Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
The most pompous, amazing and beautiful environment we have seen on screen
So, to start of, I would like to say that this is one of few movies with such amazing environment. Beautiful, and not to mention pompous. David Lean, the director of the film do deserve all the credits he have received. David Lean was able to catch the smallest particle in the desert and make it to the most extraordinary thing you have seen on screen your entire life. But, not to forget, there are two other gentlemen we got to mention and care for. Freddie Young, the photographer and Peter O'Toole himself. Freddie Young's accomplishment with using widescreen and different image compositions is beyond compare! Peter O'Toole with his sparkling blue eyes and his interpretation of T.E Lawrence is peerless. These three men each have a significant part in the work of the classic Lawrence of Arabia. What if David Lean didn't direct the movie, whom would then catch those precious views as David Lean did? Or what if David Lean had chosen Albert Finney as T.E Lawrence (as was planned)? We do not know, we'll never know. But one thing is absolutely sure. A removal of just a few people from the team of Lawrence of Arabia could have ended in an absolute disaster. Everyone had their function.
