11.24.09 – Zhivago

It’s now beginning to set in that winter is here, or nearly here. I’m going to have to get out my winter coat, which hopefully I can still fit in. Along with the typical winter images that come to mind when I think about this season, I get snippets of Dr. Zhivago. I have no idea why. I’m ashamed to say, I don’t even think I have seen the movie in its entirety. Something about those romantic snowy scenes with Omar Sharif at his most dashing and Julie Christie wearing that black shawl, makes winter seem almost bearable.
