I don't know if I could have followed all of those Russian names (each character has like three or four different names) if I didn't already have some understanding of the story.

I heard Garrison Keillor talking about Pasternak and Zhivago yesterday on "The Writer's Almanac" and was thinking I want to watch the movie again.
