The greatest epic film ever made. No one composed shots for the widescreen like David Lean. Glad I got to see it from the balcony on a really big screen in an old-fashioned movie palace. An overpowering experience.
agreed! where did you see it?
@@martinmages1946 At the now shuttered Uptown theater in Washington, D.C.
If I had the choice to keep only one film in the world, it would be this one.
@@Danleesixoneonetwofive Kinda gives short shrift to women, 'cause there's hardly any in the movie, but if we're talking about pure artistry and the overpowering experience that film can be, I'm with you there. It's awesome.
@elTigre877In terms of film making, acting, editing, cinematography, soundtrack. It’s a top film ever made. For the movie theater.
Only Sir David Lean could make cleaning a motorcycle look epic.
Among the best movies ever made in my opinion
The best
It's in my top ten.
Steven Spielberg agrees with you, so you’re in good company.
A legendary movie
One of the all time best epics ever. The triumph of this film is that it never loses a grip on what its really about. Which is the withering of the main character until his experience in the desert overwhelms him. The last two scenes are simply superb in epitomizing that idea.
What a fantastic musical score as well.
love this opening sequence.david lean was a genius
what is importance of bike in ending scene
Also Roberto Bolt
Partially shot in Almeria Spain and at in Chobham, while the accident really happened near Bovington Camp, Wareham in Dorset. 🧐
That list of the best British actors of the day and then it says:
"Introducing Peter O'Toole"
Some introduction.....
like Micheal Caine's in Zulu
"It seems to be the fate of idealists to obtain what they have struggled for in a form which destroys their ideals." -Bertrand Russel
Perfectly summed up his life
Good quote: Sums up Lawerence brilliantly. History is a continuum and WW1 is a small part of the long story of the Middle East. Yet it is a vital period to understand if we are to make sense of what is currently transpiring there.
The immortal Claude Rains and Peter O'Toole. Splendid.
The 4k remaster of this film for the Columbia Classics collection is outstanding. I hope there is a Columbia Classics volume 2 in the future with Easy Rider, Guns of Navarone and some of the other classic Columbia films.
i wish there was a way to buy this film in 4k without having to buy the collection
They really did the most amazing job on the 4k remaster and took such care of it
50t
A true cinema masterpiece. If you ever get a chance to see this in a theater. You won’t regret it.
Really hope i see it in theaters before i die
I watched this movie at least 7 times in 2 months and I could watch it again and again
Read the 1188 pages hardcover version of " The Authorized Biography of T E Lawrence " by Jeremy Wilson ... what a leadership Thomas Edward had....
This movie is so damn good, every time I think about it I smile. Just watched it 3 days ago and going to rewatch it again soon
"The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts."
That line is especially great because when you think about Lawrence’s background and his inability to fit in with the British, it becomes clear that this assertion is actually his survival mantra and he’s talking about much more than just the physical pain of a match flame. And this mantra is put to the test by the losses and trauma he suffers while in Arabia.
....Agreed!...But this particular scene with the match trick affects me personally and deeply due to the fact that my own Grandfather used to perform that very same trick for us by snuffing out the flame of a match just after he lit his ageless tobacco pipe. We were only little children then,but we were absolutely amazed by the fact that he could do it so effortlessly!... I miss him dearly...But...I have a feeling that I will see him again...
G-d willing...I will indeed, see him again....shalom 🕎🔥🕎
I just watched the movie for the first time and must say it was excellent. 👍👍
I love your understated appreciation here. It's fucking brilliant man...
the shots are amazing and ahead of its time for 1962
Ahead of its time? Compared to the rubbish of today which could be considered behind the times in that regard
This is the greatest motion picture ever
The King of Epics
Bravo David Lean
Masterpiece they just don’t make movies like this anymore
I will.
This move was based on a real story
There's still good stuff made today you just have to know where to look and avoid the propaganda
@@samhenson8177 please
@@samhenson8177 do it
One of the best movie of all time
Love how the opening shot is composed so that the pavement serves as a perfect backdrop for the credits.
This is one of the best intros to an epic in the history of cinema.
