Quite simply, the most magnificent piece of cinema history. No matter how many times I have watched it over the years, I'm drawn in and captivated by the brilliance of this masterpiece.
This movie has to be seen on a wide screen in a movie hall. Simply mesmerizing! Had accompanied my father when I was 7 years old way back in the early sixties, and I was transfixed. Overused phrase, but, yes, they don't make movies like this anymore.
yes, that's true, saw at the newly refurbished (with Dolby surround-sound speakers) Bedford Playhouse in Westchester NY several year ago, at a special screening introduced by Mr. Robert A.Harris, who helped edit the restored version in 1989, and a lively Q & A after. That was a never to be equaled experience!
Superb cinematography. One of the best male performances on film, a director who went far beyond what everyone else was doing. AND...that haunting score! What a film.
T.E. Lawrence wrote in his Seven Pillars of an encounter with an arab lady who was mesmerized by his blue eyes, it was something about how his blue eyes meant she was basically looking straight into paradise or heaven from Earth and he was some kind of angel. So, blue eyes, important!
It's an important feature that all women like the most when first meeting someone! The smile that goes with it is the sprinkles on the Ice cream cone. I have had women walk close to me just to gaze into them to see what color they were. Very aggressively I might add. They were not shy at all. Women of different cultures who were curious, some who were intrigued, not in a sexual sense, but because they were like the moth that flies around the flame of desire! And yes! Some men feel a woman's eyes are her best features as well.
This movie made me fall in love with deserts. Some of the best scenes in this movie - - In the beginning when Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) is on his bike with his glasses, he looks very dashing and dapper. - Night sky of the stars and the moon when Lawrence is conversing with the 1st Bedouin. - Desert landscapes en route during Lawrence's journey to meet Prince Faisal. - Omar Sharif's (Sharif Ali) entry from afar. - Lawrence's sharp, sand covered face when observing Ali (Omar Sharif) approaching his well. - Lawrence reaching Wadi Safra and singing and hearing his echoes, with planes flying overhead and dropping bombs. - Lawrence's conversation in the tent with Prince Faisal. - Lawrence in deep think mode on the sands and his two helpers waiting patiently with him. - Lawrence rescuing Gasim (the man who got left behind) and meeting his helper - two camels approaching each other. - Lawrence in the white Arabic dress that was gifted to him & him trying to enact the gestures and mannerisms of a local, when alone. - Lawrence shooting Gasim dead. - Lawrence on the Aqaba beach after its capture. - Lawrence back in Cairo with his helper & demanding lemonade at the British Cantonment. - Scenes of the khamsin (desert storm, swirling winds) at various points in the movie.
The life of this magnificent film is another story of true excellence. From it's production and initial release to its photo-optical restoration by Robert Harris to the exquisite work of Sony Pictures to digitally restore and preserve it for all time. This film today looks BETTER than it did in '62. Future generations will now be able to experience the grandeur of that roadshow presentation in all its glory. We and they are most fortunate.
I can still remember the day, when I watched the film, I was then just a kindergarten student, in early 70's. But until then, I am scared of Sands, wheather it it is a seashore or riverside.
I was fortunate to see LOA on the wide screen with the amazing theater sound system back in 1963. I never forgot the experience. The visuals of the Wadi Rum were amazing. It took about 18 months to shoot it on Super Panavision 65mm film. The score is perfect. One of the most striking scenes was when they reached the Suez Canal. What you see first is half of an ocean vessel above the sand. And you think, "What the heck? What is going on?" Just great stuff.
I first saw it as a very young teenager i On the big screen. I was completely blown away by the visual beauty, grandness of the entire movie that included the beautiful scenes, characters, immense size of the the desert and vastness brought together by the brilliant Sir David Lean with such brilliant storytelling! I was amazed and smitten with this creation of a great person performed by some of the greatest actors of all time. I have seen it over and over again and with my two sons who actually stayed glued to the television screen the entire time. It’s beyond amazing! ❤❤ It’s a testament to filmmaking and has stood the test of time.
Devastatingly handsome with his piercing eyes, fair hair, and flowing Arab robes, O'Toole was apparently once told by the playwright Noel Coward: "If you had been any prettier, it would have been Florence of Arabia."
I first saw this film on the big screen in 1989, when a restored version of the film was released. it remains one of my greatest cinema going experiences to this day.
You can't beat David Lean. My favorite is the transition where Lawrence blows out the match, except in the film the cut is different from what you have here. "Take it from me, Lawrence, only two kinds of creature get fun in the desert: Bedouins and gods, and you're neither. To most people it's a burning, fiery furnace." "No, Dryden, it's going to be fun." He blows out the match, and it cuts to a flaming sunrise in the desert. Probably the best transition in cinema...EVER. Thanks for bringing these films to attention. Some people are in for an astonishing treat if they decide to view them in their entirety.
