One of the greatest masterpieces of all times

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2001)

Only David Lean could join together, so brilliant talented actors, and strong egos, to bring us, perhaps the greatest movie masterpiece of all times, Really unforgettable the Peter O'Toole performance[ it is hard to believe he was the second option for Lawrence's role], in his leading role, with some magic scenes and words, as said in the desert crossing: 'Nothing is written, unless you write on your mind'. I can't understand why O'Toole was not awarded with the American Oscar[ Gregory Peck should forgive me, since he is also a great actor, but in my view, not at the same level of O'Toole, mainly by comparing with this film]. Also the musical theme and photography , surely complete this entire masterpiece. To close my comments, to me, very few movies deserve a grade 10, and Lawrence of Arabia is ,for all reasons ,among them.
