How about Dr. Zhivago?
Based on a FICTION novel so how could it be accurate?
How about Dr. Zhivago? —
My Mom said that Dad got up and left during that movie. He was there, WWII, snow and cold, Battle of the Bulge.
Never mentioned it to us kids.
I love that movie, of course (chick flick HELLO!) and I did read the book.
But I think the book has a lot more in it that got into the movie. But I’d have to see the movie again to really judge.
I was tempted to say what I usually do, that you’d understand the Russians a lot more once you read that book and realize they went through 3 major wars in such a short period, but then I remembered Putin, stirring the hornet’s nest again and I’m thinking: who can really understand the Russians? Such an emotional people, they leave the Irish and the Italians behind in the dust.
