It’s nice to see that Lieutenant Gibbons was finally gazetted to Captain.
It rightly took him over a hundred years, after his cowardice at Talavera.

That transition to the desert is genius and worked much better on a huge screen. I remember it was shocking.
It did indeed. I've seen it.

Steven Spielberg agrees
The best transition ever. Brilliant and it conveyed the fire of the match to the fire of the desert.
This is simply the greatest piece of Cinema ever completed. Argue it if you wish, but for those of the generations who appreciate the art evolved, this is it.
I tend to agree. What a cast of true professionals and the cinema photography blows any new production into the weeds. The characters are believable unlike the laughable amateurs of today (some notable exceptions of course) with their asinine dialogue.
Well perhaps not the greatest- that honor belongs to The Seven Samurai but for the most part I agree with you.
Any movie by David Lean is worthy of that. Dr. Zhivago and Bridge over River Keai.
8:06 And here we have one of the greatest transitions on all of Cinema.
I need to watch this movie again.

Omar Sharifs entrance is one of the greatest in cinema
1000% I thought that Omar's acting in this film should have won him an Oscar . He was brilliant
CinemaTyler did a whole video on the BYS of that shot. ❤
"The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts."
only 10min... now i have to go watch it all over again :)
If a movie can hook you in 10 minutes of character-revealing dialogue it means you've not watched it enough of times.
Ich auch
...the transition from blowing out the match to the sunrise across the desert landscape is beyond explanatory words...

Look how short the giant of an actor Claude Rains was. While sitting in that adult-size chair in the meeting with General Murray, his feet barely touch the floor, and only just more than the toes!!!
He looks like dwarf or a little person in that chair
I wonder when Murray figures out Dryden was the one who instigated his removal from command. This meeting is his final downfall. ‘Side show of a side show.’
@@billsmith5109 Murray was a real general of the time, but Dryden is a composite of several real figures, especially Ronald Storrs, an expert on the Middle East who played a significant role in British government policy.
Short perhaps, but he steals every scene he’s in.
Michael Banks:
“He’s a giant??” 😮
The greatest film ever made! I saw it as a kid 60 years ago and saw it again after it was redone in the 1980s in a theatre in Manhattan that was like an indoor drive-in. His face and that lit match were about 60 feet apart. Amazing!
This movie is incredible. On a big screen its WOW!
I had the pleasure of seeing it in theater during its brief, recent rerelease!
@@theoneandonlysoslappy I was lucky enough to live in a city with lots of cinemas, including one that showed a different classic every day during the summer. Lawrence of Arabia was shown every year. Only on a big screen and with a good sound system does this film reveal its full glory. It's a real shame that this summer cinema special is no longer available.
Magnificent. Sweet Jesus.
In the annals of cinema, this is the equivalent of Michelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Today I found out that a colleague's grandfather fought alongside Lawrence. Showed me photos of them together. Mind blown. Also, Lawrence looks much shorter in the photos than the men that surround him, quite the opposite of Peter O'Toole.
'Lawrence!'
'Yes?'
'you go to Arabia!'
Sending Lawrence to Arabia, Lawrence of Arabia
I really like the humor and whimsy in the first part of the movie.
First half of the movie was better than the second half
Far from home, a man with a mission
In the heat of the glistening sun
In the heart of ancient tradition
This man’s journey has only begun
Lead the charge, a raider has entered the battlefield
Sabotage, the game is about to unfold
As the darkness falls and Arabia calls
One man spreads his wings, as the battle begins
May the land lay claim on to Lawrence name
Seven pillars of wisdom lights the flame
A revolt to gain independence
Hide and seek, hunters hot on their trail
Joined their ranks, obtained their acceptance
Side by side raid the Ottoman rail
Lead the charge, Tafilah, Medina, Damascus calls
Sabotage, demolish the bridges to dust
The cut to the desert with the swelling music was awesome.
I must’ve read his biography about 5 or six times and I can confidently say I fell in love with T.E Lawrence. He reassembles the ideal of the warrior philosopher ,that which the greek admire the most.
So you’re saying he was a Greek-style man?
Having read his seven pillars of wisdom I find him somewhat pretentious. A great man to be sure. But pretentious all the same.
Lawrence also happens to be gay and a sadomasochist (this was discovered when he was briefly detained by the Turks where he was flogged with a cane. He recalled later after being set free the indescribable feeling of pleasure he felt while being flogged).
Certainly one of the stranger characters in modern history.
The music is amazing
Maurice Jarre
Jarre won an Oscar for his work on the movie's soundtrack.
@@lyndonanderson2900 Greatest movie score of all time.
O'Toole is amazing.
A majestic film.
0:40 A Lieutenant flexes. 😂
9:31: Brilliant move. He sends a message with everything he does and doesn't do, and he's smart enough to know that, at least in the script.
08:14 is what we all wait for.
Wolfitt and his characters obsessions with principles. (See Beckett as well...)
Great movie, great photography, great actors, great music.
What a shame the film stopped where it did… I was really getting in to it.
Peter O'Toole played my childhood historical hero
pretty well.
4:24 - the general makes a very good point here.
Pretty naive of the British/French to give the Arabs power and then expect them to give it up after the war.
☮
Pretty naive of the Arabs to help the British and French take control of their land from the Turks and then expect them to just go home after the war.
Lawrence: Hey 👋
What a great movie.
The ever amazing Sir lord Peter o toole
If you enjoy the movie and would like to know more of the gentleman and his life, find a copy of "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom", great background to the man and it includes details as to why the "no prisoners" event happened.
His style of writing is so academic as to be almost unreadable. No normal person would tolerate it were it not for the history of the author.
@@Hereford1642 I had no trouble reading it and was thrilled when he pointed out that far more is achievable by courage than by fear. I recall in primary (grade) school learning about fear as a motivator and sensing something missing or wrong in that approach and as a teenager I had worked out what Lawrence pointed out. I was equally thrilled by coming across a Galbraith quote that I had worked out in my early 20s except that Galbraith way of putting it was far more diplomatic than the way I had it worked out. He warned about our inclination, when confronted with the prospect of having to change our minds about something or proving there is no need ,how we usually go straight for the proofs. I had considered it further and come to the conclusion that when people take the “proofs” option they have converted their opinion to their prejudice.
@@Hereford1642 I am glad I am as not normal as Lawrence for in reading his book I found we shared a conviction I developed at high school, the conviction that more can be achieved with courage than fear.
Great film and a stellar cast, also loved O'Toole in Murphy's War
What music !
It's an Oscar-winning music.
I wonder what life would be like if Lawrence did not help the Saudi Arabia
English officer? Dear me, @NowPlaying, T.E. Lawrence was many things but he was certainly not English!
Loved by Weylands synthetics
I cant hear what they are saying.
Fantastic film, but for me Anthony Quinn stole it! He was by far the best actor followed by Alec Guinness and then Jack Hawkins
“. . . Because I am a river to my people!”
O'Toole was 1' bad irishmen
0000000000000000000
This must have been before O'Toole learned how to act.
