The Great Lawrence of Arabia
5 out of 5 stars
The Great Lawrence of Arabia
You will immediately detect an air of reverence in my little film on YouTube 'Unveiling the Great Lawrence of Arabia'. This was not due to my paying $55 for an old film but it is one of my three best movies I have seen in my life. And now one of them has the 4K treatment, I dont have 4K facilities but often the 2K blu ray is improved and it all comes in a steelbook enclosure.First the price was not such a shock as I recently secured a refund on The Mandalorian steelbook just about the same price. The Mandalorian was alright to watch but I could not imagine myself viewing that first series again. There are other comparisons apart from price. Lawrence of Arabia is 3h 46m whilst the Star Wars spin-off is total 3h 20m. I will watch tonight to see if the Intermission is included for Lawrence. Ice creams ready.As the temperature drops on our digital thermometers Lawrence lights a match on our disposable culture. Where these days every character is either good or rancid, here we witness men under fire reacting to events. Lawrence is neither good or bad. Neither set in his way or a wandering soul. He could be the definition of the unreliable narrator except for one thing. They used to call it integrity. A broader view.Aloneness.

    Excellent film, with amazing picture and atmos sound.
    Looks better than most films made in the 2000s.
    Comes on 2 discs, instead of one. So picture quality is kept to the best.
    Audio is great. Remixed for atmos. Wide sound, and good above effects in the plane attack.

    5.0 out of 5 stars No hagiography!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Peter O'Toole plays the tormented, ever so slight effeminate Lawrence well. Omar Sherif is convincing is his role as Lawrence's loyal companion, Sherif Ali ibn el Kharish. The same can be said of the suave Alec Guinness as Prince Faisal. But Anthony Quinn is the true revelation of the movie as Auda abu Tayi. He plays his role so convincingly that even the great David Lean himself was fooled into considering him a native.

    But the focus of the film remains the enigmatic figure of Lawrence. As William Bayer rightly points out, "Throughout the picture one has a sense of a man discovering his own unique dimensions. Lawrence always knew he was different, but in Arabia, he discovered his proportions were heroic." This voyage of self-discovery is fraught with risk; no benign tale of self-improvement in exotic locales here.... In the words of Friedrich Nietzsche, "And if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

    To the film's great credit, it remains steely-eyed in the face of horror: the sadism that Lawrence is a victim of at Daraa, the slaughter of the villagers at Tafas and the "No Prisoners" bloodbath that follows as retribution for the crimes .... If the film is to be judged by the conventional standards of hagiography, it has failed!

    In this way, the film faithfully reflects Lawrence's "novel traveling under the cover of autobiography" to cite Hill's reference to "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom". This is how Lawrence describes the massacre that he participated in: "The Arabs were fighting like devils, the sweat blurring their eyes, dust parching their throats; while the flame of cruelty and revenge which was burning in their bodies so twisted them, that their hands could hardly shoot. By my order we took no prisoners, for the only time in our war. At last we left this stern section behind, and pursued the faster two. They were in panic; and by sunset we had destroyed all but the smallest pieces of them, gaining as and by what they lost. Parties of peasants flowed in on our advance. At first there were five or six to a weapon: then one would win a bayonet, another a sword, a third a pistol. An hour later those who had been on foot would be on donkeys. Afterwards every man had a rifle, and a captured horse. By nightfall the horses were laden, and the rich plain was scattered over with dead men and animals. In a madness born of the horror of Tafas we killed and killed, even blowing in the heads of the fallen and of the animals; as though their death and running blood could slake our agony. Just one group of Arabs, who had not heard our news, took prisoner the last two hundred men of the central section. Their respite was short. I had gone up to learn why it was, not unwilling that this remnant be let live as witnesses of Tallal's price; but a man on the ground behind them screamed something to the Arabs, who with pale faces led me across to see. It was one of us--his thigh shattered. The blood had rushed out over the red soil, and left him dying; but even so he had not been spared. In the fashion of to-day's battle he had been further tormented by bayonets hammered through his shoulder and other leg into the ground, pinning him out like a collected insect. He was fully conscious. When we said, Hassan, who did it?' he drooped his eyes towards the prisoners, huddling together so hopelessly broken. They said nothing in the moments before we opened fire. At last their heap ceased moving; and Hassan was dead; and we mounted again and rode home slowly (home was my carpet three or four hours from us at Sheikh Saad) in the gloom, which felt so chill now that the sun had gone down."