David Lean certainly knew how to make films that stood the test of time, this along with his other masterpiece, ‘The Bridge Over The River Kwai’, still rates in my top 10
I was a teenage boy when this movie came to town. In a vast cinema it was magnificent. The vision and the sound reverberated within my soul. I have, and will never forget, this wonderful movie. I love Peter O'Toole. I suspect that the makers of Dune knows how I feel, and that would be right with me.
I first watched this as an eleven year old, in a huge old Picture Palace in Brighton. A hot August afternoon, with nothing to do, and I was packed off to see this. I went in knowing nothing, but came out afterwards totally transfixed. It was a magical experience, seeing this as it should be, in 70mm, in that huge old cinema which is now long gone. I've watched it so many times since, and it just doesn't diminish in the slightest.
The good old time when watching a movie at a cinema meat REAL pleasure ! Unfortunatly, we are unable to make such great movies anymore, thus don't be surprised by the growing lack of interest from the audience for the cinema today !
I too just Finished watching it Again. Must of been the Tenth time over Forty years or Better. Can't Help but STILL Love it, Amazed by it, & can't fully Describe my reaction too it? Didn't say it Earlier, cuz I forgot too. But what a Cast? Outstanding so Many Talented Actor's, other than Peter O Toole, the Great Omar Sharif, and of Course Anthony Quinn, plus the British Army Characters, so Many to Name I won't. And then Mr Bentley the American Reporter,❔❓actors Name 🤔 🤔 & Pince Fisali's Character was Played by Alec Guinness. So Many that thier Faces Left an Imprint of Permanence on the Mind for Decades after. Alas I can't Think or Say More about it? Other than it was. MAGNIFICENT & COLOSSAL.
I was a teenager when this film was released . A friend of mine took a date to this movie and when I asked him for a review he told me it was boring 3 hours of watching a guy ride a camel. I never saw the film for myself until years later and was blown away at the brilliance of the film .regret not having seen it on the big screen
Please read Michael Korda's "Hero" about the life of T.E. Lawrence (aka Mr. Ross, Mr. Shaw). Fascinating and in depth biography, hard to put down. The man was a polymath and such a different character in so many ways. I lucked out and found the hardback at my local library on the "sale/discard" shelf in mint condition for a dollar. I just finished reading it and will pass it on to my best friend who I saw the movie with when LOA came out.
Неужели фильм создан в Голливуде? Даже не верится! Надо обязательно посмотреть! Спасибо за подсказку! Респект автору ролика за любовь к классике и великим актерам золотого века Голливуда!🎉🎉🎉
o calor era tão grande na Arábia Saudita que as câmeras tinham que ser protegidas. quando o filme terminou, o ator Peter O'Toole declarou 'o filme infernal acabou" (the blood movie is over)... Ganho 7 Oscars incluindo melhor filme e melhor musica. Tenho em blu-ray, e tb o CD da trilha sonora de Maurice Jarre.
To be really honest .... I'm not a great fan of Freddie Francis' lighting - some shots look a bit unnatural - especially the night scenes. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like with Jack Cardiff as cinematographer instead !
Irish english-blond peter o'toole was one of handomest men about silver screen (And because he was famous)but he had especially gorgeous vocal.timbre (even if because he estudied diction,of course)but too much alcohl ruined early his good looka
They simply don't make great movies like this anymore. The "art" of filmmaking has been replaced by CGI and digital bs. I hate today's movies. The plots are so empty and the movies look so fake. Soundtracks are bad too. Give me classics anyday.
Gli aerei senza carburante cioè petrolio si fermano e se si ferma un aereo viene giù è un guaio mortale perché un aereo non può fermarsi mai se su ferma cade e muoiono tutti e anche per volare sopra le montagne deve salire molto in quota e questo si ottiene con un enorme dispendio di carburante guai se non cu fosse
Poiché solo Dio è padrone del nostro destino in ogni caso anche se Dio ama i giusti non gli empi e i vili e i bugiardi e i traditori no Dio ama i giusti e gli onesti e chi ha rispetto della vita degli altri e di se stesso e delle leggi del suo paese come è giusto che sia io sono nulla un umile serva di Dio come tutti a questo mondo ho solo delle piccole parole ma sono sinceramente a favore della Palestina e del suo popolo e dei suoi rappresentanti che danno tutto per la salvezza e la libertà del proprio grande Popolo della Palestina Popolo che sta ingiustamente soffrendo ma Dio ama chi vive per la sia libertà chi combatte per la sua gente e la libertà contro l'oppressore siate Forti palestinesi ma più di tutto siate furbi usate l astuzia coraggio ma prima di tutto siate furbi usate l astuzia e la freddezza del calcolo del calcolo a vostro favore
Both Dr. Zhivago &
Laurence of Arabia-
2 of the greatest movies ever made.
Nothing today even
compared!!!
Quite simply, the most magnificent piece of cinema history. No matter how many times I have watched it over the years, I'm drawn in and captivated by the brilliance of this masterpiece.
That's right 👍
It’s enhanced by the beautiful music
Just watched it 2 days ago matter of fact, for probably about the 100th time.
Likewise.

