FAIRLY ACCURATE HISTORICAL DRAMA & AN IMPORTANT HISTORY . . . THE MOVIE SIMPLIFIES A COMPLEX HISTORY BASED ON THE NEARLY THOUSAND-PAGE "7 PILLARS.OF WISDOM" BY T. E. LAWRENCE; MUCH MORE WAS DECLASSIFIED 50 YEARS LATER, INCLUDING THE STORY OF HIS SECRET LOVER: SARAH AARONSON, A ZIONIST WHO RAN A NETWORK OF SPIES TO HELP DEFEAT THE TURKS AFTER HAVING WITNESSED THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. LAWRENCE WENT INSANE AFTER LEARNING SHE HAD BEEN CAPTURED & TORTURED FOR 3 DAYS BY THE TURKS, & THEN GRABBED A PISTOL AND SHOT HERSELF... FROM MAPS, DIARIES & LETTERS.
How could ANYONE rate this brilliant work of collaborative genius one, two, three stars . . . ANSWER:Sadly, there are cinema goers wouldn't know a brilliant movie if it landed in their lap, sat up, and sang the Star Spangled Banner in 3 part harmony! It is arguably in the top 10 movies of all time. just sayin . . .
Great Acting, Great writing, Great filming, Great editing, Great Story---an amazing presentation when skill was necessary with no special effects of today, The pace unfolding the story was simply superb... This is one of a small group of unique films... simply--A MASTERPIECE.
A stunning classic. Can't wait until Nov.11/12
