 Dr. Zhivago ALL TIME BEST October 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Dr. Zhivago IS one of the BEST movies of ALL TIME. A CLASSIC in drama, and the haunting "Lara's Theme" is ever popular music. Acting is superb, and movie should have won OSCAR for best film.
 Didn't enjoy it October 14, 2008

Dr Zhivago, does any film have a more "classic" reputation? I saw this last night and to my surprise, really didn't enjoy it at all.
Granted, the cinematography is amazing. The scenes of snowy night-time Russian streets are incredibly atmospheric even on a TV- it must have been enthralling on a big screen. The music score too is very good, albeit a bit repetitive.
The problem I really had with this movie is that I found the characters so fundamentally unlikeable that getting immersed into the movie impossible. From a greasy goateed mumbling Rod Steiger calling Julie Christie a slut, to the doctor assuring Dr Zhivago that he'll "put the b*tch in hospital" (nice), to the young idealist who says he loves Marxism more than Lara (who said romance is dead?) to the expressionless policeman Alec Guiness who seems to be a perambulatory window dummy. Then Dr Zhivago himself, a young man who marries his stepsister and then makes it quite clear that he fancies Lara. Marrying your stepsister? That's pretty sleazy.
Apart from that the film is so obviously a product of the 1960s, both visually and stylistically that the kitsch factor is hard to ignore.

There is beautiful, then there is Julie Christy September 24, 2008

Not much to add to the positive reviews, this is a truly great movie, and one of the few love stories I care to watch.
That said, Julie Christy transcends the term 'beautiful' in this film. She is so radiant, so gorgeous, so stunning that she is worth the price of admission alone.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
