I'd never seen the movie, Dr. Zhivago, though I've heard of it most of my life. Upon seeing it at the library, I snatched it up thinking, "Finally! I'll see this classic, award winning movie."
Husband and I watched it over two nights--though I'm not sure why, other than it's very long, and like most train-wrecks, it was hard to NOT finish watching it.
Our dialogue during this incredibly depressing, morose, moral failure of a movie, went something like this...
"This is horrible."
"Wow. This is horrible."
"The whole thing is nothing but infidelity!"
"This is horrible."
Husband returned home tonight to inform me that all day he thought about this movie and how horrible it was.
Apparently, it won like five Academy Awards. It was horrible! Even the acting was bad. The history was not even told in a manner that you could figure out what was happening. It was wretched from the first scenes. There was absolutely no redeeming quality about it. The so-called famous "Somewhere My Love" song was repeated to such an absurd level that it became the montra for a cheating spouse.
In case you've never seen it, don't bother! Did I mention it's horrible?!
