A great tale...

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2008)

...of Lawrencre Of Arabia
Is actually a GREAT movie about the desert, colonialism and a bit of history. The imagery is simply amazing, so is the acting, and the story. simply splendid. Only thing that I would have to say against it is that it's slow, but the images make that an unimportant matter, now at least you can actually see the whole beauty of it.
Only bad thing of the movie really, NO women. Yea some dead ones, in a village... Really, 3 hours, no women.
Summary: (CONTAINS SPOILERS, well not really, but i guess to be on the safe side) The story is about an (extra)ordinary British soldier in the (I assumed) first world war, not in england, in Cairo, from there he was sent to help prince Feisal of the Arabs. He ends up with conquering Damascus and fighting for the Arabs, or the British? I'm sorry, i really can't say much without spoiling your movie :(
All I can say is, when watching this movie, first of all pay good attention to the cinematographics, then, ask yourself, what's his motive (what's everyones motive for that matter), what moves him and what does he think.
If you stay in that question-asking-mood, i doubt you will find this movie boring (slow....) and i think you'll very much like to spend your 3 hours on this!
