Film Lesson: Zhivago


The film Dr. Zhivago depicted the Russian Revolution in a very negative light. At first we are introduced to the end of the Revolution. It seemed as though their was great triumph, but when he returns to his home he has to face the repercussions of Stalin's new found strength and political force.

When Dr. Zhivago returned to Moscow he encountered his brother as a soldier of the Communist Party while outside. He witnessed his family being tied down by the rationing of foods.
