Movie synopsis

David Lean's DOCTOR ZHIVAGO is an exploration of the Russian Revolution as seen from the point of view of the intellectual, introspective title character (Omar Sharif). As the political landscape changes, and the Czarist regime comes to an end, Dr. Zhivago's relationships reflect the political turmoil raging about him. Though he is married, the vagaries of war lead him to begin a love affair with the beautiful Lara (Julie Christie). But he cannot escape the machinations of a band of selfish and cruel characters: General Strelnikov (Tom Courtenay), a Bolshevik General; Komarovsky (Rod Steiger), Lara's former lover; and Yevgraf (Alec Guinness), Zhivago's sinister half-brother. This epic, sweeping romance, told in flashback, captures the lushness of Moscow before the war and the violent social upheaval that followed. The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Boris Pasternak.

This film depicks the time of the 1917 Russian revolution. The main character is a poet and doctor who is able to tranisition but keeps the people reading poetry even though it is outlawed.

Still just as good as when I first saw it at the theater. Memorable time of the way it was during one of the most difficult time ever in Russia. Historical backdrop is excellent as is the interplay between the characters. A genuine classic.

Arrived fine, was a gift. What else can I say, except this review has to be 100 characters or it will not be accepted?
Now whats up with that? Best way I know to discourage feedback is to legislate nonsense.
