Thank you very much!
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?
Can you make a video for Dr. Zhivago?
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.
2001 ? Bladerunner?
Lawrence of Arabia is the best cinematography of all times in my opinion.
Yeah, Lord of the Rings as well. For me Lawrence slightly edges it...
, Barry Lyndon, and the great silence also have good cinematography
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.
The best Period
Amen
"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. This, I did".
Nicely said by Lawrence himself.
Great and favorite quote.
"Lawrence Of Arabia" is why we go to the movies in the first place.
Let me fix that for ya... _"Lawrence Of Arabia" is why we __-go-__ went to the movies in the first place._
I saw it on the big screen in a re-release in the early 70'. Absolutely awesome. Then 12 years later I went to Arabia myself and lived there for two years. The place is just as magnificent as it looks in the film.
@@ruthpurkey5682 was the film the reason you lived there for 2 years?

I think the film was why I was interested in going when the opportunity presented itself. It was my husband who found the jobs. At the time the Saudi government was building hospitals but didn't have the the system in place to have trained Saudi citizens to staff them. So they brought in foreign workers. It was a very international staff.
We were in Tabuk, which is in the north east corner of the country, one of the areas where Lawrence operated. We saw some of what was left of the Hejaz railway. There was a traIn he had blown up out away from town and the railway had gone through Tabuk, so there was an old train station there. We also went to Aqaba. We were allowed to go to the Red Sea, about a three hour drive through the desert, and the scenery was awesome.
@@ruthpurkey5682 I was kind of the same way when I was deployed to Iraq. Growing up I was told by veterans who were in Iraq in the early 2000s how it was a dirty place with a savage people. But seeing it for myself I absolutely fell in love with the country, the people, and the culture
i remember my grandma telling me that when she saw this movie in theaters she could almost feel the heat of the desert. so incredibly immersive was its cinematography.
One comment out of 127 was gracious enough to acknowledge the cinematographer responsible for these images. Freddie Young, BSC was his name. The beauty of this film did not occur spontaneously. It was the fruit of passion, knowledge, and experience. David Lean was wise enough to realize that the success of his vision would require a dedicated, and artistic collaborator. Appreciation for this effort works best with attribution.
Absolutely and don't forget the great Nicolas Roeg working on second unit.
I read somewhere that Freddie Young designed a special lens for shooting the mirage scene at the well.
The cinematography yes. But also the score. Combined they make perhaps the most spectacular movie ever made.
It insists upon itself...
I saw it in Paris in the early sixties. The screen was HUGE and it had full surround sound, with bass you could feel. Like going to another planet.
You're so lucky...
This film carried such a different tone of itself you almost forgot that it’s a war film. Nothing like it and no other war film can be compared to it
Very few films from any genre can be compared to it. Lawrence of Arabia is simply a spectacular achievement in every way.
@@AimForMyHead81 EXACTLY.
1917
I agree.
The Thin Red Line, whilst invoking different emotions, it also made me forget often that I was watching a war film.
Many people forget that this masterpiece is one of the most influential films ever made, for example influenced Kubrick's new grand style of vissual mastery with 2001 space Odyssey and continued with Barry lyndon, etc, that perfection of the image... David Lean was a visionary.
and Dune's director credits this masterpiece as being the true inspiration for his films especially the Herbert epic.
@@themythicfire7560
Whether it is acknowledged or not. Every modern Film maker owes a thanks to David lynch and Freddie Young BSC.
For raising the expectations (not to mention budgets), of the entire industry.
@@themythicfire7560 The real Lawrence is where Herbert got some of Dune's concept in the first place.
Never forget Spilberg was greatly inspired by this movie, there is a 8 min video where he talks about Lawrence extensively
@@themythicfire7560 Dune 2 is literally just the plot of Lawrence of Arabia
For a reason it was chosen by ASC as the best cinematography of all time. Seeing this film is like going through a museum frame by frame due to the great quality and beauty of its images. How much one misses productions of this nature, with hardly any VFX, recorded in authentic natural landscape. The immersion in the plot is unique.
@Movie Magic Technically Of similar quality and intent
I read somewhere that Lean and Young waited days to film the perfect sunrise.