    In a genuine quest for authenticity, amongst the glamorous desertscapes and camel charges led by the great man in flowing white robes, the film also manages to depict the appalling helplessness of the oppressors-turned-victims facing the merciless cruelty of "our man, Lawrence" and his allies. Most unusually, this big budget spectacle horrifies as well as captivates, enthrals and ...yes... uplifts its audiences.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Ray review.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Lawrence of Arabia is one of my all time favourite films and I actually own it on the Lawrence of Arabia - Two Disc Set [DVD]. So when I heard it was coming out on Blue Ray (BR), I pre-ordered it. Well I received it today and words fail me in trying to describe it. In this day and age of special effects, so called block busters and 3D films, here is a film which places them all in the shade. The quality is second to none and this is a film over 50 years old. (Please take note Hollywood) I juxtaposed the BR against the DVD and there simply is no contest, when I purchased the DVD, I presumed I was watching the best there was, how wrong I was. The quality and clarity of the film is instantly apparent from the very first scene. (Which comes in at around the 4.30 min mark) and continues right through to the end. Soundwise I get the impression that Sony have cleared up on that front as well. However I may be simply be still blown away by the visual aspects of the film.

    The film comes in two discs and for some strange reason the film is on Disc 2 (Odds and sods on Disc 1) However there is nothing to tell you exactly which discs hosts the film. The special features on Disc 1 is a pop vox type featurette which displays little snippets of trivia as the film plays in a small window. (Did you know that the music was composed by the father of Jean Michel Jarre, the man behind Oxygene)

    Inside the cassette (Is that the right term for the case?) you find 3 pieces of paper, one an advert for Blue ray classics (Ground hog day a classic?) One for My movie Xtras (complete with code) and something called Ultraviolet (Again with code) which allows you to download the film from the net onto a PC/Tablet or mobile phone.

    Today in the Times they aired a story about how the film industry is suffering a downturn and that one of the reasons why, is the lack of quality films. David Lean using unknown actors as his lead, using no CGI made one of the best films of all time a film which has stood the test of time. Earlier on this year with much anticipation I went to the local picture house to watch 'John Carter' a film of the books I read during the 70s. A film I should add cost $250,000,000. Put it this way it wasn't just the 3D glasses which gave me a headache. In contrast LOA cost $15 million. I don't think many people will be waxing lyrical about 'John Carter in 2062.

    For those of you who have been brought up on a diet of special effects, weak acting and terrible sound tracks which nobody ever remembers,(Never mind whistles) give LOA a shot. At the price it is selling for, it is much more of a bargain than so called blockbusters costing much more. Me, I am most impressed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Meisterwerk von zeitloser Brillanz!
    Reviewed in Germany on 25 September 2014
    Verified Purchase
    David Lean und Sam Spiegel haben wir wohl was einmaliges geschaffen. Ein bildgewaltiges Meisterwerk um den Wstenkrieg in fernen Arabien.

    Der Film wei? zu berzeugen aber hier in dieser Form auch zu verwirren. Nach dem Einlegen erfolgt Staunen, denn auf DVD 1 befindet sich Teil 2 und auf DVD 2 befindet sich Teil 1. Vor dem Start des Filmes wird drauf hingewiesen, dass die Filmmusik ohne Bild abl?uft auf Wunsch des Regisseurs.

    Damit die Musik wirken kann...aha... *wirk*....*wirk*!

    Beim Flugzeugangriff auf das Lager der Araber sind Flugzeuge vom Typ de Havilland D.H. 82 Tiger Moth zu sehen. Dieser Flugzeugtyp wird sehr oft in Filmen benutzt. Interessanterweise gab es dieses Flugzeug zur Zeit des ersten Weltkrieges noch gar nicht. 1931 erhob sich eine Tiger Moth zum ersten Mal in die Lfte also einen guten Zacken sp?ter.

    Peter O Toole sorgte 2008 bei Jay Leno dafr, dass endlich ein wenig Licht ins dunkle Gew?lbe der Filgeschichte kommt. Er gestand dort, dass er und Omar m?chtig Angst vor dem bevorstehenden wilden Ritt hatten und sich zuvor Mut angetrunken hatten. Sp?ter wurde er hoch gelobt fr seinen wild entschlossenen Gesichtsausdruck den er zum Besten gab. Dabei war er nur hacke dicht und zu wie noch was. So sehr kann sich der Zuschauer von der Optik t?uschen lassen.

    Also nach 2 Kasten Bier gucke ich auch wild entschlossen aber nur in Richtung Bett...egal!

    Er konnte wenigstens noch aus eigener Kraft sitzen. Dagegen Omar Sharif lies sich auf dem Pferd fest binden.

    Keine Ahnung was der Regisseur David Lean und der Produzent Sam Siegel hier erschaffen wollten? Als autobiographischer Kriegsbericht geht die Sache nicht durch, wirklich nicht. Es ist eine Glorifizierung des britischen Offizier Thomas Edward Lawrence. Offensichtlich wurde keinerlei gro?artigen Wert darauf gelegt die Schlachten einigerma?en authentisch und realit?tsnah rber zu bringen. Es l?uft irgendwie recht seltsam ab. Die Araber greifen an und die Trken lassen sich teilweise umbringen und der Rest sucht sein Heil in der Flucht.

