dude, its Dr. Zhivago. There's a reason you've probably at least heard of it. Its because this one can almost be called a supreme classic. Its just a classic, though.
-
MCT:June 26, 2008Good portrait of the Russian Revolution but too long and I couldn't feel empathy towards Lara... Omar Sharif was really goodlooking!

MCT:June 22, 2008Dr. Zhivago is perhaps the last grand epic from MGM studios. It's expansive landscapes and breathtaking scenery make me sad that I missed seeing it on the big screen. A romantic, complex love story set against the backdrop of Russia's turbulent history that held my undivided attention for its entire three hour run time. Perfectly cast and brilliantly presented. This might be the most manly "chic-flick" ever made.

I also love historical epics and I don't think anyone does them, better than Lean. This film is one of the most beautifully filmed movie I can remember. Russia is so beautiful in the winter. I agree with Atoddr that the love story isn't quite fleshed out enough. And this shouldn't be in a 3 hour movie. I think the film makers got too caught up in showing us the beauty of Russia. The acting though is superb. Sharif gives us another excellent performance almost matching his one in Lawrence of Arabia. Julie Christie is also great. Guinness, a Lean regular, gives a more subdued performance, but offers the audience a familiar face. Rod Steiger though is has probably the meatiest role and he is wonderful and menacing. You don't like him from the first, but your not sure why.
Of course as always in a David Lean film the music is the highlight.Maurice Jarre (Lawrence of Arabia) makes another sweeping and beautiul score. -
MCT:June 5, 2008Dr Zhivago is a true classic movie, & one of my favorites. Zhivago (Sharif) is torn between the love of two women. His wife, (Chaplin) a sweet,and devoted woman, or Lara, (Christie) the beautiful woman he loves, & desires with all his heart, & soul.
The beautiful song "Lara's Theme" originated from Dr Zhivago. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that have not seen it. Beautifully done!! -

the classic story of Yuri and his two loves Tanya and Lara and events that take place during the Russian Revolution
-
MCT:May 13, 2008Someday I'll break down and watch this...after all I rated Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia 5 stars...so how bad could it be?

This is my all time favorite! It's not just the story (the book was better). It is just a wonderfully made movie.

As much as I wanted to love this film, I just couldn't get into it the entire time. The acting, sets, and direction were all very well done, but it was very boring in parts, and was way too long. A long running time doesn't mean a bad movie, but this film could've cut at least 40 minutes.

a very strong film that never lost my interest. intriguing characters, believably dramatic plot with captivating personal and historical context. certain aspects of the cinematography struck me as abrupt and amateurish, but it didn't subtract too much from the movie's overall quality. my one complaint about this movie is Yuri and Lara's romance (the most fundamental but also the most unappealing story element).

David Lean's sprawling epic is expertly directed and acted and features stunning photography and brilliant set-pieces. Maurice Jarre's now classic score is one of the finest ever composed for a motion picture.

Long, Long, Long love story involving using the history of Russia and its transformation to the USSR as a backdrop. Good film, might doze off a bit.

Another classic and a must!
20th century novel by Boris Pasternak, named after its protagonist, Yuri Zhivago, a medical doctor and poet ... -

Great filmmaking, I guess. But boring as all hell. Way too long. I don't care if I sound ignorant. Way too long and boring to hold any interest.
-

Como las peliculas de esa epoca esta dura como 4 horas... y Zhivago no se arrejunta con el personaje de Julie hasta la mitad..pero la pelicula es una pieza sublime de la cinematrografia mundial!!
-
MCT:January 25, 2008An epic romantic classic AKA ultimate boredom. Three and a half hours of complete blankness- there is nothing in this film for me, and I definitely don't get why anyone would sit down to it for a second time thinking 'this'll be a pleasant afternoon pastime'. Never again, PLEASE...

Another David Lean masterpiece. Epic storytelling, stunning cinematography and heart-wrenching performances. The film has become legend. Its influence is ever-reaching. They don't make them quite this way anymore.
-
MCT:January 16, 2008I know it's a classic; I just can't get into it no matter how many times I try. Must be something wrong with me.

This film always leaves me speechless. What can I say about it? Besides how great the acting is, how rich and involving the story is, and how so utterly heartbreaking its conclusion.

What else can be said about this classic? Yeah, one of the few classic romantic films that has escaped the realm of the mushy and the 'ewww yucky!'.
