This weekend, i watched Doctor Zhivago. To be honest, i found it better than Lawrence of Arabia. Cant believe that iam having the opportunity to watch such classics courtesy the Singapore National Library. God bless them 🙂
Had heard so much about the director, David Lean. And after watching 2 of his all time classics, i realise why his name is taken with so much of respect. *bows*
The sets, the sweeping cinematography, the background score by Maurice Jarre and the power packed performances by Omar Sharif, this is a must see. I cant believe that a movie of such epic proportions was made in 1965.
My rating **** and half (4.5/5)

I’ll place that on my list of movies to download.

I have seen the movie. Its a masterpiece and the background score elevates it to another level. But I have heard that it was quite different from the novel because of the lenght.
I am with Amit. A great background score.
@Everydayman, watch it if you can.
@Amit, Ottayan…the music still stays with me long after watching the movie. Surprising, its for the first time for a non-Indian movie 🙂
Hmmm…guess I have to get hold of the DVD soon…
I envy you! 😛 I will get the DVD soon if I can.
Philip,
It is a haunting score and as you pointed out a first for me too (non Indian film music).
@akhil, poonam, watch it if you can.
@Ottayan, yup the music was really haunting.
