Lawrence Of Arabia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_of_Arabia_(film)#/media/File:Lawrence_of_arabia_ver3_xxlg.jpg

For the eighth film of the month we have Lawrence Of Arabia 

First off, we have the story which has the story of T.E. Lawrence, the English officer who successfully united and led the diverse, often warring, Arab tribes during World War I in order to fight the Turks. I thought the story was very entertaining after hearing about the film and how great it is. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were all very well acted and each added something to the film for the story or for some of the characters. The standout was Peter O'Toole as Lawrence who gives a compelling performance throughout his time in Arabia and what he goes through. 

As for the film's visuals which I had heard much about I thought they were outstanding in terms of composition as well as lighting that made the desert look immaculate and mysterious. There was also the editing throughout which pieced the shots together in ways that made it seamless from one shot to the next. Now we have the action which was entertaining and fully realised by getting to see all the battles unfold. Moving onto the tone of the film which embraced both the epic and adventurous and from start to finish made sure there wasn't a boring moment. I thought the soundtrack of the film was great and added to the epic style of the film from sequence to sequence. 

Overall, I thought this film was very entertaining and is a great example of a classic film that you don't see very often anymore crafted with an engaging story, fantastic visuals merged with editing that keeps your attention and finally a main lead that you can route towards because of what he stands for.

I give Lawrence Of Arabia  a score of 10/10
