昨日ＢＳ２では「ドクトル・ジバゴ」という映画が放送されました。 What was aired last night on BS2 was actually the remake of it. "Doctor Zhivago TV remake is based on the eponymous book by Boris Pasternak. Young and beautiful Lara (Knightley) is loved by three men: a revolutionary, a mogul, and a doctor. Their lives become intertwined with the drama of Russian revolution. Doctor Zhivago (Matheson) is still married when he meets Lara. Their love story is unfolding against the backdrop of revolution which affects the doctor's career, his family, and his love to Lara." Summary written by Steve Shelokhonov You can buy the DVD remake shown on TV last night from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Zhivago-Miniseries-Giacomo-Campiotti/dp/B0000C2IQG 時代はすでに20世紀に移り、学生パーシャ・アンティポーヴァは革命運動に身を投げて革命以外の一切合切を軽んじると、その恋人ラーラは洋裁店を営む母親の相談役コマロフスキーから女としての手ほどきを受ける。コマロフスキーの説明では、パーシャは純粋で、一方、ラーラはそうではなかったのである。コマロフスキーとラーラの二人を乗せたソリが雪の町を駆け抜けると、代わってパーシャが率いるデモ隊が現われて騎兵の一団と遭遇する。流血の惨事が起こり、それを二階の窓からユーリが認めて負傷者を助けるために駆け下りる。娘とコマロフスキーの関係を疑ったラーラの母は毒を飲み、ユーリはその現場に医師として現われてラーラと出会い、入院した母親がいない間にコマロフスキーはラーラを寝台に押し倒すので、クリスマスの晩にユーリたちが見ている前で、ラーラはコマロフスキーを拳銃で撃つ。 やがてユーリはグロムイコ家のトーニャと結婚して息子をもうけ、そのうちに第一次世界大戦が勃発し、二年目を迎えた地獄の東部戦線ではロシア兵が大挙して戦線を離脱、革命が始まり、逃げる兵士たちを押し戻そうとした将校団は馬から引きずり下ろされて虐殺される。医師として前線におもむく途中であったユーリは虐殺の現場でラーラと出会い、二人が野戦病院で働いているあいだに革命の炎はモスクワに広がり、激務を果たしてようやく帰宅したユーリを迎えたのは、なんと共同住宅と化した我が家であった。地区住宅委員はユーリとその一家に冷たくあたり、そこへ現われたユーリの腹違いの弟が、これは筋金入りのチェキストであったが、肉親としての情愛を示してモスクワからの脱出を勧め、そこで一家はウラル山脈を目指して出発する。 貨車に乗り込んで旅が始まり（車内でクラウス・キンスキーが強制労働をしている）、焼き打ちをされた村を眺め、白衛軍への反攻を指揮するストレイニコフの装甲列車に追い越され、やがてグロムイコ家が所有するベリキノの屋敷に到着すると、そこは森のパルチザンの手で人民の名において封印されているので、一家は門番小屋で生活を始める。一家はじゃがいもを育て、ユーリは隣の町ユリアティンの図書館を訪れ、そこでラーラと再会を果たす。ラーラは知らなかったが、冷酷をもって鳴る赤軍指揮官ストレイニコフこそ、ラーラが東部戦線で戦死したと思い込んでいる夫パーシャなのであった。そうこうするうちに皇帝一家が銃殺され、ストレイニコフは権力闘争に破れてモンゴルに逃れ、ユーリはいきなりパルチザンに徴用されて白衛軍との戦いに巻き込まれる。そしてその白衛軍はもちろん士官学校の生徒たちを徴用していて、赤軍の機銃に向かって無謀な突撃をするのであった。 パルチザンの指揮官は内戦の終わりと政治闘争の開始を予言し、戦いに疲れたユーリは部隊から逃れて吹雪のなかをベリキノを目指す。疲れた果てたユーリをラーラが出迎え、ユーリとラーラの前には軽蔑すべきコマロフスキーが現われ、ユーリとラーラは凍りついたベリキノの屋敷へと逃れて愛を誓うが、なにしろロシア人がしていることなので悲劇はまだ終わらない。超大作なのである。」http://home.att.ne.jp/iota/aloysius/cinema/07/c_drzhvg.htm Please read the author's, Boris Pasternak, tragic and moving biography at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0664985/bioPasternak's life is as tragic as the main character's, Doctor Zhivago. |

The Russian novel by Boris Pasternak was made into a close to 4 hours movie in 1965, starring very famous actors such as Omar Sharif, Julie Christie and Geraldine Chaplin. This is the original movie. You can purchase this movie from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Zhivago-Two-Disc-Special-Christie/dp/B00003CX9M Well, do you remember when I said Russian people are people of great passions, great sufferings, are pessimistic and they also tend to make everything long?Well, just to give you the gist of the story, here it comes. Imagine it all in a movie. "This complex novel is difficult to summarize. The main characters are introduced separately. We meet Yurii Andreievich Zhivago (Yura) when he is ten, at his mother's funeral. He goes on to study medicine, write poetry, and marry a young woman named Tonya. We first encounter Larisa Foedorovna (Lara) as the adolescent daughter of a widow who has been set up in a dressmaking business by Komarovsky. Komarovsky later harasses and seduces the young woman. In her anger and guilt, the impulsive Lara tries to shoot Komarovsky at a grand Christmas party, but she misses and inadvertently wounds another man. Subsequently, Lara marries Pavel Pavlovich (Pasha), her childhood sweetheart. All this takes place against the background of social upheaval in pre-World War I Russia. When the war begins, Yura joins the Army medical corps. Pasha leaves Lara and their daughter Tanya to enlist in the army. When Pasha is reported lost behind enemy lines, Lara becomes a military nurse in order to search for him. Thus, Lara and Yura meet at a hospital where his wife Tonya has just delivered a baby boy. Lara and Yura feel attracted to one another, but neither one expresses it. At this point the Revolution breaks out in Petersburg. As the fighting rages, Lara and Yura are posted to a hospital in a small town, where Yura struggles with his feelings. When he reports his friendship with Lara, Tonya assumes incorrectly that they have become lovers. Over the winter there are food shortages and the threat of a typhus epidemic. As the war ends, Yura returns home to Moscow, and to his old job at the hospital, but his co-workers are suspicious of him. Influenced by Bolshevism, they dislike his use of intuition instead of logic. The family resolves to travel to the Urals. Amidst Marxist rebellions, Yura's family finds room in a cargo train. During the long train ride, Yura reflects on the suffering of peasants and prisoners caused by the revolution. He shares the desire for equality and freedom, but is disenchanted by the revolutionaries' pedantic, insensitive opinions. The family safely arrives in the Urals and set up a farm. During the long winters, Yura returns to writing poetry. While visiting the local library, he re-encounters Lara. They begin an affair, sharing a common joy in a fully-lived existence. Lara is aware that her husband is still alive, having become a feared member of the Red faction under another name (Strelnikov). Yura resolves to tell his wife about his unfaithfulness and to ask forgiveness, but