Epic!
If you want to see a tragic love story look no further. Set amongst the Russian revolution, Doctor Zhivago's love story is light in a world of darkness. Our main characters aren't supposed to love each other. Yuri is rich and Lara is poor. Both are married to someone else, but even though they fight the intial urge, they can't help but to fall into each other's arms. It seems they are the only happiness for each other in an existence of nothing but pain. With a story such as this the end result obviously cannot be a happy one. The two lovers last scene together is one of the saddest I've ever seen. After being separated because of the political climate they live with Yuri sees Lara walking along a street from his seat in a streetcar. He rushes off the car only to have a heart attack before he can get Lara's attention. Lara's greatest love dies behind her and she never knows. She continues on to wherever she might be going. As if to symbolize the dream the two were chasing that was so close, but just a little too far away.