Right it is one of the greatest, in my opinion other are
Days of heaven
Barry lyndon
Apocalypse now
Blade runner
Fellowship of the ring
Children of men
Interstellar
Blade runner 2049
This movie was made 14 years before Star Wars, and has aged so, so much better. It's like a series of paintings and a symphony all in one.
Because it has no visual effects or weird looking creatures
and because Disney didn't make 50 different remasters of it just to steal our money
@@user-rd6uc2sf6i actually Disney only made one remaster, the rest were by George Lucas before Disney bought Lucasfilm so if anything blame him, not Disney
@@popflicktionedits3256 Has Disney-Lucasfilm even made a remaster? The only change before the 2019 Disney+ 4K release (the Lucas versions made for 3D release) was for the 2015 Digital Movie Collection, which only removed the Fox fanfare before TESB and ROTJ. As far as I know, there was no actual change to the movies themselves. Honestly, I think Disney-Lucasfilm is unwilling to change the originals anymore than they've already been altered.
One is a sci-fi flick the other a period piece, go figure!
@@user-rd6uc2sf6i I mean, the original SW looks even worse than the remasters.
Stunning movie. It's one of those rare occasions when everything is in perfect sync. Acting, directing, dialogues music, cinematography, production design, etc. This is how you create a timeless classic that serves as an example and inspiration. Masterpiece
Best watched in the cinema! Never forget Omar Sheriff’s entrance into the film and thinking bloody hell this is no ordinary movie! Scene were Lawrence is riding his camel and a British soldier rides his motorbike on the other bank of the river and shouts at Lawrence in his own voice “who are you”?! is amazing and thought provoking!
The scene with Omar *Sharif* riding into view is truly stunning, and it was the start of a great career. Good for David Lean to cast at least one actual Arabic actor.
The British soldier riding his motorbike was David Lean in a cameo.
this movie was beautiful, the score and cinematography are perfect, the epic scale of this movie was awsome and i still can't believe they made it in 1962 !!! how crazy that was...even movie nowadays would prefer shooting on studio rather on the real set location like this movie, Peter O Toole also great he should won best actor oscar, i think this is one of the best film i ever seen (sorry for my bad english)
Uma das mais lindas músicas que eu já ouvi
Studio shooting was even more preferred back then than now. Davin Lean was a true revolutionary in this matter, he started it with The Bridge on the River Kwai but upped it several notches with this film. I wonder how he convinced the studio bosses to give him the extra money.
@@Daneelro His career, making great cinema, goes back to the 1940's. With that kind of reputation, AND his CLOUT, he could suade any Studio. Don't forget Dr.Zhivargo too.
Part of this movie was shot in Sevilla (Spain). My uncle was working as a bell boy at the hotel where the cast was staying. He always says that Peter O'Toole was drunk all the time, but anyway he was amazing.
Ha!
De veras sorprendente! Sabe Ud por qué algunas partes se rodarian en España, y no toda en África?
Saludos desde Argentina!🇦🇷
As am I 😊
Everyone says that Peter O'Toole was drunk all the time...especially Peter O'Toole.
@@ninnosimoni755 muchas peliculas del oeste o que estan ambientadas en el desierto se graban en españa porque tiene ya las infraestructuras (el hotel del que hablaba el comentario original por ejemplo) y sets preparados para alojar a los actores, produccion... ademas se tiene facil acceso a comida, agua, comodidades, seguridad... ya puedes imaginar que en el continente africano esto no se puede asegurar y es mucho mas dificil de hacer. En jordania tambien se graban algunas peliculas, por ejemplo para recrear el suelo marciano en The Martian protagonizada por matt damon se grabó allí. Te sorprenderia saber cuantos westerns se graban en los desiertos de almeria xd
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.
Well written. Poetic. Thanks.
Damn, what an essay, my friend... just wow!
Except for the last paragraph, which shattered the illusion, it was quite poetic.
Wow! So well-written and so true. Bravo!
I remember my mom and dad thought their 13 year-old would last under an hour with this one. Well, they were wrong. This is an incredible film that has withstood the test of time.
I have been reading reviews ever since I saw it yesterday. A lot of people keeping saying they watched it when they were 13.🤭wow
Haha I was about 13 aswell. That movies ages soooo well as you grow older.
