Good evening, why do you think americans are obsessed with Doctor Zhivago and what do you think of the novel?

I'm being charitable when I say that there are maybe five Russian books that John Liquor American can readily name, and all of them have been made into movies and/or musicals. With Zhivago, part of the reason it became a cultural touchstone so quickly has to do with the circumstances of its publication in the United States during the Cold War, closely followed by the epic David Lean film, in which Omar Sharif is so hot that it hardly matters that the movie itself is mid.

In regards to Zhivago's specific appeal to American sensibilities, I think a lot of it has to do with that adage about how an English language romance begins with a kiss and ends in a wedding, while a Russian language romance will begin with a kiss and end in Siberia. The weddings are fun but after all that stale cake, you want to want, and you want to be left wanting.

My relationship with Doctor Zhivago is that it's fundamental to my understanding of human dignity and human frailty. It is also a very nice love story.

#raised by atheists who told me pushkin created the world and tolstoy populated it #but pasternak sighed and exhaled all the stars into a vast night sky to make the loneliness sweeter to bear #i find that it's difficult to quantify the breadth and depth of certain kinds of beauty in english #i'm fluent but sometimes i'll be reaching for a sentiment and an angel appears to redirect my hand to a hot coal on which to burn my tongue #hayward translation is fine p&v is fine too but nobody has done much of note with the poetry—i do appreciate the effort #people should keep trying. i certainly will. that's what we do!! #russian literature #boris pasternak #doctor zhivago #assbox #anonymous

do u have any fave holiday / ny / wintery / decembery movies 👀

Boy do I!!

I bet you've seen plenty of these, but here are the first ones that immediately leapt to my mind, in chronological order:

REMEMBER THE NIGHT (1939) - thee wintery holiday movie for me. unsung masterpiece, extremely sexy.

MEET JOHN DOE (1941) - holidays but make it miserable and moral. sometimes the holiday season is about being glum! Also I love to see young Gary Cooper's big sad eyes in the snow.

(^^both of those are currently streaming on the criterion channel!!)

NEVER SAY GOODBYE (1946) - I think Errol Flynn should be on any winter/holiday list. He's pure cozy to me, and especially in his comedic mode. This is a Christmas comedy of remarriage! A big marine picks him up under the arms and carries him around!!

BELL BOOK AND CANDLE (1958) - wintery and whimsical! And features gay witch Jack Lemmon so what more could you want (there should also always be one Jack Lemmon movie on every holiday list and while The Apartment is the obvious one, it's never been quite what I want in winter)

DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (1965) - a pure Snow movie. ideal to put on while you decorate and then spend ten minutes here and there getting lost in Omar Sharif's eyes.

METROPOLITAN (1990) - Whit Stilman is New York and Metropolitan is his New York Winter Holiday movie. Charming, witty, delightful.

THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992) - an obvious one but the best. Career best Michael Caine, career best Muppets. I wonder-- too much Gonzo for your taste??

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS (2013) - one of my favorite movies of all time, so sad so cold, maybe more of an early February movie than a December movie, but good winter, good new york, good music.

CRIMSON PEAK (2015) - it's giving winter 🤌 it's giving blood on the snow 🤌 it's giving ghosts 🤌 it's giving Gothic 🤌

THE GOLDFINCH (2019) - I am the sicko who really likes the movie of The Goldfinch. But here's the deal...... it's wintery. It's cozy. the vibes are immaculate (to me). Ends on Christmas in Amsterdam and that feels great!!

#ben baby I hope these aren't a disappointment to you #movies #remember the night #meet john doe #never say goodbye #bell book and candle #doctor zhivago #metropolitan #muppet christmas carol #inside llewyn davis #crimson peak #the goldfinch

This girl is charged with all the femininity in the world. If you go near her or touch her with your finger, a spark will light up the room and either kill you on the spot or electrify you for your whole life. If it’s so painful for a man to love and absorb electricity, how much more painful it must be to be a woman and to be the electricity, and to inspire love.

Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago (1957)

#the soviets going through this book with a magnifying glass: 'i spotted a FEELING on PAGE 497!' #reread it over the holidays and can confirm it is still an absolute banger #doctor zhivago #boris pasternak #literature

David Lean really made four films (Brief Encounter, Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, A Passage to India) where a train is one of the main symbols/locations (Laura and Alec meet at a station, Lawrence plunders a train, Zhivago and his family escape on a train and Lara leaves Zhivago on a train, Adela comes to India and goes to the Marabar caves on a train) and then didn't make an adaptation of Anna Karenina. Oh, what could've been...

My waking up thoughts were about cracking why David Lean isn't a film bro favourite or doesn't have Hitchcock-like glamourous status.

The most famous films of his, Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge over River Kwai, are war epics that feature no female characters. These films are great, they make you think, they are easy to love, they are grandiose and beautiful.

When you go further though, you get to Doctor Zhivago, a film about a man who was ready to live a happy life, but got stuck in the wheels of revolution and was destroyed by it. It's not an easy story to summarise or even understand. I've read the book and it was hard for me to pinpoint its meaning, the film helped with that, but it's a lot of work. It's marketed as a love story, but it's not one. It's not a hero's journey either, the protagonist is too passive, he's almost like a child. And that's the point. It's a story of innocence destroyed by the world. Not a very marketable thing.

Then, all of his later films are centered on women. Which is a film bro no-no and as for people who like stories about women, they were lost back at Lawrence of Arabia. And his films about women aren't glamourous romances either.

Summertime is about an older woman going to Venice and finding a short and unserious love affair there. Where was the Hays code looking.

Ryan's Daughter is a tragic story of a village girl who fell in love with her teacher and got to live that unhealthy fantasy to the fullest.

A Passage to India is about a frustrated English woman coming to India full of expectations of something romantic happening to her, never getting what she wanted and then accusing an Indian man of assaulting her just because she was bored.

Yeah, those aren't very mainstream sounding films, except for Summertime that stars Katharine Hepburn.

Too unconventional to be liked, I guess.
