David’s Reviews > Doctor Zhivago > Status Update

Zhivago's character espouses christian philosophy, naturalism and psychology "consciousness" themes. His views of christianity interestingly parallel the Russian Revolution since he believes that Christ created, separated a new mankind, the individual, from the Roman, pagan past while the 1917 Revolution created a new country, a new, collective, man. Pasternak lauds the prior and criticizes the latter.
