movie that really made me want to be a movie maker. it's sweeping vistas of tremendous production value, sand dunes and perfect lighting conditions, and these amazing intimate close-ups. it's a story about a man who gets himself involved in these affairs between all the tribes of the middle east. >> the english gopher, they strike where they please and this makes them great. >> mr. lawrence, that will do. it's not your military advice. >> i would like to hear his opinion. >> damn you, lawrence. who do you take orders from? >> t.e. lawrence was british, but on the other hand, he becomes a kind of convert to the independence movement in the middle east. >> lawrence goes on this enormous journey and adventure in trying to help the bed ou win against the turks and wants to defend their rights.
