fighting and dying and killing.... That's the condition of Russia in those stormy days.... A condition that is brought about magnificently in this film.... The film brings about the Russian revolution to life in all it's glory and suffering and pity and devastation.... But it's a film.... And as films go , it's main concentration is on an individual's life and his triumphs and his tragedies.... Sadly , there are more tragedies than triumphs in the life of Dr Zhivago.... And the same is story of every Russian.... Indeed , your heart goes out to every Russian male and female to have gone through so much grief.... And you salute their endurance to endure it all.... So what about the story of Dr Zhivago ?? It's long and convoluted and full of coincidental encounters of people in the most unlikeliest of places---encounters that propel the story forward.... And what a story and what a film.... Embellished with superb photography showcasing the incredible vastness of Russia.... Photography of the Russian landscape full of massive plains and swift flowing rivers and snowcapped mountain peaks.... And a film with a scintillating and heartstopping musical score known as Lara's theme which one listens to in awestruck silence..... Geraldine Chaplin plays Zhivago's wife and the stunning Julie Christie plays his lover , and together the form a love triangle that never explodes into confrontation.... But what explodes is the history of Russia as Russians' peaceful lives are disrupted by the first world war.... As the Germans invade Russia , the communists are hoping for a Russian defeat---for defeat will bring about the revolution they want.... And as revolution comes , the lives of Dr Zhivago and his wife and the woman he eventually falls in love with go topsyturvy like a seesaw as they are thrown from one place to another.... From Moscow to Siberia they are thrown in a cattle train being transported like animals.... From the train to a lovely dacha hidden in the snowy mountains--- a dacha which forms a love nest for Zhivago and his wife and later for Zhivago and his lover.... But Dr Zhivago's services are needed by the red army and he is forced to abandon both his women to serve in the army.... And when he escapes , he returns to find his wife deported to a foreign land.... And Lara ( Zhivago's lover )---what about her ?? A beautiful woman like her has too many admirers and she has a past of being raped and later of having a husband who is a bolshevic..... The stories of Dr Zhivago and his wife and Lara and her husband and rapist are all twisted and churned by the tidal wave of Russia's history.... First the world war and then the revolution and then civil war... As they are all brought together and separated and then brought together again by the turns in the story , the main question is---can they survive it all....?? And is survival worth it ?? Has life any meaning at all in all the horror ?? Watch the movie for answers to all this.... I guarantee that your money wont be wasted.... Verdict---fabulous . [/QUOTE]
