This movie shows the same thing that's happening in the Arab word now, back in 1962!

History Repeats Itself...
We are the stupidest people in the entire universe.
This movie shows us two things:
1. How power corrupts and vanity ensures.
2. How the Arab culture lends itself easily exploitable.
And this is a fun movie too (it is a movie after all). There is subtle attention to detail all around, especially the expressions by the actors, you can read more from those than all the talking (just like in real life).
Lawrence is a good man. A little vain, but good nonetheless. But put a person in an extreme circumstance and it changes him. Peter O'Toole's acting was too good. I could clearly feel what was going on in him. We who have lived out childhood days in a peaceful cultured society, can't cope with the brutality of war. Nowadays we have a lot of movies that show violence in graphic detail (The Revenant) to better make us understand a different world. This movie without showing the gore is able to tell us the 'why', so much more clearly. The story, editing, cinematography, everything is just that superb.
I felt that this movie was at a higher level than even Shawshank Redemption. Relatively that is just a movie. And this one goes far beyond.
I finished the move thinking of just one thing. We need to educate and culture our young from the smallest age to love and respect 'everyone'. No matter how different they are or how bizarre they are. Showing them the art of standing in another man's shoes.
Please do watch this movie. Almost a must watch, on the levels of Life is Beautiful.
