Lara Antipova: Wouldn’t it have been lovely if we’d met before?
Yuri Zhivago : Before we did? Yes.
Lara Antipova: We’d have got married, had a house and children. If we’d had children, Yuri, would you like a boy or girl?
Yuri Zhivago: I think we may go mad if we think about all that.
Lara Antipova: I shall always think about it.

I never saw the Dr Zhivago film, but way back when it came out I had to play the music for every second bride who wanted the movie theme played as the church exit at their wedding. (Most ended in divorce).
It is glorious music. One of my mum’s favourite films 🙂
I should read this one day! I know its author got the Nobel Prize,although he was not considered as great as Tolstoy,Chekhov,Dostoevsky,etc!
Lovely quote.
Thanks. It’s a very moving film.
The love between these characters is so romantic yet so tragic at the same time.
Wonderfully put dude.
I am always amazed how many films have you watched, Alex. Congratulations.
I wish I had time to watch a few movies myself, but something always comes and puzzling my project.
Have a magical weekend, Alex! 🙂
This goes back from years of film watching ha. Stay creative 🙂
Beautiful heart wrenching film……and the wonderful music….thanks for the memories~
I’m listening to it now and sort of humming/whistling it
It is one of the unforgettable films and music worthy of the story and acting. . .
Do you have a favourite film theme?
Hmm. . . . that is a great question. . . . .The only film where I can remember the music is ‘That Thing You Do” from the 90s I think. I do have a couple of fave films but no idea about the music. . .
‘Lost in Translation’ and “In Bruges’. Neither terribly popular. Have you seen them? And what is your fave movie, and theme?
Nice choices. My favourite film is The Third Man, which has a pretty memorable soundtrack. But the theme from Badlands is my all time theme. I like the closing theme from Heat but it’s more powerful if you’ve seen the film.
I just remembered we saw ‘Her’ last weekend, and I really enjoyed the music. I thought it was Satie, but professor said it wasn’t. waited for the credits and of course he was right . . . no mention of Satie…just Satie like and There was a song by Dylan……Husband says I just float through things…life included, but there I remembered !! 😎
How lovely you have such similar tastes 🙂
That is really funny that you say that because we are very different but have complimented each other for a lifetime!
In some ways that’s even sweeter 🙂
Long marriages are a testimonial to the perseverance of the human spirit! L O L !
I was 17 when I first saw the film, “Dr. Zhivago!” I was a junior in a private boarding school–the nuns did NOT know what they were taking us to see! LOL Subsequently, I viewed the film ELEVEN more times –each time with someone who had not yet seen it–and I promptly volunteered to attend with them! Eventually, I married and my youngest daughter is named Lara. There is so much in this film on many different levels–the character development; the music; the history; the scenery…just so beautiful! I love it still!
What a wonderful answer. Lara is a lovely name too btw 🙂
Most beautiful movie

Really leaves such a legacy when you see it. He was amazing in Lawrence of Arabia too.

Omar Mukhtar the Lion of the Desert
Anthony Quinn

Thank you dear 🙂
They were made for each other. She was terrible at ironing and no-one liked his poetry.
I would never have thought of it like that in a billion years ha
