Review of Lawrence of Arabia (1962) by Four Star F — 09 Aug 2014
A film of truly epic proportions, in length, scenery, and brilliance, Lawrence of Arabia is wonderfully made. Peter O'Toole delivers a stellar performance as T.E. Lawrence, a British soldier during World War I.
The movie begins with his death from a motorcycle crash which gives an early view of his character. Then a flashback goes to his time in Africa and the heroics he showed there. Lawrence's task was to unite the Arab tribes and lead them in rebellion against the enemy so the British might win.
A very unique, at times controversial, and long unheralded man, Lawrence contributed to the war effort in a far different way. Although it seemed he was soon lost to history his feats of courage and bravery renewed his legacy.
This is one of those films you want to see on the big screen because the scenery and cinematography is just that impressive by itself.
