Omar is sort of my neighbor outside of Paris, France. A lot of people think he is Egyptian or something, but this is a typical Parisian man. My lovely husband is Parisian and has the same watery big eyes, the same Arab typing. I love this movie. I have owned it in various formats and I recommend the book to everyone. I believe it was patterened after the life of Bulgakhov. Bless you for uploading this clip. I am American so realize this is progaganda but I love it!
Who cares? She was so beautiful to look at-mesmerizing. Did anyone care that Omar Sharif didn't look or sound Russian? David Lean knew what he was doing in casting 2 beautiful people that could carry us through 3+ hours.
God, I'm only 16 and my parents raised me on classic movies. Acting was great, directing was great, score was great, cinematography was great. All movies today are sucky ass remakes or unoriginal dramas. And all these actors are dry. There's only a handfull of good actors today that still capture the beauty that's in classic film.
I love the scene when she says goodbye after working together in the hospital. Omar Shariff's eyes just fill up and he watches her until he can't stand it anymore, then walks back into the house-hospital.
What wonderful music - fabulous orchestration. Fantastic color in the use of very Russian / Eurasian motifs and instrumentation (balalaikas etc). Watched this last night and it is still breathtaking even after 50 years - Bravo David Lean et al!
The better scene is where Julie Christie is working in the library and after many years sees Omar Sharif as Zhivago. She says nothing, her eyes say it all. A great actress!
This scene is even more poignant when placed in the context of the story. Yuri and Lara are living through what they believe are their final days - awaiting their execution which they believe could come at any moment.
I wasn't even close to being alive when this movie was made, and it is SO not like a movie I would normally watch, uncless hanging with neo-hippies in french and english club on tuesday night tradegy and french subtitle fims. But Julie Cristie is SO beautiful.
It think its mutual. Chemistry can't go one way but only both ways. Look at what happened to the two since that movie. They had great movies with other leads but it wasn't the same. Really, Omar should owe David Lean, the director,credit because Omar wanted to to do that Pasha character but Lean offered him the role of Yuri. Likewise, Lean casted him in Lawerence of Arabia.
i heard this theme long time back somewhere but i seemed to have forgotten about it completely, until a friend referred it. an absolutely romantic theme. makes you feel like you are discovering love once again and it will stay...the forever type, classic love...right?
This scene is an everyman (or everywoman) scene. Anybody who has fallen in love later in life, after a long first marriage, can relate. One always asks, what would our kids have been like if we could have had some together? Sharif hits the nail on the head when he says not to think about it or else 'go mad'. A great scene, but very universal in its application. His love for his first wife was very shallow, but wonderful. His love for Lara, because they struggled together, was more enduring.
@mosihasteen Hello, You are sooooooooooooo correct. I has been on my mind for so long that I have tried to stop thinking this line of bitter sweet wishes!!!!!!!.
@Invermitch OUR AMERICA GOT "DUMBED DOWN" that's what happened. I was a TEEN in the late 50's and jilted a girl when I was 20 because I got another girl pregnant. Who was 8 yrs. older than me. (trapped my dad called it)The one I jilted lived 135 miles away and never knew. BUT in 2008 she found me on the net and we email. She's happily married as am I (my second marriage)We both have grandkids etc. SO YOU SEE WHY I CAN LOVE THIS MOVIE.
@Invermitch Yeah but things wont be like this anymore no matter how hard we try to pray for more actors and moments like this movie. It's Unique for that time, I wish I would have been 22 back then instead of now. We should have a limit for ourselves ! what's gonna come in 100 yrs ? flying cars - it would be so boring.
@Invermitch Today we just got special effects films in which animals (with all due respect to animals) counsel humans..Not even disney is worth a damn today! Much less music, Shakira? compare her with Connie Francis or Astrud gilberto for example. I don't know what happened either, all art has gone down the toilet!
I truly believe the most passionate scene is where they are laying in bed and she says, "What are we going to do?" He responds, "I don't know." Just those few words are so filled with passion.
Katya is the daughter of Pasha, according to the book. Also, it was implied in the book she went back to Komarovsky when they moved to Mongolia and had Yuri's child there.
Sorry, I miswrote what I was trying to say. Lara had Yuri's child. Katya is the daughter of Lara and Pasha. And then it is implied that Lara goes back to Kamarovsky (in the novel when they goto Mongolia). Actually, also Yuri finds another woman and has children with her as well. Most of the novel was about the actual revolution, with these characters lives being upturned because of this revolution. I liked the book, heavy going but great :)
Thanks. Seems like a great circle was travelled- Yuri's mother died in Mongolia, if memory serves me right. I guess Lara had no choice but to have the vile Komarovsky as a protector. Very sad story.
This film ceaselessly proves that Sir David Lean was a master film maker - what is sad for me is that so many people have never seen it or even heard of it! The cineam needs a rennaissance more than ever!
Whenever I think about the person who I want to find to share my life, I begin with Julie Christie. She communicated an innocence and charm and proves that the real essense of beauty is a woman who is beautiful but considers it the least important thing about her.
There just aren't many good women these day's. and you won't find another Julie Christie. Obviously you have done your soul searching, perhaps try looking into the Asian women, many of them still respect proper values.
i had a misfortune to live in a communist country between 1983-1985..i wont say which one tho as i dont wanna cause rage on all the communist supporters but i agree with coralarch that it's the most vile political system ever...
anyways..i don't agree with a country having a parliment, and democracy either but that's for another discussion :)
i love anti-communist movies as well...being a big movie fan, i have unfortunatelly not seen this movie yet..i hope that i soon will as omar sharif is one of the greatest actors in film history..j.christie is really a hot in this scene
bewater99 - I had the misfortune to visit communist countries, and I can tell you that it is the most vile political system of all time. I always support anti-communits films!
the real intention of communism isn't despotism, you know, what happened in Rusia it's a bit confuse and hard to sintetize only with " Lenin and Stalin were simply bitches", no.
I don't agree with you about "the most vile political system", think first about national socialism.
I'm not communist at all, but I have respect for his ideology of class equality. I won't stand for a system who only supports a few rich people with the blood of the rest of the people.( the 3º world)
Don't be deceived by their claims- the top brass Commos took all the goodies and let the common people go hungry- I remember those huge food queues very well from 20 years ago. Equality under Communism? It's a total sham.
2º- There was hunger before communists arrived, and that got worse with the 2 World Wars.
3º- URSS didn't recieve economical.
4º- All the goods were being kept by the rich people. ( that's the way capitalism go too)
5º- The fact of punishing different behaviours, religions... is racism.
6º- There weren't objetively a good situation for begining the revolution, ( because of A LOT OF FACTORS) it happened the same in Paris, but with anarchism.
Didn't humanity as a whole arrived at the conclusion that COMMUNISM is evil and that is why the soviet union came tumbling down around the time that RONALD REAGAN was President of the USA ?????????
Ah, no. Please, go read up on things before spouting off on them. Do you even know what communism is besides what mass culture has shoved down your throat? I favor a more capitalistic system because it works in a real world environment, but in a perfect world communism would in fact be the ideal. Humanity as whole has come to no conclusions beyond things like mathematics and physics -- ideologies are still very much up in the air.
I'm still waiting for ignorance to be considered evil...
Ah, no. Please, go read up on things before spouting off on them. Do you even know what communism is besides what mass culture has shoved down your throat?

