Oh how delightful to shut-out for a brief moment a world so soured by politicos and just enjoy a beautiful piece of music. Timeless and wonderful. Thanks for sharing this with us all. :)
One of the best films ever made, following one of the best books ever written. The scenery is stunning, the acting superb, and the storyline is just amazing. Well done David Lean - RIP.
I used to see it the old one,Omah's version on tv a few years ago.sSince I love it so much,I bought a VCD.I 've seen it hundred times! It's really a classic! No others can compare with it!Great story, great characters,great acting，great theme music comes a classic！
This Music piece is one of the best and unique in world music as it runs in all 12 keys of music( i have not come across any other piece any where). So it contains all notes of music within it.
The original one directed by David Lean in 1960s is a classic. The acting had been more subtle & the whole movie more closely depicts the turbulent environment then existed in Russia to cause this kind of relationships to blossom among people of different social, educational & economic backgrounds.The BBC mini series in which Keira Knightly acted is a relatively a much cheaper & crappy version.The entire film is very melodramatic, in fact that's something seen in Keira Knightly in abundance.
Maurice Jarre wrote a brilliant score for the David Lean 1965 film of Dr.Zhivago and totally fucked it up with this weak "Lara's Theme", Unfortuantely it was Lean's fault as he wanted something "popular" to be included so the composer had to compromise his art. Still, Lean was a cinematic genius with few equals.
My Grandmother loved this song, and it always made her cry, with the saddest contermplative look on her face. It reminded her (especially the strumming mandolin-sounding balilaika) of the music of Sicily she remembers from her early childhood.
No, no, no ... they are the only one... Just Julie and Omar ... Lara and Yuri ... They gonna live forever... and a splendid cast too...Doctor Shivago film is a master piece of David Lean ...Simply can not make a new version, is a cult film.
Maurice Jarre is a terrific composer. Renowned director Satyajith Ray once commented that he wanted Jarre to compose for his films. He was such a director's composer.
Uma inolvidável canção, tema musical de uma fabulosa super-produção cinematográfica "Doutor Zhivago", baseada na obra de Boris Pasternak (prémio Nobel da Literatura)!
Nach dem Film fühlt man sich irgendwie WUNDERVOLL. Ganz anders als vor dem Film und Während dem film.
Man erinnert sich einfach an diese SCHÖNEN Landschaften vom film und denkt sich MAN den will ich wieder sehen ^^ Warum habe ich bloß nicht genossen während ich ihn angeschaut hab ^^ aber ich habe ihn ja zum Glück auf Blu Ray
What is possible don't love this wonderfull music. A great film, a great music, a lot of great actors. I'm an old Morricone's fan and I love his themes, but in front of this music, I cry.
Kiera Knightley and the other guy show no class whatsoever....Why did they bring in them when there already was an amazing romantic and wonderful couple known as Julie Christie-Omar Sharif, and Omar looks so much like the Dr. Zhivago that i imagined, and Julie looks the Lara i imagined....
@ozasatya , new adaptations of classic books are made all the time - Emma, Lorna Doone, Tess Of The D'Urbervilles, Wuthering Heights etc. Some people have their own vision and want to share it, nothing wrong with that. You don't have to like it, but there's nothing wrong with someone else trying to capture a novel in a different way.
@Muirmaiden When an amazing book is brought to life by an equally amazing film, people tend to think the two as a married couple. When an inferior but modernized version comes along, it's like a kid seeing his dad divorce his mother for a younger woman. People react strongly to what they feel should be left alone because so little is done right these days in art and entertainment.
@Communismcomrade , then don't watch it. Like I said, you don't have to like it. In many ways the miniseries was closer to the book. I see the merit in both adaptations and I happen to like both.
@Muirmaiden Yes they do make new adaptations all the time.....and its great you liked them both, but its cheap , unoriginal, lacking the genius that shone through in the original. Lets repaint the Mona Lisa , give the Pantheon a makeover, or make the pyramids square-shaped shall we, just for the sake of, all because the spirit, the passion is gone. Its not right, dont defend it. If only you could see that many remakes are just a cynical ploy for waning stars to literally steal the spotlight.
@worldcoup , that's your opinion. But a new adaptation is not on par with a remake, because they base a new adaptation on the original source material, not on a prior film version. In many ways the miniseries is closer the book than the 1965 film.
