Doctor Zhivago , the scene of Lara's departure

[UpSky2]

I find it a little odd and worth mention that Zhivago doesn't rub ice off the window for a last glimpse... he finds he can't open it, and shatters the window with a rod instead... the acting and staging at this point in the movie, need no script.

[989Mojo]

The over dubbing sounds pretty dreadful though LOL

[romm28]

It's impossible not to be in love with Julie Christie... She's so so beautiful

[violetta74a]

simply a masterpiece

[1bigllama]

Goodbye, Lara. You will live within me the rest of my life.

[shir1999]

It's in Farsi! cool!

[GeoTime09]

my apologies for misspelling Lara`s name; too early in the morning, Lol

[GeoTime09]

The scoundrel Komarovsky is a type of facilitator who guides the new Russia into the next era of Russian history. Here he is symbolic of the corrupt vehicle which would propel the nation into a Marxist degeneracy of which they 'the Russians, personified as Laura " are unaware of; and as such the people themselves are oblivious to the events that are to overcome them. Komarovsky the future, departs with Laura, the present; Zhivago the past, is abandoned; he stays behind, forgotten.

[rj5150]

@GeoTime09

In that case, Zhivago himself is equally a scoundrel. If he represents the past, it is the past which had become unreliable, hypocritical, and unwilling to retain its principles. Komarovsky simply preys on their idiocy (traits that were apparently present in the previous generation as well).

[7levelGI]

Yeah  Julie is HOT !

[deCaravagio]

Avatar is much better movie!

[carooomargheee]

@deCaravagio

The fact it earned lots of money doesn't make Avatar better than this movie.

[babunski]

@deCaravagio LOL

[Whereismymind1987]

@deCaravagio haha:D

[JPnintendofan]

@deCaravagio Fuck Avatar. How dare you say that piece of garbage is better than this.

[deCaravagio]

"@JPnintendofan Avatar gained much more money in the shorter time than "Doctor Zhivago".

Avatar is much better cinematographically(continuity­,camera work,acting,special effects).

Avatar is 3D!!! zhivago 3D? NO!

Avatar one of the best movies of all times! Many movie critics positive about this fact.

So,how you dare to call it garbage?

[JPnintendofan]

@deCaravagio Actually, adjusted for inflation, Doctor Zhivago made more money than Avatar, even though that doesn't matter when deciding which is better. Doctor Zhivago actually had a PLOT. Avatar's plot is weak, cliche, and its story has been told before (i. e. Dances with Wolves). Doctor Zhivago's cinematography is beautiful, it has gorgeous senery, and excellent acting. It doesn't have flashy special effects because, well, there's no need for any. Special effects don't make a film. What makes

[JPnintendofan]

@JPnintendofan a film is when story, acting, editing, directing, and sometimes music are combined together in perfect harmony. Avatar completely forgets what the art of film is all about. It's nothing but an emotionless action sci-fi flick. Now 3D is just a gimmick. It can't make a bad movie good. All 3D does is add depth perception, which isn't needed in a film. I won't even mention what critics say about Avatar because, critics are all different and I don't care about what they say. Besides,

[loufalce]

@JPnintendofan ...!,000 % right about Avatar.Avatar is a film, Zhivago is a movie. Can`t hold a candle to Zhivago. Lean was an artist, Cameron is a hack.

[JPnintendofan]

@deCaravagio most critics will agree that Avatar had a weak plot (Whoops, I mentioned it). I've said it before, but if a film has a bad plot, it's not any good. A film must tell a story. It's not interesting when the plot is awful. So there you go. I am done with my three part rebuttal of your ludicrous opinions. Call me back when you learn some better English. The End.

[deCaravagio]

@JPnintendofan My English improved dramatically after reading

your ramble.You are typing to much words without meaning .

Your ability to analyze cinematography is extremely poor.To be able to analyze anything , you have to be educated and you need to have your own opinion.

You are failing miserably in that matter, but keep trying ).

I'm so sorry for you.

[JPnintendofan]

@deCaravagio Alright, asshole. Go on being an ignorant prick for all I care. Go on thinking that Avatar is a masterpiece of cinema. I don't even care anymore. That's your problem. Good day, sir.

[deCaravagio]

@JPnintendofan Same to you ,dickhead...ahh...I mean ,sir.

[adriannadornmd]

and this time he's gotta contend. I've enjoyed this movie at Movie WATCHER . US

[mariana7000]

Classic What do we know??? Nothing compared w them

[GeoTime09]

Zhivago bids Lara goodbye and strains to see her disappear into the distance. He runs and claws at the window to see into the future, but cannot as it has escaped him

Lara, (the present), bids Zhivago (the past) goodbye. The mandolin is symbolic of the dreams of Mother Russia which Lara carries into the future as a memory of the past. Zhivago cannot go with Lara as he lives in the past and she, in the present. The future will not accept them both.

[ifmaisabel]

@GeoTime09 ,

Your words are touching and clever, you made some points.

They live in the same country but were raced in diferent worlds, and future will not accept them, for very diferent reasons.

In the novel, Zhivago becomes an empty man, that is the sadest of all the story.

At least, we can claim that true love is inmortal...

[Ammoratti]

@GeoTime09, what does it mean that the "present" would escape with a scoundrel like Komarovsky?

[GeoTime09]

Lara (present Russia )leaves and goes into an uncertain future leaving Zhivago and the past behind ( old Russia).The mandolin is symbolic of the dreams of Mother Russia. Lara carries it into the future as a memory of the past.

[daveebella09]

oh

it's moving!!!

[tjkoz22]

Yes it IS, no matter HOW many times I watch it !