I wish i had like Massive TV just to watch this movie on repeat
what is importance of bike in ending scene
@@albertnewton750 Forshadowing his own death in 1935 at the age of 46.
Sit closer
A perfect memory of our good young days with a most excellent film.
One of my top films of all time. Unfashionable as hell these days. The postcolonial gurus in universities have a field day with Lawrence as The Great White Saviour. To my mind, it's a masterpiece and stuff the politics.
I would love to watch them try explaining that to Emir Faisal. Imagine being a fly on the wall for that conversation.
not to be one of those postcolonial gurus but a movie about t e lawrence is inherently political you absolute numbnut
Best movie of all time!
the masterpiece.
Doctor Jivago is also a masterpiece. In the film " Swimming with sharks ", a big boss of Hollywood studio said that it should not be said that David Lean was dead, but he is unavailable.
straight away compelling watching, and it remains so for 227 mins
Still hurts that the academy didn’t give the BEST ACTOR award to Mr. Peter O’Toole. Looking back, there is no one else who could’ve done justice to the role. Hence full credit to Sir David Lean for having selected him for this epic.
This is still a benchmark movie for anyone aspiring to be an actor or director or other movie fields.
Masterpiece ✨
Wow a Brough Superior ! What a machine ! T.E loved motorcycles ....A Legend riding a Legend .
The machine used in the film was woefully incorrect. The registration number UL656 was not the Brough involved in the accident (although TEL had owned one with that number). That was GW2275 and it survives in private ownership. The Brough in the film was a non-original "special" which had once been used for racing and bore only a passing resemblance to a standard Brough Superior Black Alpine Grand Sport SS100 which was his last machine. It had a smaller than standard rear wheel to accommodate Lawrence`s smaller stature. At the time of his death TEL had an eighth SS100 on order from the works and his special stainless steel petrol tank had been delivered to the factory at Haydn Road, Nottingham for fitting to the motorcycle under construction. Thus the tank on the "accident" machine was a temporary "slave" item on loan from George Brough. TEL`s brother, Professor Arnold Lawrence, returned the slightly damaged accident machine to George Brough who claimed that he would keep it as a memorial to TEL. However, he soon sold it on to a London opthalmic surgeon who found to his dismay that the rear cylinder of the JAP V-twin was prone to oiling its plug in slow London traffic. He sold it in 1939 and bought a new BMW. The Brough was discovered in the early 1960`s attached to a sidecar in neglected condition and purchased for a paltry sum. It is now, rightly, the most valuable motorcycle in the world.
6:55 my favourite line in the movie
My favorite was the following: " Nothing is written."
I could see Ralph Fiennes playing this sort of character. But no one would dare remake Lawrence of Arabia, nor should they, but that's a casting suggestion if they do.
Michael B Jordan.
Don't give them any ideas
Too old and not mad enough. He played old Lawrence like 30 years ago.
@@Merdicano :D
Ralph Fiennes actually did play Lawrence in a made for TV version of the film
The acting is untouchable throughout
I hope this means we’re getting a stand-alone release? ? I would buy this instantly on 4K Blu-ray
"I can't make out whether your a bloody mad man or just half witted." "I have the same problem sir." "Shut up!"
Dam!, got so involved that I forgot it was only the first 10 minutes!
I thought was the first ten minutes was just music lol
That was an old technique used by epics in the 50s and 60s. It’s purpose was to extend the runtime to classify it as an actual epic movie
Bubblegum Notgay Also, to make sure the audience STFU before the opening credits roll.
Actually it’s only four minutes of just music, and what a great four minutes they are!
It's just four minutes
Lol
It's awesome movie
Magnificent score...
I still can’t get over how cameras at this generation could produce something like this. There won’t be anything like it again.
Cameras of the 1920s were already producing images beyond compare. It depends on whether you can get a proper early generation print or restoration of same, or not.
For some reason I love the opening motorcycle sequence. Maybe because everything is so green and then it’s desert sand color for the next 3+ hours!
"You have much to learn, and I will show you the ways of the desert. Come with me!"