Communism is the enemy of mankind and it perverts every nation that it destroys. People want to OWN stuff. Not sell what they own to a central government and be given back a pittance of what they had. And BTW, there are more than a greedy few on this earth, take most of humanity!!
jkoff, You are 100% correct! I lived in it for 3 horrendous months, that was enough. Communists should be shot on sight. All they ever bring is large scale misery, in every sphere of life. Capitalism has its faults, but nothing, absolutely nothing, is worse than the Red Plague.
I watched this movie yesterday and I loved it! One of the greatest movies I've ever seen..I'll soon buy a book...many people told me it's really difficult, but I don't mind:)
I just looked the new Russian version of this novel. Urgently I recommend to everybody. In American variant it is show love between two people. Actually it is history of all Russian Cultural aristocracy in the beginnings of the twentieth century that has collected in one person.
another film of historical perspective in the same geographical region was a 10 plus years in developing ( according to what i heard) is Reds.. by Hairspray star what's his name
In this movie, David Lean casts Julie Christie as Omar Sharif's beautiful blue-eyed blonde love interest, instead of Peter O'Toole, as he did in Lawrence of Arabia.
Look at the scene where Lara, Kamarovsky and her fiance meet. The fiance makes a comment that he has no amorous experience and that since Lara is only 17, that speaks for itself. Look how at that moment, Lara and Kamarovsky both lower their heads in shame. The scene after the rape in the dress shop..Look at Lara's eyes, you can see when she makes the decision to shoot Kamarovsky.
All throughout the movie look at how the director plays with the light to highlight the actors eyes. There is a scene where Lara is talking to Zhivago about her not wanting him to lie to his wife about her. Zhivago backs into the dark and you can see a bit of evil/lustfullness which disappears when he comes back into the light. Why don't they make movies like this anymore? One of my top favorites
Dr.Zhivago was on my reading list in high school 36 years ago,and,I read it.Boris Pasternak was a Russian poet and won a Nobel Prize which he refused.Dr.Zhivago was not published in Russia until perhaps the last 20 years.Did you know any of THAT?

In this movie, David Lean casts Julie Christie as Omar Sharif's beautiful blue-eyed blonde love interest, instead of Peter O'Toole, as he did in Lawrence of Arabia.

Look at the scene where Lara, Kamarovsky and her fiance meet. The fiance makes a comment that he has no amorous experience and that since Lara is only 17, that speaks for itself. Look how at that moment, Lara and Kamarovsky both lower their heads in shame. The scene after the rape in the dress shop..Look at Lara's eyes, you can see when she makes the decision to shoot Kamarovsky.

All throughout the movie look at how the director plays with the light to highlight the actors eyes. There is a scene where Lara is talking to Zhivago about her not wanting him to lie to his wife about her. Zhivago backs into the dark and you can see a bit of evil/lustfullness which disappears when he comes back into the light. Why don't they make movies like this anymore? One of my top favorites

Dr.Zhivago was on my reading list in high school 36 years ago,and,I read it.Boris Pasternak was a Russian poet and won a Nobel Prize which he refused.Dr.Zhivago was not published in Russia until perhaps the last 20 years.Did you know any of THAT?
