Descripción

David Lean's masterpiece, perhaps the greatest of screen epics, stars Peter O'Toole in one of the most electrifying debuts in film history. The film is less an ordinary adventure than an experience that leaves an overwhelming sense memory of the struggle between two powerful forces: the Arabian deserts, immense, intractable, ever-shifting, punishing; and T.E. Lawrence, humble as a monk, flamboyant as a rock star, protean, polymathic, heroic, enigmatic, mad. While working on the staff of British Intelligence in Cairo in 1916, Lawrence's fluency in Arabic earns him a post on a mission sent to establish contact with Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), leader of the Arab revolt and ally of the British against the German-sponsored Turks in WWI. Impressed by Lawrence's knowledge of their culture, the prince allows the young officer to join his staff, and Lawrence quickly earns the Arabs' respect after he executes acts of extraordinary heroism. As the Englishman's genius for guerrilla warfare becomes evident, he assumes the role of de facto leader of the Arab revolt, uniting the heretofore warring tribes into a devastatingly effective weapon. But the chaos of war also unleashes the repressed officer's powerful need for self-abasement and mortification of the flesh. A visionary work that unfolds one indelible image after another, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA fuses the conflict of man against man, man against nature, and man against himself into a sublime poem of force. The film features a literate script by Robert Bolt and an outstanding cast, which also includes Claude Rains, Jack Hawkins, Arthur Kennedy, Anthony Quinn, Jose Ferrer, and Omar Sharif in his unforgettable desert-crossing debut.

Lawrence of Arabia 2-Disc Set DVD

Beautiful landscapes, great acting, great fabricated story hinting at the sadist pleasures and hidden homosexuality of T.E. Lawrence played by Peter O'Toole.  Sir David Lean's greatest achievement as director.

A huge movie that must be seen in a theater with a wide screen. It was a monster hit when it was released and must have cost a fortune to make. Peter O'Toole's best work ever.

It took me 2 days to finish this one off, but it was worth the ride. Peter O'Toole was fantastic as Al Lawrence and seems I saw Omar Sharif before (Dr. Zhivago) he was equally brilliant. A good one to add to the ole' DVD library.

This is a true blockbuster. See if you agree with me that the climax of the film is the massacre scene with Arthur Kennedy saying, Jesus Wept! The film-maker does a good job developing the character of one of that weird set of Brits, the Arabist.

Stunning film. Spectacular 70mm photography, wonderful cast. This is truly one of the great films. See the desert sun in 70mm and it becomes a "character" too. Great fim by a great director.

Lawrence of Arabia 2-Disc Set DVD

"Who are you?" The question shouted at him from across the Suez Canal is one that T.E. Lawrence spent his entire life trying to answer. It is not surprising, then, that David Lean's epic film fails to provide us with an answer to that question. Lawrence was many things -- bastard son, wandering scholar, ineffectual subaltern, idealist, romantic warrior, military genius, cold-blooded killer,...

It may not be factual, but visually there is no movie that can touch it. And that's what motion pictures are really all about.

Lawrence of Arabia 2-Disc Set DVD

Cannot avoid watching it over and over whenever it comes on TV. Captivating scenes, music background, the stars of that day and the starting Omar Sharif. This, Out of Africa, Gone with the Wind, Dances with Wolves, In Harms Way, The Longest Day, and more stand out as keepers in my book. Does anyone know the shooting/edit goof (Royale) made in Pulp Fiction? When you watch again, watch for bullet...
