        I might be confused and you are not talking about Zhivago the movie, but if you are, inspite of its rather ridiculous Hollywood nature, it has some true touches about the post-revolution life in Russia.
        
        "It has some true touches." Well that's a relief to know! - clarkjohnsen 07:44:01 11/10/03 (1)

        By Doctor Zhivago Syndrome I mean that when Pasternak's novel came out in Italy in the late 50s, I believe, there were demonstrations of people holding posters and generally maligning the book. But noone had read it. It was banned.
        So I was hinting to that. We all have a little prejudice in us.
        I liked the 1st Matrix. It was excellent and dynamic. And a pretty good sci-fi flick too.

        ***We all have a little prejudice in us.
        Sometimes it is called experience.
        At any rate, it is completely incorrect to suggest that one must watch the whole movie to know what it is.

        I think you're relying on commercial snippets. You'd never rent it.:)
        Anyhow, Matrix 1 is not a bad film.
        Perhaps better than not bad.
        
        You are right - I would NEVER rent it, but I saw parts on TV channels - Victor Khomenko 06:38:43 11/08/03 (0)

        What I saw bored me to death.
        I can and have watched many bad films - I am good at finding fun elements in many of them. That one was such a nothing I simply forgot and moved on.
        I will take the Commando any day over it. Or any (OK, almost any) of Stalone or Bronson films.
        BTW - I can't recall the instance when the commercial clips provided a wrong impression. Maybe there ARE such cases, but I can't recall any.
