Our next history lesson takes us on a journey across the desert through the longest film to date for this show. Clocking in at just under four hours, David Lean’s masterpiece is a film that truly stands alone in its scope and technique in filmmaking. No one had ever made a movie quite like this in 1962, and it feels safe to say no one will ever make another one like it again. Because the original story of the figure behind this week’s movie and the process of making the film itself were both epic in every sense of the word. And while we have some issues with the script and storytelling, the sheer beauty, magnitude and influence of this week’s film are simply undeniable. Grab your gun and climb on your camel as we continue our History Lessons series with 1962’s Lawrence of Arabia on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