I was 12 maybe 13 and saw it in 1963 in a theater. No film has left a bigger impression on me than Lawrence of Arabia.
@@Foomba so you're around 72
@@babbisp1 I'll be 72 next November. 😃
I saw this movie only once and how the hell did I forget how stunning this movie was?
Seeing it on the small screen (with the exception of a very large TV) does not do it , or the viewer, justice.
The direction is peerless. Notice that every wide screen shot is perfectly still. The Director let's you soak in the whole frame which would otherwise dilute if the camera was moving around the subject. One of the most beautifully shot movies. Total masterpiece.
I'll always love movies that let the scenes breath and develop it in its own natural and complex way.
Like impressionnist paintings
Large-scale, beautiful historical film and classics of cinema.
I watched this movie four times and it was awesome! I even read the biography of Lawrence. Thanks for the great job!
One of my favourite movie!
Every frame is a beautiful image.
The best film of all time in my eyes. It is what I call a perfect film.
Something I really appreciate about this channel is how every movie shown is at the purest HD possible. This is one of those movies that is unbearable when the quality is low, but goregous when it's high. Thanks!
Thank you!
The objective of a film is to fill the eyes and the mind. To fully immerse the audience.
And whenever possible to fill the soul.
"Lawrence of Arabia" is one of the finest examples of this art.
Epics like this one, Ben Hur, 2001,etc. Truly beautiful films on a gran scale, wish they made more like these.
@G Galeno but you get his point.
Once Upon A Time In The West, Once Upon A Time In America, 1900, The Last Emperor, Gandhi, The Deluge, The Emperor and the Assassin, Dersu Uzala, and Ran are some of the films with a similar epic scale.
One of the most gorgeous movies ever. If anyone has a chance to see a 70mm screening of this, do it. The picture quality is so crisp, you can see the individual sand grains!
Yes, I did see this in 70mm.. the most amazing cinema experience!
This film is extraordinary in everything. In the cast, in
photography and on the soundtrack. I love
Nothing beats 70mm, so beautiful. Keep up the great work love this channel.
Thank you for the support!
Lawrence of Arabia es una colosal obra maestra del séptimo arte. Ojalá se enseñara en las escuelas.
Es propaganda británica... porque enseñar propaganda? (mentiras)
@@luiso2596>Llama propaganda a una de las mejores películas de la historia
> Suscrito a RT
Came across the remastered version of this movie on youtube someone uploaded and it was the best film I've ever seen.
I was fortunate to see LOA on a large screen in Pittsburgh during the initial run. The theater also had a great sound system. It was an amazing experience.
I saw this at the cinema last September. Breathtaking. Pure cinema.
No cgi orgy compares to these epic battles and monumentally silent vistas.
Imagine an attempt, to remake this today, or any true story from history, of this kind ( crazy I know ) no CGI allowed. Just think of the financial risk to studios, with colossal amounts of money. One of my favourite action films, based on history, was MGM's ''Mutiny on the Bounty''. Great actors, action, and, THEY EVEN BUILT, A COMPLETELY ACCURATE NEW SHIP' based on the Royal Navy's original plans.for christsake, AND, FILMED IT ON LOCATION IN THE PACIFIC. Plus, a fabulous music score.---same year 1962. It bombed, almost destroying MGM.
In the case of David Lean's films you could include almost any part of his many movies and it would fit the bill of beautiful cinematography. You've chosen some of the best from Lawrence of Arabia and they are a pleasure to watch.
Quem foi o protagonista desse FILME?
@@mariaabadia4251 T.E. Lawrence
Simply Breathtaking Music & Landscape!..
This is the movie that made me look at films as pieces of art instead of just a movie.
This channel is just awesome. Nothing more needs to be said.
Thank you very much!!!
Where is my rug?
I've seen this film many, many times in theatres screening in 70mm and at home on TV. first seen it as a child in the early 1960's and probably another 50 times since. never get tired of it and probably the greatest war film ever made . when it was made in 1962 it was depicting events that occurred in 1918 being closer in time than when the film was made to the present time
"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"

The first film in my life with my mother i was 5 years old it was in ivory coast in Bouake a great emotion for the rest of my life thank you to the legendary Maurice Jarre for his music i am today 64 years old but it is like it was yesterday, nostalgia when you are there!
