Customer Reviews

Lawrence of Arabia

Lawrence of Arabia (1962) is one movie that you never get tired of rewatching. This film is based on the writings of T.E. Lawrence (a close friend of Virginia Woolf). I have to confess I have not read any of his writings at the time of this review. This is the story of a British officer who led the Arab armies against the Turks in the Middle East during World War I from 1915 to 1918. However, the film itself is anything but basic. It is one of the classics of our time. As the media gets better, this film has been remastered and given the Blu-ray treatment. It may one day be a candidate for 4K. However, you will be so impressed with this film that the presentation media, whether Blu-ray discs or streaming, that the technical adjustments will be negligible to your viewing pleasure. I will not go into too much detail about the story, as it is possible someone has not seen this film before. The basic story is about a British officer who sees past the varied politics of the time and is able to find unique ways to help the Arabs create their own homeland, whether they want it or not. However interesting the story is, what makes this film unique is the stable of star actors, including, of course, Peter O'Toole, and extraordinary cinematography. The underlying music will stay with you for years. Many people have unique values as to what they would like to see in a movie. For me, this film was excellent. I would suggest that no matter what your preference, you do not pass up the chance to see “Lawrence of Arabia”. Read about the real thing, “Lawrence of Arabia: The Authorized Biography of T.E. Lawrence”

A classic

There are no special features, but the movie is a classic that stands on its own. Great image and sound, an epic story, and iconic performances from several great actors.
