My All Time Favorite Movie

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2001)

This is simply the best movie ever made.
For the life of me I can't understand someone who watches this movie and doesn't appreciate it. The events in this movie actually happened. Of course its Hollywood's version, but it is a beautiful interpretation of the events surrounding this incredible man call Lawrence. The photography is stunning. The acting is brilliant. Please watch this in the wide screen format to get the full experience. The pan and scan just ruins this movie.
I have watched this movie over and over and I still go through the movie asking myself, "Do I like this guy or do I despise him?" You can find yourself asking the same question of yourself. Lawrence's character is riddled with contradictions and character flaws, but we can all relate to these flaws and even embrace them.
My favorite quote sums up the whole movie for me:
Lawrence: I killed two people. One was yesterday. He was just a boy and I led him into quicksand. The other was... well... before Aqaba. I had to execute him with my pistol and there was something about it that I didn't like.
Allenby: That's to be expected.
Lawrence: No, something else.
Allenby: Well, then let it be a lesson.
Lawrence: No... something else.
Allenby: What then?
Lawrence: I enjoyed it.
