Sheer Greatness

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2004)

Lawernce of Arabia,
Where can someone start or end? An absolutely fantastic movie.
A first class playing by Peter O Toole, based on real events and on a novel written by Lawrence himself shows the extraordinary life - and death - of commander Lawrence - who although an imperialist, fells in love with Arabia, goes above and beyond commands and orders and in a few years re-writes the politics in the middle East.
It is not just a biography of a determined soldier as some might want to think. It shows how a man's passion and willingness can make him truly divine.
10/10
