David Lean's Grand Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2001)

"Lawrence of Arabia" is a work of a art. David Lean brilliantly directs this magnificent piece of visual excellence and molds it with a well-told story (screenplay by Robert Bolt). Freddie Young's capture of the beautiful desert makes this film a joy to watch, along with the music of Maurice Jarre that ties in perfectly with the concept of the film. But most of all, Peter O'Toole, in the role that made him not only a successful film star, but a legend among all movie-lovers. The way he blends in with the character of T.E. Lawrence is uncanny; he truly makes this film a joy to watch. I recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it but truly loves movies. Trust me, this one is a movie of the ages.
