This is an epic personal biography, a pure hero movie, all the desert beauty, Xiaoxiao battlefield is completely for Lawrence, does this movie have any other actors? Almost none, their presence is too weak. There are not even details of the enemy, everything is blurred, so in this vast yellow sand, the audience can't take their eyes away from Lawrence.
The movie is very long, and the first half is creating a god-like man. He is the kind of person who can "jump" out of the crowd. He is judged by others as weird, arrogant, funny, smart, and extremely individualistic, so serious that There is no god in this foreign land of the desert, and it is called "the cursed god". The second half began to pull him down from the altar, filming him as a flesh-and-blood ordinary person, focusing on creating a hero will distort the character. The movies of our country in the 1960s and 1970s are standard negative teaching materials. There is no doubt that this movie The second half is the real highlight.
He is too mythical. When I watched the movie, my evaluation of him was between the extremes of "I'm afraid he's not a fool" and "What a fool". It was like a roller coaster. ) And the same is true of his life. This doesn't stop him from being a great man, all great men are ego, and the film discusses the saying that the great man is destined, is he destined to be a great man? All I know is that he has fought against fate all his life.
The small branch of reporters is from the perspective of the media or the public. Everyone does not understand the tragedy of the hero. They only see his bright side, just like his skin.
You should watch this on blue light. Big characters, big viewing angles, big themes, big music, the 482mm ultra-telephoto lens on the Mirage side, and the actors approached from 400 meters away on camels. For this shot, it's also worth watching. Secondly, how to capture the richness of a monotonous and vast subject like a desert? You can watch it several times.
I'm still too young now. Looking back in a few years, I'll probably have more to say.
Supplementary background knowledge on December 4th
On September 30, 1918, at the end of World War I, the British, with the support of Arab troops, captured Palestine, which was formerly under the jurisdiction of Turkey. Lawrence, who was studying history at Oxford University's Jesus College (he was only 30 at the time), became a mystery advisor and helped Emir Faisal get to Damascus. In "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", he wrote that the Arabs believe more in force, and he prefers handicrafts, and he can often find enviable things, but what he admires most is the sincerity of people's outspokenness. But the British army broke their promise and divided the Ottoman Empire with France that had been promised to Faisal.
Lawrence was deeply injured in the later period. He was burdened with the shame of betraying his Arab comrades and the trauma of the war, especially in Daraa, where he was sexually assaulted and suffered a long-term depression. The eventual death in a car accident is also a relief from this point of view.
