King of the epics a real journey into self discovery

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2008)

If Lawrence of Arabia was not to America before this film then afterwards he should be, this picture is one of the best biography films ever, and one of the greatest films ever.
Now from the outside you may say it looks like a boring movie, not is a journey to find acceptance even if it with barbarians that is what Lawrence wants. When we first see Peter O' Toole (Lawrence) he is just a office boy, who is a little bit of a misfit. The higher officers want to wage war against the Turks by using the different and waring tribes of Arabia.
We see Lawrence and his guide end up in the sand after an excellent switch cut, it has a great scene which introduced Omar Sheriff to the world and what introduction the mirage effect, one of the amazing scenes in move history, a few dodgy decisions not least Alec Guinness as a Arab prince seems a little misjudged in todays day and age but he is serviceable.
The best performance of the whole thing is Laawrence he seems like a man finding his place but that place is just a world of violence, in one scene he admits he loves killing and one point he can't stand to look at his self.
If you have not seen It see it.
