Lawrence of Arabia.. a magnum opus

hi

saw lawrence of arabia , a couple of days back.. As such the story is not that novel or you would say out of the box but there is something about the movie which has captivated me.

The harsh desert setting of Sahara contrasting with blue eyed Peter O Toole, his mental turmoil and the focussing on ethics inspite of the fact that the ppl he is fighting with and fighting against have scant regards for tat E word,his metamorphosis into the very characteristic of mankind he hated in view of the surrounding he was in .

To appreciate a classic like that one has to go out of the ordinary , the visuals , the audios and begin to see them in totality , only then would you be able to feel the pulse of the director and see the emotions he is trying to portray thru the elements of movie making.

Modern day Woo`s , spielbergs learn something from the masters. You have all the sophisticated gadgets still your movies dont have recall value but for these classics , a novice in movie watching like me seeing after some 30 odd yrs of their release was spell bound .
