My love of movies began here

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2005)

I first saw this movie when I was 11 years old. A shy girl in a country town, I knew little of men and war, however this movie etched itself so profoundly in my memories, that when I watched it again in my 30's I could recall every scene, every word, every nuance of the actors so clearly I felt that I had been there in the desert, breathing the dry dusty air. A movie that moves the soul, both with sound and vision. A superb cast of actors, a moment in time we are fortunate to have forever. I knew nothing of homosexuality when I was 11, but I did understand love, perhaps this movie helped me become a little more tolerant. Now I am 52, I cried 41 years ago and I know I will again when I next watch Lawrence of Arabia.
