A long lastning work of art

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2020)

Just spent almost 4 hours watching Lawrance of Arabia and not really know what to think about it. I rarely watch "old" films, if so to speak, and I usally dont like them. Dont know what is the cause of it, Its something about the storyline which I believe sometimes can be very confusing and unclear, and If Im being honest Lawrance of Arabia had some moments of confusing, which I of course didnt like because I enjoy to keep up with the film so I dont miss out on something. This was primarly tords the end of the film. And with The very complex main character, Lawrance, which I at sometimes didnt understand his thinking, and he seems very special but an intresting man.
But the things I did understand and kept up with was first of all a great storyline, with many cool and beurifull views and shots of nature, buildings, People, etc. It had many cool places like Sevilla and other beutiful halls and buildings, and also for example The palm trees and the rivers. And because of the films length I can only guess that the person who wrote it had quite a story to tell, and im glad The made it so long because If not, it would have been an intererly different film. The film had many "quite" scenes and which dont have a bunch of telling, which I guess many old films have. But I kind of like it because then you can reflect and think about what had happend.
The film take place in Arabia under the first world war and I think the film looks very much like that time with the clothes, buildings and peoples behavior and talking. And having the film being pretty old in itself is very intresting to say the least. With The film having a really good showing of both english culture and mid-eastern culture.
So I am not really sure what to give this because Im very confused. But I love that its so long and again the suroundings of nature and buildings, different culture, different People, etc. So will give it an eight dont think it deserves more than that but maybe my opinion change whem I get older.
