Film lesson: Doctor Zhivago
Dr. Zhivago depicted a society in the middle of war, with itself and other countries. It depicted this by the people trying to defeat the Russian Cavalry and they ended up getting massacred. They also showed the soldiers abandoning the war so that they would not have to be there anymore. The Russian people wanted change because the government was treating the people like they were nothing. This is why people wanted to make change, tom prevent them from having to deal with a ruler who does not care about them. They depicted communism as a political system that was unorganized. They showed this by having 13 different families living in one house, even though it originally belonged to Doctor Zhivago. He was shocked when he saw it being run like this. He was also confused on how it worked.