@Muirmaiden Thank you for saying that. Magnificent litterature is meant to be used and certainly not just in the way that it was - brilliantly so - done in the 60s.
@Communismcomrade Moreover, it's main fault for me is that the replacement of a great work of art -- like Zhivago or South Pacific -- with an altogether inferior sort is rather blasphemous... Films are works of art, and great films great works of art; they don't take their legitimacy entirely from their date, so each generation need not renew its appreciation by messing them up! If they can improve upon them, then so be it....but...but...but....
@Communismcomrade What is wrong, for heaven's sake, are you out of your mind to startle innocent bypassers like me, blabbering about 'slitting your throat'?? What a monstruous mind youve got, to overreact on the internet? Sloppy autist!! Woe on you!!!!
@Communismcomrade AND: you COULD have taken the trouble to inform any persons living outside your pompous cocoon, about WHAT it was which frustrated you in the first place, you unbelievable maniac!! Youre suicidal and a real piece of garbage!
@cowfordflorida1 I know we are the only truely FREE country in the world, but I'm positive no one makes anyone watch American movies! I haven't seen a good British film, singer, or athlete come out of your country yet myself! That includes this stupid movie, which was to me a major snooze fest big time, kind of right up there with Austin Powers if you really must know! But like your opinion, mine is just as unimportant and trivial as well! Get over yourself and just enjoy what you can!
@cowfordflorida1 Okay. I was just thinking that some of the best movies out there were American made. The best one voted by the People's Choice Awards for the best movie ever made was Gone With The Wind and blows Zhivago completely out of the running for quality and scope! And it managed to keep my interest from start to finish! It's my all time favorite movie and Zhavago doesn't even come close to it! Again just my personal opinion which don't mean a whole lot to anyone! LOL!!! God bless!!!
@Fantazunique1962 don't get me wrong, I'm not saying america doesn't make good movies, they have some amazing movies. in fact most of my favorite movies are american
but that doesn't change the fact that most of them are bad
@cowfordflorida1 Yes, some, if not the majority of them, can be real stinkers, I agree. They sure don't make good movies like they used to. Any more they gotta throw sex scenes in where they have no real place and that sometimes gets quite aggravating to say the least. Wish Hollywood had the kind of class they used to have when they did make Gone With The Wind and all those other great movies. Times do change and not always for the better!
@cowfordflorida1 I finally went back just now and read what Anton77bin had to say about us. To each their own, I expect, but ain't it kind of funny how when it comes to saving everyone elses ass, they always call on us Yanks to come in and dig them out of trouble!!! Amazes me just how wonderfully grateful they all can be after we've saved their asses from hell and damnation, huh? Thank God for us Yanks and the way we take care of all of them across the big pond!! Our Military rocks!! God bless!
saw the first Dr. Zhivago at a "rocking chair theater" when it first came out and played for over a year. My Grandparents on a rare visit(Christmas) and our family went to see movie and thoroughly enjoyed until we came out from theater discovered snow on the ground(va) and someone had thrown a large rock through grandparents rear window, we cleaned up glass and had cold ride home reminiescent to Lara's ride in open sled.
I know a Russian girl from Moscow called Larisa ( Lara ). I think, with her blue eyes and a small nose, she is one of the most beautiful girls in the world.
At roughly :17 seconds, the actress in the grey hat strongly resembles modern day actress Kiera Knightly... The resembleance is scarey! This is such a timeless piece, evocative of such memories of neing a child when the song was popular.
like somebody stated a long time ago in regards to this video, at the 1:58 pt. of this video, if there is a more beautiful image of the "hollywood" female in the last 50 years, I haven't seen it!!
The miniseries with Keira Knightley and Hans Matheson was NOT a remake, it was a new adaptation based on the book. A remake is when they based a presentation on an earlier film - which is not what the BBC production was. FYI.
I really am sick of the fact that this was remade with Kierra Knighltly? Ugh. Terrible. This ruins things. The grandest of films can't be well enough alone. It is not that I don't like Kierra,but even without watching the remake...I can see a lot of "fake" "fake" "fake"....
