(Saw in 70mm) When Lawrence blew out that match I gasped
Patrick WillemsJul 15, 2013how is a colonialist epic about a tormented sadist with a twinkle in his eyes so universally beloved?" ... best not to answer that. what i find most amazing about Lean's masterpiece is that such a politically thorny, morally vague 228-minute film about a man's…

Got to see a pristine, gorgeous 70mm print at the Aero, thanks to American Cinematheque. Was able to bring my 13-year-old son (his first time seeing it, and he really liked it!) and I'll treasure the memory of watching it with him this way.

Four glorious hours of camels walking in extreme long shot. Oh, and also a pretty devastating subversion of the white man's burden narrative, in which a man hates his own people and tries to go native, but is always reminded he cannot, no matter his accomplishments. Another…
Jake ColeApr 19, 2018Always thrown by how incredibly melancholy all four hours of this truly is - beginning with the literal death of a legend as we are then forced to witness one man’s breaking point and greatest regrets. Spoilers (I guess), but T.E. Lawrence’s happy-go-lucky charmer is…

A well-made movie, but with historical distortion, Arabs being portrayed badly, and Lawrence being shown to be the purifying angel, that will anger anyone who knows the real history!

heisenburger37 likedLawrence of ArabiaA truly beautiful movie, the scenery is some of the best I’ve seen. A movie actually using the truly beautiful world we live on instead of using cheaply made cgi scenery that we get more off. I love this movie the only thing bringing it down is the mild distortion of history.
Cinemutt lovedLawrence of ArabiaNot 100% accurate, but a masterpiece of a movie with a heartbreaking protagonist. This touched my freakin soul. After reading the 7 pillars, I rlly wish they would’ve shown all of his redemption instead of just a hero’s journey but his “fall” & comeback were perfect + the ending
Will Cannon lovedLawrence of ArabiaThis is one of the most beautifully made movies ever. The cinematic transitions are awe inspiring. I wish more long movies would include an intermission. It’s hard to focus on the movie when you’ve got to pee.

Guys stop disliking my Superman review I only like good movies
Kareem likedLawrence of ArabiaInteresting character study, and very detailed and impressively well-made film (despite some historical inaccuracies and other flaws). There's a reason why many great directors studied and were influenced by it. Remarkable breakthorugh.
Sabrina Bondi likedLawrence of ArabiaLawrence of Arabia is technically superb, and the desert photography, in technicolor, is memorable for its beauty. My only great is its length.

The movie manages both senses of scale—the intimate and the expansive—with equal majesty, merging them into something moving, mesmerizing, and poetic, in a way only Lean movies could really manage.

In short, they don't make 'em like this one anymore. Viewing it is like taking a time machine to a movie age that was more naive than our own in some ways, more sophisticated and ambitious in others.

What a bold, mad act of genius it was, to make Lawrence of Arabia, or even think that it could be made.
