Not at all. I thought it would be more direct, not quite so catty. I was more surprised by Dick's use of the word militant. I almost made it halfway through
His standout comment regarding women was how their essential, pure femininity has the power to transform society. He's obviously right with that statement. I think many today argue that women have just tried to become like men, which, if true, contributes to the "masculine mess" mentioned here. However, O'Toole definitely says a lot here without much clarity.
Unpopular opinion: Lawrence of Arabia is, arguably, the most overrated classic picture of all time. I was 2 hours in, they were still in the desert, and I questioned every recommendation zI’ve ever read. Love O’Tool acting, do not love that movie, Al all, Anyone else have s difficult time with the movie?
It's a biopic. It can be quite difficult to watch because the storytelling is linear, it's largely true to life and so it doesn't have the dozens unexpected twists and turns a fictional story would have, and you know where it's going most of the time anyway. So it all comes down to enjoying the cinematography and the portrayals. Which are amazing in every sense of the word.
These are some rather disappointing takes. So what if a film takes its time? So what if a film takes mostly in one place? Great filmmaking is not a competition to cram in as many "things happening" as possible. A large part of slower paced cinema is mood, so that is to say I can understand if certain people simply don't vibe with it or don't find the subject matter interesting, but that doesn't make it any less an objectively well-constructed film. It remains one of my favourites, and it's rare that I come across a film as long as Lawrence of Arabia that seems to go by as quickly, personally.
Were you surprised by Peter O'Toole's stance? Let us know in the comments!
Yes he is subtle and quite wise and reminds me a bit off Jordan Peterson....!

One of my favorite actors because he's so damn funny. *a RARE drunk all the time funny*

Women's liberation and feminism has destroyed society.
Brilliant!!
Mr. O'Toole is a kool kat.
Minus the drinking but yes. So suave.
Brilliant scathing articulate insight from O'Toole. He takes no prisoners and gives credit where it's due without deference to political correctness.
Extraordinary!!! 🤩🤩
Amazing x where did we all go wrong in 2024
-----------‐------------- his eloquent narrative was literary.....ping - pong match ...... thanks4sharing
any Richard Harris?
O'Toole definitely needed a shovel to dig himself out of that one
Interesting where the germs of our present society began.
Wow was he wrong. That same wife left him for a younger man.
Lol
Waffle.
Gawd…why do we celebrate ALCOHOLICS?
This is Peter's worst interview ever.

For the time it was good, but nowadays it is slow & a bit dated.

@@optimisticbeard1485 You are correct. It is one of the most beautiful tragedies of all time. Lawrence of Arabia will always be a masterpiece.
It's excellent for any era.
He is a rambling fool.
Takes one to know one
You post soap operas! LOL
No, he's a genuine artist.
He was a notorious alcoholic. Wouldn't shock me if he was drunk in this interview. Sure sounds like it.
