Short Review :-
Watched Lawrence Of Arabia (1962)
David Lean grows Greenery in the Desert. 226 Minutes of pure filmmaking lesson from Legend David Lean. Lawrence Of Arabia is claimed as One of the Greatest Films ever made, although i disagree bit i also agree bit of it. Biographical drama and adventure comes together with majestic form of Cinematography and storytelling. One can complain about its long runtime but those were the days when they used to make Good Films with full content rather than money making spicy things like now days. Don't forget that 226 Runtime still won it Best Editing Award at Oscars. David Lean did a spendid job again just after The Bridge On The River Kwai in Lawrence Of Arabia with top notch directorial and presentation skills. A big cast is well handled and well trained to showcase absolute great acting skills but unfortunately couldn't win any Oscar. Peter O'Toole as Lawrence, Anthony Quinn as Auda and Omar Sherif as Sherif Ali take over the screen as if they were real characters. If i am praising David Lean for a wonderful Spectacle then Cinematography of F. A. Young and Music score by Maurice Jarre deserve special mention here. Overall, Lawrence Of Arabia couldn't connect me as it did to Arabians and Englishmen due to historic background but it is still enough to be called a Classic as a Mainstream Film.
Rating- 8/10*
