MCT:July 4, 2008TERRIBLE!! Ugh. The most tedious movie ever made. Paint drying is a roller coaster ride compared to this. 3 hours of BORING!!! NO story! No plot! Nothing!! And I find the character wholly unsympathetic. Only some of the acting & the train sequence are even remotely redeemable.

MCT:June 29, 2008Well, I finally saw it. A classic of cinema. For the most part, it was everything I hoped it would be. I have to say that Sir Alec Guiness and Omar Shariff are two of the greatest actors - ever. Lean is clearly at the top of his game. The staging of some of the battle scenes was simply impressive. You can tell that Lean used to be an editor. The film itself was a bit long and the tone was a bit sterile, but all in all, this is cinema.

An epic in every sense of the word. Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif and Alec Guinness are superb in director David Lean's superb telling of the story of T.E. Lawrence.

I saw this on the big screen in a revival. To see it any other way would be heresy, truly. Peter O'Toole breaks your heart with his eyes. You've never seen eyes like that, forget Liz Taylor. That intensity, that impossible Technicolor blue, glowing like they're on fire, or have neon behind them. I remember one scene in particular, in the movie theater when one look O'Toole gave made me cry inexplicably. I've read this is one of the last films to be shot in 70mm, (whereas many others were shot in 35mm and increased to 70mm to fit the screen), and it shows on each sparse, gorgeous frame. I once gave my former film teacher a L of A poster I'd found somewhere. It was an old one advertising the release on video. It was mostly made up of a long shot from the film, a battle of of horses and desert and blazing orange sky. It was the most curious advertisement for a video release ever - the poster itself was longer than it was tall, sort of recreating the ratio you'd get in a theater. It stood as proof watching the film on video was a terrible idea. It was an irony not lost on Ms. Carrick. I'm sure there are some who will find it antiquated, (somewhat excusable since it was a historical epic) but I defy anyone to call it beautiful, to call it anything less than the definition of "epic."
