Lawrence of Arabia is the ultimate movie, deeply cinematic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Lawrence of Arabia' is a film that anyone wanting to become an actor should watch at least six hundred times.
I love 'Lawrence of Arabia,' big sweeping films. I want my films to feel that way, to be on a big canvas.
I love to look at The Graduate, or Lawrence of Arabia, or things I had nothing to do with. But you could not get me to go back and watch movies that it was a privilege just to be around them when they were being made.
Like so many Boomers, I saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' in 1962 when it was first released and when we were young teenagers. I'm not quite sure why - I really wish some psychologist would explain this - but that movie had a tremendous effect on many of us.
T. E. Lawrence was far more than a glamorous, swashbuckling, heroic figure in flowing robes mounted on a camel, leading the Arab tribes against the Turks in World War One.
There's enough of a willingness in the West to do sympathetic movies about Arab roles.
Films are amazing. To be a part of a movie is the greatest. It's so historic and exciting.
'Midnight Cowboy' is an exquisite piece of filmmaking. It's insane.
My films often have a spiritual dimension which comes from my Muslim background, and I'm happy to tackle that in cinema.
I mean, it was a mummy movie. It was a good film independent of its source. It that looks like Lawrence of Arabia on steroids in a lot of ways.
