Just watched for umpteenth time “Lawrence of Arabia.” Leave aside all the homosexual imagery, what an astounding movie in photography, what it says about Arabs, and friendship.
Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia
He was an English guy
He came to fight the Turkish
(Hollywood Knights, one of the funniest movies, ever)
Ok, but seriously, I consider “Doctor Zhivago” the greatest movie ever made.
The character of Pasha/Strelnikov illustrates the tragedy of Communism probably better than anything. Turning idealistic people into monsters who eventually get eaten by the Revolution they helped to bring to power.
