Doctor Zhivago

[Rambo4President]

What a great scene, perfectly played by Omar Sharif's son. His mother died, but he kind of doesn't understand it - like a real child.. Realistic, sad and just great cinema.

[dahsuerk]

Movie was filmed in Scandinavia. I think Finland.

[REALBACKDOORMAN]

@dahsuerk

Excuse me, but this scene was filmed in south of Spain, near Guadix and La Calahorra (Granada).

You can see Sierra Nevada on this scene

[MartiansChronicle]

Pure poetry...

[Jinpacho]

I just wrote 900 words about this scene alone, this better be a good movie...

[Jhensy2012]

Elton John 'borrowed' this song for the intro to his classic "Funeral for a Friend".

[bilalaliraqi]

i like the scene of the child and the way he looks ,,his eyes are incredible ,full of mediation ,and you can read alot in his eyes

[Autostade67]

This scene does NOT take place in Mongolia but rather on the eastern side of the Urals in Western Siberia. The film is never quite clear about the location of Varykino and Yuriyatin, but they are certainly probably west of Novosibirsk.

And for what it's worth...the cutaway to the profile of Yuri's mother INSIDE the coffin is still one of the most striking moments of montage in film history...

It is funny, the white bearded pope is a Spanish actor, Pepe Nieto. Some takes were made in locations Castille, in the Soria province - a really cold place in winter. Well, it is not Siberia but looks like Siberia in the film.

Thank you for uploading this, my favourite scenes from one of the greatest movies of ever made. A movie that manages to scale both the personal and political on a scale grand enough to do justice to the epic and melancholy injustices suffered by so many millions during that dark period of history.

[worseto]

This movie was such a smash that i remember it in theaters in the early 70s and it still sold out to the point that the theaters stopped showing it because it took away from the new movies.

[willdlp]

I have always wanted to know which is the name of the orthodox funeral song they are singing and where I could find the russian words. n the beginning of the novel it says "шли, шли и пели вечную память" ( they walked, walked and sang "Eternal memory") but I really don't know if it is this song. Does anybody know?

[shtookatz]

@willdlp I believe the song is the Kontakion of the Departed and there are several versions on YouTube. I don't speak Russian so I don't know how good it is, but here are the first three lines of an English translation I have.

Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints:

where sorrow and pain are no more;

neither sighing but life everlasting.

[cristoforoantonio]

i thought that i must be crazy because ever since i saw this movie as a little kid, i loved this scene since the music was so beautiful.

i guess other people agree with me!

[maleinka76]

el niño que protagoniza la escena es el hijo de Omar Sharif. Excelente toma. Hermosa música.

[Gawkowska]

I wish someone uploaded the entire film. It's my favorite.

[no1zgrl4eva]

Me too!!  That scene where they are in the beautiful frozen house is unforgettable. I want to see the whole thing again too.

[IoSonoUomo]

look at all the Asiatic looking people, very mongolian features. Eskimo people. I wonder how they got along with the Russians. Some even have on European clothes.

[alvesrocha]

Are you stupid or what?

If you dont have any idea what are you talking about just shut...

[IoSonoUomo]

I know exactly what I'm talking about. The people east of the Urals are Asian looking, the people west of the Urals are European looking.

All I wonder is how the Russians got along with the Siberian natives. They are shown getting along well in this clip.

I have said nothing offensive, yet I find it offensive the way you have negatively marked all my comments and acted beligerently.

[dakotagerman1]

@alvesrocha

You're a fucking asshole!

[TheKa89]

@IoSonoUomo ... You do know there are indigenious inuit tribes in russia, right? That it stretches on through siberia? There are over 12 different time zones and 70+ ethnic groups, not to mention different languages and dialects. With a land mass that huge, just like China, there are bound to be more than one 'russian'.

[IoSonoUomo]

@TheKa89 it's pretty obvious i know that.

[JDalltonX]

@IoSonoUomo this scene was to have taken plance in Mongolia.Please educate yourself before making ridiculously stupid comments.

[IoSonoUomo]

@JDalltonX Yes, I know it is on the Siberian-Mongolian border. I was just pointed out that the relationship between the European Russians and the Siberian Natives must have been tense at the time, and is an interesting scene of study that is not well know about.

Don't punk with me online over a comment I made a year ago.

[JDalltonX]

@IoSonoUomo Don't punk with you online over a stupid comment you made - or else what? You'll once again demonstrate to everyone what a buffoon you truly are? Looks like you've found your life's calling.

[C4553L]

@IoSonoUomo russian is in Europa ( and in Asia) FYI lol :)

[IoSonoUomo]

is that Siberia?

[dakotagerman1]

@IoSonoUomo

No that is Mongolia.

[IoSonoUomo]

1880s?

[deadmissbates]

Beautiful.

[Mummy323]

this solemn scene from my favorite film! cinematography is superb

[daltonagre]

Among the ten best movies ever did.

[hefalu]

La obra maestra que es la película no lo habría sido sin esa banda sonora que acompañará nuestras vidas.

Descanse en paz quien nos hizo amar el amor.

Memorable el sobrecogimiento que trasmite la estepa

[borbesz]

December again the month of death...

[reveredos]

That's Omar Sharrif's real son.
