Interesting until the climax of the film, then it gets boring

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2013)

Doctor Zhivago is such an interesting and intriguing film. It's a very unconventional work for the standards of the 60s. Why? It's all about the narrative. The way that the story is told is unconventional and original, 'cause in the vastly majority of times the protagonist is presented and 'explained' into the very first thirty minutes. However, there in Dr.Zhivago, the protagonist barely appears in the first 30 minutes, and is a weak character until the entire first hour. This happened due to an unusual break of the rule which i mentioned previously. Instead of presenting the protagonist, it chooses to develop a secondary character.
But it was an unfortunate choice, because the story of this secondary character is not important to the point to deserve an entire 60 minutes just focused in it. It's not boring.neither is uninteresting; is just pointless. I also bothered with the plenty of pointless characters in this film. Sure they are interesting, but almost none of them adds absolutely nothing to the film. The final 30 minutes are very disappointed too.
Now, in the technical regards, this film is nothing less than formidable. Good cinematography and soundtrack. The acting, nothing less than phenomenal. Highlights for the performance by Omar Sharif as Yuri. And to the entire cast as well; all the actors do deserves shoot outs. The overacting aspect broke the dark,tough and somewhat realistic atmosphere of the film.
So, if you are planing to watch it, do it. This film is a classic, and also a somewhat interesting experience. 7.3/10.
