I saw Lawrence of Arabia when it came out and again when it was re-issued, inspired by it as a teen and entertained by it as an "oldster." Led by it to read some of Lawrence's writings and something about his life, it helped shape my understanding of the world today. There was also, I believe, a PBS documentary on Lawrence. Anyway, the general unfortunate ignorance of the English speaking peoples of their own history, the history of other peoples, and of how they, the Anglo-Americans, are viewed both justifiably and unjustifiably by the rest, by most, of humanity, is an ignorance that should be lessened by any good means available. This movie has much to contribute to that end while entertaining handsomely.