Fortunately we now have 75" TVs for wide screen movies.
Exactly!!
Probably the best film ever made. Truly stunning a beautiful work of art. The scale of this film is of the planet 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You're absolutely right
One of the most beautiful musical scores ever composed
Absolutely agree.
Superb cinematography. One of the best male performances on film, a director who went far beyond what everyone else was doing. AND...that haunting score! What a film.
The most beautiful things in that film were O'Toole's eyes. He could do more with one glance than most actors do in a life time.
Well in my opinion Paul Newman & O'toole had the most magnificent blue eyes
@@oFoTcN1975 Yup. They could make you stop in your tracks.

That's right dude
A masterpiece by a master. RIP Sir David Lean.
I've just watched it again and it's as brilliant now as the first time.Cinema doesn't get any better than this.
Yes buddy
I love the remake of DUNE by Dennis Villeneuve
Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif, and Anthony Quinn - the magnificent trio! But other actors match them!
Another masterpiece from David Lean.

Hermosa película interesante lugares hermoso musica increíble historia interesante todo exelente
The heavens made Peter Davis, Omar, give us a once-in-a-lifetime glorious people.
Although of course, O'Toole was far too tall, he superbly portrayed Lawrence's inner vanity which was an essential part of the character.
👌
David Lean mad many movies:
each was a masterpiece.
Yes
لورانس العرب
دكتور زيفاجو
الطريق إلي الهند
ديفيد لين مخرج عبقري
Each IS a masterpiece
You can't beat David Lean.
My favorite is the transition where Lawrence blows out the match, except in the film the cut is different from what you have here.
"Take it from me,
Lawrence, only two kinds of creature get fun in the desert: Bedouins and gods, and you're neither. To most people it's a burning, fiery furnace."
"No, Dryden, it's going to be fun."
He blows out the match, and it cuts to a flaming sunrise in the desert. Probably the best transition in cinema...EVER.

Certainement le plus beau et le mieux réalisé de tous les films de l'histoire du cinéma !
超傑作。映画の中の映画。人類の宝。
I first watched this as an eleven year old, in a huge old Picture Palace in Brighton. A hot August afternoon, with nothing to do, and I was packed off to see this.
I went in knowing nothing, but came out afterwards totally transfixed. It was a magical experience, seeing this as it should be, in 70mm, in that huge old cinema which is now long gone.

They Best Film ando Actor of they World❤😂🎉😊
They don’t make movies like they do in the 60s and 70s anymore. Movies like this is now considered art work.
Le plus grand chef d’œuvre de David Lean avec Docteur Jivago !

Oh 👍
J'ai vu ce film par hasard à Paris,en 1965 j'étais étonné de la grandeur de ce film, impressionne,pour moi le plus grand film de tous les temps.
若い時の オマー シャリフは 精悍で ピーター オトウールと 共に 美しい。素晴らしい作品でした。もう 半世紀たつのに 感動は新しい！
Wonderful film.
Great movie. I’ll watch it again & again & again. About every 16 to 18 months.
Hollywood no longer has this type of skill. Glad I was able to experience this film. I have lost interest in film now. I have seen the Best.
