DownGoesFrazier Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I still haven't seen it. I know it's on a lot but every time it comes on I think oh 3 hrs maybe next time. I planned to record it Monday for Omar's tribute but forgot so another time it is again. I also own the book but have not read it. I always thought that the only people who have not seen DOCTOR ZHIVAGO are people that don't know what TCM stands for. Link to post Share on other sites
NipkowDisc Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I can't wait for the next showing of Doctor Zhivago. I love that train ride. what's the name of that place? yuri-atin? Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Here you go everyone. The 50th anniversary is here and a new restoration is about to hit theatres. Warning to epileptics: this trailer has those annoying fade to blacks every few seconds that unimaginative editors are in love with these days. Link to post Share on other sites

Warning to epileptics: this trailer has those annoying fade to blacks every few seconds that unimaginative editors are in love with these days. OMG- that music score is SO BANAL too. I will say this: it looks gorgeous- I actually thought the first few shots were part of a youtube ad, they looked as if they were filmed today. i'm with you on the fade to black edits, although if I could watch the entire movie boiled down to 20 minutes of scenes fading to black, i'd take over the whole THREE HOUR slog that is ZHIVAGO.

LornaHansonForbes Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 You know, I've recently been watching a few Powell and Pressburger films, and while I realize that David Lean did some absolutely incredible movies, their whole body of work has a lot more humor and is a bit more easy going and they took more artistic risks than David Lean did in his. I won't say that they were better, but overall their stuff tends to be more accessible and more fun and- dare i say it?- leaner and meaner machines than Lean's work overall.

FredCDobbs Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I can't wait for the next showing of Doctor Zhivago. I love that train ride. what's the name of that place? yuri-atin? Classic Dr. ZhivagoOne of the greatest Russian novels of the C20th – adapted repeatedly for both the big and small screens with all-star casts – is itself set on the Trans-Siberian line… Pasternak’s “Dr Zhivago”. All the action that takes place at Zhivago’s old country house, and the town of “Yuriatin” near it, is in fact set around Perm, the real city fictionalised as “Yuriatin”. This unique itinerary combines a classic Trans-Sib trip with some special Zhivago-related visits in and around Perm… the city where its author lived and drafted the novel. http://www.trans-siberian.co.uk/package/classic-dr-zhivago-st-petersburg-to-beijing/ Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if audiences of today might like it better than we do? The music is annoying, but for me the killer is the glorifying of adultery. Otherwise, this historical elements & scenery are magnificent. Link to post Share on other sites

MovieMadness Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Has anyone thought of turning this into a Broadway musical? It is so happy and lively. The train ride scene I am sure would have everyone up on their feet. They could serve a piece of stale bread and dirty water at intermission. Link to post Share on other sites

Emily Dean Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 For me it is a toss up between Lawrence of Arabia and this film....too much, too much. I would rather celebrate David Lean's films, IN WHICH WE SERVE and BRIEF ENCOUNTER which were intimate and character driven with much subtlety....thank goodness. Link to post Share on other sites

I belong with you. she couldn't fool him. with a grim determination, he is always there for her. in his own way of course. Link to post Share on other sites
