 Lawrence has one problem May 24, 2007

My VHS tape of Lawrence of Arabia arrived quickly and had no noticable flaws. However, when I viewed the video, I found a 30 second section on the second tape that was damaged. Otherwise, the tape was very good.
 Experiencing Lawrence Of Arabia DVD on a new 37" TV May 15, 2007

Our 2002 JVC recently bit the dust(went DARK)and we upgraded to a 37" Olevia (Best Buy from Consumer reports). We tried our new "Lawrence" DVD and were stunned to see the difference in picture quality, sound and brightness. The desert vistas were breathtaking and it was like being there - - - with a regular DVD.
This picture and the music are as good as they get. A monumental achievement!

In a world where we can only take YouTube videos for 10 minutes at a time, or have commercials that are a brief 30 seconds long, it's amazing to expect people to sit still for 217 minutes straight in order to watch a long, drawn out epic story. This isn't a rough-and-fast war film full of flowing blood and heads blowing off. It's much more subtle than that. It's about understanding a people very different from yourself, about being willing to immerse yourself in their world.
Get yourself set up front for a long, thoughtful experience. Pour yourself a glass of wine. Set out a tray of cheese and grapes. Watch this on a widescreen TV if at all possible so you get the full sweeping experience of the hot desert, the enormous landscapes. This movie really does transport you to another world - where the ticking clock doesn't matter as much as the hot sun moving slowly ... slowly across the sky.
This really is a journey. Lawrence was an 'every man' at the beginning, drawn into the situation, drifting along. As he went, he grows, matures, and learns to take a stand. When others would abandon a boy to the fates, Lawrences decides that the boy can be saved. It is not up to nature - it is up to each of us, as a human, to make a stand for what we believe in.
This is definitely a film you want to watch on DVD - no commercials, no interruptions, no cutting out segments to "save time". It is almost a form of meditation, to immerse yourself in a world where a different clock kept time. The messages from the early 20th century are just as meaningful today. We must learn from our history.
Highly recommended.
