是的。In the movie, this theme was played again and again for over 5 minutes, with different sets of instruments, and various tones and variations each time. It's one of the most beautiful montages among all films, in my humble opinion.
When I watched this section the first time, I felt I was transported to an eternal age. Today, this montage, with its images and music, reminds me of Biblical times.
这个曲子让我想起收音机上听到的话:"Well, that's the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average." :
Ukulele 在美国也是满大街都是。他们要找的是那种俄国 Ukulele。所以费了很大劲。
我在 Doctor Zhivago DVD 的 extra features 里看到这个故事。
其实在配曲上，导演，作曲家之间发生了很多争议。作曲家 Maurice Jarre 为很多片段写了很多别的曲子，最后都没有被导演采用。导演 David Lean 做主，把 Lara's theme 在电影里到处使用。我都觉得明显地用过头了。Maurice 的气愤就可想而知了。你知道最后的结果吗？最后的结果由谁决定？Take a wild guess.
While working on the soundtrack for Doctor Zhivago, Maurice Jarre was asked by director David Lean to come up with a theme for the character of Lara, played by Julie Christie. Initially Lean had desired to use a well-known Russian song but could not locate the rights to it, and delegated responsibility to Jarre. After several unsuccessful attempts at writing it, Lean suggested to Jarre that he go to the mountains with his girlfriend and write a piece of music for her. Jarre says that the resultant piece was "Lara's Theme", and Lean liked it well enough to use it in numerous tracks for the film. In editing Zhivago, Lean and producer Carlo Ponti reduced or outright deleted many of the themes composed by Jarre; Jarre was angry because he felt that an over-reliance on "Lara's Theme" would ruin the soundtrack.
Jarre's esthetic fears proved unfounded commercially, however, as the theme became an instant success and gained fame throughout the world.
最后是导演和制片人合伙对付作曲家一个人。制片人可以 fire 连导演在内的任何人。所以。。。Money talks?
虽然这个曲子在电影里被过度使用了。但是，普通观众显然没有觉得这有何不妥。导演和制片押宝押的不错。
话又说回来。如果按照 Maurice Jarre 的设计做配乐。配乐可能照样成功。但是，历史是无法重写的。。。
One good thing came out of all these fighting: Jarre won Oscar for best original score. Small justice for Mr. Jarre.

楼主
我把后八只曲子放在第一帖里了。你可能把 18 和 19 搞混了。19 是与俄国有关。18 与俄国没有关系。19 是这里很多人喜爱的某个电影的主题曲。

写下来最好。
