For a brief background of this film, Lawrence of Arabia is based on the retelling of T.E. Lawrence's adventures during WWI. This film is thought to have had the best cinematography of any film of that era, shot with a Super Panavision 70-mm scope. The film tells of the life of a British officer who aided the Arabian Bedouins against the Turks during WWI. The Arabian Desert serves as a back drop for the making of this film. This film focuses on four main events in Lawrence's life; the defeating of Aqaba, Lawrence's capture and torture in Deraa, the massacre at Tafas, and the fall of Damascus.
             This film is rated two stars, during this film I tended to lose interest due to the dull graphics of that time period. I also began to fall asleep during some of the uneventful scenes. This film could have easily been broken down to about 45 minutes to an hour. I must however take into consideration what time period this movie was shot in. Maybe I am spoiled with the new technology we have in today's society and that is why I can't get into this movie or it could just be an outdated movie, past its prime of giving us continuous viewing pleasure. Maybe this is not the kind of movie I enjoy or maybe it's just a bad movie. Whatever the case, I had to give the movie two stars for mediocre acting by the leading actor and lack of guts and gore that I have come so accustomed to seeing in my day. I do have to say that the movie had a surprising crispness to it that I don't usually see with films from that time period, but that is the only thing that kept it from the dreaded zero stars that it deserves. So in closing, do yourself a favor and watch Titanic for the 5,000th time and save your money, don't rent this movie.