as he rides home, he is kidnapped by a faction in the Civil War (the Reds) and forced to serve as their doctor. After some years, Yura escapes from the Reds and walks back to find Lara, who still lives in the same place. To escape being informed upon, Lara and Yura flee to the farm house where Yura and his family once lived. Again, Yura turns to his poetry, expressing his fears, courage, and love for Lara. He learns that Tonya and a new baby daughter have been deported from Russia. One night, Lara's old lover, Komarovsky, appears and tells them that the triumphant revolutionaries know where they are and will inevitably kill them both. He offers to take them abroad, where Yura could rejoin his family. Yura refuses to accept help from Komarovsky. To save Lara's life, though, he tells her that he will follow them out of the country, but actually remains behind. Alone, he turns to drink. One night Lara's husband, Strelnikov (Pasha), who is fleeing the new government, arrives. When he learns of Yura and Lara's love, he leaves the house and shoots himself. Yura then goes to Moscow where he strikes up an affair with Marina and becomes a writer of literary booklets. His brother finds him a job at a hospital, but on his way to his first day at work, he dies, presumably of a heart attack. Lara, who had been living in Irkutsk, has returned to Moscow and wanders accidentally into the house where his body lies waiting for burial. After several days, Lara disappears, presumably captured and sent to a concentration camp. For Dr. Zhivago, philosophy, poetry, and medicine are all part of a unified whole."

To my surprise, I flew back to Tokyo, sitting next to a Japanese young girl, a Russian language student at Sofia University, who seemed to perfectly understand this nation's spirit. We discussed how frustrating is to deal with the Russians, and she was agreeing in everything I was saying. However, when I asked her why did she chose Russian language she said it was because Russians have very kind and warm hearts on a personal level. Japanese treat people with care and respect in shops and in the business scene, but their hearts are cold and distant on a personal level, and she appreciated this human warmth. We thought and discussed about the Russian character and we reached our conclusions: 1. Everything in Russia tends to be long. For example: their words, novels, ballet, they talk shows on TV, they talk on the phone long time (it's free of charge to call within the city), parties, etc. 2. There is no diplomatic negotiation or orderly lining up for things, it resembles fighting, actually it becomes fighting. Russians are hot tempered. Russians like to do everything to excess, and if possible in a sentimental way. 3. In Russia everything must be tragic: their novels, movies, theater, ballet, they all end in dispair and tragedy. You never die laughing from a Russian novel. They usually believe to be the slaves of fate and unable to control thier own destiny, therefore they are great pessimists and have no hope of anything turning out well, hence the no change 17 years after the Perestroika. 4. The nation has a severe alcoholism problem and there are often drunks lying in the streets. Today the economy is in bad shape and Russians are struggling to make enough money to live, yet Moscow is the most expensive city in the world right now. 5. Russians have a great sould called dusha and tend to be sentimental and like to open thier souls to you and talk about their lives. They will never consider you a friend before you've gotten dead drunk together. They will drink too much, cry, fall in love, fall out of love, think deeply abut life, then fall asleep. It is not only the working classes who drink, but the intellectual and bureaucratic classes too. Gorbachev's unpopularity started because he attempted to decrease the amount of drinking vodka. Once they caught you, you have to listen to their life story. To foreigners, the Russian soul is indeed very large, but it is also very dark and unhappy, always in search for the meaning of life. 6. Normally, Russians are deep down very serious people (not much humor unless you learn the specific Russian humour), and they love being in touch with other poeple. This is usually done by sitting together for long hours over tea or vodka, frequently in the kitchen (which is in the underground, to keep the wine temperature constant, protecting it from the summer heat and winter freezing -40degrees cold). 7. Even though they are just so pesimistic (the opposite of Mediterranean people who are optimistic), they still believe that they are destined to save the world. This is a contradiction though. Anyway, they think they can do that from every aspect: from culture to politics to ethics to science. For example, they would never show a violent cartoon to their children, their manga is always with a deep ethical message. Just watch Russian movies and you will discover how sentimental, pessimistic and exagerate they are in everything they do. This is how a Russian party (the pictures below are of our actor friends partying) takes place: usually at someone's house, lasts until morning, everyone wakes up with a huge hangover, but by then everyone has told all thier secrets and life histories, they've fooled around, played like kids, fought, made up, threw up, fall asleep, and forgot all about it.