Magnificent cinematography.
Really needs to be seen on a curved screen, at least 50 metres wide (literally).
YES! I've been waiting for this. Def do more David Lean!!! Ah I swear he is one of the greatest if not THE greatest.
You're right!!
@@TheBeautyOf I just wish he had made more films!
I agree, he is one of the greatest and deserves to be included in the top 10 directors of all time. Extremely underrated. Wish he could have made more films.
As a child this is where my love & awe for the desert began! The beauty & masterpiece of both this wonderful film & it's soundtrack convey the magnificence of its subject & setting.
I had the pleasure to see the restored masterpiece in a restored theater featuring a cinemascope screen. Truly breathtaking!
Epic doesn't mean how much you spend or how many people you have in the movie. It means the idea you cover. This is not an action film. It's a film about a unique man and his journey and boy, is that a journey. Epic in every way.
this bring so many memories... nice vid as always
One of THE greatest cinematic productions of all times! CG and AI will NEVER diminish such genuine artistic craftmanship.
I saw this great movie in Cairo the first week it opened in 1963, in a huge theatre as so many are over there, with huge screens and excellent sound ! One of the very best movie experiences of my life.
Because everything You see is real... no scale models, no CGI ! RIP film director David Lean (1908-1991)
He leido varias veces los 7 Pilares de la Sabiduria , y siempre encuentro algo nuevo en este libro de Lawrence, de verdad te sumerge en su viaje eterno por los desiertos de arena .
Gorgeous. Amazing movie and great compilation.
Wow, stunning! Well done man.
This splendid music combined with the magnificent cinematography make for a true cinematic experience.
You know a movie is brilliant when seconds into an edit you’re having trouble holding back tears, this movie is visual-auditory masterpiece, absolute perfection. The Saving Gasim scene is one of my favourite, Maurice Jarre absolutely soars in every second his score is used, but in that scene in particular it is just so enrapturing and exciting, yet heartbreaking in hindsight.
Since 1962 it remains unsurpassed!😻
They say you can freeze frame a David Lean film at any time, put a frame around it and hang it on a wall. Beautiful lens work by Freddie Young as well. Nice video that captures it all perfectly.... and there's probably a dozen or more shots/scenes.
exactly. Almost every frame is a painting
In my opinion, it is the best film of all time, because it is absolutely perfect in all possible facets of a film: script, music, cinematography, acting and, of course, David Lean's superb direction. I actually like all the movies that Mr. Lean directed. Masterpieces.
Hi Julio.....some of us have his picture on the wall !
@@habu179 Great!
I wish I could watch this movie in IMAX today
I love a great film like that. Thanks for sharing The Beauty Of.
It took way too long for me to see this movie. And now I'm obsessed
This film is so beautifully stunning, it brings me to tears every time just marveling at it. A sense of yearning.
David Lean was a great master, a genius with an extraordinary vision of Cinema. With Lawerence of Arabia he gifted filmmakers and audience with a vision of how beautiful cinema can look, how best to use lenses and divine light. He spent so much time in the Jordan desert before the shoot, that he would know exactly what time the best light would hit a certain sand dune. He saw, what few saw before him, the potential of an extraordinary Cinema vision. Lawerence of Arabia is just not a classic film, it is a pionering masterclass in Film Direction, Film Blocking and Film Cinematography.
Absolutely agree
I absolutely adore this channel... There's just something about its simple concept that makes it so I just have to keep watching. May I suggest 'The Beauty Of Breaking Bad'?
Thank you very much Eisenberg!
You're goddam right, the beauty of Breaking Bad is coming!
I have this on blue ray. I must watch again as soon as I get home.
Love this movie, love this video, love this soundtrack. Just awesome!
Thank you 😊
I've never watched this movie but the beauty of these scenes alone bring me to tears
Very beautiful music and scenes
I can’t even imagine how production for this would’ve gone, the crew would’ve gotten set up on a mountain and would have to wait for hours for the actors and camels to get all the way to the distance, and then they would start shooting, David Leans cinematography was astounding but I bet everyone on set was sick of it
I discovered this gem of a channel just now... and wow. Keep up with this amazing work, it is much apreciated. Hope that your channel grows to no end
Thank you so much!!