@HolliRos , it was not a remake, it was a new adaptation based on the book, not on the earlier Lean film. You have a right to dislike it, but don't label something a remake unless it is. I liked the BBC mini because it was more than one part, and it captured quite a lot of the book compared to the 1965 one. But I like both films.
een verhaal uit de tijd toen gsm's en internet de passie nog niet uit ons leven hadden verdreven... Stel je eens voor wat het is, iemand van wie je houdt, te zien vertrekken en tijdenlang niets van hem of haar te vernemen, niet te weten of hij/zij het goed stelt, nog leeft of wat ze meemaken... Vandaag stuur je een sms'je, vroeger leefde je in de onzekerheid en was het verlangen naar het weerzien passioneel. Wat verlang ik soms terug naar die tijd...
The horror of war...a cheating doctor...the scene where pasha leads his men over the top...the cavalry charge over the river...the massacre in the wheat fields...only 13, seen this movie 10 times in the past 3.What got me into great war Russian reenactment.And who could forget "happy men don't volunteer"
Are you really that dense headed? Dr. Zhivago is a COMPLETELY different movie than your pathetic star wars or terminator. They're in separate genres, idiot. So you can't compare them, assclown!!
I admitted that. You can't call Star Wars pathetic. Why:
Inflation adjusted US box off figs:
Dr. Zhivago: $975,704,700, based on novel, two tv series
Star Wars: $1,400,020,000, franchise includes 5 other movies, over 200 books, dozens of video games, and other merchandise, a random U.S. citizen today will probably know Star Wars and its theme, not Dr. Zhivago and Lara's theme
whether you like it or not, Star Wars is more successful, but Jarre's score is great thanks for posting.
One of my all time favourite movie themes - it IS the representative theme for high romance, epic drama, sweeping landscapes with thousands of extras - the stuff of director David Lean. Great arrangement by Maurice Jarre. Sorry, Keira Knightley doesn't belong on a video with this theme soundtrack.
@mzhivago925 It's difficult to answer to that your funny (= tragic) comment. My advice: continue to see Star Wars. And I will see this film once again. Bye.
@petereuropa Maybe Star Wars was a bit too different to compare this film to. I do like other old movies like Casablanca, Vertigo, and Dr. Strangelove, just not this. Thanks for the great advice though.
@petereuropa Maybe Star Wars was a bit too different to compare it to. I do like other old movies like Casablanca, Vertigo, and Dr. Strangelove. Just not this. Thanks for the great advice though, I'll follow it. Bye.
Lara has a theme which I thought was the best of all love instrumentals ever. It shines the hope for an unfortunate woman who provided as a muse for a poet who needed a voice in life. That, along with the fine picture quality, an epic storyline, and its theatrical release during the Cold War, is what made the original Doctor Zhivago so memorable. The 2002 TV version which I happened to have seen recently was actually a different story.
well...this is one tune which makes my heart flutter...there has to be something magical...so pacifying music.. divine...whenever i am sad..i listen to this one...and the very next moment ..i m smiling..dancing..its magic !
The music is great as always, but the quality of the photos are disappointing , for anybody that remembers the original 60's film there can only ever be one Lara........
@AlexandreFilho1705 well Keira is not that bad after all :)...both her and Julie Christie are beauties in different eras ;)...Hans Matheson is also hot, like Omar Sharif, just in a different way
There are more 40 year old virgins in the world than Julie Christies! I surely fell in love with her during this film and I have a sneaking suspicion there were others.
@XISatu Ha ha. Touche, my friend. I like a man who responds with more than just "You're gay! Fuck you!" Good to know there are still intelligent lifeforms out there.
@profoundlylovemusic This music sucks. This is what the Looney Tunes play when they are balancing on a high wire. Ethereal beauty? Man, you got it bad... I like Britney Spears, like, majorly... but I wouldn't say anyone has ethereal beauty.... what does that even mean? We're all compost, dude... or chick...
@UltimaSlacker Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich were ethereal beauties. Julie Christie in my opinion was beautyfull and sexy, not ethereal. And by the way, some of us are not yet compost.
So, old version, new version... pretty girl, annoying Keira Knightley, and so on and so forth.... followed by some other nameless douchebags who found one of those cheapo cameras. (Yeah, I stayed up all night, can you tell?)
How wonderful,As a child I rememder the movie,it was sad but the music so sweet. Julie C and Omar S . To me it's just warm and beautiful.

