Movie Reviews of Lawrence of Arabia (Single Disc Edition)
Movie Review: Excellent DVD of a classic film.
Summary: 5 Stars
Since there are countless reviews of the film (which is amazing, gorgeous, and thrilling beyond compare!) this will be a review of the single disc DVD version of this fine film.
This DVD had all the features I was looking for...... complete opening, intermission, and closing music... all provided in digitally mastered 5.1 Dolby Digital and Anamorphic Widescreen. No other special features to speak of.... but it does provide subtitles in a variety of languages which I think is always a nice addition... as well as scene selection.
This DVD was beautiful to watch and listen to. If you are a fan of the film and are looking for something to hold you over until the 4k version is released (in my dreams!)..... then this will do quite nicely.
Summary of Lawrence of Arabia (Single Disc Edition)
A dramatic portrait of the famed british officers journey to the middle east. Assigned to arabia during world war i lawrence courageously unites the warring arab fractions into a strong guerilla front and leads them brilliant victories in treacherous desert battlefields where they defeat the ruling turkish empire. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/23/2005 Starring: Peter Otoole Omar Sharif Run time: 224 minutes Rating: Pg Director: David LeanThere's no getting around a simple, basic truth: watching Lawrence of Arabia in any home-video format represents a compromise. There's no better way to appreciate this epic biographical adventure than to see it projected in 70 millimeter onto a huge theater screen. That caveat aside, David Lean's masterful "desert classic" is still enjoyable on the small screen, especially if viewed in widescreen format. (If your only option is to view a "pan & scan" version, it's best not to bother; this is a film for which the widescreen format is utterly mandatory.) Peter O'Toole gives a star-making performance as T.E. Lawrence, the eccentric British officer who united the desert tribes of Arabia against the Turks during World War I. Lean orchestrates sweeping battle sequences and breathtaking action, but the film is really about the adventures and trials that transform Lawrence into a legendary man of the desert. Lean traces this transformation on a vast canvas of awesome physicality; no other movie has captured the expanse of the desert with such scope and grandeur. Equally important is the psychology of Lawrence, who remains an enigma even as we grasp his identification with the desert. Perhaps the greatest triumph of this landmark film is that Lean has conveyed the romance, danger, and allure of the desert with such physical and emotional power. It's a film about a man who leads one life but is irresistibly drawn to another, where his greatness and mystery are allowed to flourish in equal measure. --Jeff Shannon
