I just had a chance to see the whole Dr. Zhivago movie. The version from 1965 by David Lean. It is good, especially the parts that talk about revolution and about the revolution nonsense. One thing I could not understand, the main women of the movie - Lara and Tonya look always as like they just came out from the beauty saloon... even in the worst times of the war, revolution or any other troubles. read more about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Zhivago it is really a good movie

jaga,
Perhaps Erica can find an old Russian/Soviet review or two of the movie and tell us what they though of it. The one thing I remember is hearing they laughed at the departure/separation schene in the railway station. A true Russian departure would have been full of passion and hair tearing and crying, not the dispassionate scene of simply "oh, goodbye!"!
Eric, please take the trouble to tell us or to find a Russian review in English, one that will surprise us!
On your poit of the perfect hair doo and all,that is typical of American films. It even predates the fireballs and the massive application of bullets splattering people all over. Only once have I seen a film to match the american taste for fireballs and bullets, adn it seemed to be a deliberate imitation.
Kai

Jaga I have the video Tape of Dr. Zhivago and really like it. Rather or not, it is realistic of Moscow, who actually cares, it was a cause of a large variety of emotions whilst a person is following the story line. This is what strikes me as a fine kino film. I was just disappointed with the ending. I was not happy with Omar Sharif as Zhivago. He is an excellent actor and I like him, but, he just struck my temples as a stupid simpleton unaware of reality. Until now though, I was unaware the story was filmed in Spain. I had no idea there were that type of winter snows to depict for many of the scenes. Unless, I would only suppose, they had moved the set into the high Pyrenees or similar mountain area. I like American movies. They are exciting and glamorous. And the Westerns are really neat. Long Live Hollywood Charles

It is surprising to realize that he was born in Egypy or Lebanon and he plays Russian. I found him very interesting since he gave so much dynamism to this character. I guess, I just did not see him in too many movies so this role did not really put any kind of extra remembering of him as the actor rather than the person, if you know what I mean. By the way, where was Kinsky in this movie? Who did he play?