-Jamis
The thing about the funeral scene that especially hurts is that there is no Arab to be found there. Not even Ali, with whom Lawrence developed the closest relationship in the whole film. It makes me wonder, where was Ali? Had he already died by this point? You’d think if he was alive, he’d want to pay his respects to Lawrence, who he loved so much. His saddened reaction would’ve been a great contrast to the indifference of the British attendees.
Edit: I know Ali wasn’t a real person; I was referring to the film’s fictionalized world. Brighton and Bentley weren’t real people either, yet they are present at the film’s portrait of the funeral.
Ali wasn’t a real person, he was a composite character.
Faisal was a real person, and became King of Syria then Iraq. He died in 1933, two years before Lawrence.
No one can touch the music in this movie !!
Brilliant, this and Schindler's List are tied in first place for the films that have had the greatest impact on me.
"The trick is not minding that it hurts..." brilliant.
So absorbing already. I'm off to watch the whole thing again!
By the oil stains in the concrete, it's very clear Lawrence parked his Brough Superior always in the same spot :)
Cheers
I saw it once in the original wide screen from one of the few 70 mm copies. That was unforgettable. A friend of mine got hold of it and of a special projector back at the university and he organised an event in a local cinema. The only time that I saw the desert like this was when we were actually in a real sand desert.
Lucky you...😎
Can someone explain to me why they don’t make movies like this anymore
General Public’s changed in terms of film likes I guess
because its cheaper to make everything in front of green screen
people dont watch films like this anymore lol
General deterioration of the culture.
Hyper capitalism and cultural degeneration.
This is one of my go to movies.
Love from pakistan♥️
Being too short, TE Lawrence first worked as a civilian for the War department and later became a 2nd Lt-Interpreter. As Turkey entered the war, Capt Newcombe and Lt TE Lawrence got a post in Cairo - Egypt. By that time TE spoke fluent French and Arabic, having very good knowledge of Syria & Sinai desert as he had joined a 6-weeks long mapping survey in December 1913 - January 1914. The Cairo HQ scene is certainly based on TE Lawrence 29th September 1915 letter in which he described how every morning the newspaper came from Alexandria, a very useful source for his daily Intel bulletin ! Big things have small beginnings... 🧐
"It has been recognized, you have a funny sense of fun."
The greatest epic flick ever made
Winston Churchill said we will Never see his like again..... He had total respect from the Great man. 🇬🇧
I am Turkish. In 1900, my grandfather served in the military in Yemen for 5 years. We Turks have fought from front to front for the Ummah for 1000 years. But now the situation has changed. We don't have a drop of blood to shed for traitors. They have lawrence
In a 3 hours movie that is epic all the way the funeral scene is possibly the best of all 😀
I don't know why Lawrence of Arabia suddenly showed up as a "You Gotta
See This!" but I'm glad it did. Btw, Peter O'Toole is one Fine Looking Man.
😍 ☺️
Yes, when he was picked to play this role he was plucked from virtual obscurity and he did a damn fine job. No one can ever imagine someone else playing Lawrence. He certainly was a fine looking young man with the blonde hair and piercing blue eyes.
The greatest movie ever made ..,pinnacle of hollywood
David Lean was such an amazing director
I have travelled the road and stood on the spot where the accident took place. As a motorcyclist myself I was astounded that an experienced rider like Lawrence would crash there . Mostly straight road with good visibility.
masterpiece
Me every time i go to the garage to get my motorcycle i hear this song in my head
The lighting of scenes ❤
Olha só a imagem desse filme de 1963 parece ser um filme recente
The newspaper that he’s reading at 8:10 Is called “Egypts/Egypt/Egyptian Star,” “Star Egypt,” or “Star of Egypt.”
Maravillosa película "Lawrence de Arabia"👍💖
My lord does this look crisp and.... bold.
Does anybody know the location of the driveway with white gates he rides out of at the start?
