Doctor Zhivago
[Summary from imdb.com]
A Russian epic, the movie traces the life of surgeon-poet Yury Zhivago before and during the Russian Revolution. Married to an upper-class girl who is devoted to him, yet in love with an unfortunate woman who becomes his muse, Zhivago is torn between fidelity and passion. Sympathetic with the revolution but shaken by the wars and purges, he struggles to retain his individualism as a humanist amid the spirit of collectivism.
My comment: Very very striking tale. For the thoughtful, not for the superficial. Prepare to cry.
Why did I watch this: To see Keira, of course. To not see Keira in a serious role is a shame for die-hard fans like me. And because, I love tragedies.
Favourite character: Lara Antipova :P Deeply flawed and so irresistable individual - and I mean irresistable, in the intellectual sense.
Least favourite character: Yury Zhivago (though he is widely considered the hero of the tale). Also deeply flawed but he cheated on his wife, left her watering the vegs, while he lay in the arms of Lara.
7 out of 10.
