Doctor Zhivago - David Lean


Sorry I have not written for a long time, I am currently going through some exams at University so have not had a lot of time to watch films but after today's film I decided to watch the next one! Dr Zhivago, always seen as a classic, has now been viewed. It pleasantly surprised me. It was a very lovely film, it was not funny, it was not scary, it was not thrilling; it just felt like a nice movie.

The bit which interested me the most was the part in the train where Zhivago and his wife and her father are riding to somewhere better. Another scene was the marching through the snow and the rebellion on the street, otherwise it was a lovely film.

I really cannot describe how on the fence I am with this film, on one hand it actually held my attention for 3 hours plus, but on the other hand it didn't capture my imagination. I do not think I can explain anymore. Just one more note, Alec Guinness rocks my world, and Julie Christie was very beautiful in her hay-day.

It gets a 5 out of 10 from me, due to all the reasons stated above. Sorry I did not say more but it is hard to say something about a film that I do not know what I think about it.
