excellent but historically untrue

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 1999)

I have watched this film many times. Every time I watched I got very sad about the psychological analysis of the English Agent Lawrence. He is fond of Arabs, and he supports Sharif Hussein's rebellion against Ottoman Empire may be something as a Crusader's attitude. He is not a sadist and latent homosexual as mentioned in the film. In the cinema history Lawrence of Arabia should be mentioned as the main monument of David Lean. Charismatic Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif and Alec Guiness made the film excellent with their enormous acting. I am an admirer of the film even my grandfather has fought as an Ottoman Officer against Arab and English troops in the deserts.
