Tedious

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2000)

After three hours of watching this film I went and had a bath and when I came back it was still going. Why we're all expected to swoon over this film I don't know. I always found it a colossal bore. Okay, nice scenery but it's basically yellow and flat. The endless vanities and self aggrandisements of the characters are supposed to enthrall us I suspose. Lawrence walking along the top of the train to stirring music is supposed to do what exactly? Having to shoot the man he laboured so hard to save and at great personal risk was the only interesting irony that compelled me a bit. I can't bear Lean's films.
