Some brief thoughts on Lawrence of Arabia

I think I shall need some more time to really digest what I have just seen. So this is not so much a review as a 'There will be a review in the future.' I feel like I have been hit with a sledge-hammer. This movie did not give me what I expected. Thusly, it is a better film for it. It subverted my expectations in such a way that I left satisfied not pissed[see the final two entries in the Matrix 'trilogy'(yes I realize that is in quotes)]

Thoughts:
- Lawrence as a character is far more complex than talk of this movie led me to believe. In fact the whole affair(the film) is anything but simple.
- The 'capture and torture' scene was... Unsettling. Not in a The Deer Hunter way. More in a Pulp Fiction way. Only less gratuitous.
- This may be the finest epic I have ever seen.

*Note: There shall be a full review in this space once I have given the film time to stew. I'm looking at a week here. This way I can rewatch the movie and then fully form my thoughts. I'm sorry but this feature has blown me away.