[Minnexyz]

I like this better in Turkish.

[leafyutube]

By the way, Julie Christie is so hot in this movie, she could melt the ice.

[delbard1]

@leafyutube Ohh her eyes..

[leafyutube]

Great movie about how the commie bastards came to power in Russia. Haha!

[victoriaamada]

is it possible that a ahouse can have so much ice and snow inside in russia....

[Minnexyz]

Only if there was no roof on the house.

[bhedabhedi]

sad ending... very moving...

[mavieiro]

Jarre unforgettable in your melodies. Thank you for the masterpiece. R.I.P

[snothepro]

You're a fool.

[Losrandiro]

Not so.

[momieux]

Thank you coralarch. As the Universe unfolds we constantly learn. I was rigid in my views regarding Human emotions and choices made. The Universe is teaching me that there are many shades of gray. Life does not come in neat little packages.

[coralarch]

momieux, how wise of you to express that. The older we become,the more we realise how true it is.

[jimviol25]

que triste es esta escena de la despedida de Yuri con lara.... yuri era conciente que debian estar separados por los circunstancias politicas de ese pais pero mas triste es cuando la ve y no puede decirle nada por que le da un ataque al corazon

[ottokees]

So deep...so pain and so hurted heart...I so feel this video...~Sergio

Just gorgeous...so tragic.

[ANASOFIAORTIZ]

So much love, so much pain.

Quien no entienda por qué Yuri sube las escaleras así y rompe la ventana por ver a Lara irse en el horizonte, es que nunca ha estado enamorado/a.

[Milordvega]

From Desconocidosoldado2: "Quien no entienda por qué Yuri sube las escaleras así y rompe la ventana por ver a Lara irse en el horizonte, es que nunca ha estado enamorado/a."

"Whoever does not understand why Yuri went up the stairs that way and breaks the window to see Lara departing on the horizon is someone who has never been in love."

100% TRUE!!!!! FANTASTIC COMMENT!!! ¡TE SALUDO!

[Desconocidosoldado2]

Hola. Gracias por la traducción. Un saludo!

[Milordvega]

Un saludo de un fan de Maurice Jarre, que en paz descanse!

[adixon65]

@Milordvega perfectly put.

[Desconocidosoldado2]

Una de las mejores películas. Nos mostraba la vida tal como es, el nacimiento, la pérdida del padre, el amor y la muerte. En la actualidad todo es demasiado virtual y no saboreamos nuestras vidas. Viva David Lynch! Viva!

[monichat]

you mean David LEAN !

[ElaLa44]

Dr.Zhivago must be the ONLY movie that took three years to make, and it's based on a true story. Also, this must be the most beautiful theme song EVER! :)

[violentoffender]

Agree! Great movie but I don't think it was based on a true story. Novel written by Boris Pasternak. Historical events are true though.

[monichat]

violentoffender, I hope you are not TOO violent ! I agree that the beautiful novel by Boris Pasternak was not based on a true story, but it WAS INSPIRED by his own love affair with Olga Ivinskaya. He wrote of Lara with Olga in his mind always. He said so himself.

[violentoffender]

I do remember that now too. P.S. violentoffender is my husband's gaming name.

[ElaLa44]

Oops, I hit the wrong hand by mistake and made the thumb point down. Sorry! Now, let me clarify my comment. Since Boris has based his novel on his own love affair and the hitorical events described in it have taken place, it seems to me that it's more of a true story than just a fictional novel. With the exception of a few details such as Boris' occupation, the rape of Lara, the shooting part and I'm not sure about the missing daughter, the rest of it is true. :)

[coralarch]

Elala44, I haven't read the book, but have seen the film. I can't work out if Lara really was raped in the legal sense.Also, I'm not sure if Katya, her daughter, was supposed to be Komarovsky's or Pasha's- 1965 films didn't always spell out the facts of life!

[RandyKLall]

Damn, the ending was beautiful and sad!

[mrslara0]

off she goes...forever

[steventhestudent]

part of the deal with kamarovsky was that lara was going to be his mistress. zhivago didn't want the humiliation of seeing lara give herself to another man

[monichat]

I never understood why Zhivago let Lara leave without him, what a mistake it turned out to be.

[VanderleyAntiqueira]

I agree with you. It was a wonderfull movie but I also don't understand it. Pearhapes because the possible arrived of the comunist soldiers but I'm not shure. Vanderley-Brazil.

[violentoffender]

He knew that Komarovsky never meant for him to be part of their "escape". By telling Lara that he was coming later, was the only way to be sure that she went with him. He knew Komarovsky was right and to stay would be certain death and as much as he loved her he let her go so she could live. Deep down, Lara knew this too but perhaps held out hope that he would come.

[monichat]

The character of Dr Zhivago is a man who has much difficulty making up his mind it seems. He has an affair with Lara while married to Tonya, but loves them both. After the departure of Lara and his own return to Moscow, he has an affair with Marina, the janitor's daughter, and he has two more daughters. This is not in the movie but in the book by Pasternak.

[coralarch]

Monichat, I think Dr Zhivago shows that it's possible to love many people simultaneously, and that some people are just not wired for monogamy.

[monichat]

coralarch: This is probably true, I had never thought about this seriously before. Thanks !

[momieux]

I'm unexpectedly living a version of this scenario. Once, I thought the film was an exercise in masculine irresposibility and selfishness. Now I'm confronting the dilemma you've so wisely expressed

[coralarch]

Momieux, I wish you well. I know what you're going through.

[coralarch]

violentoffender- I can't work out Komarovsky's motives. Why is he so suddenly concerned with Lara's safety? (I agree that Yuri did this to save her.)
