【movie edit】 Romantic love in David Lean films — BORN TO DIE

Flames of passion, coming shortly.

I don’t want to make it too sentimental so I almost only include happy footages so no motorcycle etc.

After adjusting for inflation, this week's two films rank in the top 10 highest grossing films of all time.

The Sound of Music is one of those films that everyone should see at least once. It's an absolute classic and the music is catchy. On the other hand, it's a cheesy story once it is forced to get serious in the final act.

Reviews for the film were mixed between corny and brilliant, especially from Bosley Crowther of The New York Times, who seems to be both praising and scolding Andrews and Plummer for their performances. At one point he called the direction "cosy-cum-corny", the meaning of which I'm still unsure.

Reviews for Doctor Zhivago were a mixed bag as well (NYT review also from Crowther). It extends past 3 hours, but to what benefit? Like The Sound of Music, Doctor Zhivago was visually stunning, but it does not seem to have enough plot to justify the run time. Too much of the film seems to be centered on Omar Shariff's solemn, teary-eyed stare.

No matter, the plot is interesting enough to follow and the cast does a great job. While Julie Christie will not will an Oscar for her role of Lara, she will win this year for her role in fellow Best Picture nominee Darling.

The Sound of Music and Doctor Zhivago both entered the 38th Academy Awards with 10 noms and left with 5 Oscars. The two films overlapped on 7 of the 10 categories, splitting almost perfectly down the middle for wins.

Despite being two of the highest grossing films of all time, both films are falling behind typical winners and upsets with their current reception. These Metascores are some of the lowest I've seen so far.

An interesting note for Doctor Zhivago: despite ranking #39 on the AFI's Top 100 in 1998, it became the highest ranked film to not make the 2007 list.

Unofficial Review: Doctor Zhivago feels like Oscar bait. It's whatever. Granted, The Sound of Music is just musical Oscar bait. But at least I enjoyed it.

DOCTOR ZHIVAGO 1965

Lara, I am determined to save you from a dreadful error. There are two kinds of men, and only two, and that young man is one kind. He is high-minded. He is pure. He is the kind of man that the world pretends to look up to and in fact despises. He is the kind of man who breeds unhappiness; particularly in women. Now, do you understand?
