Review of Lawrence of Arabia (1962) by Kisaan T — 30 Jun 2012
Lawrence of Arabia is David Lean's style-trademark at its peak. There is something very thin and something which joins the words Epics and Classics together. Something which we know but can't speak or write that easily.
Something that is only offered to us, when we grab out something old and cinematic famous to watch. Lawrence of Arabia is one of those many great old films, which makes us understand the meaning of being an 'Epic' and a 'Classic'.
Today's films are called less to be classics because they cannot match the quality of those old classics, and even if today's films try to make it such way, they're called as 'Modern Classics'.
Films like Lawrence of Arabia will not be made and cannot be made today. Lawrence of Arabia offers and explains in its full course, the exploration of wilderness in human temperament, which when sees a motive (as like a 'Revolt' in this film) doesn't sees anything else other than that motive.
Lawrence of Arabia makes us familiar with the greatness achieved by some, and consequences that happen due to it. Peter O'Toole's character is represented like an Emperor. Like Alexander. Who is in his own melody of emotions, and yet who is rebellious, and believes in his own imagined righteousness.
The film is long no doubt, but David Lean became famous and successful for it, didn't he? Which is why, once you finish watching his films, you get a deep sense of satisfaction, and you're left with many dramatic points to jot down in your life.
