Film Lesson: Doctor Zhivago

Doctor Zhivago depicted the revolution because the Russian people were beginning to get dragged into a war with Germany that they were sure to lose. The Russian people wanted a change because the Czar was treating them unfairly. The Revolution also had some outside help. When Russia lost the battle between the Japanese, the Russian people lost faith. When they backed out of WWI , they gave up chunks of land to their allies and Germany. The revolution also happened because the Russian people went to the Czars house,they were all killed. The film depicted communism because of Lenin and his brother that was part of the red army. Dr. Zhivago got a taste of communism when he returned home because he had his house being shared and his things being given away.
