I've watched the russian war epic Doctor Zhivago on you tube in one setting. Boy was I overwhelmed with melancholy. The story is so moving and I cannot help but feel the impossible love that Yuri Zhivago has for Lara and all the sadness of all the parties involved amidst the war. Hans matheson is so perfect for the role. He's a sensitive musical soul and appreciates poetry himself. This TV miniseries remake of the 1965 version stars a 17 year old Keira Knightly whose beautiful face is so refreshing to look at. Put them together and the entire film with its beautiful scenery, the historic war documentary clips and the moving music by ludovico so perfect.
Actually there is very little dialogue in the movie. Many of the scenes required great acting since the emotions were all communicated in the facial expressions, body language and the eyes- the windows of the soul. Frankly, Hans matheson melts my heart. He first captured it being Marius Pontmercy in Les Miserables film with the innocent looking Claires Danes. His deep set blue eyes speaks volumes and often the tears make you want to have a good cry too! Join him, be with him in the acting etc etc. There's a part of me that loves to act but I prefer to be a private person.
Any way this whole hans matheson thing is making me feel much emotionally and muscially. I am re-engaging and nursing my literary side which i once loved about myself. Shakespeare, william wordsworth, jane austen, leo tolstroy etc ya, music and poetry go hand in hand Schmann would definitely agree wholeheartedly. Its just a pity that i spent most of mid 2001-2002 crying over a doc wilson when I could have done so over such a good love story Doctor Zhivago. Nevertheless, I am not afraid to admit that i want to know hans, however impossible it may seem and I am not even a beautiful young lara nor keira. hahaha