    Bevor Missverst?ndnisse entstehen, der Film ist grandios und die Schauspieler berzeugen auf ganzer Linie. Nur herrscht ber die 3,5h Laufzeit irgendwie eine seltsame Stimmung. Es ist ein bildgewaltiger Wstenepos gepr?gt von einem derben romantischen Touch. Die englischen Offiziere werden ausnahmslos als sehr arrogant dargestellt. Fr die Araber haben sie nicht sehr viel brig. Die Kommentare sind meist herab lassend und ver?chtlich. Lawrence ist der einzige, der hier komplett irgendwie aus der Art schl?gt. Anfangs wirkt er irgendwie total verschchtert also der richtige Antiheld. Im Laufe des Filmes scheint er langsam aber sicher dem Wahnsinn zu verfallen. Aus dem ruhigen, besonnene Offizier wird ein hasserflltes, gnadenlos t?tendes Etwas das irgendwie immer tiefer in diesen Sumpf aus Gewalt gezogen wird!

    Er scheint auch nicht nirgendwo rein zu passen. Bei seinen eigenen Landsleuten findet er Anfangs keinerlei Beachtung. Sogar nach seinen grandiosen Erfolgen erntet er offen Beachtung und Lob aber hinter seinem Rcken l?stern die sich einen ab.

    Bei den Arabern wird er geachtet und als Held verehrt aber er selbst fhlt sich unter seinen Kampfgenossen wie ein Fremdk?rper. Mag auch daran liegen, dass er st?ndig gute Freunde verliert. Seine Beziehung mit Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif) ist auch nicht gerade das was man als gute Freundschaft bezeichnen kann, denn sie sind st?ndig anderer Meinung. Auch mit Prinz Faisal (Alec Guinness) will er nicht so richtig warm werden. Es scheint grade so als wolle Lawrence beabsichtigt nichts mit Leuten zu tun haben, die einen h?heren Rang haben. Prinz Faisal buhlt regelrecht um seine Freundschaft aber er l?sst ihn einige Male wirklich links liegen als sei er nichts weiter als ein Bettler!

    Die Macher wandeln auf komplett unbekannten Pfaden. Es ist irgendwie nichts wie es normalerweise sein sollte. Das Ende kommt gleich am Anfang. So wei? der Zuschauer vorab schon einmal wie das Abenteuer endet. Es gibt auch seltsamerweise keine einzige weibliche Hauptrolle? Die holde Damenwelt spielt hier nur die dritte Geige passend zum Kulturkreis.

    Der Film ist durchweg negativ gezeichnet und teilweise derb sarkastisch. Es gibt nicht viel Anlass zur Freude. Das Geschehen ist gepr?gt von Machtgehabe und Streitigkeiten. Die Macher des Filmes lassen auch wirklich niemand gut weg kommen. Hier bekommt jeder sein Fett ab so oder so. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen wird voll in die Tiefe Kiste in die Abgrnde des menschlichen Charakter-Mllhaufens gegriffen. Die wenigen Personen von denen man sagen kann, dass sie nett und sympathisch rber kommen sterben wie die Fliegen. Schnell und ohne Hoffnung, dass sie irgendwie davon kommen.

    Sollte wohl so sein. Anklagend gegen die englische Kolonialmacht und gleichzeitig gegen die arabischen St?mme, die sich gegenseitig auch noch spinnefeind gesinnt sind.

    Der Film ist dennoch sehr sehenswert und trotz der Laufl?nge von 3,5h ein kurzweiliges Filmvergngen. Durch die geniale Art und Weise wie es hier serviert wurde kann ich nur anerkennend den Hut ziehen!

    Am Anfang des Filmes war Lawrence nur ein kleines Licht an das niemand glaubte. Er selbst hatte ein hohes, ein sehr hohes fast unerreichbares Ziel gesteckt. Im Laufe des Filmes ver?nderte er sich und wurde zu etwas, dass er niemals sein wollte. Dann war ein Punkt erreicht an dem er selbst nicht mehr an sich glaubte und sein ganzes tun und Schaffen hinter fragte. Perverser weise, genau just in diesem Moment glaubten alle an Lawrence und dr?ngten ihn grade dazu weiter zu machen. Dann als das gro?e Ziel erreicht wurde war es nicht wirklich was erstrebenswertes. Der gro?e Sieg hatte eine ziemlich bitteren Beigeschmack. Dadurch, dass die Macher aber rein gar nichts Gutes haben aufkeimen lassen kann man diesen Film getrost als einen Antikriegsfilm abheften.

    Wage mal zu behaupten nur so war es m?glich diesen Film ber diese Laufl?nge zu wuchten ohne das Langeweile auf kommt. Dadurch geschah nichts vorhersehbares.

