Film Lesson: Doctor Zhivago


In the film Doctor Zhivago; Doctor Zhivago depicted the Russian Revolution as a way for the Russians standing for what they believed in. There were some reasons that the Russians wanted a change. One reason was the unfairness in the government of Russia. The government was unfair because it was under the control of the Czar. Another one was the lack of food and money in Russia. So much money was put in for the support in WWI. Food was also lacking because so much food was sent out to the troops.
The filmed depicted communism in a way to join forced with political leaders to overthrow the Czar government. When doctor Zhivago returned from the war he noticed something weird about this home. Since his house was so big, his house was used to support about 15 families in it. Right there it should communism. Doctor Zhivago had to share his house among the poor people which meant everyone was equal.