I'm not sure where they filmed it but yesterday, I visited Lawrence's former house (or what's left of it) which is in a place called Bovington Camp in Dorset. The house is called Cloud's Hill. It has a large gravel drive but nothing like in the film. Just about 5 mins drive is a tree and stone memorial where Lawrence crashed. It's right alongside the army Tank practice ranges.
Later, I went to Lawrence's grave, which is in the village of Moreton, also Dorset. Really fascinating and especially to see Lawrence's motorbike shed. Sadly, because of Covid it was closed to the public, but I climbed over the fence and took a couple of photos lol. I thought Lawrence would approve. Apparently his belongings are there, so when it reopens I plan to go again.
Scorsese talked about the bizarre cyclical nature of the opening and closing scenes.
It’s like the ending segways into this first scene…. so when the movie ends it’s like it starts over.
Can’t think of too many movies like that besides Memento.
Best!!!!
Powerful. Laurence ; " We do not this work for fayçal ". Auda ; " how ! for the English then ? ". Laurence ; " for the Arabs ! ". Auda : "Arabs ? The Howeitat, Ageli, Ruela, Beni Shakr, these I knew, I have even heard The Haris. But the Arabs what tribe is that ? "
FEISAL
I love that first shot
I want to see this masterpiece! 🤩
Those broughs were superior 🏍 🇬🇧
The most thrilling opening of any movie I can think of.
You guys should have shown the middle 10 mins of this film.
This was posted 3 weeks ago, it takes time.
Or the 3rd, 9th, 11th, 16th, 19th, and 21st 10 minute segment as well.
Must have watched this a dozen times 30 years ago on Laserdisc.
Hey sony. Do short circuit the first 10 minutes of the film
A GREAT movie, and to add to it , it was a TRUE real life story that actually happened in real life in WW1 which makes it the greatest of most movies, terrible shame he died young, he should have got a knighthood, I surprised he did not, he went beyond the call of duty.
He doesn't want any kind of honor, he just wanna free the Arabs
This version in the video looks way better than the netflix "restored" version
I hope one year later, 60 anniversary of this film, we'll get 4K remastered collectors edition.
So this is where Joseph Joestar learned how to ride a camel
As Steven Spielberg described it "a miracle of a film"
He was on his way to a peace rally in London when the 'accident' occurred. The only witness to see the accident was a boy: this was not allowed by certain to divulge what he saw- he underwent some kind of de- debriefing.
By some mysterious individuals
Gotta rewatch this scene after you finish the movie, comedy
The Lawrence of this scene would not recognize the Lawrence of the final scene. The power of a character arc.
9:20 great quote
4:38 I love the gentleman that corrects Bentley and puts him in his place.
All that time prepping it and he doesn't even let it warm up
"I have the same problem, sir..."😂
Lawrence should have known there could be children riding bicycles on the road and should have slowed accordingly.
Recently on an emergent medical transport, (red lightsiren), I slowed in case of deer beyond the rise.
Cresting the hill, much of a herd was on the highway. As I passed at 5 mph, a doe turned and ran into the back of themergencyehicle. Her fur brushed off some road grime and she fell. She got up, uninjured.
The story behind His death was a cover up multiple witnesses were told to keep their mouth shut about a supposed black van that cut him off.
@@thomasmccann3679 Why would they keep quiet?
@Fredrick Frederickson I also ride. (Kawasaki 650). One must realize what problems could be ahead and ride accordingly.
On a wide-open vacant stretch of an Interstate Highway out in the eastern plains, I attained 130 mph. The greatest risk would be a tire failure, but I had good tires.
So jarring the way it flashes back at 5:00, makes you think the movie will be like Citizen Kane going back and forth in time.
And nope, we just star with Lawrence for the duration. 😄
This is actually not the first 10 minutes. There is 10 minutes of a blank screen prior to this.
should have included the 4 minutes of black screen in the beginning
The first ten after the first five:))
You know TE Lawrence got to the afterlife moments after flying off that bike and said “Are you fucking KIDDING ME?!?” 🤣
Just bought this movie and was wondering why the first 4:30 seconds are all black with just music, is this normal?
It was a sort of custom of movies back then to do that. Space Odyssey does the same thing
