I need to keep it within the plot of the movie, since I haven’t read the book. Was it Zhivago, Pasha or Komarovski? Komarovski was a cad and a lecher. But he was devoted enough to risk his life (and die) for Lara. Pasha’s devotion mas made to look like temporary young love. Zhivago’s was the strangest IMO, especially after he agreed to let Lara and her child go with Komarovski.
Can anyone expand on this topic?
I’d say Kamarovski was the one she could count on the most, even though that didn’t make him a good man. Zhivago was attracted to Lara, perhaps loved her in a way. But I think what she was to him was everything his wife was not. Lara was a relief from his boredom. At least he did break it off, or try to.
One thing I know. When I was a kid, Mom & Dad loved that movie, watched it whenever it was on the TV, had the book. So one day at grad school, I had nothing to do one Sunday & it was on some channel’s afternoon movie so I wasted four (?) hours & got all involved in the saga, just to see what happened to him & Lara end like THAT???
The final scene tho with the daughter’s exclamation of pride about something else was pretty good.
(I did not want to spoil things but also didn’t want to deal with the boxes. I think I did pretty good.)
I have no answer to the OP.
Well Pasha later turns out to be the cruel, merciless Red leader Strelnikov.
And when Strelnikov ran afoul of the Party leadership, and was slated for death, where did he go? Running back to Lara, just as the Party brass knew he would.
Pasha Strelnikov started out as a sweet idealist, and morphed into a cynical brute. But he loved Lara in both phases.