    Auch das Wissen aus den Geschichtsbchern kann sich der Zuschauer hier irgendwie an die Backe heften oder sonst wohin. Die Macher legten keinerlei sonderlichen Wert auf irgendwelche l?stigen geschichtlichen Tatsachen. Drfte sich aber irgendwie von selbst verstehen, dass die Araber bestimmt nicht die Trken S?bel rasselnd in die Flucht geschlagen haben. Sie wurden von der britischen Armee sogar mit Maschinengewehren aus gerstet. Von den wirklich Ablauf des Krieges ist hier sehr wenig zu sehen. Keinerlei Gefechte, die aus den Schtzengraben heraus gefhrt werden, sondern wilde Angriffsritte auf Kamele und Pferden mit dem typischen Geschrei und S?bel-Gerassel untermalt. Damit alles sehr heroisch und glorifizierend rber kommt so wie es der Zuschauer auch irgendwie braucht. K?nnte auch das Weltbild zerschmettern, wenn da stattliche Kriegsschiffe auftauchen, die noch die Sache hilfreich untersttzen.

    Also wird die gute alte Schiene ?Brotmesser gegen Kanonen gefahren........YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

    ??? FAZIT: ???

    Bild-und Tonqualit?t gehen in Ordnung. Einige Szenen wurde nicht nach synchronisiert aber egal. Besser als gar nix oder die geschnittene Version. Das Booklet selbst ist toll gemacht und auf 10 Seiten werden Bilder und Infos ber den Film serviert!

    Der Film ist irgendwie zeitlos, denn es geschieht immer wieder und wieder. Offensichtlich ist die Menschheit nicht f?hig und nicht Willens aus der Vergangenheit zu lernen. Es ist immer wieder das gleiche Trauerspiel.

    Das zeigt hier dieser Film eindrucksvoll. Gepr?gt von Machtgier und politischen Kalkl bleibt am Ende nichts mehr brig. In solchen Kriegen gibt es keine Sieger....nur Verlierer.

This movie is Centered Mainly on Mr Lawrence Character played by Peter o toole.The movie is based on a book written by Mr Lawrence "seven pillars of Wisdom" Lawrence is sent by the British to do there dirty work and politics. The film depicts the Lawrence and his experience in Arabia and involvment with Arabian leaders at that time(played by Classic actors like Anthony quinn and omar sharif).Lawrence is torn between different worlds of his Arabian comrade camel riders and British Nationals in the Army.The movie also depicts the Emotional pain and suffering war and taking of decision which involves taking someones life and the Consequence of guilt and suffering.Peter o toole does a wonderful Acting and potrays emotional very strongly and his humanity also.At times the Scorching heat and Struggles makes him take harsh decision and violence but there is still the Human spirit to help others and understand behind the veil of Evil politics and Lust for land and blood.

    Now the Most Extraordinary part in this movie is the CINEMATROGRAPHY!!! By Mr Freddie young! Wonderful shots of sand dunes,windy sands,Camels in a group and Exotic Tents of Arab kings.The movie makes you feel as if your in a Dessert this movie is shot on location in places like jordon and morocco which gives you that authentic 'arabian feel'.Imagine doing a movie like this in a barren desert in todays era...back then there was Hard work and No CGI!! The movie is kind of a journey to a exotic location and shows the Beauty and harshness of the Desert,Scorching heat and Brutal cruel warfares between various arab and turk tribes..It also shows arab culture in a way the bedouins,there dress and Tents.However women Characters arent were strong in this movie just a few portrayals with burkha.Omar sharif is an arab so he suits for this movie and potrays the desire for war and land.IF there is one Reason you should buy this movie its because of the gorgeous landscapes and Visuals. This movie was shot in 65mm film back in the day and still packs a lot of beauty in the film.FILM has lot of potential to preserve details unlike digital cameras which are used nowadays.

    Regarding this BLURAY I got a very Good Discount from the seller in غ India and I am very happy with my purchase Since this is a Classic movie I feel to see it in Bluray is a good idea. Please note that this BLURAY is a Remastered version of the Movie which means they Created a fresh Scan from the original print with adjusting past problems and Colour adjustments. I think they did a Great Job!!! The film looks gorgoeus as ever I remember seeing this in AXN 8 years back but not in HDTV cinema is just more profound for a movie which is shot on 65mm film.So If your buying a Bluray make sure its Brand new remastered version by SONY DADC in India.This movie is still edited the classic way which means Music and "intermission" text are still there like in the 60s

    I have found this David lean movie to be quite good and hope to See other movies by this Director.
    There are some Extra features in the disc which educated viewers on T E Lawrence and his life and movie efforts by the film crew.
    I also watched this movie to pay respect to Sir Peter toole who recently passed away...I wish best for him wherever he is!
