The film is almost a hybrid of ‘Singing in the rain’ and ‘A star is born’…

Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
P365 Film #363
This is a truly epic film. Not just in its running time (which is substantial), but in its scope and ambition. It depicts a man’s travels and experiences in Arabia during World War I. The landscapes are pretty amazing and it’s filmed beautifully. However, I can’t say I enjoyed all of it. What I did enjoy were the scenes of emotion and character moments. On the other hand, seeing people ride on camels for extended amounts of time, political talk and a rather slow-moving film in general, doesn’t interest me so much. I imagine a lot of film buffs would heavily disagree with me on all of this, but, while I can easily praise how well-made it is, simply, this film just didn’t do it for me.
