"LAWRENCE OF ARABIA", is basically a cinema class

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2020)

This 228-minute long epic historical film is turned into an enthralling classic thanks to the performances of O'Toole and Sharif, creative directing by Lean, smart script by Bolt and Wilson, and legendary score from Jarre. The 1962 film still visually holds up today because of the stunning cinematography by Young. The movie handles themes and social commentary about ethics and politics during war very well. The themes that most resonated with me were the battle between compassion and retaliation, definition of identity, and the idea of destiny.
