I feel like it took me the whole day to watch this movie, and it basically did - it's about 4 hours long and I paused it at intermission to go to Whole Foods to get food for work the next day. It's a long movie but it was worth it.
Lawrence of Arabia was directed in 1962 by David Lean. It seems like it would have been impossible to sell this idea. A bunch of unknown actors not doing too much in the desert for 4 hours. I'm so glad that it was made. It reminded me of all the things I loved about
Aguirre, the Wrath of God - the strangeness, the madness, the epic feel and scope of the whole thing. It is everything that I love about epic, adventure movies. Sort of insane and boring but so utterly engrossing.