The miniseries with Keira Knightley and Hans Matheson was NOT a remake, it was a new adaptation based on the book. A remake is when they based a presentation on an earlier film - which is not what the BBC production was. FYI.

I really am sick of the fact that this was remade with Kierra Knighltly? Ugh. Terrible. This ruins things. The grandest of films can't be well enough alone. It is not that I don't like Kierra,but even without watching the remake...I can see a lot of "fake" "fake" "fake"....

@HolliRos I've seen the new one with her and I actually really enjoyed it! It's very different from the original, a lot darker and more realistic.

@HolliRos , it was not a remake, it was a new adaptation based on the book, not on the earlier Lean film. You have a right to dislike it, but don't label something a remake unless it is. I liked the BBC mini because it was more than one part, and it captured quite a lot of the book compared to the 1965 one. But I like both films.

Actors looked more adult in the earlier screen version. In the later one the two leads look like teenagers.
Why do the earlier movies have actors and actresses who look more adult and have character in their faces? Today's stars are so baby-faced.

een verhaal uit de tijd toen gsm's en internet de passie nog niet uit ons leven hadden verdreven... Stel je eens voor wat het is, iemand van wie je houdt, te zien vertrekken en tijdenlang niets van hem of haar te vernemen, niet te weten of hij/zij het goed stelt, nog leeft of wat ze meemaken... Vandaag stuur je een sms'je, vroeger leefde je in de onzekerheid en was het verlangen naar het weerzien passioneel. Wat verlang ik soms terug naar die tijd...

My mother read Pasternak's Zhivago and she also saw the movie.
I was named after this movie, because she loved this romance between Juri and Lara.
She also found,that Julie Christie is gorgeous.
I love this movie too. At the end of this film I always cry :( because it's soooo sad.
And I'm very proud to have such a wonderful name :D

@mzhivago925;
Are you really that dense headed? Dr. Zhivago is a COMPLETELY different movie than your pathetic star wars or terminator. They're in separate genres, idiot. So you can't compare them, assclown!!
nothelpfull 7 months ago
@nothelpfull
I admitted that. You can't call Star Wars pathetic. Why:
Inflation adjusted US box off figs:
Dr. Zhivago: $975,704,700, based on novel, two tv series
Star Wars: $1,400,020,000, franchise includes 5 other movies, over 200 books, dozens of video games, and other merchandise, a random U.S. citizen today will probably know Star Wars and its theme, not Dr. Zhivago and Lara's theme
whether you like it or not, Star Wars is more successful, but Jarre's score is great thanks for posting.

One of my all time favourite movie themes - it IS the representative theme for high romance, epic drama, sweeping landscapes with thousands of extras - the stuff of director David Lean. Great arrangement by Maurice Jarre. Sorry, Keira Knightley doesn't belong on a video with this theme soundtrack.

@petereuropa Maybe Star Wars was a bit too different to compare this film to. I do like other old movies like Casablanca, Vertigo, and Dr. Strangelove, just not this. Thanks for the great advice though.

Lara has a theme which I thought was the best of all love instrumentals ever. It shines the hope for an unfortunate woman who provided as a muse for a poet who needed a voice in life. That, along with the fine picture quality, an epic storyline, and its theatrical release during the Cold War, is what made the original Doctor Zhivago so memorable. The 2002 TV version which I happened to have seen recently was actually a different story.