Happy 60th anniversary Lawrence of Arabia! Such a wonderful film that has aged so well! If someone told me it was made last year I would believe them...Such a beautiful piece of cinema!
At age seventy I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about ! After watching it I immediately understood just what all the cuss was about. Sublime movie, one of the best ever made. Perhaps "the" best.
Undoubtedly, my favorite part of the film was the beautiful widescreen shot of the sand and the people.
I’ve never been a big sucker for old movies but this movie is so beautiful I love it
Master Director David Lean and Master Cinematographer Freddie Young and Master composer Maurice Jarre × 3, Lawrence Of Arabia - 1962 & Doctor Zhivago - 1965 & Ryans Daughter - 1970, sublime filmmaking.
probably the best cinematography in any film ever.
Astounding compositions and colors, the way they show scale by dwarfing the camels and letting it sit on a frame for a while just to let the audience BASK in how grand and terrifying the desert is.
If ever there was a movie that one could say was made for this channel, here it is.
I can watch it on loop. Thanks for this out of body experience
This movie made me fall in love with the desert
"We love water and green trees. There is nothing in the desert. And no man needs nothing."
Perfection
10/10
Masterpiece. I've lost count of the amount of times I've watched this.
Beauty of This Movie is its cinematography. Breathtaking.
Excellent story of an amazing man backed by excellent sound & cinematography.
I think David Lean understood a movie is great when you paint the picture, feelings, depth, and without telling too much. Yet he did find his story and actor.
Absolutely the most beautiful adventure movie ever made and very probably the most beautiful movie of any kind. Kudos for David Lean, Freddie Young and Peter O'Toole. The days when people created works of art, not investments by bookkeepers. Also they had a great story to work with. Read the life of T. E. Lawrence. He was an amazing and complex man.
Lawrence understood the treachery of the colonial English and how they played the Arabs for fools in the first world war. The Arabs laid down their lives believing that they would be granted independence at wars end. However it was the influential Jews in England who got the ear of the British government and were allowed to e ter the land of Palestine, despite clear opposition from all the Arab tribes at the time. Never trust an Englishman, nor a Jew for that matter.
Yes, its the best film of all time! No disputing this! I love it, every scene, over and over again!
The perfect score for this superb cinematography
Peter O'Toole, one of the most beautiful people ever!
David Lean, one of the best
My favorite movie of all time. It impacted me so much. That music and feeling of epicness is enriched by everything.
That music though. It captures the desert better than the moving pictures
One best movie ever made and ben hur ufff that movi is gold
Haha you named two of my most favorite movies.
After 60 years it’s still the most beautiful movie ever made. Massive shoutout to the cinematographers
Hi. That would be Freddie Young. Or 'Sir' Freddie Young....as he was knighted for his services to cinema. He also won 3 Oscars for his Cinematography. All 3 wins were for his camera & lighting work in movies directed by David Lean. 1) The above film. 2) Dr. Zhivago, and 3) Ryan's Daughter. Thanks.
It is still absolutely breathtaking and without equal.
Another beautiful epic is Dr Zhivago also with Omar Sharif and Lean directing, mentioned below. They don't make them like this anymore. Scorsese comments comparing Marvel movies to amusement parks rides is right. It's mostly CGI. Theses movies lack depth. They're silly with caped heroes battling bad guys. It's the same plot with only slight variations. Boring! Give me a good old fashioned epic anytime.
@@Timo-15 And his work on YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE was some of the best in the 007 series.
I saw this movie maybe 3 times and this scene of crossing the desert 🐪 is so romantic and the music unforgettable !!!!
Any chance of doing Doctor Zhivago by Lean as well?
So does my wish
Woke up at 6 am, this made my day 😍😍😍
A true Masterpiece!!!
I've watched it for the first time yesterday. What an amazing experience. I'd love to watch it on a big screen. I understand why it influenced Spielberg and Villeneuve so much.
Film Colossale. Grande Cast e magnifica colonna sonora. Grazie!

¿so?, did you travel to the desert?'
@@dvandeun no! unfortunatly not yet. But there are many countries and places in the middle east i very much would have wanted to visit, not only for the desert but also since there are so many historic sites i would have loved to see in person. One day:)
