one of the better epics

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2004)

as a debut in movies peter o toole's must be the best.he fitted the part to a tee even showing the inner emotions of lawrence. i.e. the scene where he had to shoot the man he went back to rescue. cinematography was excellent although some might argue all you had to do was point the camera. I would mention the shot when sheriff ali rode out of the desert. lawrence on top of the train after the carnage. the meeting in sheik faisals tent, etc, etc. he is given a christ like reverence in the film but his failings are shown too.Before the charge he shouts show no prisoners, which i think was when it started getting out of hand for him. At the end of the film i was left with the feeling of a solitary man who wanted to do some good in the world and got carried away with it. power corrupts.absolute power absolutely corrupts. still one of the best film's i have ever seen. 9 out of 10
