Excellent adaptation.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
"Lawrence of Arabia". Man, this movie is a tremendously powerful masterpiece. This movie caused Spielberg and many others to become filmmakers.I first saw this movie at a young age ,and despite the pacing and the extreme runtime of 3 hrs and a quarter, this movie is a magnificent celebration of stunning visuals, smart screenplay, epic music by the late Maurice Jarre, and amazing action sequences and one Lawrence, Peter O'Toole.After watching this movie for the 6th time ,i made research about the true epic story behind the film and i really list it as my 2nd favorite adventure film ever alongside the first Indiana Jones but i may think that no other adventure movie can top of this.Yes ,the running time is extremely long and too much exhausting ,yes the pace is too slow but this movie is a freaking jewel.Must see film for everyone.
For some unknown reason I've always had an attraction to this film and it's enigmatic lead character. Which is why I went all through my high school and college years refusing to see it on the small screen in the hopes that I would someday have the chance to see it on the big screen. I was about to give up when in 1987 they released the 25th anniversary edition. Boy, am I glad I waited. I was not disappointed and this film was even more than I'd imagined it to be, which is super tough considering I'd been building it up in my mind for almost 15 years. The story, score, costumes, performances and most significantly Lean's deft and inspired direction all held me captivated from beginning to end. I'd read several biographies of T.E. Lawrence, and was this film a wholly accurate depiction of him and the events during the Arab campaign, not exactly. Then again it's a dramatic film inspired by Lawrence and not a documentary, which is why I take issue with those who complain that the film is not a detail by detail account and I remind myself that for every film inspired by either a real person or book that there will always be those hold-outs who refuse to allow themselves to fully enjoy art for arts sake. Oh well, their loss. As for me and anyone else reading this review I cannot recommend this film enough, and if possible see it on the big screen to fully appreciate it. I am an admirer of Lean's work but do want to add that I actually appreciate the full theatrical release quite a bit more than the special director's cut release.
Overlong and repetitive screenplay. O'Toole is charismatic. Story followed Lawrence's disillusionment with his Arab followers but he must have been equally disillusioned with the deception of the British and the French. This is referred to but Lawrence is largely left out of it and we are made to believe his disillusionment is more to do with the Arabs rather than the politicians. I think the reverse is probably truer. To see him confront those who betrayed his ideals would have given balance to the movie. The motorbike death is portrayed as an accident. I had the impression it wasn't. In all, Lawrence was probably even more fascinating than he is here. His probable homosexuality is never referred to (his masochism is hinted at). Omar Sharif matches O'Toole perfectly. Film is worth the watching for these two performances alone. (viewed 9/16)
The best film every made! Astounding! The desert scenery is spectacular and Peter O'Toole's performance is amazing. A must see film, 10 out of 10!
