i’m an hour into Dr. Zhivago and really struggling to tell how many middle-aged guys with beards or goatees are in this movie. You could tell me any number from 2-4 and I’d believe you.
#it’s always a gamble whether a david lean movie will work for me#Lawrence of Arabia is obviously a masterpiece#but bridge on the river kwai didn’t work for me whatsoever#and I couldn’t finish brief encounter bc it made me too sad lmao. which is the only movie I’ve done that with.#so far I am not impressed with dr zhivago#maybe partly bc I’ve been watching more Russian/Eastern European movies lately and keep comparing it to them#like I want an interesting Russian take on this story not a stuffy British take#i also know nothing about the story so I reserve the right to take back any of these opinions once I know more lmao#however! omar sharif is very cute#which is making up for whatever the hell else is going on#mostly I just keep wishing I was watching a powell and pressburger movie instead
