Watched Lawrence of Arabia yesterday

haha more like...Lawrence of Gayrabia amirite haha?

I’ve never seen it. Y’all trolling or it’s actually watchable? I really don’t like many old movies. The acting is usually over the top and I hate the cadence of the dialogue usually

Watch Lawrence Of Arabia 2

youtube.com/watch?v=uE0DBpw09SU

It's the highest form of kino ever achieved

That's what Spielberg said. Then he saw The Godfather 4 times in 5 days when it was released in theaters.

If I might suggest something for Yea Forums to read, there's a great book on the whole period of WW1 Middle Eastern politics called Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Middle East . Also in real life Lawrence was 5,5.

I think everyone can agree that real life isn't the same as the romanticised version on film.

Fuck off

I've seen it, really good but doesn't compare to me.

> tfw you realise Arabia is the only place Lawrence felt truly at home at and during the war he felt everything he loved stripped away tot he degree that he went back to England when the war was over, feeling empty for the rest of his life, dying without being understood by anyone

Genuinely the biggest surprise was how fucking depressing this movie was.

Lawrence of Arabia has a 9.26 average, Black Panther is lower. Can't you people read?

I’m joking about the sequel OP. Don’t watch it. it sucks

what format did you watch it on zoom zoom? 99% chance it was on your laptopt so you havent actually watched it

>Lawrence driving to his ship with tears in his eyes
>not belonging in Arabia and not belonging in England
>accomplishing everything a man ever could but still feeling empty and discarded
>leaving generals and politicians behind to destroy his legacy

Hold me lads...

My 27 inch IPS monitor.

>durr durr monitor bad

It was good enough, would I watch it in 70mm if I could? Yes, but I couldn't.

Also watching movies on a good quality/size monitor is much better than on a tv.

>Y’all
>I really don’t like many old movies
die zoomer wigger

what was the rip res and bitrate?

It was the 4k remastered bluray rip.

All I can say is that it was very sharp.

Now you shitpost on Yea Forums. Protip: roberts is the best

anyone else feel like they shouldnt show his death at the beginning? The whole "dying uneventfully and nobody knowing who he was" thing would be more impactful after seeing what he went through imo. Also the actual ending felt kind of lackluster.

Based. I'd recommend the following two after seeing LOA - depending on what you want.

>The Bridge Over The River Kwai
If you enjoyed David Lean's directing, and grandiose style.

>Ran
If you enjoyed the historical aspect of LOA, but also want something with some epic Shakespearean drama.

>dying uneventfully and nobody knowing who he was
What the fuck are you talking about? we're literally watching a movie about him

Such is the tragedy of Muad'Dib

FPBP

UNDERRATED

I meant the people at the funeral not the viewers

>The Bridge Over The River Kwai
Watched it the day before I watched Lawrence of Arabia.
>What have I done?

>Ran
Watched it a few years ago and loved it.

what about dr zhivago?

I think it works the way it was made. They show him buried at St. Paul's Cathedral, a place where only the greatest of men go to rest. The priest asking if he truly deserves to be here is an incredible line, you would laugh at this man if he said it after the film showing you what Lawrence went through to rest there.

It also adds replay value, because all the men asked who he was appear later in the movie. If you watch the film a second time you'll instantly recognise the general, or the journalist. It also sets up the theme that no one really knew the man, even Lawrence's best man (Omar Sharif's character didn't get him).

I haven't decided if I should watch the movie or read the book.

it have any interesting plot or is like barry lyndon style, a man wandering in beautiful places and great cinematography?

Spielberg said it was the best screenplay of all time, so figure it out.

that only make me doubt more.
I been postponing this for so many years, I just have to sit and watch it.
Im the only only that have problem with clasic movies that are not super clear with the plot? Happened the same with apocalypse now and ended loving it.

LoA is just SJW plotless droll.

Posting some british imperialism kino

It allows the film to be bookended by melancholy. You know he dies stupidly, and no one understood him. Then you see his amazing life in the desert. Then he's taken back to England depressed, and you already know what will happen.

How is it sjw when it tells the audience Arabs can only rely on whites for them to get anywhere as a people

God that movie's so fucking good too

I want to do a marathon of TMWWBK, Lawrence of Arabia, and Zulu

I wouldn't call it super tight, but it's very clear, emotionally complex with very strong characters. It is an epic, but it's not as silly or melodramatic as something like Ben Hur, and the characters feel very human.

THE SON OF GOD GOES FORTH TO WAR A KINGLY CROWN TO GAIN

>Now what? No movie will ever top this.

seriously what the fuck is the point.

I mean the scene with the Turkish biplane soloing the Beduin camp early in the movie would be CGI now. but they used an actual plane. and they built Aquaba as a set for that one tracking shot that ends on the artillery piece. for fuck's sake.

>Almost all movement in the movie goes from left to right. Director Sir David Lean said he did this to emphasize that this movie was a journey.
>To film Omar Sharif's entrance through a mirage, Freddie Young used a special 482mm lens from Panavision. Panavision still has this lens, and it is known among cinematographers as the "David Lean lens". It was created specifically for this shot and has not been used since.
>When filming in Jordan, every drop of water for the production was brought in by truck from the nearest well, one hundred fifty miles (two hundred forty-two kilometers) away.
>In an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992), Peter O'Toole confessed quite proudly that, out of fear of falling off during a big camel riding scene, he and Omar Sharif decided to get absolutely hammered and then tied themselves down on the camels before shooting. By his own admission, he was so drunk, he had no idea where he was or what he was doing for the entire scene (attack on Aqaba).
>Peter O'Toole was often injured during filming. He received third-degree burns, sprained both ankles, torn ligaments in both his hip and thigh, broken his thumb, dislocated his spine, fractured his skull, was bitten by a camel, sprained his neck, tore a groin muscle, and was concussed twice. He also seriously injured his hand during filming by punching through the window of a caravan while drunk. A brace or bandage can be seen on his left thumb during the first train attack scene, presumably due to this incident.
A truly based specimen of film production

Did you watch the director's cut with the 10 minute rape scene or the plebeian sanitized theatrical release?

>It was created specifically for this shot and has not been used since.

Now that is fucking based

>10 minute rape scene

Guess the theatrical release

Zoomers should all hang.
