One of those films where the location is its own character. The red, orange, golden, parched, dry desert sands that seem to stretch out forever. Unforgiving and cruel in the heat it bears down onto you, yet also a scene of dazzling natural beauty, acres of unspoilt perfection where the skies are the most clear. Its that dialectic of the desert that so utterly enraptures Lawrence himself, so utterly alien from anything like his Britush colonial officer life. He, and he alone amongst the elite, becomes possessed of its beauty, not as a new playground for colonialism, but as something grander, mythic, epic. He tries, inadequately and with many flaws, to become a part of it as sure as the rocks, as if trying to kill some part of Officer Lawrence, allow the buzzards to eat it and the sands to slowly bury it, and become reborn as Lawremce of Arabia, the wild, passionate, half mad desert philosopher warrior engaging in a form of warfare far ahead of it's time both politically and practically.

And yet it also ends up representing himself. Like the desert, he is beautiful. A youthful, blonde, blue eyed pretty boy, sensitive and poetic, slightly eccentric, romantically inclined, with a naive idealism that drives him forward. Hes about as far from the standard brutish colonial type you could get. Yet he also clearly, to some extent, goes mad. Hes cruel, merciless, ruthless in his tactics. He slaughters a fleeing band of Turks without pity, bellowing "take no prisoners!" at the top of the voice, eyes wide and flaring, all in a mad race to chase this doomed dream of a United Arabia which recedes before his eyes as much as the low sun does amongst the flat arid surface before him. Like many men who have spent to long in the desert, he starts to hallucinate before him a wondrous vision, allowing his heat oppressed mind to see a glittering oasis before him. He ends up behaving with the same deluded fixation of a man who sees that oasis in the distance. And sure enough, he discovers his oasis, his united Arabia, was an illusion, and all that is left is sand. Miserable, cruel, hot sand.

The desert therefore is like some living force of nature, something sentient, watching everything below with an unblinking yellow eye. It goes through him, becomes him, possesses him, he becomes its avatar, and ultimately, it drives him mad.

Across these stretches of vast yellow lifeless seas the modern middle east is being born. Colonial powers will quite literally take the near limitless golden sands and draw arbitary lines in it, carving it amongst themselves and handing it over to their wealthy client rulers. The dream of United Arabia dies in the desert, the wind will billow over it, covering it beneath its surface, relentlessly washing away the footprints of Lawrence, and with him, his sincere, yet naive dream. This geographical patch of the earth stretching more or less from the east of Egypt to the east of Afghanistan, in this film, becomes a vast historical canvas from where modern history will be formed. A small area of the earth, it is gigantic in meaning and consequence.

And so Lawrence leaves, broken and depressed. His romantic dreams have been replaced by cold hard realpolitik. The oasis has become more harsh sand. The desert has now been redrawn. Less esoteric, oriental, mystical, magical, more harsher, more rigid, lines and boundaries under a blue and red colour, as opposed to the endless sun drenched beauty he first become enraptured with and projected such visions onto. But as much as the desert is beautiful, it is also cruelly indifferent to your visions. The remorseless sun beats down onto the heads of the good and the bad alike. Its cruel heat bathes everything below in a universal oppresive sweltering blanket. He leaves knowing now this dynamic, forever changed and haunted by the desert, of which he thought, as countless had done before, he could contribute one small line of its history. He fails, and leaves it back to the green of england. Meanwhile, the lone and level sands drift far away.

I mean, what a fucking staggering achievement if a film. Truly awe inspiring.

"When I was in my teens, Lawrence Of Arabia opened in Phoenix, Arizona, and I went with my parents. It was a swanky theatre with 70mm projection and stereophonic sound, and the loge-style seating in the smoking section would rock back and forward as you sat back in your chairs. But Lawrence Of Arabia never gave me the chance to test how the chairs worked, as I sat bolt upright for the entire film. Then came the scene as Lawrence and Sherif Ali and 50 other true believers cross the Nefud desert.

It was a prolonged sequence through every variety of arid landscape, much like the desert that surrounded that hometown Phoenix audience. That desert crossing cast a spell on me. Yet the first thing I noticed was how quiet the audience was and how few cigarettes were being lit as the sun bore down on the riders, most notably Gasim, who had fallen off his camel in the night and was trekking toward the rising furnace of a sun. Lawrence, risking everything, rides back for him as the sun grows in size until it looks like the whole audience is going to be sucked into it.

Then there is a jarring cut to camels and riders drinking from a great oasis and the tension is drastically broken. When the sequence ended, dozens of people in the audience suddenly rose to their feet and left the theatre. I didn’t understand what was happening. We had all watched one of the greatest moments in movie history and people were walking out... including my father.

The film continued to play, and by the time Sherif Ali burns Lawrence’s uniform many began to return... all of them laden with beverages. You could hear the crushed ice swishing inside their containers. Cokes and 7 Ups by the arm-loads! That sequence had dehydrated 800 people, many of whom rushed to the oasis of the concession stand to quench their thirst. I haven’t witnessed anything like it since"

You do a great job, keep up the awesome work. By chance, what are your sources for your work? Are you able to get any footage from 4K UHD Blu-ray’s with HDR?

@QwuithLordDartox

Can you make a video for Dr. Zhivago?

@robert32634

can you post the scene from doctor zhivago where komarovsky meets lara and zhivago and utters the words "do you accept the protection of this ignoble caliban under any terms that caliban cares to make etc". Rod Steiger does the scene so well.

@Leonardoeditor37

Lawrence of Arabia is the best cinematography of all times in my opinion.

@cafe1234arsenal

Yeah, Lord of the Rings as well. For me Lawrence slightly edges it...

@ethanwood9124

, Barry Lyndon, and the great silence also have good cinematography

@ananyabiswas3214

Freddie Young is one of the best cinematographers who could capture landscapes so breathtakingly. Wish he captured more lanscapes like of Japan, India(Himalayas) etc.

@jacka.hardin7713

The best Period
