English Summary:

Doctor Zhivago (Italian: Il dottor Živago) is a 1965 epic romantic drama film directed by David Lean with a screenplay by Robert Bolt. It is set in Russia between the years prior to World War I and the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922, and is based on the 1957 Boris Pasternak novel Doctor Zhivago. While immensely popular in the West, the book was banned in the Soviet Union for decades. For this reason, the film could not be made in the Soviet Union and was instead filmed mostly in Spain.

The film takes place mostly against a backdrop of the pre-World War I years, World War I itself, the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the Russian Civil War. A narrative framing device, set in the late 1940s or early 1950s, involves KGB Lieutenant General Yevgraf Andreyevich Zhivago searching for the daughter of his half brother, Doctor Yuri Andreyevich Zhivago, and Larissa ("Lara"). Yevgraf believes a young woman, Tanya Komarova, may be his niece and tells her the story of her father's life.

After the burial of his mother in rural Russia, the orphaned Yuri Zhivago is taken in by his mother's friends in Moscow: Alexander and Anna Gromeko, and their daughter Tonya.

In 1913, Zhivago, as a medical student in training, but a poet at heart, meets Tonya as she returns to Moscow after a long trip to Paris. Lara, only 17, is involved in an affair with the older and well-connected Victor Ippolitovich Komarovsky, a friend of her mother's. One night, the idealistic reformer Pavel Pavlovich ("Pasha") Antipov drifts into left-wing extremism after being wounded by sabre-wielding dragoons during a peaceful demonstration. Pasha runs to Lara, whom he wants to marry, to treat his wound. He asks her to hide a gun he picked up at the demonstration.

 

Romanian Summary:

Acțiunea filmului se petrece în perioada revoluției comuniste din Rusia numită de comuniști „Marea Revoluție din Octombrie”. Personajul principal care stă în centrul acțiunii este doctorul Jivago, cu familia sa, conflictele care apar sunt generate de firea romantică a doctorului și metodele dictaturii comuniste care nu tolerează alte moduri de gândire.

Iuri Jivago rămâne orfan la vârsta de cinci ani, el fiind crescut în casa unchiului său Alexandru Gromeko din Moscova. După terminarea studiilor sale de medicină, Iuri o va întâlni pe Lara, o fată de care tânărul medic este fascinat. Totuși el se va căsători cu Tonia, fiica părinților săi adoptivi, cu Tonia, Iuri va avea un copil.

In continuare este prezentată viața zbuciumată a tinerei Lara a cărei soartă va fi influențată de doi bărbați: politicianul Kamarovski și revoluționarul rus Pașa. Kamarovski are o influență nefastă asupra Larei și a mamei sale, care ajunge în situația de a face o încercare de sinucidere. Kamarovski il va chema pe Iuri ca medic pentru a o salva pe mama Larei. Politicianul Kamarovski a avut relații sexuale cu mama și cu fiica acesteia. Lara va fi umilită și violată de Kamarovski.
