“When it come to making epics, David Lean is the master and what better proof than this masterpiece. u0026quot;Lawrence Of Arabiau0026quot; was first shown in 1962 and after almost 40 years later, it is still beautiful. The story of T. E. Lawrence is wonderfully brought to us by David Lean, director of another masterpiece called u0026quot;The Bridge On The River Kwaiu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDavid Lean has shown us a manu0026#39;s long, yet never boring (at least for me) journey into the deserts of Arabia. Lawrence (Peter Ou0026#39;Toole) is an ordinary man that becomes a hero (at least in my eyes) during his extensive tenure in Arabia. He becomes a traveler, a great man, and a leader to the people that he has associated with. Only director David Lean could have given us a movie experience like this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAn assortment of phenomenal actors are collected for this movie and what a cast! Peter Ou0026#39;Toole, Omar Sharif, Anthony Quinn, Alec Guiness and so much more portray their characters with intensity and believability. Never have I been so impressed. As Lawrence, Peter Ou0026#39;Toole plays the role of which his name is most associated with and is surprising for me that he made the role his own because before I got a chance to see this movie I imagined a man opposite from someone like Peter Ou0026#39;Toole. Omar Sharif as Ali is one of the most charismatic characters in film history. I will not say anymore about the cast because Iu0026#39;m allowed only 1,000 words to use in my comment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWill all do respect to classics such as u0026quot;Gone With The Windu0026quot; and even u0026quot;Bridge on the River Kwaiu0026quot;this is without a doubt the most exciting epic of all time. I highly recommend it!”
